The final course in this workshop series brings together the previous work into a five-year capital plan that can be taken to your community leaders. We recommend that anyone taking this course has completed training in risk assessment and level of service assessment (provided here in Course 2 and Course 3), as these will be critical elements of balancing the need for infrastructure replacement and service delivery goals.
​
The capital planning process will take your risk based infrastructure demand projections and undergo a process to align your scheduled projects with available infrastructure funding. We will discuss funding strategies to manage thenecessary revenue from taxes and rate setting. We will discuss how to present shortfalls in funding in terms of risk and level of service. Developing the plan will also consider your actual financial situation, including debt servicing requirements and reserve funding.
​
The outcome will be a five-year capital plan that proposes a project schedule that can be achieved with your current budgeting strategy, and identifies the impacts to risk to service delivery and levels of service based on the planned investment. We will also look at how to consider sustainable investment demands over longer periods (20 to 50 years) and how this can prevent unwanted large expenditures or service risks in the future.
​
Finally, we will help you prepare a presentation to take the plan to your council and engage them in the decision making process.
