The city's buildings need about $54 million in repairs after planned projects — Braemar Arena alone is $25.4 million. Staff estimate $10 million a year for ten years just to stabilize things, and the current construction levy doesn't come close.

Impact analysis
Roughly $10 million a year for a decade to catch up — money that would otherwise come from taxpayers or service cuts.
Everyone who uses city buildings, pools, arenas and parks benefits from upkeep.
If repairs keep getting deferred, building conditions and service reliability could suffer.
