6. Business Matters
6.1 General Fund Long-Term Financial Plan
Mr. Fudge stated that the long-term financial plan must be reviewed at least annually to adjust for changes
in assumptions driven by economic factors, financial factors, or service level changes. An updated version
of the plan will be provided to the Finance Committee by year-end for review. Feedback is being sought
with respect to setting key goals and targets that will be critical inputs used in the updated plan.
The updated financial targets and principles include maintaining the tax reduction goal of 1.57 by 2032;
reducing the infrastructure deficit by 25% over 10 years; maintaining target pay-as-you-go (capital from
operating) budget by $1M per year; modifying the wage escalation policy to align wages and benefits with
increases to overall reoccurring revenue growth; continuing to reduce debt balance by 25% over 10 years;
and continuing to increase contributions to capital reserves by 10% per year. The Committee provided
input on each of the targets for consideration into the long-term financial plan.
Moved by Councillor Radwan, seconded by Mayor Noade Reardon:
RESOLVED that as recommended in the submitted presentation Long-Term Financial Plan Targets and
Principles, the Finance Committee direct staff to continue with current Financial Principles and Targets
embedded in the Long-Term Financial Plan as part of the updated plan.
MOTION CARRIED.
6.2 Grant to Saint John Theatre Company
Referring to the submitted report, Mr. Fudge stated that the Finance Department reviewed the
recommendation from the Growth Committee with respect to awarding the Saint John Theatre Company
(SJTC) a grant for $814,000 to support the courthouse project to be funded with $414,000 from Discover
Saint John reserve funds and pre-approving $100,000 over the next 4 budget years (2023, 2024, 2025,
2026) from the General Operating Budget.
Upon review, the Finance Department is providing the following observations:
The SJTC grant does not generate incremental property tax revenue (theatre will be exempt from
municipal and provincial property tax) and taxpayers will not obtain a financial return or payback
on its investment;
Common Council should approve a policy with criteria for the use of DSJ reserve funds to support
the evaluation of the grant request from the SJTC;
Pre-approving future operating budgets (4 years) is not a recommended practice due to future
uncertainties;
Given the large financial commitment, the City should request SJTC submit a business plan to
conduct due diligence to protect its investment;
The assumptions in the Economic Impact Assessment (EIA) require further vetting;
Finance Committee Meeting
Open Session
July 15th, 2022
Province is the primary recipient of direct and indirect economic benefits based on the review of
the EIA; and,
The accommodation levy should be explored as a future grant funding source.
Moved by Mayor Noade Reardon, seconded by Councillor Radwan:
RESOLVED that as recommended in the submitted report Grant to Saint John Theatre Company the
Finance Committee makes the following recommendation:
1. Finance Committee recommends Common Council approve evaluation criteria in a policy for the use of
Discover Saint John (DSJ) reserve funds and the Saint John Theatre Company (SJTC) grant request be re-
evaluated based on Council approved criteria.
2. Given the significant financial request, the Finance Committee recommends SJTC submit a business
plan as part of the evaluation process to allow the City to conduct due diligence to protect any City
investment.
3. Finance Committee recommends that requests for grants funded by the General Operating Budget in
the years 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026 be referred to the budget process in those years.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that members of the Finance Committee:
Endorsethe pre-approval of the proposed 2023 Capital projects noted in
Appendix A & B attachedto the Finance Committee Report dated August
19, 2022 and titled Pre-approval of Bilateral and DMAF Funded 2023
Capital Program Projects, and
Recommend the pre-approval ofthe proposed 2023 Capital projectsat the
next meeting of Councilas noted in AppendixA & B attached to the Finance
Committee Report dated August 19, 2022 andtitled Pre-approval of
Bilateral and DMAF Funded 2023 Capital Program Projects.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff are requesting Council pre-approve the capital budgets for these funded
projects (See Appendix A & B) tostart the design process as soon as possible for
proposed 2023 Capital Program projectsthat have approved Bilateral and Disaster
Mitigation and Adaptation Funding (DMAF).
Pre-approvingthese projects will allow Request for Proposals to be prepared and
sent out for the Bilateral funded projects. For the DMAF funded projects, the
consultantwill be able to start design right away as theconsultanthas already
been awarded the design and construction management services contractby
Council forthese projects.
- 2 -
It is expected, by Council preapproving these projects, design services will be able
to begin sooner therefore allowing the project to be issued for tender earlier with
the intent of securing more competitive bids from contractors.
PREVIOUS RESOLUTIONS
October 21, 2019: (M&C 2019-266) Disaster Mitigation and Adaptation Funding
Agreement, adopted.
April 6, 2021: (M&C 2021-102) Saint John Green Infrastructure Funding
Agreement, approved.
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
Bilateral funded projects include reconstructing city streets that are currently in
poor condition with City and Other Share funding. The designs of the overall
projects will incorporate recommendations from the Council approved Central
Peninsula Secondary Plan as well as MoveSJ.
This report also ty for GREEN as the DMAF funding
includes projects to address flood proofing modifications or complete
replacement of vulnerable sanitary lift stations.
REPORT
The City of Saint John obtained Bilateral funding and DMAF funding for
infrastructure renewal projects (i.e., water, sanitary, storm, and roadway
reconstruction) as well as funding to address infrastructure vulnerable due to
climate change and as identified as part of our Climate Adaptation Plan.
Staff are requesting Council pre-approve the capital budgets for the Bilateral and
DMAF funded projects to start the design process as soon as possible for the
funded projects which are proposed to be constructed in 2023. The list of
proposed projects with their overall budgets are noted in Appendix A & B as
attached. Early approval of these projects will allow staff to start the request for
proposal process (RFP) right away so that design work on these projects can begin
early this fall. By the City completing the design and tender documents early it will
allow the projects to be tendered earlier in 2023 therefore allowing the City to
obtain more competitive bids from contractors.
A consultant has already been awarded the design and construction management
work for all the DMAF funded projects therefore they will be able to start design
work right away.
- 3 -
DMAF Funded Projects
DMAF funding was obtained by the City and approved by Council in October 2019.
The funding is for flood proofing modifications or complete replacement of
vulnerable sanitary lift stations which by nature are constructed in low lying areas.
A total of nine lift stations were identified as being vulnerable to rising water levels
because of climate change.
Three lift station projects are proposed to be approved in the draft 2023 Utility
Fund Capital Program. The projects are:
Retrofit Lift station above flood levels. Design and
construction.
WWPS Tippet Drive - Retrofit Lift station above flood levels. Design and
construction.
WWPS Millidge Ave - Retrofit Lift station above flood levels. Design
services in 2023 only.
Bilateral Fund Projects
Bilateral funding was obtained by the City and approved by Council in April 2021.
The Bilateral funding focuses on climate change, tax base growth and
infrastructure renewal. The Bilateral
assets, improve environmental performance and importantly, support growth of
the urban core and priority growth areas, making these areas more sustainable
and attractive to development.
Seven projects are proposed to be approved in the draft 2023 Capital Programs.
The projects are:
Broad Street (Charlotte Street to Carmarthen Street) Water, Sanitary and
Storm Sewer Renewal and Street Reconstruction.
Carmarthen Street (Mecklenburg Street to Orange Street) Water,
Sanitary and Storm Sewer Renewal and Street Reconstruction.
Pitt Street (Mecklenburg Street to St. James Street) Water, Sanitary and
Storm Sewer Renewal and Street Reconstruction.
Sydney Street (St. James Street to Queen Square North) Water, Sanitary
and Storm Sewer Renewal and Street Reconstruction.
Waterloo Street (Union Street to Peters Street) Water, Sanitary and
Storm Sewer Renewal and Street Reconstruction.
Charlotte Street (King Square South to Union Street) Storm Sewer
Separation and Street Reconstruction).
Germain Street (Duke Street to King Street) Storm Sewer Separation

SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES
Engineering fees to cover the costs of design and construction management
services generally do not exceed 15-20% of the total overall project cost,
depending on the nature of the project and the engineering services required.
The overall budget (Utility and General Funds) for the 10 projects noted above is
$8,149,500. Based on this overall budget it is anticipated that engineering design
and construction management services for the ten projects is expected to be
between $1.2 and $1.6 million dollars. A consultant has already been awarded the
design and construction management services contract by Council for all the
DMAF funded projects therefore their design and construction management fees
are known.
Additional City Share funding was added to the proposed projects on top of the
allocation within the Bilateral and DMAF agreements to attempt to
address the increased pricing the City is seeing with recent higher than estimated
tender results. The increased pricing is believed to be largely due to the significant
amount of work available for contractors to bid, the increased cost of fuel, issues
with the supply chain due to market demand and overall inflationary increases.
INPUT FROM OTHER SERVICE AREAS AND STAKEHOLDERS
Strategic Services has reviewed the report and provided input.

REPORT
Background
Since 2016, the City of Saint John has been implementing a corporate-wide asset
management program, to support the sustainable delivery of municipal services.
In 2016, the City published its first inaugural Sate of the Infrastructure (SOTI)
report to communicate the current state of the infrastructure. The SOTI report
was then updated in 2018 after significant improvements to the quality and
reliability of asset data. The 2022 SOTI report is the third iteration and
demonstrates the cto
Council and the Public on working to improve the SOTI.
Purpose of the SOTI
The purpose of the State of the Infrastructure (SOTI) Report is to communicate
the state of repair of the c
public services. The report contains several key indicators that allow the
comparison of infrastructure repair across and within different service areas and
over time when the SOTI report is produced in the future. The report also presents
the sustainable funding requirement, future investments needed to maintain
existing infrastructure.
The SOTI Report helps answer six key asset management questions:
What do we own?
What is it worth?
What condition is it in?
What do we need to do to it?
When do we need to do it?
How much money do we need?
Results
The following are the overall results summary of the 2022 SOTI Report:
The total replacement value of the city assets is $3.6 billion, equal to
approximately $112,500 per household

The infrastructure deficit of the city assets is $346 million: $99 million for
the General Fund and $247 million for Saint John Water
fair or better condition. However, 15%
($547 million) of assets are in a poor or worse condition and will likely
require major renewal in the short-term.
moderate or better risk of failure due to
deterioration. However, 5% ($170 million) of assets are in an extreme risk
category and should be investigated immediately.
The average annual capital expenditures needed to maintain existing
assets and eliminate the infrastructure deficit over a 20-year period is
$25.4 million per year for the General Fund and $26.8 million per year for
Saint John Water.
- letter grade for the current state of
infrastructure, considering both condition and risk. This letter grade
indicates that, generally, city infrastructure is in a good to fair state of
repair.
A summary of the changes for the General Fund and Saint John Water assets
over the 2016 to 2022 periods is presented in Table 1.

2022 State of the Infrastructure Report
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The State of the Infrastructure (SOTI) Report summarizes the state of city assets used to support
municipal services in the City of Saint John. The report contains several key indicators that allow staff
and Council to compare infrastructure across different service areas, and over time as future SOTI
reports are produced. The report also estimates long-term capital expenditures needed to maintain
existing infrastructure assets. At a high-level, the SOTI report helps answer the following questions:
1. What do we own?
2. What is it worth?
3. What condition is it in?
4. What do we need to do it?
5. When do we need to do it?
6. How much will it cost?
The SOTI report contains several indicators and graphics which facilitate the comparison of
infrastructure across different service areas:
Replacement Value
Infrastructure Deficit
Letter Grades
Condition and Risk Charts
20-Year Capital Expenditures Forecasts
Data Quality & Confidence Bands
Combined, these indicators provide the reader with insight into the current state of infrastructure repair
and will support staff and Council in making informed and evidence-based decisions.
Inventory and Valuation
The SOTI report includes all assets owned by the City of Saint John. The current replacement value of
each asset is estimated to give a sense of the size and magnitude of infrastructure being managed.
Replacement values are estimated using several different methods with varying levels of confidence
and accuracy. The most common method used is to develop unit replacement rates for assets based on
their type and physical characteristics. For example, the value of a watermain is estimated using a unit
value based on pipe diameter and length (e.g., 200mm diameter = $1,000 / meter). All replacement
value estimates presented in this report are expressed in 2021 dollars.
In addition to reporting the replacement value of assets, the SOTI report presents the infrastructure
deficit of each asset category. The infrastructure deficit represents the estimated value of capital
expenditures which are overdue or forecasted to occur in the current year. The infrastructure deficit is
presented throughout the report as a high--s of each asset
and can generally be seen as a backlog of capital expenditures needed to return existing assets to a
state of good repair. It is important to note that the deficit for many assets is calculated with a simple
assumption that the necessary rehabilitation strategy to return the asset to a state of good repair is full

replacement. However, in many instances, the more cost-effective rehabilitation techniques can be
used (e.g., trenchless pipe lining for underground sewers). This assumption often results in an over-
estimate of infrastructure deficit and is a recognized area of improvement.
In summary, the total replacement value of city assets is $3.64 billion. Assets with the largest share of
replacement values include underground sewers, watermains, roads, municipal buildings, and
water/wastewater facilities. Combined, these assets account for over 90% of the replacement value of
asset inventory. The total infrastructure deficit of assets is estimated to be $346 million, which
is approximately 9A detailed breakdown of replacement values and
deficits for major asset groups is presented in Table 1.

Risk
A risk analysis is performed to identify assets which may pose a threat to the municipality. Assets which
are likely to fail and have a serious consequence of failure will generally score a higher risk rating than
assets which are not likely to fail or have a minor consequence of failure. The city has adopted a 5x5
risk rating matrix to assess the risk of asset failure due to deterioration:

Capital Expenditures Forecast
In addition to communicating the overall state of infrastructure repair, the SOTI Report presents a high-
level estimate of anticipated capital expenditures needed to maintain existing infrastructure over the
next 20-years. Long-term forecasts are generated to estimate the average annual investment
requirements to address outstanding deficits and maintain existing assets as they deteriorate over time.
stment plan or strategy. Additional
analysis and prioritization are needed to identify investments which align with Council priorities,
minimize lifecycle costs, mitigate risks, and achieve a desired level of service.
Over the next 20-years city assets are estimated to require almost $1.0 billion in capital renewal
expenditures, resulting in a sustainable funding requirement of $52.2 million per year. This amount
includes an infrastructure deficit of $346 million. The estimated annual capital expenditures over the
next 20 years are presented in Figure 3.

Confidence & Data Quality
The information presented in the SOTI Report is based on the best readily available data and
information. As the information presented in the SOTI Report is sensitive to the accuracy and
completeness of the asset data, confidence bands have been produced for all service areas in the SOTI
Report.
Overall, there is a moderate to high level of confidence in the data and information presented. The
condition of some assets is based on documented observations; however, the majority of assets rely on
uncertain age-based estimates. Most assets have likely been included in the report; however, several
gaps remain when estimating asset condition, risk, infrastructure deficits, replacement values and long-
term capital expenditures.

2022 State of the Infrastructure Report
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
In 2016 the City of Saint John began implementing a corporate-wide asset management (AM) program
to support the sustainable delivery of municipal services. Phase 1 of this program saw the development
of an AM Policy, AM Strategy, and AM Roadmap. Following these developments, the city published its
inaugural State of the Infrastructure (SOTI) report to communicate the current state of infrastructure
repair. The SOTI report was then updated in 2018 after significant improvements to the quality and
reliability of asset data was made. This report is the third iteration of the SOTI report and demonstrates
the c
In addition to publishing the SOTI report, the city is actively improving its AM program by making
several improvements to its AM program:
Updating and refining asset inventory data.
Evaluating asset condition and analyzing risks.
Improving asset management workflows and processes.
Improving organizational structures.
Improving asset data management systems and data sharing processes.
Establishing Levels of Service and Key Performance Indicators (KPI).
Preparing long-term capital plans and budgets.
1.2 Purpose
The purpose of the State of the Infrastructure (SOTI) Report is to communicate the state of repair of the
infrastructure assets essential to the delivery of public services. The report contains several key
indicators that allow the comparison of infrastructure repair across and within different service areas
and over time when the SOTI report is produced in the future. The report also presents the sustainable
funding requirement (future investments needed to maintain existing infrastructure). The SOTI report
does not indicate the anticipated operations and maintenance costs or funding strategies to achieve the
c
informed and evidence-based decisions.
At a high level, the SOTI Report helps answer six key asset management questions:
1. What do we own?
2. What is it worth?
3. What condition is it in?
4. What do we need to do to it?
5. When do we need to do it?
6. How much money do we need?
As the third iteration of the SOTI Report, this document provides a new benchmark which can be
compared against the 2016 and 2018 reports. The 2022 SOTI report represents an improvement in the

(TCA) Registry, an inventory
maintained by the Finance and Accounting group. The 2018 and 2022 reports go beyond this single
source of information and compiles data from a variety of information management systems to provide
the public with the best available information. However, despite these improvements, data gaps remain,
and additional effort is warranted to improve overall confidence.
The city is committed to publishing SOTI reports on a regular basis. As future iterations are produced,
residents will understand and see the impacts of infrastructure renewal programs, funding
commitments, and strategic asset management practices. The city intended on publishing its third SOTI
report in 2020, however a cyberattack caused significant disruption to the ability of staff to access and
analyze asset data. Despite this disruption, the city has regained access to its information management
systems and has achieved its goal of updating the report for the public.
In the interpretation of this report, it should be noted the results presented are based on current, readily
available asset data and information. As this asset data may be incomplete and not fully accurate (even
with the improvements), the results are expected to be subject to change when the data quality is
further refined and improved.
2 APPROACH
2.1 Asset Hierarchy
The ca hierarchal structure which categorizes assets into various service
areas and groups. The purpose of the hierarchy is to ensure asset data is reported in a manner that
supports infrastructure planning, budgeting, and decision-making.
Asset hierarchies can be arranged to reflect organizational structure (e.g., public works, fleet
maintenance, facilities management) or services provided (e.g., potable water, transportation,
recreation). A service-based asset hierarchy has been adopted to ensure consistency with existing
budgeting practices at the city.
the hierarchy demonstrates a different degree of asset complexity/detail for a service area and provides
the reader with additional insight into the current state of infrastructure. Most assets included in the
asset inventory require 3 levels of complexity, while others, such as the Saint John Water assets,
require an additional level, for a total of 4. Additional levels of detail can be added to the hierarchy to
improve asset management decision making or incorporate operational requirements. The top-level
Service Areas and Level 2 categories of the cpresented in Figure 4. A
complete breakdown of the asset hierarchy is found in Appendix A.
Note, the asset categories used in the 2022 SOTI Report have been adjusted from the 2016 and 2018
SOTI reports. These changes are made to accommodate an improved asset inventory and recent
changes to budgeting and management practices.

2.2 Asset Valuation
Every asset in the city is assigned a value based on its current replacement cost. These values are used
primarily to give a relative weight when reporting on the overall state of repair for a service area or
asset category. Replacement values represent the capital value of assets and are not an indicator of
their functional value. Additionally, the replacement value of an asset is not necessarily equal to the cost
needed to return the asset into a state of good repair. While some assets (e.g., vehicles) require a full
replacement once they have reached the end of their useful life, many others (e.g., roads) can often
undergo a more cost-effective rehabilitation strategy to improve their condition. Total replacement
values and the reports which rely on their use should be interpreted with this in mind.
Current replacement values of assets are estimated for each asset using one of three methods:
1. Inflating original acquisition costs using the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
2. Reviewing historical contracts or tenders.
3. Generating asset-specific estimates.
All values in the SOTI Report are expressed in 2021 Canadian dollars. A detailed summary of
replacement costs and methods used for each asset type are provided in Appendix C.
2.3 Condition Assessment
The condition of each asset represents the current state of physical repair and is often used as an
indicator for the relative time until corrective action (rehabilitation, or replacement) is required. The City
of Saint John has adopted a corporate-wide 5-point condition rating scale to align with industry best
practices and provincial reporting recommendations. The corporate-wide condition scale also allows for
comparative benchmarking between asset groups and is sufficiently detailed to support strategic
decision-making and infrastructure planning. Descriptions of each condition rating are shown in Table
2.

The condition of assets in the city are determined using one of three methods:
1.Theoretical Condition leveragesasset age and useful life to estimate condition
2.Operator Experience operator experience and knowledge of the asset
3.Documented Observations systematic and documented observations or inspections of the
asset
The condition of most assets in the SOTI report are based on Method #1: Theoretical Condition.
Theoretical conditions are calculated using a generalized asset deterioration curve, shown in Figure 5.
This curve is intended to mimic the accelerated rate of deterioration an asset experiences towards the
end of its useful life. Note, this curve has been slightly modified from the 2018 report to better reflect
the condition rating descriptions in Table 2.

2.4 Risk Analysis
A risk analysis is performed to identify assets which may pose a significant threat to the delivery of
services. Assets which are likely to fail and have a serious consequence of failure will generally score a
higher risk rating than assets which are not likely to fail and/or have a minor consequence of failure. A
simple evaluation technique is used for all assets in the SOTI Report to estimate the risk of failure due
to deterioration. The method is based on the ISO 31000 framework and accounts for both the
probability and consequence of failure of an asset, and calculates the risk rating of each asset with the
following equation:
Similar to condition, asset probability and consequence of failure ratings are scored on a 5-point scale.
These ratings (and their associated descriptions) are listed in Table 3. Multiplying the values for
probability and consequence of failure together yields a 5x5 risk matrix (Table 4) which can be used to
visualize how assets are classified as high or low risk.

profile). This asset can then be compared against a second asset with a probability of failure,
but a consequence of failure (5). This asset would score a higher risk rating of 15, fall in

City of Saint John 13 of 58
2022 State of the Infrastructure Report
the risk category, and would be recognized as a more critical asset (a piece of disinfection
equipment at the water treatment plant may fit this risk profile). This result does not necessarily suggest
that higher risk assets need to be rehabilitated before lower risk ones but does provide useful
information for staff as part of their overall risk management program.
For the SOTI Report, the risk of asset failure due to deterioration is calculated and presented. To
analyze this risk, it is generally assumed the condition of an asset directly relates to its probability of
failure. Consequence of failure ratings for all assets have been pre-determined by input and
engagement from city staff using a standardized consequence of failure guide. In future iterations of the
SOTI report, additional risk events such as extreme weather events influenced by climate change will
be included. A complete list of the assumed consequence of failure ratings for city assets is presented
in Appendix C.
2.5 Letter Grade
Each asset category and service area are assigned a letter grade to communicate the overall state of
infrastructure repair. These letter grades aggregate both condition and risk ratings to yield a single
letter grade for each category (as defined in Table 5).

possible.
In the interpretation of letter grades, it is important to consider the indicator only represents an average
condition and risk for all assets within the specified category or service area. A category
may suggest overall state of good repair however there may still be a sub-set of assets which are in
August 16, 2022

2022 State of the Infrastructure Report
immediate need of repair or refurbishment. Readers should take caution when interpreting the letter
grades presented. Additionally, consideration is given for assets which score close to the threshold of
another grade (see Figure 6). In this scenario, assets are given a + or symbol to indicate if an asset is
close to a better or worse grade.
The letter grade of each service area and category is calculated using current replacement value-
weighted condition rating and risk category values for the collection of assets within the group. Each
asset is assigned a condition rating using a scale of 1 5 (as shown in Table 2), and a risk category
value of 1 5 by normalizing the risk ratings of 1 25 (as shown in Table 4). The condition ratings and
risk category values of each asset are used to calculate a replacement value-weight letter score ranging
from 1 to 5 using the following approach:
a weighting of 75% condition and 25% risk are used to reflect the relative importance of
condition in , and
the condition ratings and risk category values for individual assets are weighted using current
replacement values to reflect the relative capital value within the specified category.
The letter score thresholds and associated letter grades are shown in Figure 6 below.

2.6 Capital Expenditures Forecast
In addition to communicating the overall state of infrastructure repair, the SOTI Report presents a high-
level estimate of long-term capital expenditures needed to maintain existing infrastructure. Long-term
forecasts are generated to demonstrate the average annual investment requirements over a 20-year
period. A 20-year evaluation period is selected to ensure the replacement cycle of most assets are
captured. Previous iterations of the SOTI report presented a 100-year forecast, however this forecast
was deemed to be too long to support planning and decision-making in the city. An average annual
capital expenditure is calculated and
is the annual average investment requirement to maintain (replace/rehabilitate) all assets at the end of
their useful lives and address the infrastructure deficit.
Additionally, the capital expenditures forecast highlights the current infrastructure deficit the
estimated value of capital expenditures which are overdue or forecasted to occur in the current year.
The infrastructure deficit is presented throughout the report as a high--
requirements of each asset type. It is important to note that the deficit for many assets is calculated with
a simple assumption that the necessary rehabilitation strategy to return the asset to a state of good
repair is full replacement. However, in many instances, the more cost-effective rehabilitation techniques
can be used (e.g., trenchless pipe lining for underground sewers). This assumption often results in an

2.7Data Confidence
The information presented in the SOTI Report is based on the best readily available data and
information. As the information presented in the SOTI Report is sensitive to the accuracy and
completeness of the asset data, confidence bands have been produced for all service areas in the SOTI
Report.
The confidence bands describe, at a high level, the overall confidence in the results presented. The
bands illustrate two concepts: completeness and accuracy.These concepts are defined below:
Completeness a complete set of data is available foreach asset and all assets are recorded
Accuracy the data is a true reflection of the asset it represents
A
state of repair, the results obtained are expected to change. This change will not be due to an
increased deterioration or betterment of infrastructure, it will simply be due to an increase in data
accuracy and completeness. The confidence bands provide context for these sudden increases or
decreases in infrastructure state of repair and results.
Secondly, the confidence bands identify areas for data improvement. The citymayconsider confidence
bands when identifying which asset groups require data quality improvements to produce more certain
results. An example confidence band is shown in Figure 8below, and descriptions on the various
confidence levels are presented in Table 6.

3.1.1 Overview
As Canada's oldest incorporated city and New Brunswick's largest municipality, the City of Saint John
has been providing municipal services to local citizens for more than two centuries. City services are
supported by range of assets distributed across five (5) service areas:
Saint John Water
Transportation & Public Works Services
Fire & Emergency Management Services
Growth & Community Services
Strategic & Corporate Services
Each service area relies on a wide variety of assets to deliver essential services to residents and
businesses. Major assets in the city include watermains, sewermains, water and wastewater facilities,
municipal buildings, roads, fleet, outdoor park and recreation sites, and much more. The overall state of
infrastructure are listed in Table 7.

Notable assets in a Very Poor condition include roads ($83.6 million), Market Square ($54.2 million),
drinking water transmission mains ($41.5 million), combined sewers ($27.7 million), and sanitary sewers
($27.7 million). Note, the replacement value of assets in a Very Poor condition is a benchmarking
indicator and is not necessarily equal to the cost to improve asset condition.
3.1.3 Risk
Most of the city assets currently exhibit a Moderate or better risk rating. However, a small percentage
of assets are in an Extreme risk category and should be investigated immediately. These assets have a
relatively high likelihood of failure and failure could result in significant consequences for the city. The
distribution of asset risks for all city assets is presented in Figure 10. A detailed breakdown of risk
ratings for each asset category is presented in Appendix B.

4 CONCLUSIONS
The 2022 State of Infrastructure (SOTI) Report provides staff, Council, and residents with insights into
the current state of infrastructure repair as well the capital expenditures necessary to maintain assets
over the next 20-year. The information presented in the report supports staff and ity to
make informed and evidence-based decisions. The 2022 version of the report is the third iteration of
the SOTI, building on the foundation established in the 2016 and 2018 versions.
The following general conclusions are drawn from the results presented:
1. The total replacement value of city assets is $3.64 billion. On a per capita basis, this is equal to
$52,133 per person.
2. The infrastructure deficit of city assets is $346 million (9.5% of total replacement value). The
deficit is the estimated capital expenditures which are overdue or forecasted to occur in the
current year, commonly referred to as the investment .
3. assets are in a Fair or better condition. However, 15% ($560 million) of assets
are in a Poor or worse condition and will likely require major renewal in the short-term.
4. assets exhibit a Moderate or better risk of failure due to deterioration.
However, 5% ($181 million) of assets are in an Extreme risk category and should be
investigated immediately.
5. The average annual capital expenditures needed to maintain existing assets and eliminate the
infrastructure deficit over a 20-year period is $52.2 million per year.
6. Overall, the cB-letter grade for the current state of infrastructure,
considering both condition and risk. This letter grade indicates that, generally, city
infrastructure is in a Good to Fair state of repair.
When interpreting these results, it is important to note the information presented is based entirely on
the most current and readily available data. The data used in the report comes from a variety of sources
such as internal databases, external studies and reports, and internal data analysis. The report
summarizes and compiles available data and does not make subjective assessments of the current
state of repair.
The 2022 Report has seen several improvements in the confidence of information presented from the
2016 and 2018 reports. However, several gaps still exist, and it is expected results will continue to
change as additional data quality improvements are made. Overall, the c
are relatively complete but there are gaps with respect to the accuracy of estimates made (e.g.
condition, replacement value, capital expenditures). Although the accuracy of information can still be
improved, the general conclusions are suitable to support strategic decision making related to the
management of municipal infrastructure.
Results from the 2022 SOTI report vary from the findings from 2016 and 2018. Changes are attributed
to a combination of factors such as infrastructure renewal investments made, data quality

improvements, and inflationary increases in pricing. A summary of the changes for General Fund and
Saint John Water assets over this period is presented in Table 14.

Major contributing factors to the changes above include:
Improvements to the quality of replacement value, condition and capital expenditure estimates
for municipal buildings and water & wastewater facilities due to building condition assessments.
The total replacement value of most buildings has increased due to previous underreporting.
For example, the replacement value of Market Square almost doubled from $83 million to $147
million and TD Station more than tripled from $24 million to $93 million.
Significant inflationary increases in the estimated construction costs of linear infrastructure
(roadways, watermains, sewermains). In some cases, estimated replacement costs were
increased by 30% from 2018 estimates.
Improved quality of fleet inventory and condition assessment data by replacing previous
datasets with a more accurate list used by Fleet Management.
Change in the manner which roadway pavement condition ratings (PCI indices) are translated

Sustainable funding requirement in 2016 and 2018 was based on a 100-year capital expenditure forecast whereas the 2022 report is based on a
20-year forecast (thereby reducing the duration which the deficit is spread out over).

5 RECOMMENDATIONS
The SOTI report is a data-driven document which relies on accurate, reliable, and complete asset data
and information to support the information presented therein
identified several initiatives it will pursue in the future to improve the quality and confidence in the
results. These improvements include:
1. Improving asset inventory data.
Some asset categories have limited or poor data quality to support the SOTI report.
asset management program. Asset inventories ensure the city can make informed and
evidence-based decisions and ensure line of sight across the organization. Notable assets
which would benefit from an improved inventory of assets includes parks, trails, IT &
equipment, outdoor sports and recreation, and playgrounds.
2. Performing condition assessments.
The condition of many assets in the SOTI report are estimated using age as a proxy. However,
age-based condition estimates are often uncertain and do not necessarily reflect the true state
of infrastructure repair. Documented observations and additional investigations can often
improve the confidence and accuracy of information presented. Assets which would benefit the
most from condition assessments include watermains, municipal buildings, water and
wastewater facilities, sanitary and combined sewers, sidewalks, culverts, and retaining walls.
3. Estimating long-term capital expenditures.
The lifecycle management strategy of most assets in the SOTI report run to
failure, replace like for like ined using more
cost-effective and strategic rehabilitation strategies. Identifying these strategies greatly
improves the confidence in long-term capital expenditure forecasts and can often result in a
reduction in the infrastructure deficit (assuming the rehabilitation strategy is more cost-effective
than full replacement).
4. Improving systems used to manage asset data.
The city currently relies on a combination of systems to manage asset data and information.
Additionally, the maturity and use of these systems varies across the organization, with some
groups extensively using systems to update and manage asset data. However, several groups
have limited abilities to collect, maintain and update data due to a lack of systems or staff
knowledge and training. Implementing a corporate asset management system, combined with
adequate staff training, will allow all departments within the organization to ensure asset data is
reliable, accurate and up to date, and facilitate the development of the SOTI report on an
ongoing basis.

These budgets have significant approved funding from both Federal and Provincial
levels of government along with several funding applications submitted for
additional funding financial
funding that aligns with the various plans, asset renewal needs and
priorities.
These budgets not only work to address the infrastructure deficit the City has, but
they also contribute to the positive impacts renewed assets can have on the
Community. As assets are renewed there is more opportunities to reduce
greenhouse gases, prepare for climate change impacts, offer more green options
throughout the City, focus on Council Priorities as well as focus on improving quality
of life for the residents of Saint John.
General Fund Capital Budgets

which includes the asset management plan, capital budget policy, debt
management policy and alignment with the long-term financial plan. Under the

Utility Fund Capital Budgets
The proposed Utility Fund Capital Budget proposes a total of $28,222,277 with
$9,908,556 being funded from the operating budget and $18,313,721 coming from
a combination of fleet reserves and funding from other sources. The budget also
consists of no new borrowing for the Utility as the focus has been on reducing debt
and no debt borrowing has occurred since 2017.
The budget continues to focus on the renewal of assets to continue improving the
status of the infrastructure deficit. The work primarily includes replacement of
infrastructure however there are also green initiatives at several facilities and the
budget ensures alignment with the capital program in the General Fund.
However as with the General Fund, the reinvestments are much more than just
replacing assets. Climate and Environmental factors play a significant part in this
budget. There are investments in wastewater lift stations that require stations to
be moved or raised above flood levels in accordance with our Climate Adaptation
Plan. This will ensure a reliable collection of wastewater service to citizens and
businesses of Saint John and prevent environmental damage in the case of future
significant flood events.
Significant investments are being proposed in Lancaster Lagoon to renew portions of
this asset that are at the end of their asset life, the investments in this asset will also assist
in mitigating climate change through significant improvements in operational
efficiency and the
Change Adaptation Plan. The continuation of storm sewer separations and
sanitary sewer replacements are critical investments that build the infrastructure
first incorporated City. These investments allow for mitigation of climate events
and prevent overwhelming the system further preparing the City for the effects of
climate change. The alignment on these investments with the General Fund are
key for allowing continued growth and development of housing opportunities.
Other investments being proposed are investing in a combined sewer separation
strategies for the North End and the drainage basin around the Bayside School
along with watershed investments for both potable and industrial users.
Conclusion
The proposed budgets for both the General Fund and Utility Fund continue to
focus on asset renewal, while aligning with approved Financial Policies, various
approved City Plans and successful leveraging of Government funding.
The reinvestments and new investments are critical to meet the changing
environment, reducing the greenhouse gas emissions and meeting the needs
and desires of residents across the City.
The budgets continue to align asset renewal while focusing on growth of tax base
and population, public safety, greening and beautification efforts, recreation,
active transportation and a vibrant waterfront.
