After some discussion at their February 2 meeting, the LPAWA Board directed the General Manager to weric through the co- owners committee and to follow the lead of the City of Pasadena as the largest water consumer other tban COH. The co- owners committee minus COH bas met a 1 number of tines since the February 2 meeting. information gathering by the committee included meetings with a local attorney, also a litigating attorney from Dallas, and an independent accountant. The co- owners group also heard presentations from two engineenng firms that submitted proposals to prepare new agreements that would govern the plant operator and the plant manager moving forward. A recap of the particularly relevant items follows for the Board's consideration: The SE Houston Plant owned by area governmental agencies. THIS IS NOT A CITY OF HOUSTON PLANT. • The City of Houston is: a) operator by contract with the ownership group (since 2005) and b) plant manager (since at least 2001). They are paid $600,000 + annual cpi -u adjustments for plant manager and reimbursed O &M costs per the operator's agreement. The City of Houston lobbied for and received a contract as plant operator in 2005 claiming that they could run the plant more economically than the contract operator at the titre. The contract with- the previous o perator was terminated. The rates have increased 40% since. o The operator (COH) is governed by a manager /operator's agreement. Several pages fi-otn the operators agreement is attached (Appendix D). Key sections to note: 0 4.2.3 — the operator mast submit their final accounting of the O &M costs within 180 -days of the managing member's fiscal year (June 30 in this case). [Tire 2009 true -up was submitted one -year beyond 180 -days (Appendix Q. 2010 submitted several months beyond the 1S0- days (Appendix F). Also these submittals did not qualify as an audited report required by the operator's agreement.] o 4.2.2 — the managing member is to submit quarterly reports to keep the co- owners apprised of costs in relation to the budget. [Clearly the introduction of 30% "true -up" charges several months or several years after the close of the fiscal year accounting period is contrary to the spirit of this provision.] o 4.2.3, 4.2.4, 4.2.5 -- these sections discuss the need for audited accounting of each year's billings to the co-owners. [An audited report must accompany the annual true up invoices. The report submitted by the City of Houston as the independent audit included this statement provided by the accounting firm: "We we not engaged to, and did not conduct an audit, the objective of which would be the expression of an opinion on the accounting records. "] o 4.4 — the managing member can hold a contingency but it SHALL NOT exceed $1,000,000. COH currently holds approximately $2,000,000 set aside as contingency and continues to add a 2.5% surcharge to their invoices to the co- owners adding to the contingency balance. 0 Page 2 • The City of Houston advised the co- owners that if they do not contest the 2009 and 2010 true -up invoices, COH will not bill 2007 and 2008. • The attorneys advising the co- owners suggest that the owners are on solid ground in refusing to pay the 2009 true -up invoice and reasonably solid ground for the 2010 true -up. • Potential worst -case exposure for the co- owners (combined): a) 10% annual interest for unpaid balances, b) $300,000 - $500,000 attorney fees, c) double attorney fees if determined that the co- owners are to by COH legal fees, d) attorneys suggest no chance we lose our water rights and no chance they shut off water — a judge wouldn't allow it. • On May 12, 2011 the co- owners, after consulting with their attorneys, advised the City of Houston that the owners will look for another operator and manager for the SE Plant. • The LPAWA response to the COH 2009 and 2010 true -up invoices are included in Appendices F and li respectively. With regard to the 2009 invoice, COH's reply to the LPAWA response is also included with Appendix E. Agenda Item 7: Consider Approval of an interlocal Agency Agreement 'vvith the City of Pasadena for Reimburseinent to the City of Pasadena for Expenses Related to a Potential Change in both the Manager and Operator of the SE Houston 'Water Purification Plant, The costs associated with contesting the City of Houston invoices includes legal, accounting, and engineering. The City of Pasadena will enter into professional services contracts as needed for the completion of this work, Pasadena will be billed directly and in turn invoice each co -owner for their prorated share of the expense based on the co- owner's annual water consumption. Before executing the agreement, the Board will need to know if any of the other owners are declining to share in the cost which would increase the LPAWA share. The draft agreement is included in (Appendix G). Costs that might be anticipated include $395,000 for an engineering firm to prepare a scope of services and new contracts for the plant operator and plant manager, roughly estimate $10,000 for independent audit, perhaps $300,000 - $500,000 in legal fees assuming litigation and a trial. If all owners participate, the LPAWA share of the expenses (8 %) would be in the range of $56,000 to $72,000. One engineering firm indicated that they would be able to manage the plant for considerably less money than the owners now pay to the City of Houston. As much as $350,000 a year less. Accepting this to be the case, the LPAWA share of the savings would be $28,000 /year, and the break -even point is less than 3 -years out. The required time to break -even is accelerated if there is any savings at all on the O &M side which seems likely.
