Fiscal Year 2013-2015 Special Budget Meeting

RESOLVED: That the City Council establishes that the criteria used to prioritize the City of Oakland's Public Infrastructure Projects by type shall be as follows: Infrastructure Type Facilities and Structures (Capital Maintenance Projects) Prioritization Method Prioritize calls for service from high to low using the following factors: High o Life safety issues, including liability exposure o Mandated service o Hazardous situations o Security breaches o Preventive maintenance of emergency response systems Medium o Scheduled preventive maintenance projects Low o Deferred maintenance projects Parks (Park Facilities) and Open Space Apply the Open Space Conservation and Recreation (OSCAR) Element of the Oakland General Plan. OSCAR states that in order to reduce deficiencies in parks and recreational facilities resulting from decline and deferred maintenance, outdated facilities, and factors such as vandalism and safety, the focus should be on maintenance, rehabilitation and safety improvements. This is cited as currently the highest priority since it protects public investment and maximizes the effective delivery of park services. (Objective REC-3.) Criteria to prioritize future infrastructure needs related to parks and open space are: o Projects that resolve existing health and safety issues, including liability exposure. o Projects that replace existing deteriorated facilities, fields, tot lots, etc. o Projects that leverage existing improvements that are already funded, or in design or construction, particularly those that are approved by Citywide vote. o Projects that are partially funded and suitable for grant-funding opportunities. o Projects that increase access to existing parks for school children. As funding is available, there will be an equitable distribution of these funds for both maintenance and repair of existing facilities, as well as for new construction. Sanitary Sewers Use the Infiltration and Inflow (I/I) Correction Program that has established a 25-year program to rehabilitate 30% of the sewer system sub-basins based on greatest to least infiltration and inflow of rainwater problems. The program includes a year-by- year prioritization of projects and is expected to be completed F - 2
