Fire �auipment Replacement ProBram The Fire Equipment Replacement Program began three years ago as a way to upgrade the Fire Department�s fleet in a well planned manner. The 1992 Sudget includes the replacement of the ladder vehicle. Since it beqan in 1989, this program has reduced the average aqe of the Fire Department fleet from 15.6 years to 9.5 years. Pavement Management ro m The Pavement Management Program (PMP) is a twenty year program begun in 1986. The first eight years of the program involve a major effort to reconstruct all roadways that are not in good condition. This phase will be completed in 1994. During the initial phase, the City will reconstruct approximately 3.8 miles of roadway per year, at an annual cost of two million dollars. In the second phase the volume of reconstruction, as well as the annual program costs, will be reduced substantially as the focus changes to preventive maintenance. The program has been very successful and well received, as demonstrated by the positive reaction of residents in completed neighborhoods, and by the fact that the requests from residents for street reconstruction exceed the level of funding for the proqram. arks ImDrovement Proqram The major new initiative began in the 1991 is the Parks Improve- ment Program (PZP). The PIP Program is designed to provide for the long-term maintenance, repair, and replacement of the City's park facilities. The general operation of the program is to move through each of the City's parks, based on an evaluation of park condition, to accomplish a total repair, renovation, or replace- ment of all major facilities in each park. Because aome types of facilities common to a number of parks are currently in need of substantial renovation, such as tennis courts and shelter buildings, the initial years of the program will focus on these facilities. The focus will then shift to the targeting of individual parks. This program, modeled after the highly successful paving manage- ment program, is showing outstanding success as well and is expected to be continued on for the foreseeable future. �
