9 Infrastructure Inventory and Condition

10 Infrastructure Inventory and Condition Infrastructure in BC worth > $50 billion $2 billion in Kamloops alone $160 million water mains $150 million sewer mains $130 million drainage mains $160 million booster and lift stations; treatment plants $900 million streets and environment $150 million civic buildings and fleet $330 million parks, recreation and culture assets $2 million IT assets Value is worth > $20,000 per capita Large potion of infrastructure in BC needs replacement Approximately $500 to $800 per capita is unfunded Worst is yet to come

11 Public Works Finance

12 Public Works Finance Average municipality 40 to 60% of total operating budget 45% in Kamloops Funding sources: Property taxes Senior Government Grants User fees Gasoline taxes Development Cost Charges Why do Public Works projects and services generally get supported?

13 Community Needs Demystified CIB Cultural Self Esteem Needs Parks and Rec Police / Fire Social Needs Safety Needs Water / Sewer Physical Needs

14 Typical Daily Household Tax and Utility Expenditures $/Day Debt Servicing, $0.19 Environmental Services, $0.08 Public Transit and Roads, $0.51 Community Grants, $0.19 Development Services, $0.09 Corporate Administration, $0.18 Fire Services, $0.60 Infrastructure Projects, $0.41 City Taxes Natural Gas City Utilities School District Power Cable Internet Telephone TNRD/HD/BCAA GST/PST Income Taxes $3.75/Day Police Services, $0.84 Garbage, $0.27 Recycling, $0.08 Parks, Recreation and Leisure, $0.66 Valuations based on: 1.

15 Public Vs Private Service Delivery

16 Public vs. Private Service Delivery Move to privatization 1990s Trend Reasons: Access to capital fund funding; Increased efficiencies; Lower costs Commonly contracted services Solid waste collection Landfill operations Custodial services Construction services Which is better? Factors to consider: Not capital cost alone! Capital costs typically represent 3 to 5% of total asset life-cycle cost Level of service Is there sufficient competition? Quality of jobs in community Maintenance of assets; future rehabilitation costs Contract administration costs Quality of service

21 Challenges and Opportunities

22 Key Challenges in Public Works Aging Infrastructure Changing technologies Shifting demographics Effective customer communication Financial constraints Growth pressures Economic pressures Booming construction industry Escalating material costs Changes in senior government legislation and regulations Aging workforce Union wages and exempt staff salaries Where are all the applicants?

23 Key Opportunities in Public Works Asset Management Proper ongoing maintenance of infrastructure assets is key Maximizes life-span of infrastructure Reduces long-term cost of providing service Pavement Management System; CMMS; Condition Assessments Carbon Neutral Operations LEED buildings Geothermal, solar and wind energy systems Anti-Idling programs LED traffic lights and fleet warning systems Hybrid vehicles Bio-Diesel Enhanced water and wastewater treatment Membrane technology Fully automated solid waste collection

25 Asset Management 1. What do we own? 2. What is it worth? 3. What is its condition? 4. What is the remaining service life? 5. What/When to replace/repair? 6. What is the cost impact?
