Aging Water Well Infrastructure EPWU routinely uses wells that are over 50 years old Evaluation of well construction materials and age of

well to develop a systematic replacement plan

Maintaining current well capacity (Replacement ofold wells)

Strategic, Financial &Management Services


46/64

Financial Planning

Rate increases Continued drought and emphasis on conservation will likely

decrease revenue Maintaining bond ratings

Debt service coverage at 2X

Need to increase cash reserves Additional revenue will be needed to fund major water supply

projects Reserve fund needed for major water supply projects

Continue to take advantage of low interest rate

environment by refunding bonds and buildinginfrastructure


47/64

Land Management

Phasing of master planned land Need to budget for infrastructure needed to serve the

development Land management in accordance with revised City/PSB

Land MOU Proactive approach to land management Annual declaration of inexpedient land City involved earlier in process

Biannual report to City Council


48/64

Human Resources

Transition of President/CEO Succession Planning

Many employees, including key managers, will beeligible for retirement within the next 1-5 years.

Recruitment Would like to make amendments to City Charter


49/64

Information Technology

Maximize use of systems Cloud technology Access to date thru technology

Shift from traditional IT infrastructure to an always-on,

work anytime, anywhere environment Standardize SCADA system Continue following the recommendations in the IT

55/64

State Legislative Session in 2013

Water Conservation (reduce consumption - statewide) Implementation of State Water Plan (regional solutions) Desalination (concentrate disposal issues) Energy/Water (State monitoring Fed. Legislation for

increased barriers, regulations, fees, etc.) Taxes (Revenue Generation, Education, increased sales

tax, etc.) Expanded SRF Program

Solar Power (not a priority)


56/64

Government/Legislative

Agendas to include: Federal:

Water supply projects Providing reclaimed water to UTEP, Blackie Chesher

Park, others State:

Legislative Agenda Defense Funding for the State Water Plan Inclusion of water supply costs when charging impact

fee City:

- Possible assumption of Rio Bosque Park- Transfer of Palisades to City
