Municipal Responsibilities Roads Bridges (< 20-0 span) Parks Storm Water Facilities & Conveyance Police, Fire & Emergency Services Refuse & Recycling Land Use Regulations (impact above) 15. Infrastructure Costs Recent study in six (6) Lancaster municipalities Dedicated stormwater user fee Population range 7,365 to 37,768 Estimated annual cost $50,000 to $2,000,000 16. Municipal Resources 17. Optimize Your Budget Asset Management Inventory Condition Cost Assessment Regulatory Compliance Compliance costs and expenditures must align with the asset management 18. Cost Effective Decisions Blending Asset Management with Regulatory Compliance Limited budgets means dollars must be stretched Increasing responsibility means more tasks to be completed in a more efficient manner Timeliness of information Access to the information 19. Technology Creates Valuable Tools Making effective decisions Optimizing budgets Addressing infrastructure conditions Best utilized municipal resources 20. Geographic Information Systems Then Costly software and hardware Trained technicians Expensive initial base mapping Technology & Infrastructure Management 21. Geographic Information Systems Now Free online tools Data available online to supplement database Mobile and broad user access Minimal initial investment Technology & Infrastructure Management 22. Real Examples York County Bridge Inspection and Maintenance City of York MS4 Springfield Township Land Planning Dickinson Township Roadway Management System 23. York County 24. City of York 25. Springfield Township 26. Dickinson Township 27. Perspective Service: Average Cost Yearly: Cable Television $1,536 Water and Sewer $960 Cellular Phone $852 Telephone (land line) $360 Transportation Infrastructure (as paid by PA gas tax) $345* * Combined Federal and State gas tax $0.507 per gallon 15,000 miles per year 22 miles per gallon 28.
