Summary • A smaller region for a long time • Declining demand • Loss of buying power and revenue base • Redefine success • not focusing on growth but right sizing • wise investment in infrastructure • building desirable communities • improving quality of life

How does changing demand affect revenue requirements? Rule of thumb: Because of high fixed cost • If water use declines 5% • Revenue needs increase 4% Source: The Foster Group
Big Picture Questions • Demand declines • Rates are increased to compensate for revenue shortfalls • Rate increases result in further erosion of demand • Need to increase rates again • How do we break the cycle?
Big Picture Questions • Large infusions of capital needed to maintain aging infrastructure • Some of that infrastructure is underutilized, and • Needs far exceed funds available • How do we decide what to fund?
Big Picture Questions • Suppose other providers of infrastructure face similar dilemmas • How do we assure solutions of various service providers fit together?
Rouge River Combined Sewer Overflow TunnelCase Example 2 Project to reduce sewer overflows/protect water 200 million gallon storage tunnel Capital cost about $880 million Expected performance: reduce overflows to 1 per year
Rouge River Policy Issues Fiscal impact on rate payers % of household income dedicated to water service Long-term debt service coverage Project deferred & contract canceled Alternative designs being explored
Big Picture Questions • How much could be saved if we changed the expected performance? • Would the different environmental impact be significant? • Who decides? • What is (should be) the basis of the decision?
Big Picture Questions • How will this decision affect funding available for other infrastructure needs? • Should that matter? • Can we be more efficient and cost effective without more collaboration? • Can we be more efficient and cost effective w/o putting expectations of service on the table?
Cost of Insufficient InvestmentSE Michigan, 2004-2008 = $1.35 billion $2.35 billion $996 million Source: SEMCOG PASER Data, January 2009
Big Picture Issues • Transportation needs far exceed existing revenue • Gas Tax funds highway and transit improvements • We are using fewer gallons of gas • Public policy is to use even fewer gallons of gas in the future
Questions • How do we fund transportation in the future? • If we don’t get significant funding increase, do we • Prioritize among many needed projects • Lower standards • Combination • How do we fund transit increases
Charting Actions Towards Sustainable Infrastructure Adaptation Change
Common Denominators Declining demand Changing standards High fixed costs Rigid standards Aging infrastructure Expectations Disjointed solutions Faulty revenue design Loss of revenue base
Next Meeting Proposed Agenda • Task Force Member Presentations • Structure of Financing • Water, sewer, roads, etc. • Identification and Discussion of Policy Issues • Fiscal and Physical • Next meeting date • Friday, November 13th 9:00 am – noon
