Charlotte County faced a daunting challenge: managing and modernizing over 70 years’ worth of diverse and aging public infrastructure assets. Challenges included managing significant growth expectations while maintaining aging assets that are over 100 years old. The vast portfolio includes everything from mosquito protection systems to large utilities, bridges, and municipal buildings. The workforce challenges of an aging workforce nearing retirement threatened knowledge continuity, while staff retention is challenged by the competition from the private sector. The existing organizational alignment did not support consistent asset management practices, a general lack of high-quality data on assets across departments made it difficult to make informed investment decisions or implement a standardized asset management process. Most departments, by necessity, maintain a prevailing 'fix it when it breaks' mentality leading to expensive reactive maintenance programs. Stringent legislation and rules limited flexibility in optimizing asset value throughout their lifecycle. The current levels of maturity were not great but somewhat consistent. A lot to reconcile.
