I j Capital Needs. I Rehabilitation & Preservation of Existing Capital Assets As an asset ages, it requires preservation to protect or extend its useful life. If an asset is not preserved, it will deteriorate prematurely and its benefit to the community will be lost. In addition, recoristruction costs are frequently four to five times the cost of preservation and maintenance, particularly for street surfaces. As a result, the CIP reflects the broad direction of the City Council to preserve existing capital assets before they fall into such disrepair that ~ expensive rehabilitation or replacement is required. The City currently maintains a wide variety of capital assets (including municipal buildings, infrastructure, land, and equipment) and leased facilities. Examples of facilities maintained by the General Fund are: • Athletic fields, including softball, baseball & soccer fields • Bike paths • City Hall, including the downtown police station • Community & senior centers • Cuthbert Amphitheater ~ • Fire stations • Hult Center for the Performing. Arts • Jogging trails • Main and branch libraries • Neighborhood recreational facilities • Park equipment, fiunishings, picnic shelters, storage buildings, & restrooms • Park land and Ridgeline open space • Park office and maintenance complexes • Pedestrian bike bridges • Police/Fire training facilities • Police substations • Shelton-McMurphey House • Swimming pools • Tennis courts Dedicated Funds are used to maintain other facilities, including the following examples: • Airport • Atrium Building • Bike lanes and on-street bicycle routes • City offices used bynon-general fund staff • Parking garages ~ • Public Works maintenance facility • Public Works office building City of Eugene 2004 - 2009 Capital Improvement Program Page 8 _ _ _ _ _
