Asset renewal is fully funded and takes place as scheduled.

The City of Germantown is responsible for significant physical assets including a utility system, streets, drainage system, fire stations, parks and other assets. The City believes that stewardship of City assets is essential to deliver high-quality services to its customers consistently and effectively. The City will review the Infrastructure Replacement Program (IRP) schedule on an annual basis to ensure assets are being replaced when their useful life exceeds value. This objective will be obtained as the City maintains an adequate fund balance and revenues over expenditures. This strategy ensures that assets will be replaced as indicated by the City’s IRP schedule.

The IRP program is being considered to become asset management program. Various types of software is being looked at to best fit the program needs. The asset management program has a 3-5 year timeline to be setup and implemented.

Impact

The City has a high ability to impact this measure.
