NO:DIV. NO. All APPROVED BY: Kevin Koeppen, Asst. Chief Financial Officer Joseph R. Beachem, Chief Financial Officer Jose Martinez, General Manager SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. 4449 Allowing for the Reimbursement of Certain Expenditures from the Proceeds of the Water Debt Obligations of the District, Anticipated to be Issued During FY 2026 GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION: That the Board adopt Resolution No. 4449 allowing for the reimbursement of certain expenditures from the proceeds of the water debt obligations (the “Obligations”) of the District, anticipated to be issued during FY 2026. COMMITTEE ACTION: Please see Attachment A. PURPOSE: To present for the Board’s consideration the adoption of Resolution No. 4449 declaring the District’s intent to reimburse certain expenditures from the proceeds of the Obligations. ANALYSIS: The District anticipates the issuance of the Obligations during FY 2026 to finance an amount not to exceed $54 million with total issuance costs of approximately $530,000. The District anticipates a debt issuance of up to $54 million in FY 2026 to pay for potable and recycled capital improvement projects over the next three fiscal years. The Resolution declares the intent of the District to reimburse itself from the proceeds of the Obligations for any AGENDA ITEM 6b qualifying expenditures incurred prior to the issuance of the Obligations. It should be noted that the U.S. Tax Code allows the District to reimburse itself for any such expenditures incurred within the 60 days prior to the adoption of the Resolution. Between October 3, 2024, and the date of issuance of the Obligations, the District will spend approximately $54 million on water capital improvements that qualify for payment from the proceeds of the Obligations. Staff anticipates using funds from the General Fund, capital reserves, and other legally available sources to cover expenditures due prior to the issuance of the Obligations. The Resolution will allow the District to replenish its General Fund and capital reserves. This reimbursement Resolution also assists the District in meeting the arbitrage spend-down requirements. Treasury and Internal Revenue Code regulations require the adoption of the Resolution as an “official action,” which qualifies the District to reimburse itself upon the issuance of tax-exempt debt. However, the adoption of the attached Resolution does not irrevocably bind the District to issue the Obligations. It simply outlines the District’s current intent to do so at a future date and preserves the District’s right to reimburse itself for qualified expenditures. FISCAL IMPACT: Joe Beachem, Chief Financial Officer The potential reimbursement of $54 million in CIP expenditures will assist the District in maintaining its operating and capital reserve levels in accordance with the District’s Reserve Policy. STRATEGIC GOAL: The District ensures its continued financial health through long-term financial planning and debt planning. LEGAL IMPACT: None.

Following the discussion, the Committee supported staff’s recommendation and presentation to the full board as a Consent Item. RESOLUTION NO. 4449 RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE OTAY WATER DISTRICT REGARDING ITS INTENTION TO SEEK REIMBURSEMENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE ISSUANCE OF TAX-EXEMPT OBLIGATIONS BY THE OTAY WATER DISTRICT OR THE OTAY WATER DISTRICT FINANCING AUTHORITY WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Otay Water District (the “Issuer”) desires to finance the costs of acquiring certain public facilities and improvements, as provided in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein (the “Project”); and WHEREAS, the Issuer intends to finance the acquisition of the Project or portions of the Project with the proceeds of the sale of obligations by either the Issuer or the Otay Water District Financing Authority, the interest upon which is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes (the “Obligations”); and WHEREAS, prior to the issuance of the Obligations, the Issuer desires to incur certain expenditures with respect to the Project from available monies of the Issuer which expenditures are desired to be reimbursed by the Issuer from a portion of the proceeds of the sale of the Obligations; NOW, THEREFORE, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE OTAY WATER DISTRICT DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, ORDER, AND DETERMINE AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. The Issuer hereby states its intention and reasonably expects to reimburse Project costs incurred prior to the issuance of the Obligations with proceeds of the Obligations. Exhibit A describes either the general character, type, purpose, and function Attachment B of the Project, or the fund or account from which Project costs are to be paid and the general functional purpose of the fund or account. SECTION 2. The reasonably expected maximum principal amount of the Obligations is $54,000,000. SECTION 3. This resolution is being adopted on or prior to the date (the “Expenditures Date or Dates”) that the Issuer will expend monies for the portion of the Project costs to be reimbursed from proceeds of the Obligations. SECTION 4. Except as described below, the expected date of issue of the Obligations will be within eighteen months of the later of the Expenditure Date or Dates and the date the Project is placed in service; provided, the reimbursement may not be made more than three years after the original expenditure is paid. For Obligations subject to the small issuer exception of Section 148(f)(4)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code, the “eighteen-month limit” of the previous sentence is changed to “three years” and the limitation of the previous sentence beginning with “; provided, . . .” is not applicable. SECTION 5. Proceeds of the Obligations to be used to reimburse for Project costs are not expected to be used, within one year of reimbursement, directly or indirectly to pay debt service with respect to any obligation (other than to pay current debt service coming due within the next succeeding one-year period on any tax-exempt obligation of the Issuer (other than the Obligations)) or to be held as a reasonably required reserve or replacement fund with respect to an obligation of the Issuer or any entity related in any manner to the Issuer, or to reimburse any expenditure that was originally paid with the proceeds of any obligation, or to replace funds that are or will be used in such manner. SECTION 6. This resolution is consistent with the budgetary and financial circumstances of the Issuer as of the date hereof. No monies from sources other than the Obligation issue are, or are reasonably expected to be reserved, allocated on a long-term basis, or otherwise set aside by the Issuer (or any related party) pursuant to their budget or financial policies with respect to the Project costs. To the best of our knowledge, this Board is not aware of the previous adoption of official intents by the Issuer that have been made as a matter of course for the purpose of reimbursing expenditures and for which tax-exempt obligations have not been issued. SECTION 7. The limitations described in Section 3 and Section 4 do not apply to (a) costs of issuance of the Obligations, (b) an amount not in excess of the lesser of $100,000 or five percent (5%) of the proceeds of the Obligations, or (c) any preliminary expenditures, such as architectural, engineering, surveying, soil testing, and similar costs other than land acquisition, site preparation, and similar costs incidental to the commencement of construction, not in excess of twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate issue price of the Obligations that finances the Project for which the preliminary expenditures were incurred. SECTION 8. This resolution is adopted as official action of the Issuer in order to comply with Treasury Regulation §1.150-2 and any other regulations of the Internal Revenue Service relating to the qualification for reimbursement of Issuer expenditures incurred prior to the date of issue of the Obligations, is part of the Issuer’s official proceedings, and will be available for inspection by the general public at the main administrative office of the Issuer. SECTION 9. All the recitals in this Resolution are true and correct, and this Board of Directors so finds, determines, and represents.

The Fair Political Practices Commission has adopted a regulation (2 Cal. Code of Regs. Sec. 18730) that contains the terms of a standard conflict of interest code, which can be incorporated by reference in an agency’s code. After public notice and hearing, the standard code may be amended by the Fair Political Practices Commission to conform to amendments in the Political Reform Act. Therefore, the terms of 2 California Code of Regulations Section 18730 and any amendments to it duly adopted by the Fair Political Practices Commission are hereby incorporated by reference. This regulation and the attached Appendix, designating positions and establishing disclosure requirements, shall constitute the Conflict of Interest Code of the Otay Water District (District). 6.01 DEFINITIONS The definitions contained in the Political Reform Act of 1974 (Government Code Sections 81000 et seq.), regulations of the Fair Political Practices Commission (2 Cal. Code of Regs.

The Fair Political Practices Commission has adopted a regulation (2 Cal. Code of Regs. Sec. 18730) that contains the terms of a standard conflict of interest code, which can be incorporated by reference in an agency’s code. After public notice and hearing, the standard code may be amended by the Fair Political Practices Commission to conform to amendments in the Political Reform Act. Therefore, the terms of 2 California Code of Regulations Section 18730 and any amendments to it duly adopted by the Fair Political Practices Commission are hereby incorporated by reference. This regulation and the attached Appendix, designating positions and establishing disclosure requirements, shall constitute the Conflict of Interest Code of the Otay Water District (District). 6.01 DEFINITIONS The definitions contained in the Political Reform Act of 1974 (Government Code Sections 81000 et seq.), regulations of the Fair Political Practices Commission (2 Cal. Code of Regs.

It has been determined that these persons make or participate in the making of decisions which may foreseeably have a material effect on financial interests. The General Manager or his/her designee shall have the authority to designate any person holding a position within the District as a person designated to provide disclosures regardless of whether or not the position that the person holds is included in the Appendix if, in the view of the General Manager or his/her designee, the person has the potential to make or participate in the making of decisions which may foreseeably have a material effect on financial interests.

KC/MJL:jf Attachments: Attachment A – Committee Action Attachment B - Fiscal Year 2024 Fourth Quarter CIP Expenditure Report Attachment C – Presentation ATTACHMENT A SUBJECT/PROJECT: VARIOUS Informational Item – Fourth Quarter Fiscal Year 2024 Capital Improvement Program Report COMMITTEE ACTION: The Engineering, Operations, and Water Resources Committee (Committee) reviewed this item at a meeting held on September 17, 2024, and the following comments were made: • As indicated in the PowerPoint presentation (Attachment C), the District’s Fiscal Year 2024 CIP budget consists of 139 projects. Staff stated that the $15.41 million CIP budget is divided into four categories: o Capital Facilities $3.49 million o Replacement/Renewal $9.57 million o Capital Purchases $2.33 million o Developer Reimbursement $12 thousand • It was noted that overall expenditures through the fourth Quarter of Fiscal Year 2024 are approximately $6.46 million which is about 42% of the Fiscal Year budget. • In response to a question from the Committee, staff stated that some projects have spending above 100% because as projects were slowed due to staff vacancies and other delays, other projects were accelerated when possible. This resulted in some projects spending more than what staff had anticipated for the fiscal year, but not over the overall project budget. • Staff stated that the layout for electrical conduits and SCADA communication at the treatment plant are strategically placed underground for safety and operational purposes. Following the discussion, the Committee supported staff’s recommendation and presentation to the full board as an informational item.

NO. ALL SUBMITTED BY: Michael Kerr, Information Technology Manager APPROVED BY: Adolfo Segura, Chief, Administrative Services Jose Martinez, General Manager SUBJECT: FY24 YEAR-END REPORT OF THE DISTRICT’S FY23-26 STRATEGIC PLAN GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION: No recommendation. This is an informational item only. COMMITTEE ACTION: Please see “Attachment A”. PURPOSE: To provide a year-end report of the District’s FY23-26 Strategic Plan for FY24. ANALYSIS: Summary The current Otay Water District Strategic Plan is a four-year plan from the start of FY23 to the end of FY26. This report details the year-end results for the second year of our four-year program. Objectives – Target 90% The Strategic Plan objectives ensure the District executes its mission- developed strategies and implements appropriate changes necessary to guide the agency, meet new challenges, and adapt positively to change. FY24 year-end results are below target at 85%, with 29 of 34 active initiatives completed or on schedule, one (1) behind schedule, and four (4) on hold. AGENDA ITEM 10 Objectives Behind Schedule (1): FINANCIAL Strategy #2: Invest in technology to enhance customer engagement and satisfaction. Objective #1: Deploy Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) technology in service areas to improve District operations. In September 2023, the District’s contractor, Master Meter, began upgrading automated meter reading (AMR) meters to advanced meter infrastructure (AMI) meters. While the progress has been slower than expected, the conversion is now projected for completion in 2025, with fewer meters converted than initially planned. As the transition continues, the customer engagement phase will be launched accordingly. In February 2024, staff applied for an additional $500,000 WaterSmart grant, which was approved in August 2024. This funding will support the conversion of additional meters to AMI during the upcoming meter replacement program. Objectives On Hold (4): FINANCIAL Strategy #1: Maintain a long-range financing plan that sets forth the long-term funding needs of the District. Objective #2: Evaluate banking functions for lower cost and process efficiencies. 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 29 1 4 1 On Schedule/Completed Behind On Hold Not Started 29 of 34 Objectives Below Target (85%) With the delay of the cost-of-service study, staff will explore alternative options for reducing credit card processing costs. Although the District has switched online credit card providers, staff cannot itemize credit card interchange fees by account type because of reporting limitations. As a result, the analysis cannot proceed, and the objective has been put on hold. Staff intend to gather additional data in FY25 to develop potential cost-saving strategies. Strategy #1: Maintain a long-range financing plan that sets forth the long-term funding needs of the District. Objective #3: Evaluate the District’s cash reserve policies to consider optimal uses and levels of reserves to ensure financial resiliency. This objective was placed on hold pending the completion of the Financials module of the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementation, which is expected to go live in January 2025. LEARNING AND GROWTH Strategy #1: Coordinate workforce planning activities to determine future needs, identify gaps, and implement actions to close the gaps. Objective #2: Evaluate the implementation of learning and development programs in coordination with partner agencies. This objective was placed on hold while implementing the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA). During this period, the District continued to support employee growth by offering access to various training and development opportunities. These include resources from the Centre for Organizational Effectiveness, Franklin Covey, Vector Solutions, Liebert Cassidy Whitmore (LCW) Training Consortium, the Association of California Water Agencies Joint Powers Insurance Authority (ACWA JPIA), and other external training providers. Strategy #1: Coordinate workforce planning activities to determine future needs, identify gaps, and implement actions to close the gaps. Objective #3: Analyze and identify workforce trends to address critical gaps between the current workforce and future needs. This objective was placed on hold during the MOU and HRA implementation. However, workforce trends were gathered during ongoing Innovation Committee Meetings held in the third and fourth quarters. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) – Target 75% KPIs are designed to track the District’s day-to-day performance, measuring the effectiveness and efficiency of essential operational services. The District’s overall KPI goal of 75% is considered “on target.” For FY24, year-end results exceeded this target, reaching 88%, with 29 of 33 items meeting or surpassing the desired level. KPIs are defined using established AWWA performance benchmarks, water agency standards, and historical trends. Of the total measures outlined in the Strategic Plan, ten (10) are reported annually to include: • Water Rate Ranking • Sewer Rate Ranking • Water Debt Coverage • Sewer Debt Coverage • Reserve Level • Accounts Per Full-Time Employee (FTE) • Business Recovery Exercises • Vulnerability Assessments • Potable Tank Inspection and Cleaning • Injury Incident Rate One (1) measure is reported biennially to triennially: • Customer Opinion Survey 29 of 33 Key Performance Indicators are On Target (88%) 0510152025303540 29 4 On Target Not on Target KPI’s Not on Target (4): Water Debt Coverage Ratio Target: 150% excluding growth revenue annually. Excluding the non-cash GASB-68 adjustment of $5 million, the Debt Coverage Ratio is 186%. Including the $5 million non-cash GASB-68 adjustment for pension accounting, the Debt Coverage Ratio is 133%. CIP Project Expenditures vs. Budget Target: 95% of budget annually. Capital Improvement Project (CIP) expenditure reached 42% at year-end, falling short due to delays in material acquisition and staff vacancies. Staff anticipates being back on track in FY25. Potable Tank Inspection and Cleaning Target: 7 potable water storage tanks and/or reservoirs cleaned annually. The target for this measure is typically 8 potable reservoirs cleaned per fiscal year. However, in FY23, 9 reservoirs were cleaned and inspected (624-3, 980-1, 980-2, 1296-1, 1296-2, 1296-3, 571-1, 1004- 2, and 485-1, which was re-coated). As a result, the target for FY24 was reduced from 8 to 7. In FY24 Q4, a total of 6 reservoirs were cleaned (803-3, 832-1, 657-1, 657-2, 624-1, and 870-1). Reservoir 850-2 was scheduled for cleaning but was not completed due to contractor issues. This cleaning has been rescheduled for FY25 Q3. Employee Turnover Rate Target: Less than 5% turnover annually. There were 12 voluntary terminations in FY24, resulting in an 8.81% turnover. Next Steps Staff will continue to focus on the plan’s objectives, key performance indicators, and emerging trends. Committee Reports – Slideshow The year-end results of the Strategic Plan are presented to the Engineering, Operations, and Water Resources Committee, and Finance and Administration Committee, explicitly focusing on the most relevant information for each Committee (see “Attachment B”). The Strategic Plan is also available on the District’s website. FISCAL IMPACT: Joe Beachem, Chief Financial Officer Informational item only; no fiscal impact. STRATEGIC GOAL: Strategic Plan and Performance Measure reporting is critical in providing performance reporting to the Board and staff. LEGAL IMPACT: None. ATTACHMENTS: Attachment A – Committee Action Report Attachment B – PowerPoint Presentation ATTACHMENT A SUBJECT/PROJECT: FY24 YEAR-END REPORT OF THE DISTRICT’S FY23-26 STRATEGIC PLAN COMMITTEE ACTION: The Engineering, Operations, and Water Resources, and the Finance and Administration Committee met on September 17 and 19, 2024, respectively, to review this item and the following comments were made: • A PowerPoint Presentation of the Fiscal Year 2024 Year-End Report was provided to the Committee. It was indicated that the staff report includes details of all objectives placed on hold and are behind schedule. • Staff stated that the district has some notable highlights within the grant funding objective. These include the following: o August 2023 - State Water Resources Control Board awarded $300,000 for a joint recycled water interconnection planning study with Sweetwater Authority to assess recycled water and other water reuse opportunities o November 2023 – FEMA approved $232,139.40 for preparedness for Climate Adaptation and Resilience Plan for climate and facility vulnerability assessment o August 2024 – Bureau of Reclamation, through the WaterSmart Program, awarded $500,000 to the district for its AMI Upgrade Project o SANDAG awarded a $78,593.80 Environmental Mitigation Program Land Management Grant to further support the district’s environmental stewardship efforts Overall, led by the engineering team, approximately $1.1 million dollars in grants has been secured within the current plan to support the district’s mission. • As noted in the staff report, the Capital Improvement Project expenditure reached 42% at year-end, falling short due to delays in material acquisition and staff vacancies. Staff anticipates being back on track in FY25. • Details of the Water Debt Coverage Ratio were discussed in which staff explained that at the end of each fiscal year, CalPERS provides agencies with reporting data that is used by agencies to record financial transactions to comply with Governmental Accounting Standards (GASB 68). While the adjustment resulted in the debt service coverage being below target, it is a non-cash adjustment that does not impact the district’s ability to meet its debt service obligations and covenants. The district still met its debt service obligations and covenants. • In response to a question from the Committee, staff stated that the AMI Project was on hold due to technological challenges. The manufacturer was not familiar with the district’s topography which impacted the roll out of the project. • The Committee inquired about the cross-functional innovation committee. Staff stated that this is a collaboration with selective non-management staff at all levels and has been in place for almost one year. This committee, made up of staff who have been with the district for two years or less, share their experiences from previous workplaces. The district considers the committee’s ideas and feedback and determines if the information given can be implemented with current business practices to increase the district’s overall success. • In response to a question from the Committee regarding grant opportunities, staff indicated that the district has a portal and a consultant who identifies grant opportunities. The district also receives notifications of potential grants from federal and statewide governments. • There was a discussion on Learning and Growth objectives that are on hold: “Evaluate the implementation of learning and development programs in coordination with partner agencies” and “Analyze and identify workforce trends to address critical gaps between the current workforce and future needs.” It was noted that as of June 30, 2024, these objectives were on hold which is indicated in the staff report. However, they are currently on target as of September 2024. • It was noted that COVID-19 is not included in the Strategic Plan’s KPI Injury Incident Rate. It is tracked by reporting sick leave which has an option to indicate if the sick leave is COVID-19 related. • There was a discussion on the KPI Employee Voluntary Turnover Rate in which staff noted that it does not include retirement. At the request of the Committee, staff will replace the word “voluntary termination” in the staff report and clarify that staff who left the district went onto other job opportunities. Upon completion of the discussion, the Committee supported staffs’ recommendation and presentation to the full board as an Informational Item.

NO: N/A DIV. NO. N/A APPROVED BY: Jose Martinez, General Manager SUBJECT: General Manager’s Report GENERAL MANAGER: • Joint Public Information Council (JPIC) and Conservation Coordinators Meeting – On Sept. 9, communications staff attended the San Diego County Water Authority's JPIC and Conservation Coordinators meeting. The Water Authority provided updates on upcoming events and speaking engagements, water-use efficiency programs, a member agency spotlight series, regulatory items, the Colorado River, the Value of Water Messaging Survey, Imagine a Day Without Water, and the digital marketing industry. •Construction Outreach – Communications staff assisted engineering by preparing District giveaways and materials for its outreach booth at the Construction Network’s Water Districts event about upcoming projects and contracting opportunities held on Sept. 19 at the La Valle Coastal Club in Rancho Santa Fe. As part of a panel discussion, Engineering Manager Kevin Cameron shared an update on the District’s capital improvement program and field services for fiscal years 2025-2030. Other speakers included those from the City of San Diego and Padre Dam Municipal, San Dieguito, and Vallecitos water districts. •Legislation – Senate Bill 1072 (Steve Padilla), sponsored by the District and the City of San Diego, was signed by Governor Newsom on Sept. 20. SB 1072 will protect ratepayers whose rates would otherwise need to be increased to pay retroactive refunds due to costly litigation against public agencies from legal challenges to AGENDA ITEM 11 2 their water, sewer, and refuse collection service fee structures. SB 1072 declares that its provisions further the purposes and intent of Proposition 218 and provide that if a court determines that a fee or charge for a property-related service, including water, sewer, and refuse collection, violates Section 6 of Article XIII D of the California Constitution, then the local agency shall, in the next procedure to impose or increase the fee or charge, credit the amount of the fee or charge attributable to the violation against the amount of the revenues required to provide the property-related service unless a refund is explicitly provided for by statute or the claims are related to billing errors. Two other Proposition 18-related bills that the District supported, AB 1827 (Papan) and AB 2257 (Wilson), were also signed by the Governor in late September. AB 1827, sponsored by the California Coastkeeper Alliance and Irvine Ranch Water District and supported by a wide-ranging coalition of statewide associations, environmental organizations, water suppliers, and regional stakeholders, affirms the authority of public water agencies to use meter size and peaking factors to allocate the costs of providing water service among customers. AB 1827 affirms existing law that allows water suppliers to use these reasonable and well-accepted methods of assessing the incremental costs associated with higher water usage demands to high water users. Because of lawsuits that threaten California water providers’ ability to use these well-accepted cost allocation methods, this measure is critical to preventing these costs from being passed on to low-water users. ACWA-sponsored AB 2257 is the administrative exhaustion procedure that will create more protections from future Proposition 218 lawsuits. It was a multi-year effort by the ACWA legal affairs committee. This bill will allow ratepayers to participate and raise specific objections to proposed rate changes before resorting to litigation after the new rates are approved. This bill will allow local agencies and ratepayers to resolve objections during the public process and avoid surprise litigation. • Business Outreach – Communications staff attended the Chula Vista Chamber First Friday Breakfast in August and Albondigas and the Otay Chamber member breakfast in September. 3 • Tour Coordination – Communications staff coordinated a board tour of the new Amazon warehouse located in the District's service area in Otay Mesa.

IT Operations: o MISAC Award - The District has been awarded the Municipal Information Systems Association of California’s (MISAC) 2024 “Excellence in IT Practices Award”, reflecting its commitment to leveraging technology for innovation, operational efficiency, and enhanced cybersecurity safeguards practices. This recognition highlights the organization’s dedication, selected as one of only eight recipients from over 90 public agencies, cities, and municipalities within a community of more than 1,000 members. 6 The “Excellence in IT Practices Award” acknowledges and promotes exemplary governance and operational practices in public agencies. The program offers two distinctions: Achievement and the higher Excellence level -- the District was recognized at the Excellence level. Participating organizations must conduct a detailed operational audit encompassing 12 key comprehensive areas, including strategic planning, technology project management, and disaster preparedness and recovery. The District’s IT Manager accepted the award at the recent MISAC conference. • Tyler Munis Implementation - The Board of Directors approved the contract with consultant, Koa Hills, to support the ERP implementation. Alongside District staff, the team will integrate Koa Hills into the implementation process. Staff efforts continue to include preliminary procurement processes, data conversions, and accounts payable. Purchasing & Facilities: • Evaluation and Adoption of UpKeep Maintenance Software - The Purchasing and Facilities (P&F) team, responsible for nearly 1,100 facility requests and preventative maintenance items annually, has completed its evaluation of UpKeep, a modern maintenance software platform, as a potential replacement for the current system, eMaint by Fluke Corporation. The evaluation focused on user functionality, operational efficiency, monitoring capabilities, and cost-effectiveness. 7 Real-Time Issue Reporting via UpKeep App - One of UpKeep's key advantages is its mobile app, which allows field staff to submit maintenance requests in real time. This feature simplifies and speeds up the reporting process by enabling staff to capture photos and submit requests directly from their mobile devices. In contrast, the current system requires field staff to email requests to an Admin, who then manually enters the information and attaches photos in eMaint. UpKeep eliminates delays and reduces data entry errors, improving the speed and accuracy of maintenance reporting. Advanced Monitoring with Edge Sensor Technology - UpKeep’s edge sensor technology offers advanced monitoring of temperature, humidity, run time, and vibration. This is particularly beneficial for the District’s critical pump stations, where continuous temperature monitoring of sensitive electrical equipment is essential. The system’s timely notifications, especially for temperature spikes caused by air conditioning failures, enable quick responses and help prevent costly damage. While eMaint offers sensor monitoring, UpKeep provides more seamless plug-and-play integration. Cost-Effectiveness and Flexible Pricing - UpKeep’s flexible pricing structure provides an economical solution tailored to the District's specific needs. This flexibility was a key factor in selecting UpKeep over eMaint, which offers more rigid pricing options. In conclusion, UpKeep offers clear advantages in real-time issue reporting, advanced sensor monitoring, and cost-effectiveness. Over 4,000 organizations across various industries, including utilities, healthcare, and manufacturing, use UpKeep to streamline maintenance operations and improve preventive maintenance. Case studies, such as District vendor Layfield Group, highlight operational improvements after adopting UpKeep. Given these benefits, P&F will proceed with adopting UpKeep, with full implementation expected by the end of October. 8 Safety & Security: • 32-hour Confined Space Entry Rescue & Emergency Services Training – Staff responsible for confined rescue completed and practiced a 32-hour non-entry, self-rescue, and entry rescue in a permit- required confined space.
