Energy - Outlook
Gas
Stable low pricing
Electricity
EPEC no increase Backup generation subject to bond issuance Drought makes KBH loads critical Solar still not economical
Aging Infrastructure
Rehabilitation - Wells
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 of old wells) Additional well capacity from new wells to meet future demand

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 building infrastructure
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
Human Resources
Transition of President/CEO Succession Planning Many employees, including key managers, will be eligible for retirement within the next 1-5 years. Recruitment Would like to make amendments to City Charter
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 Strategic Plan
Customer Service
Automated Meter Reading (AMR)
Implement for new development in master planned communities
Research
Define and identify CHIWAWA priorities CHIWAWA Concentrate Management Policy Analysis Project In progress with WateReuse and Water Research Foundation funds Could allow for opportunities to develop additional desal projects Possible additional research projects Triple bottom line analysis of desalination versus conventional water treatment
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
