Financial Impact:
There is no financial impact.
Background Information:
Infrastructure Condition is assessed every three to five years and reported annually under the requirements of the Government Accounting Standards Board Statement 34 (GASB34). The recommendations by the Department of Public Works set ideal goals to be achieved annually within the three categories of roads, bridges, and signs through the practice of routine maintenance.
The Infrastructure Condition Report is an annual report to the Board of Supervisors in compliance with this Statement and allows the County to determine the asset method used (depreciation or the modified approach). Historically, the County has used the modified approach. This streamlines the reporting process because it does not require additional work or data beyond our standard inventory and rating system.
The Board may choose not to accept the report and associated recommendation, in which case Public Works would submit a revised recommendation for the Board’s consideration. Alternately, the County would not be allowed to use the modified approach for reporting infrastructure assets and would be required to depreciate infrastructure assets. This would add additional data requirements as well as detailed depreciation calculations for the County’s roads, bridges, and signs.
The 2024/2025 assessment of County Road infrastructure assets are:
Roads: 40% at fair or better condition
Bridges: 92% at fair or better condition
Signs: 94% at fair or better condition
