Minutes note: Patrick Pauli - Water Works Superintendent. Ald. Bauman said that this file has been introduced regarding the issue that just happened in Jackson, Mississippi and asked Mr. Pauli about our resiliency and where we stand. Mr. Pauli said that he just read an article about the poor infrastructure and systemic neglect in Jackson, Mi; and that we have a significant resiliency and great systemic maintenance. He added that the back up power generators are in order to maintain the service during a major power outage and that the flooding risk is barely low based on the 2010 rain records. He added that cyber security is a top priority and that a 2 week audit was conducted by a national consultant under the wing of the Homeland Security with good results. Mr. Pauli said that his major concern is that Water Works is operating at a 20% vacancy rate and that they are doing an outstanding job despite the vacancies. Ald. Bauman said that Mr. Pauli showed great commandment and invited him to anticipate to any new threats.
