I would wonder about the part of the line that reads "over and above what’s previously been identified in the capital budget." As well, are there things that have been overlooked or deferred in the capital budget that shouldn't be?
For instance, have they planned for the full life-time cycle of the existing infrastructure? Or is there an infrastructure deficit that is being ignored? I spent some time reading the report before stopping. I'm willing to be corrected.
I did find a staff report from 2013 that suggested that once the debt was cleared in 2023, that a reserve would be built up ready to tackle infrastructure lifecycle costs after 2050.
There was also a tiny note about a future "Innovation District Parking Garage" circa 2026 in the 2017 report.
