What We re Covering Today The Basics Infrastructure, Asset Management, and Planning The Benefits Prioritize Investments Coordination Adds Value Maintain and Increase Assets Bay City Examples
Infrastructure Infrastructure includes the basic physical systems and facilities necessary for a community to function and thrive. It includes fundamental public and private systems that are vital to a community s development and prosperity.
Infrastructure Transportation Roads, pedestrian facilities, railways, airports, ports Utilities Electrical grid, gas storage and distribution, water supply systems and stormwater, sanitation, telecommunications Natural and Recreational Assets Parks, watershed controls, agricultural/food systems Community Facilities Municipal offices, schools, police and fire stations, community centers
Infrastructure The basic building blocks of our communities. The quality of the community facilities directly reflects the quality of life that the community can provide. Public investment in capital facilities has a significant impact on future development projects: Size Location Timing

Capital Improvement Plan MAP states that a CIP is the result of the preparation and updating of a plan listing all new major public facilities to be built, substantially remodeled, or purchased in a community within the foreseeable future. Capital improvements (also called public improvements ) are all major physical facility projects over and above annual operating expenses. A CIP establishes a schedule, or program, for each capital improvement project according to its priority in the community.
Capital Improvement Plan Required in the Planning Enabling Act for Cities, Villages and Townships with their own utilities. Prepared By the PC after adoption of a Master Plan Annually projecting out 6 years. Input provided from each department or agency responsible for structures or improvements: lists, plans, and estimates of time and cost
Asset Management Catalog of all municipal assets (infrastructure). Understand the age and status of all assets. Understand when the optimum time for updates or replacement should take place in order to be most efficient and cost effective.
Asset Management Investment for each asset can be optimized Allows for prioritization of projects Allows for coordination of projects
The Master Plan Comprehensive plan The quality of the community facilities in the community directly reflects the quality of life that the community can provide. In addition to identifying land use and character, the Master Plan must identify the necessary infrastructure to support those uses.
The Master Plan Sewer and water district Public services Road improvements Sidewalks and pathways Parks and recreation facilities
The Master Plan The tool to bring it all together Prioritization Health and safety Visible project
