If an asset is not <br /> preserved, it will deteriorate prematurely and its benefit to the. community will be lost. In <br /> addition, reconstruction costs are frequently four to five times the cost of preservation and <br /> maintenance. As a result, the CIP reflects the broad direction of the City Council to preserve <br /> existing capital assets before they fall into such disrepair that expensive rehabilitation or <br /> replacement is required. <br /> City of Eugene 2004 -2009 Capital Improvement Program <br /> Page 2 <br /> r <br /> <br />
