Can we meet them? •Getting older, faster/more replacement •Greater usage •Effect of other commitments •FramOil Filter •Good News & Bad News Public Works Department Infrastructure Sustainability Overview (Con’t) What do we mean by sustainability? “The capacity to maintain, renew and replace capital facilities in a manner that protects the initial investment and insures the effective & efficient functioning of the facilities”. Implies: •Service level/condition •Timeliness / backlog •Trends Public Works Department Infrastructure Sustainability Policy Framework •1999 Report •Recognition of Need: “A large portion of the City’s infrastructure, such as public buildings, roads, water and sewer lines, and schools, was constructed during the 1970’s and earlier, and these facilities are now reaching ages where major maintenance and repair, if not full replacement, should be planned”. •Identified Standard of 2% -4% of replacement value. •Establish target of 2% for Virginia Beach, on average. Public Works Department Infrastructure Sustainability Parks and Recreation Scope and Scale •Care of 10,000 Acres •6 recreation centers •Parking lots/paving –est. 70 acres •234 ball fields & multi purpose fields •135 playgrounds Issues •Aging infrastructure •Facility usage •Level of funding Public Works Department Infrastructure Sustainability Parks and Recreation •Recreation centers •Over use of active facilities due to demand. •80% of paving greater than 20 years old. •Overall funding level not keeping pace. •Full condition assessment underway.
