DESCRIPTION: This project provides for the development, upgrade, and maintenance of local
area networks (LAN) at each of four departmental worksites; acquisition of equipment to
interconnect substations, water facilities, and existing networks; and integration of all information
critical to Water and Power (PWP) operations into the same, nonredundant database. It will further:
Install routers and firewalls in the Department's network structure;
Convert Water and Power documents and drawings to electronic format and
collect/validate field data;
Procure an Automated Data Collection/Bar Coding system for the Warehouse;
Convert the existing meter and transformer inventory system currently stored on the
HP into a client-server application; and
Clean existing data prior to beginning the conversion process.
JUSTIFICATION: The Department's October 1991 MIS study found that considerable time
savings, administrative and operational benefits would accrue if manual procedures were automated
and if existing "islands of automation" were integrated. This would eliminate large amounts of data
entry and re-entry performed by several groups, resulting in increased productivity and reduced
errors. The barcode project will save time and money by automating inventory utilizing hand-held
barcode readers and barcodes. These automated systems reduce time and labor required to perform
inventory counts and virtually eliminate data entry errors, thus enabling the department to collect
inventory accurately and efficiently at a lower cost and with greater integrity. The existing meter
and transformer inventory systems are outdated and not serving the department's current needs and
they need to be converted to a client-server type application.
SCHEDULE: The workplan for FY 2016 includes: vulnerability assessment (cyber
security/hacking) and implement assessment recommendations; IT upgrades pertaining to servers,
switches, data center utilities; SAN enhancements; and miscellaneous hardware/software upgrades.

DESCRIPTION: This project provides for the design and construction of a perchlorate treatment
system, including a disinfection facility, for the Sunset Reservoir wells. Initially the plant will treat
Bangham, Copelin and Sunset wells. Garfield and Villa wells may not need treatment depending
on State Department of Health Services restrictions on blending and future maximum contaminate
level requirements. The Sunset Reservoir wells were shut down in January 2002 when the State
lowered its action level for perchlorate. An investigation is being conducted to determine the source
of the perchlorate contamination affecting the Sunset Wells. Improvements and remediation to the
contamination will be ongoing.
JUSTIFICATION: Treating the Sunset Reservoir wells is essential to control the spread of the
perchlorate contamination plume in the groundwater. With treatment the City can resume using its
local water resources.
SCHEDULE: Construction of the disinfection facility at Sunset Reservoir will continue through
the second quarter FY 2016. The construction was delayed in FY 2015 due to a breach of contract
(non-performance) and subsequent termination of the construction company originally hired. The
project has since been redesigned and efforts to select a new contractor are underway. Construction
is expected to resume in the fourth quarter of FY 2016.
Efforts to locate the source of the perchlorate contamination of the Sunset Wells will continue in
FY 2016 and are ongoing until final resolution. PWP will continue to negotiate with the JPL
technical and legal teams to develop the planning and data needed to move forward with the
construction of the perchlorate treatment system.
RELATIONSHIP TO GENERAL PLAN: This project is consistent with the Public Facilities
Element Objective 1 by providing a high level of public service at minimum cost. The project is
also consistent with Objective 2 by providing a more efficient utilization of public facilities. In
addition, the project is consistent with Objective 5 by providing a high level of maintenance of
existing facilities.
IMPACT ON THE NORTHWEST: This project is located in Northwest Pasadena which is an
area targeted for revitalization.
HISTORY: This project was created and initially funded in FY 2005. The project was segmented

DESCRIPTION: This project provides for the replacement of the water systems' portion of the
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system that will seamlessly integrate all information from the
financial, human resources, payroll, and budget systems. The scope of this multi-year initiative
includes the analysis, selection, purchase and implementation of the software and hardware
necessary to replace and integrate these systems under a single ERP system.
JUSTIFICATION: The City of Pasadena's current financial system was implemented on July 1,
1997 and the current version is no longer supported by the vendor. In addition, various components
within this system are not integrated which results in numerous inconsistencies in the financial
information provided. Further, this system is not integrated with the human resources, payroll, and
budget systems. This non-integration requires extremely labor-intensive processes to validate the
information for accuracy, which results in an increased risk for human error.
An ERP system is a software package that can seamlessly integrate all information flowing through
an organization from a single information repository, including financial and accounting, human
resource information, payroll, budget, inventory, asset, customer information, and others. An ERP
system can deliver new management capabilities, improve operating efficiencies by streamlining or
eliminating inefficient manual processes, increase accuracy, and deliver real-time financial
information and reporting to City management. In the process, it will eliminate disparate stand-
alone systems, provide an opportunity to re-engineer processes with industry best practices and
templates, and establish a backbone structure that can be leveraged to handle all operational
processes.
SCHEDULE: The ERP is an enterprise project being coordinated through DoIT.
RELATIONSHIP TO THE GENERAL PLAN: This project is consistent with Public Facilities
Element Policy 202.0 by achieving a high level of public service through more efficient
management and greater work productivity.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATION: The budget includes the Water Fund's cost allocation for the
ERP project and additional PWP costs to build interface solutions to Tyler Munis.
HISTORY: This project was created as the Enterprise Resource Planning System (project 71149)
in FY 2013 and initially funded with Water Fund in FY 2015.

and at the same time improve the reliability of water supplies during periods of drought.
SCHEDULE: No work is anticipated for FY 2016. Work is expected to begin FY 2017 on a
feasibility study to determine the best location for the installation of a new groundwater well.
RELATIONSHIP TO GENERAL PLAN: This project is consistent with the Public Facilities
Element of the General Plan by helping to maintain a high level of service through more efficient
management of resources. It is also consistent with the Conservation element by encouraging a
more efficient utilization of the City's water resources.
OPERATING BUDGET IMPACT: The wells will permit greater purchases of MWD water at
reduced rates. The result will be a reduction in annual operating expenses.
HISTORY: This project was created and received initial funding in FY 1992.

DESCRIPTION: This project provides for the design, engineering, and construction of facilities
to treat Pasadena area water for increasing contaminant levels (nitrate, perchlorate, etc.).
JUSTIFICATION: Pasadena wells are slowly showing increasing contaminant levels and will
exceed State maximum contaminant levels in the near future. These facilities will treat the local
well water. Local well water is cheaper than imported water.
SCHEDULE: Work is expected to begin on a study to explore the best method of biological
treatment for nitrates and perchlorates at various wells.
RELATIONSHIP TO GENERAL PLAN: This project is consistent with the Public Facilities
Element of the General Plan by helping to ensure an adequate supply of safe potable water for
consumption.
HISTORY: This project was created and received initial funding in FY 1996.

DESCRIPTION: This project provides for the replacement of the document imaging and records
management system. The replacement system, an Enterprise Content Management (ECM) system
is expected to be used by all departments for document management needs and provide the
following core feature functions: document imaging, content management, records management, e-
forms, e-signatures, and automated workflow. The project will include the development of a
standard taxonomy (document indexing scheme) and updated records retention schedules based on
the taxonomy established per department.
JUSTIFICATION: The current imaging and records management system, which is an electronic
repository for all official City records, birth certificates, and planning and building permits, requires
replacement after nearly ten years in service. In addition, nearly every City department identified
document imaging, records management, automated workflow and e-forms as an efficiency and
cost savings solution during the development of the Five-Year IT Strategic Plan. Electronic
management of documents and other forms of content reduces the need for physical storage space,
which reduces office space requirements and storage fees. Staff performing clerical duties such as
copying and filing can be redirected to perform higher level functions and paper based processes
and routing can be streamlined using automated workflow. Compliance with records and archiving
policies will be greatly improved with features that include audit trails, permissions and digital
signatures.
SCHEDULE: No work is scheduled for FY 2016.
RELATIONSHIP TO THE GENERAL PLAN: This project is consistent with the Public
Facilities Element Policy 202.0 by providing a high level of public service through more efficient
management and greater work productivity.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATION: This project is also shown in the Electric System (Project 3204)
and Technology Projects Sections. The appropriate dollar amount is not included in the Category
Summary total for the Technology Projects Section to avoid duplication. This project sheet is the
Water System's portion of a larger project. The total estimated project cost is $400,000.
HISTORY: This project was created and fully funded in FY 2013.
