Belleville city council approved a recommendation to seek public feedback on the proposed levels of service for the Asset Management Plan.
Regulation laid out by the province of Ontario in 2018 requires municipalities to develop a complete asset management system over a series of milestones/deadlines.
By July 1, 2025, the city must update its asset management plan to report on both current and proposed levels of service, and their related costs.
Under the current proposed plan, the city would invest just over $1.1 billion over 10 years maintaining and improving municipal services and facilities.
In order to meet its deadline, city staff will look to release a public survey that would be online for three weeks beginning late in March and continuing into April.
There will be eight questions for residents to answer with city staff hoping for 700 to 1000 residents to respond to the survey.
After receiving the results, staff will put together the final proposed level of service to be brought forward to council in May.
The final asset management plan would then be presented in June, ahead of the July 1 deadline.
The entire draft asset management plan can be seen here.
