The partnership aims to: a) increase the types of municipal services covered by MSO; and b) strengthen MSO’s network of agencies, so as to seek greater improvements in municipal service delivery. 2. BCA, SLA and URA, in total, managed around 700 municipal cases every month, as indicated in the table below. Examples of these municipal issues include those caused by construction activities and illegal parking. [More information on the types of municipal services these three agencies handle is found in Annex A.] Average No. of Municipal Cases Handled by BCA, SLA and URA in 2014 Average no. of municipal cases Agency per month BCA 200 SLA 200 URA 300 3. The partnership will commence on 1 April 2015, with BCA, SLA and URA adopting MSO’s service standards, which includes an escalation protocol that surfaces complex cases to partner agency’s senior management and MSO’s attention. This way, complex cases, particularly those requiring inter-agency coordination, are closely tracked and followed through. 4. This is to be followed by the linking of the three agencies’ feedback management systems to MSO’s integrated municipal feedback management system, a central IT platform that facilitates monitoring, coordination and timely resolution of feedback cases across agencies. The full system integration is targeted to complete by end 2016. 1 5. With these three agencies on-board, MSO will now have a total of 11 partner agencies, including existing ones like the Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA), the Housing & Development Board (HDB), the Land Transport Authority (LTA), the National Environment Agency (NEA), the National Parks Board (NParks), the People’s Association (PA), PUB, and the Singapore Police Force (SPF).
