Capital Asset Management Systems (CAMS)
CAMS database collects capital asset and housing data from First Nations/Tribal Councils for the purposes of operational (funding), planning and program monitoring. The CAMS database consists of three existing modules;
Capital Asset Inventory System (CAIS)
First Nations report any changes to assets through data submitted annually as part of the terms and conditions of funding agreements. Along with costing data and service standards, asset information is used to gauge operation and maintenance (O&M) requirements and adequacy of infrastructure given the community population.
Asset Condition Reporting System (ACRS)
ACRS assess condition, and recommend health and safety requirements and other maintenance projects to extend the useful life of assets on a three-year cycle. Data on the condition of assets is used for recapitalization decisions, also as a long-term indicator for adequacy of O&M.
Capital Management Data Base (CMDB) / Housing and Infrastructure (H&IA)
Site-level information is gathered on housing and adequacy of basic community services such as fire protection, water and sewage systems, solid waste disposal, road access and electrification. Data is combined with CAIS infrastructure data to form part of the annual housing and infrastructure reports, in addition to providing data for determining high-level measurement for general condition of housing stock and adequacy of municipal services.
