Budgeting for Facilities Maintenance
and Repair Activities
“An appropriate budget allocation for routine
M&R [maintenance and repair] for a
substantial inventory of facilities will typically
be in the range of two to four percent of the
aggregate current replacement value
of those facilities (excluding land and major
associated infrastructure).
Community Participation in Planning
Title
• Community participation in this context
broadly covers the inclusion of local
communities in planning decisions to
enhance community development.

• In more simple terms, it is the involvement of

local people or members of a given
community in decision-making process on
matters that affect their wellbeing (Ribot,
1996).
 Creating a Vision
• Tips for crafting your vision statement
• Project five to 10 years in the future.
• Dream big and focus on success.
• Use the present tense.
• Use clear, concise, jargon-free language.
• Infuse it with passion and make it inspiring.
• Align it with your business values and goals.
Maintenance & Operations Costs

• The Operation and Maintenance (O&M) cost

of a component is the cost associated with
operating and maintaining that component.
The total O&M cost of the system is the sum
of the O&M costs of each system
component. For most components, you
enter the O&M cost as an annual amount.

Coordination
