2022 Belleville Asset Management Plan (AMP)

The AMP describes the replacement value, physical condition, and relative age of the City’s asset portfolio, organized by asset category. The assets that the City owns have a total replacement value of approximately $2.3 billion, as shown graphically below, organized by asset category.

Belleville’s assets are in ‘good’ condition

The City’s assets are in GOOD condition, with over 77.8% percent of the City’s assets in fair or better condition, which is referred to as a “state of good repair”:

Average infrastructure gap of $55.2M per year

Approximately $234.7 million worth of the City’s assets, or 10.1% of the portfolio’s value, are shown in poor or extremely poor physical condition and are approaching “end of life”.

To maintain the current level of service will cost the City $110.4M per year, which indicates an infrastructure gap of $55.2M per year or or a Funding Ratio of 0.5.

To bridge the gap, the options are:

• Increasing revenue (raising property taxes)
• Accepting increased risk
• Accepting lower level of service
