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, particularly for street surfaces. As a result, the CIP reflects the broad direction of <br /> the City Council as set forth in the Financial Management Goals and Policies to preserve <br /> existing capital assets before they fall into such disrepair that expensive rehabilitation or <br /> replacement is required. i " <br /> City of Eugene 2006 - 2011 Capital Improvement Program <br /> <br /> ~ 4 ~ <br /> _ <br /> <br />
