| | 2. | | Review of the outline of the condition reports.
Minutes note: Ms. Brengosz said that she looked at the different types of infrastructure and the type of information that she thought would be useful and helpful. She then explained the different parts of the outline. (Please see the attachment titled "Infrastructure Condition Report - Outline" in Common Council File 091313).
Ms. Brengosz said that she wanted to include an introductory background section because it would include important information. She also said that she wanted to include a section detailing key issues and challenges.
Ms. Brengosz told the committee that this type of outline will be done for each particular infrastructure and that the outline is a work in progress. Ald. Dudzik said that he agreed that the outline would most likely be refined as the committee moves ahead.
Mr. Froh suggested including industry standards, particularly as they relate to traffic control and estimated useful life for materials from the perspective of the industry.
Mr. Nicolini suggested including commentary regarding how increased paving implies an increased budget for street lighting and conduits. Mr. Mantes agreed that there is a relationship between paving and street lighting, sewers and water. Mr. Nicolini said that the information will be important for budget planning and policy.
He also suggested including information regarding preservation and maintenance efforts that are funded through the Capital Budget. He said that an important consideration is any opportunities afforded by technology in the context of 3-5 year budget planning.
Mr. Daun said that the outline is very comprehensive. He also said that the key issues the report should address are: is there a deferred capital maintenance gap and if so, what is the plan to address that gap and what is the adequacy of the plan. He said that if these questions are addressed, the purpose of the report will be fulfilled. These three questions are fundamental to the report and should be supplemented with charts and graphs.
