2 Integrating Financial & Land Use Planning through Asset Management Financial health and sustainability of our communities is at risk Financial officers should be involved in land use planning and planners involved in financial management = integration Financial assessment tools necessary to achieve sustainable development Key is asset management

3 Where are we? $200 bil infrastructure deficit ($13,870/household) 60% of Canada s core public infrastructure is owned and maintained by municipal governments Not able to address existing needs

4 Where are we? 35% of assets in poor condition 2016 Infrastructure Report Card 26% 32% 21% 22% Potable water Declining Wastewater Declining Stormwater Declining Roads Declining 25% 17% 19% 17% Bridges Declining Buildings Declining Sports & Rec. Declining Public Transit Unavailable

5 Cost of Sprawl

6 How did we get there? - Siloed ECON. DEV Attracting businesses & people Huh? PLANNING Population Projections Land Supply Nothing to do with me ENGINEERING Servicing Land Conventional Standards Operations (and maintenance?) in silos Told you so FINANCE $ for new capital costs $ for operations (and maintenance?) With what money??

7 How did we get here? - Reactive Waiting until asset fails or requires major renewal Stantec Consulting

8 How did we get there? Short-term Supporting land-use decisions that don t consider comparative or lifecycle infrastructure costs Failing to fully recover costs and fees Not reporting on infrastructure deficits Stantec Consulting

9 Status Quo If we continue on this path. Increasing infrastructure deficits leading to significant reductions in levels of service & increases in property taxes Inefficient management of local government services Disconnection of organizational priorities from its budget Marginalization of land use planning Increased severity of damage from climate change events

14 Effective Asset Management How do we achieve sustainable service delivery? What do we own? Where is it? What is it worth? INVENTORY CONDITION What condition is it in? What do we need to do to it and when? How much money do we need? Effective Asset Management RISK LEVELS OF SERVICE What are the consequences? Where are we vulnerable? Do we still need it? What do regulators require? What are public s expectations?
