Values in parentheses reflect the present-day replacement costs of assets in each <br />condition category and do not correlate to the percentages shown. <br /> <br />Table A. State of Infrastructure Summary by Category <br /> <br /> <br />The fleet—particularly police and fire vehicles—is in the most critical condition, with more than <br />one-third classified as being in poor condition and beyond their useful life. This has resulted in <br />rising repair costs and an increased risk of service interruptions as vehicles and equipment <br />spend more time out of service for repairs. The issue compounds over time because funds that <br />should be used for vehicle replacement are instead diverted to emergency repairs, which do <br />not meaningfully extend the asset’s remaining life. <br /> <br />Facilities represent the next area of concern, with nearly a tenth of building assets rated in <br />poor or fair condition. This includes several buildings within the downtown Civic Center <br />campus. The growing backlog of facility needs will require strategic investment to prevent <br />further service impacts and cost escalation. With minimal investments in the facilities over the <br />next ten years, the City can expect that over 60 percent of the assets will be in Poor Condition <br />and over 20 percent in Fair Condition. See Attachment 2 for more detailed information on the <br />state of infrastructure, categorized by type. <br /> <br />Asset Replacement Projections <br />Asset replacement needs often occur in cycles, or “waves,” based on when assets were <br />originally built and placed into service. Although much of the City's assets are currently in good <br />condition, many of these assets are approaching the end of their life cycle. General Fund– <br />supported assets require an average of approximately $63 million per year over the next <br />decade to address assets currently in poor or failing condition, as well as those approaching <br />the end of their lifecycle to be replaced in kind. Prior 10-year CIP staff estimated $52 million <br />annually for general fund needs. <br /> <br />Figure 2. 10-Year Asset Replacement Projection <br />Page 338 of 373
