EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
As with most Municipalities across Ontario, The Township of Cockburn Island has undertaken the
development of an Asset Management Plan in response to the Ontario Government's provincial capital
funding requirements. The purpose of this Asset Management Plan is to assist with prioritizing needs
over wants to ensure that infrastructure funding, whether generated through local or senior levels of
government, be applied to projects with the higher needs. This Asset Management Plan has been
structured to adhere to the requirement described in the Ontario Ministry of Infrastructure's Building
Together, Guide for Municipal Asset Management Plans.
As the following Asset Management Plan will outline, the Township's existing infrastructure is aging and
deteriorating while demand grows for better infrastructure facilities. This demand is in response to
higher standards of safety, accessibility, health, environmental protection, and regulations. The solution
to this issue is to examine the way the Municipality plans, designs and manages infrastructure to meet
changing demands. This Asset Management Plan is expected to assist:
Council in making service level and investment decisions;
Staff with the planning and management of the assets;
Taxpayers by sustaining value for the services provided.
As presented in this Asset Management Plan, the total replacement cost of the Municipality's assets was
calculated to be approximately $ 4.78 million (2013 Dollars), for assets providing transportation (ie
municipal dock and roads principally), waste disposal, administration, tourism and recreation. The
Municipality is not required to budget for the full replacement value of all these assets simultaneously,
as portions of assets only require an initial investment followed by further re-investment to maintain
acceptable levels of service.
With that in mind, it was calculated that the annual reinvestment should be an average of $ 61,000 per
year into various assets as they reach their maximum potential useful lives, in order to sustain existing
services at an appropriate level of service. A further reserve investment of $ 94,000 is recommended to
save for long-term replacement of assets. The actual investment value will vary from year to year
depending on the scope and size of the planned capital works. Projects will need to be shuffled from
year to year based on the availability of funding.
This plan addresses the replacement and planned expansion priorities of the Township, however it is
imperative that current maintenance activities be continued and expanded as recommended. The
ability for the Township to leverage its knowledge of infrastructure and by applying the best Asset

Management practices at the time will result in very positive improvements in infrastructure. A brief
summary of the sections contained within this report is presented as follows.
Section Two of the Township's Asset Management Plan provides an introduction to the assets included
in the plan as well as how the plan was developed and the goals of the Asset Management Plan. The
Third section summarizes the asset types and quantities as well as their characteristics, condition and
replacement values which were quantified by the Municipality's current asset inventory and for some
assets, supplemented with visual inspections.
Section Four outlines the expected levels of service for each asset, and provides an indication of the
minimum acceptable standards for an asset. Service levels were developed through consideration of
industry standards, generally accepted levels of operation and safety, as well as evaluating the risk
associated with achieving the targets levels established. Additionally, policy recommendations for
condition rating updates for each asset are presented.
The asset management strategy for each asset type is presented in Section Five along with potential
procurement methods to finance the strategy. The strategy and scheduling of asset renewal activities
has been laid out by establishing planned actions through options analysis and risk assessment to
maximize lifespan and minimize cost in a sustainable way. In addition, the priority assets for each
category are presented within this section.
The final section of the plan consists of the financial plan required to support the asset management
strategy by summarizing the cost per year, per asset to ensure sustainability of the asset. Comparisons
are made to past expenditures and funding sources to identify the funding gaps in the proposed plan.
Although this comprehensive Asset Management Plan has been created beginning in 2014, it is expected
to be a living document that is updated regularly as priority's shift or as work is completed. In addition,
improvements to the methodologies of data collection for developing more accurate inventory
information and evaluation will only serve to bolster the content of the plan. An Asset Management
Plan that is not adhered to or not updated will quickly become obsolete and be of absolutely no benefit
to the Municipality.

INTRODUCTION
This Asset Management Plan (AMP) was prepared by Tulloch Engineering Inc. (Tulloch) in cooperation
with the Township of Cockburn Island (Municipality) to meet the requirements of a Municipal Asset
Management Plan as presented by the Ontario Ministry of Infrastructure in their publication "Building
Together - Guide for Municipal Asset Management Plans" (2012)
The intention of the AMP is to provide answers and guidelines to the following questions.
1) What do you have and where is it?
2) What is it worth? (Current and Estimated Replacement Costs)
3) What is its condition and expected remaining service life?
4) What is the level of service expectation?
5) When do you need to do it?
6) How do you ensure long-term affordability?
Asset management planning is meant to aid municipalities is making cost effective decisions with
regards to operating, maintaining, renewing, replacing and disposing of their infrastructure assets. The
decisions and directions laid out in the asset management planning process are intended to ensure that
the Municipality will be capable of providing the levels of service needed to meet their desired plans,
goals and objectives.
The assets considered within this AMP are the following municipal assets:
Roads
Buildings
Vehicles
Equipment, and Fixtures;
Land & Land Improvements
Landfill;
Wharf/Marina
Each asset was divided into its respective category based type and was assessed for current state,
financial accounting valuation and replacement cost valuation. The condition of each of the assets was
assessed using sound and accepted methods.
This AMP has been developed to cover a ten (10) year window but is intended to be updated on a
regular basis as operating conditions and municipal goals change. A key aspect of this plan is the
ongoing evaluation of asset performance and value that will be required in future years. The
development of this plan involved continued communication between Tulloch and Municipal Staff. The

policies and strategies presented are based upon discussions with Municipal representatives and
accepted practices for the management of infrastructure assets.
This Asset Management Plan is a tool to help ensure that measures are taken to maintain an acceptable
performance level for years to come. The quality and condition of infrastructure assets are of great
importance as they help to support economic activity and improve general quality of life. This plan is
not intended to change the Municipality's existing processes and procedures with regards to their
infrastructure assets but rather improve the decision making process by using long range vision to
dictate resource allocation and use performance based analyses to determine if desired goals and
objectives are being met.
The Municipality's Capital Asset Summary information presents the inventory, current and projected
condition ratings, as well as known or projected replacement/rehabilitation costs on a per asset type
basis in a digital format.
This Asset Management Plan is based on capital improvements and does not account for maintenance
activities that are currently undertaken by the Municipality. The plan is not intended to replace
maintenance procedures and any reports prepared or practices undertaken should be continued to be
followed.

STATE OF LOCAL INFRASTRUCTURE
This Section of the report outlines the quantity and quality of assets owned and managed by the
Municipality. In addition, the current age, condition, financial valuation and replacement cost valuation
of the assets included is presented.
The two following figures provide a comparison of the Municipality's capital assets based on 2013 Public
Sector Accounting Board (PSAB) values and 2013 replacement values. The PSAB values are based on
currently accepted historical costs and depreciation values, which were extracted from the current
Municipal inventory presented as the Tangible Capital Asset Continuity Schedule (PSAB Inventory). The
2013 replacement values were generated based on the assets physical characteristics and benchmark
costs established from recent construction projects. The benchmark costs per asset type are presented
in the corresponding asset management spreadsheets in the Capital Asset Summary.

ROADS
The Municipality's road network consists of approximately 49.1km roads, all of which are gravel
surfaced. The roadway inventory and condition ratings were based on an extension of the 2013 Road
appraisals completed by Tulloch Engineering Inc.
3.1.1
METHOD OF CONDITION EVALUATION
Appraisal of the Municipality's local road system was carried out in the fall of 2013, in accordance with
procedures outlined in the MTO Methods and Inventory Manual by Tulloch Engineering Inc. The system
was divided into 30 road sections and a standard MTO Road Appraisal Sheet was completed for each
section. Each road section was identified and assigned a number, and then its location, length,
geometrics, roadside environment, and surface type were noted. Traffic volumes were also estimated.
The condition of each road section was assessed and improvement needs and associated costs were
then identified.
Each road section was been given a subjective condition rating from 1 to 10 based on current surface
condition, surface type and drainage conditions. Condition ratings greater than 5 are considered
acceptable and are expected to require only normal maintenance. A condition rating less than 5 is
considered unacceptable and a road improvement is to be evaluated for cost. The road condition for

each section is projected over ten years to forecast future work. This method of evaluating road surface
deterioration relies on estimating the life cycle of various road surfaces.
For the purposes of this study, the following assumptions were made for road deterioration rates:
Gravel Top Roads Condition rating, no reduction with regular maintenance;
The following is a measure of the condition of the existing road system as outlined in the Methods and
Inventory Manual:
Condition Rating

METHOD OF CONDITION EVALUATION
The Municipality's buildings were evaluated based on the inventory and information provided by the
Municipality within the Tangible Capital Asset Continuity Schedule. Each of the eighteen buildings were
reviewed by Tulloch and Municipal Staff and assigned an identification number, along with location,
dimensions and year of construction being noted. In addition, the buildings were divided into the
representative components with the dimensions and general condition of each component identified.
For components in need of improvement, the needs and associated timing were also reported.

Each building asset was given a subjective rating of Excellent, Good, Fair or Poor, based on the current
overall condition of the asset. A condition rating greater than Poor is considered acceptable and is
expected to require continued maintenance. A condition rating less than Poor is considered
unacceptable and an improvement or replacement is to be evaluated for cost. For the purpose of
forecasting, building assets were estimated to have varying lifespans between 25 and 75 years with an
average condition rating assigned based on age as follows.
Individual building components were subject to varying lifespans which can be reviewed in detail as
presented in the Capital Asset Summary.

That wherever feasible funds be found or set aside to preserve the Township's heritage buildings, most
notably the Community Hall, Church and School House which date back to the early years of the last
century not long after the municipality was incorporated in 1881. These buildings are still in use today
for various public purposes and stand as a reminder of the strength of the Township's founders and
the community's early citizens who believed strongly in the Cockburn Island as a place to live and raise
a family. Preserving these and other buildings serves to demonstrate our commitment as a community
and municipal government to the future by preserving our past.

METHOD OF CONDITION EVALUATION
The Municipality's equipment, land improvements, furniture & fixture assets were evaluated based on
the inventory and information provided by the Municipality. Each of the sixteen assets was assigned an
identification number, along with location, use and year of construction being noted.
Each asset was given a subjective rating of Excellent, Good, Fair or Poor, based on the lifespan of the
asset. A condition rating greater than Poor is considered acceptable and is expected to require
continued maintenance. A condition rating less than Poor is considered unacceptable and an
improvement or replacement is to be evaluated for cost. Assets were subject to varying lifespans which
can be reviewed in detail as presented in the Capital Asset Summary.

EXPECTED LEVELS OF SERVICE
Levels of Service are statements of performance criteria which provide an indication of the minimum
acceptable standard for an asset.
Desired levels of service within the Municipality were developed in consultation with the Municipal staff
and through consideration of a number of documents and industry recognized standards to meet
generally accepted levels of operation and safety. The target levels of service should be reviewed on a
regular basis to determine if they are appropriate, and achievable. Consideration should be given to
risk, and cost in the development of target levels of service.
4.1
RISK ASSESSMENT
All assets carry a level of risk for their users. Generally when conducting a risk assessment, two key
factors that come into consideration are frequency of use and cost of improvement. Acceptable levels
of risk may vary depending on the frequency of use. For example, if a rarely used asset and a frequently
used asset do not meet today's minimum standards, the risk is higher for the frequently used asset and
therefore, rehabilitation of this asset should be prioritized ahead of a rarely used substandard asset.
It is desirable to limit risk by replacing/improving the condition of all assets to meet today's minimum
standards; however, the cost of doing so is not always feasible. The Municipality attempts to achieve a
manageable
level
of
risk
by
completion
of

and

4.2
PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT
To optimize an Asset Management Plan and ensure target levels of service are appropriate,
performance measures or indicators are established and should be reviewed on a regular basis.
Performance measurement of the assets will provide an indication as to whether the rehabilitation and
replacement strategies are effective or whether changes need to be made. Performance benchmarks
for the various asset groups are described in the following sections.
4.3
ROADS
The Municipality has established a target level of service for roads by classifying road segments based on
their surface type and estimated traffic volume. The municipal road network has been evaluated by
Tulloch Engineering Inc. through completion of road appraisals in the summer of 2013. In this
evaluation, all road segments have been rated using the MTO Road Appraisal forms. The rating system
Municipality of Cockburn Island
Asset Management Plan
December 2013
P a g e | 24
utilized consists of a number 1 through 10 (where 10 represents a road in excellent or new condition,
and a rating of 5 or less corresponding to poor condition).
The desired level of service for Municipal roads is to maintain an average weighted condition rating of
5.0 for the entire road network. The goal of this level of service is to develop and maintain uniformity
for users of the road network and to ensure that roads meet the minimum standards across the
Municipality.
The following strategies have been incorporated to achieve the target, however, as a general rule, when
a roadway reaches a condition rating of less than 5.0, it is scheduled for improvement.
1. Improvements to Poor condition roads (condition rating of less than 5);
2. Widening of critically substandard width roads;
3. Improvements to roads with other critical needs (eg. Grade raise of road in flood plain);
4. Remaining improvements generally prioritized on the basis of condition rating;
These improvements and repairs are incorporated into the road condition inventory spreadsheets which
project the condition of road segments over the next 10 years.
The performance of the road network should be evaluated by completing condition assessments on a
biennial basis; the actual condition ratings collected in 2019 should be compared to the projected
ratings to determine whether or not the target level of service is being achieved. Adjustments to the
plan should be made as necessary either by increasing the annual budget for road improvements, or by
revising the target level of service.

4.4
BUILDINGS
The overall condition of a building is evaluated by completing visual inspections which provide detailed
condition ratings of all the components of each structure. The condition of the various components is
described by one of four rating as being Excellent, Good, Fair or Poor.
In general, components of a building are recommended for rehabilitation or repair once a large
percentage reaches a condition of 'Poor'. If a number of components are rated poor, the structure is
typically recommended for a major rehabilitation or replacement.
The target level of service for Municipal buildings is to maintain all buildings such that they do not
restrict access or intended use. This should be achieved by continuing to complete rehabilitation and
repair recommendations outlined during inspections within the suggested timeframes.
Achievement of the levels of service for the buildings can easily be determined by reviewing the
performance of the existing infrastructure, i.e. is the building serving its intended purpose without
restrictions? The Municipality does not currently keep records of the number of building service
interruptions; however a policy should be implemented as part of the new asset management strategy.
Confirming achievement of this level of service will require the Municipality to keep records and review
them on an annual basis as a minimum.
4.5
LAND
Municipal land supports the recreational and leisure needs of both the residents of the Municipality and
the large volume of tourists and seasonal residents. The desired level of service for the municipal land
includes having a clean, safe space for all residents to make use of.
The most appropriate method of confirming the adequacy and user satisfaction/dissatisfaction with
these facilities is through regular inspections. The inspections could be supplemented by user surveys
for the residents of the Municipality on an annual basis. Results of the surveys can be reviewed and
considered for future planning purposes. Alternatively, the number of complaints received could be
monitored with a target set for the maximum permissible.
Achievement of the desired levels of service for the land can easily be determined by reviewing the

VEHICLES
The overall condition of a vehicle is based on its age and useful lifespan and was described by one of five
rating as being Excellent, Good, Fair, Poor or Replace as defined below.
Excellent Component age is less than 5 years old;
Good Component age is less than half of its life expectancy;
Fair Component age is greater than ½ of its life expectancy;
Poor Component age is greater than ¾ of its life expectancy;
Replace Component age is beyond its life expectancy;
The target level of service for Municipal vehicles is to maintain all vehicles such that they are in good
repair with few breakdowns. This should be achieved by continuing to complete regular maintenance
and repair recommendations as may be outlined during regular inspections completed during
maintenance servicing. All vehicles with recommended maintenance schedules as part of the
manufacturer's warranty service should follow the schedules as described.
Achievement of the levels of service for vehicles can easily be determined by reviewing the performance
of the existing vehicle, i.e. is the vehicle operating for its intended purpose without interruption? The
Municipality does not currently keep records of the amount of down time for vehicles, however a policy
should be implemented to do so including recording the scheduled maintenance intervals as part of the
new asset management strategy. Confirming achievement of this level of service will require the
Municipality to keep records and review them on an annual basis as a minimum.

ASSET MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
5.1
PLANNED ACTIONS & OPTION ANALYSIS
As referenced in the Guide, "the asset strategy is the set of planned actions that will enable the assets to
provide the desired levels of service in a sustainable way." All assets have a limited life expectancy and
to some degree the rate of deterioration can be estimated. A decision made at any point in time in the
lifecycle of an asset has an effect on the remaining life and may have operational implications and
related costs.
The following sections will summarize the planned actions and option analysis for each asset type to
maximize lifespan and minimize costs, in a sustainable way.
5.1.1
ROADS
Roads require regular roadside maintenance activities such as ditching and brushing to ensure adequate
drainage of the road subgrade. Poor subgrade drainage will lead to premature deterioration of the road
base which will directly impact the deterioration of the surface.
The following maintenance practices should be employed on a regular basis to help prolong the lifespan
of roadway assets. The quantities provided are intended to be used as guideline:
Right-of-way brushing;
5000m Ditch Cleanout annually;
Culvert cleanout/flushing;
The completion of capital projects will depend on the availability of government funding.

5.1.2
BUILDINGS
As with all assets, buildings require regular maintenance activities such as cleaning and landscaping to
maintain proper functioning of the asset. Renewal and rehabilitation activities of buildings should be
carried out in accordance with the inspection recommendations. These activities were evaluated
against options and longevity such as brick facing against vinyl siding, or steel roofing against shingles.
Replacement activities are generally considered once maintenance, renewal and rehabilitation activities
are no longer feasible or economical to undertake. As can be seen in the Capital Asset Summary, when
replacement is considered, the replacement asset does not need to be identical to the existing asset,
such as replacing windows and doors with more energy efficient ones. Increase in level of service
should always be considered at time of replacement.
In addition, integrated infrastructure planning was considered, as reflected in the Capital Asset
Summary. The replacement of windows and doors was scheduled for the same time, or in advance of
the siding replacement which would result in cost savings and greater flexibility in the assets selected for
replacement.
5.1.3
LAND
Land, like all other assets require regular maintenance activities such as trimming, cleaning and
landscaping to maintain proper functioning of the asset. Replacement activities are generally not
completed on land assets, however major improvements to upgrade the land are considered as capital
projects. No works are planned for land assets at this time.
5.1.4
VEHICLES
Vehicles require regular maintenance activities such as engine, transmission and break system servicing
in accordance with the manufactures operating manuals to minimize potential for breakdowns. In
addition, failing to complete these maintenance intervals could void the manufacturer warranty in the
event there is a concern.
Major rehabilitation of most vehicles will not significantly extend the useful life. Due to the nature of
the Municipal operations associated with the vehicles, the asset is treated similar to a rolling stock that
is disposed of at the end of its useful lifecycle and replaced with a new or used asset. The replacement
asset selected would likely be an upgrade to disposed asset as over the course of the disposed assets
lifecycle, improvements in technology and efficiency would have been made.

EQUIPMENT, LAND IMPROVEMENTS, FURNITURE & FIXTURES
Equipment, land improvements, furniture and fixture assets also require regular maintenance activities
such as servicing in accordance with the manufactures operating manuals to minimize potential for
breakdowns. In addition, failing to complete these maintenance intervals could void the manufacturer
warranty in the event there is a concern.
Major rehabilitation of most machinery, equipment, furniture and fixtures will not significantly extend
the useful life. Due to the nature of the Municipal operations associated with these assets, the asset is
treated similar to a rolling stock that is disposed of at the end of its useful lifecycle and replaced with a
new asset. The replacement asset selected would likely be an upgrade to disposed asset as over the
course of the disposed assets lifecycle, improvements in technology and efficiency would have been
made.
5.1.6
LANDFILL
Operation and maintenance strategy will continue in accordance with the MOE rules and regulations.
5.1.7
WHARF/MARINA
The Wharf/Marina, like all other assets require regular maintenance activities such as cleaning, dock
repair, and landscaping to maintain proper functioning of the various components. Renewal and
rehabilitation activities of Wharf/Marina should be carried out in accordance with the inspection
recommendations. Based on funding opportunities, the steel sheet pile retaining wall is scheduled for
replacement/completion.
Replacement activities are generally considered once maintenance, renewal and rehabilitation activities
are no longer feasible or economical to undertake. As can be seen the Capital Asset Summary, when
replacement is considered, the replacement asset does not need to be identical to the existing asset, an
increase in the level of service should always be considered at time of replacement.

5.2
RISK ASSESSMENT
All assets carry a level of risk for the Municipality. The options above were evaluated based on the
lifecycle costs and benefits, as well as the potential risks. Due to the uncertainty in assigning a
reasonable estimate of probability and cost associated with a risk event, a qualitative approach was
applied to the management plan of the assets.
The scheduling of asset improvements took into consideration the risk associated with the volume of
use that the assets received. Acceptable levels of risk will vary depending on their frequency of use.
5.3
PROCUREMENT METHODS
The Municipality currently has procurement by-laws in place for use when considering various projects;
however, additional investigations and discussions could be undertaken to pool resources with
neighboring municipalities when possible. The creation of an amalgamated tender would allow for a
higher volume of service by a supplier, which would reduce the overall cost per municipality. This
approach would be applicable to purchasing of supplies, vehicles, and equipment.
5.4
SCHEDULE OF PRIORITIES
This Asset Management Plan identifies the schedule of projects based on asset type for the next ten
years. Options were considered for each type of asset as outlined above, with the options being
evaluated for risk and lifecycle costs.
The following is a schedule of priorities by asset type as presented in the Capital Asset Summary.

FINANCING STRATEGY
Establishment of a financial plan is critical to the successful implementation of an asset management
plan. The following section will summarize the Municipal expenditures over the past three years and
will detail the financial commitment required in order to keep the Municipal infrastructure at acceptable
levels of service.
In conjunction with developing the Asset Management Plan, the replacement cost of all the
Municipality's assets was estimated. Replacement costs for linear assets were generated through use of
local competitive bid construction costs for projects of similar scope and size. Replacement costs for
non-linear assets such as buildings, land, vehicles, and equipment were estimated using recent purchase
prices and construction costs for major components (buildings).
As presented previously (Figure 2), the total replacement cost of the Municipality's assets was calculated
to be approximately $ 4.72 million dollars (2013 Dollars). The Municipality is not required to budget for
the full replacement value of all its assets, as portions of assets only require an initial investment
followed by further re-investment to maintain acceptable levels of service.
It was also calculated that the annual reinvestment should be an average of $ 61,000 per year into
various assets as they reach their maximum potential useful lives, in order to sustain existing services at
an appropriate level of service. It is recommended that an additional $ 95,000 thousand per year be put
aside into a reserve fund for long term planning purposes, beyond the 10-year plan.
The Municipality has not made any large capital investments in roads over the past three years except
for roads maintenance equipment such as a grader, tractor-driven roadside brush hog, large wood
chipper to complement roadside brushing and a back-hoe. A program of gravel resurfacing continues
each season.
As reported in the Township's FIR, debt levels are modest to non-existent (seasonal line of credit only if
required depending upon cash flow timing - no long term debt at the present). It is feasible for the
Township to invest $60,000 to $100,000 per year to maintain its assets in accordance with the AMP. This
is based upon, among other things;
1. annual tax rate increases at 1% above prior year inflation,
2. an indefinite commitment made by NCC being honoured to pay a support grant to replace tax
revenue lost when Residential lands are reassessed as Managed Forest lands (assessment cut to
25%)
3. OMPF block funding formulae remaining stable and predictable

Using the historic data as a base model for future financial planning purposes, the table below outlines a
forecast of the required annual expenditures into Municipal infrastructure for the 10-year period of
2014 through 2023 as well as the anticipated shortfall in required spending for all infrastructures
included in this plan.

The expected funding shortfall is quite significant; however, the magnitude of this shortfall is
exaggerated by the inclusion of the recommended reserve savings. Saving into a reserve fund is one
method of financial planning however many Municipalities take the strategy of debentures and
financing projects over their useful life. The actual finance strategy will not only vary from year to year
but may vary from one asset project to another.
It should be noted that the values presented in this section of the report does not account for inflation
rate over the next 10 years. The following sections present a more detailed breakdown of the required
reinvestment for each of the asset groups included in this comprehensive asset management plan.
6.1
ROADS
Reinvestment in the Municipality's roads is a required expenditure to maintain an acceptable average
condition rating for the entire road network. Required reinvestment levels were calculated to be an
average of $ 10,000 per year to resurface and reconstruct road infrastructure.
Over the past three years, the Municipality has not invested in major capital roads projects. Using the
historic data as a base model for future financial planning purposes, the table below outlines a forecast
of the required annual expenditures into road infrastructure for the 10-year period of 2014 through
2023 as well as the anticipated shortfall in required spending for this asset type.

Total Recommended Investment - including reserves (2014) $ 3,480.00 /year
Expected Shortfall (2014) $ 3,480.00 /year
A commitment by the Municipality to contribute the required reinvestment into road infrastructure
projects will ensure that the road network remains at the established level of service. Failure to make
an annual contribution will result in the road network quickly deteriorating below the acceptable level of
service.
6.2
BUILDINGS
Reinvestment in the Municipality's buildings is a required expenditure to maintain their structural
integrity for the future as well as ensure the comfort of their users. Building assets support services
such as recreation and culture, protection (fire) and also support many administrative functions that are
required to provide services. It was calculated that the Municipality should be reinvesting an average of
$ 5,010.00 per year to rehabilitate, repair, and replace various building components. It is recommended
that an additional $ 15,322.26 per year be put aside into a reserve fund for long term planning purposes,
beyond the 10-year plan.
Over the past three years, the Municipality has not invested into capital projects related to building
infrastructure. Using the historic data as a base model for future financial planning purposes, the table
below outlines a forecast of the required annual expenditures into Building infrastructure for the 10-
year period of 2014 through 2023 as well as the anticipated shortfall in required spending for this asset
type.

MUNICIPAL VEHICLES
Reinvestment in the Municipality's fleet of vehicles is required to maintain an acceptable fleet average
age. It was calculated that the Municipality should be reinvesting an average of $ 2,700.00 per year to
repair, and replace vehicles. It is recommended that an additional $ 3,080.00 per year be put aside into
a reserve fund for long term planning purposes, beyond the 10-year plan.
Over the past three years, the Municipality has not invested into municipal fleet vehicles. Using the
historic data as a base model for future financial planning purposes, the table below outlines a forecast
of the required annual expenditures into fleet vehicles for the 10-year period of 2014 through 2023 as
well as the anticipated shortfall in required spending for this asset type.

CLOSURE
This comprehensive asset management plan will require on-going updates, and improvements to the
methodologies of data collection for developing more accurate inventory information. The ability for
the Municipality to leverage its knowledge of infrastructure and by applying the best Asset Management
practices at the time will result in very positive improvements in municipal infrastructure. This
document will also provide the means to effectively apply for external funding opportunities as they
may become available.
The Municipality has significant backlog of projects, the implementation of this plan will require the
Municipality to find additional funds from various sources. Continued contribution of municipal funds,
as well as contributions from Government grants into capital projects will help ensure the sustainability
of the Municipality's infrastructure assets for years to come.
