Working Definition of Deferred Maintenance

The Task Force uses the following definition in collecting its data and considering projects for funding as deferred maintenance needs: "The aggregation of unfunded routine maintenance and repair and replacement which was not performed in a timely manner due to lack of available funding, lower priority, management decisions to use maintenance funds for other purposes or other recognized delaying factors."
