perpetual maintenance of all components of City-owned infrastructure will require a steady
commitment of funding.

As PUBLIC BUILDINGS age, they will require more and more maintenance. In order to
minimize emergency repairs and major failures, it is important to plan ahead to replace major
system components on a life-cycle basis. Emergency back-up power supplies need to be
installed at critical facilities throughout the City. Improvements will be made to aging facilities
which may include the Public Works Service Center, the Senior Center and the Fire Station
Annex. In response to state-mandated energy reduction goals, energy conservation programs
should be evaluated.

Continuation of the 15-year FLEET REPLACEMENT PROGRAM is critical to maintain overall
fleet health, reduce repair costs, and increase fleet availability rates. Additionally, Fleet
Services will continually evaluate needs to ensure appropriate and adequate equipment is in
place. Interdepartmental equipment sharing will be encouraged with the goal of reducing fleet
size. Evaluative measures will assess the costs and benefits of ownership versus short-term
rental of equipment.

A systematic program to inspect drainage system infrastructure will be implemented so that
deficiencies can be identified and long-term plans for major renewal and replacement of our
STORMWATER INFRASTRUCTURE can be developed. The Stormwater Master Plan will be
updated and the storm drainage fee structure will be reviewed and possibly revised to provide
funding for needed stormwater improvements. Utilizing the latest technology will ensure safe
and reliable operation of automated flood gates and flood warning systems.

Aging WATER and WASTEWATER INFRASTRUCTURE will continue to create additional
renewal and maintenance demands. Continual water cost increases dictate the city improve
upon efficiencies in delivering water. As technology improves in the area of meter reading, an
opportunity may present itself in more accurate systems to better tract water usage.
Development and implementation of a proactive water valve exercise program will ensure the
ability to manage a major water shut-off emergency. Capital projects identified in the 2014
Water and Wastewater Master Plan will be initiated based on funding availability.

Public awareness and education concerning the mission and functions of the department,
including infrastructure management and resource constraints, will be an ongoing priority of
the department throughout the upcoming years. Efforts to improve the accuracy of our GIS
datasets and utilizing this information in VUEWorks is critical in ensuring we know each asset
we own, where it is, what condition it is in, and what maintenance we’ve performed on it.
Opportunities to improve and document policies, procedures and practices will increase
effectiveness and organizational sustainability. Long-term planning is critical for the future
health of Colleyville’s infrastructure systems and continuation of essential service delivery and
completion of asset inventories and planning for condition assessments are key components
in this process. Public Works staff will continue to evaluate performance and activity measures
for accuracy and relevance, focusing on aligning measures with City Council’s identified
standards of Integrity, Commitment, Excellence, and Transparency. Additionally, training
needs will be identified and addressed to further develop a committed team to successfully
build and maintain the public infrastructure well into the future.
