<br />CITY OF LA PORTE <br />PUBLIC WORKS <br />DEPARTMENT <br /> <br />Memo <br /> <br />To: John Joerns, Interim City Manager <br />From: Steve Gillett, Director of Public Works <br />CC: Michael Dolby, Interim finance Director <br />La Porte Area Water Authority Board Members <br />Date: 7/27/2007 <br />Re: LPAWA SCADA System <br /> <br />The La Porte Area Water Authority approved the proposed FY 2007-2008 budget on <br />June 6, 2007. Since that time, the 20+ year old SCADA (Supervisory Control and <br />Data Acquisition) system used to monitor and control the Authority's transmission <br />system has failed. The proposed budget needs to be amended to fund the <br />replacement of this system, estimated at $150,000. <br /> <br />The Authority's fund balance is adequate for this expenditure. Additionally, the <br />unaudited City of Houston annual O&M Report indicates that operational costs for <br />last year were under budget, the Authority's share of the potential refund is almost <br />$150,000 (attached). <br /> <br />It is recommended that the proposed FY 2006-2007 LPAWA Budget be amended to <br />include an additional $150,000 for replacement of the SCADA System. <br /> <br />.
