Customer Information System (CIS) Replacement Project Update
GUS Board Meeting 11/14/14
The current system is a COBOL based system purchased in the mid-90’s with a major upgrade in
2001. The existing system scalability, customer pricing options, and integration potential with other
utility systems is severely limited. A workshop was presented to Council in May 2014 that provided
an overview of the project.
The timing of this project has been impacted by the implementation of other utility software systems
such as the Enterprise Asset Management and Advanced Metering Infrastructure completed in
October, as well as, the acquisition of the Chisholm Trail Special Utility Water District.
GUS released a request for proposal (RFP) on September 26, 2014 for Consulting Services to assist
in assessing the City’s current utility objectives, evaluating current technology and CIS products to
determine the necessary requirements for a replacement CIS , and to assist in acquiring and
implementing such a system.
Responses were received in late October and evaluated in early November. The evaluation
committee was comprised of a multi-divisional team from Customer Care & Finance, Utility
Operations, and Information Technology.
A contract with the committee’s unanimous choice will be presented at the December GUS meeting
for discussion and recommendation to Council in January.
The deliverables within the RFP scope included the following:
Phase I: Assessment, Evaluation, Implementation Planning, & Acquisition – Cost $141,870
Documentation of customer
service vision and objectives
Diagraming & Documentation of
Business Processes
Translating Business Processes

A. Call to Order – Called to order by Vice Chair Kostka at 2:00PM
Georgetown Utility Systems Advisory Board may, at any time, recess the Regular Session to convene
an Executive Session at the request of the Chair, a Board Member, the City Manager, Assistant City
Manager, General Manager of Utilities, City Council Member, or legal counsel for any purpose
authorized by the Open Meetings Act, Texas Government Code Chapter 551, and are subject to action

B. Introduction of Visitors
Discussion: McAndrews was introduced.
Employee Recognition
– Jason Casey – Spencer Green
Discussion: Recognition by Dishong for Customer Service and Public Service:
Jason Casey – Lineman – Public Service Recognition: Letter to City Manager – helped with traffic
accident.
Spencer Green – Water Service – Customer Service Recognition: Letter to City Manager from
business owner in Georgetown. Resolved 20-year sewer back-up issue.
C. Discussion regarding the Project Progress Report, timelines including projects and Council Actions. –
Michael Hallmark, Project Manager
Discussion: Hallmark noted reports included in packet. No further discussion. One question by
Pastor – Is this the project by Jim Hogg Park? Wes – Yes it is the same project and it will be
addressed further - later on the agenda.
D. Industry Updates
Discussion: Briggs provided update on EPA Air Quality rule that will affect power providers.
Update on merger with CTSUD – long range planning for service territory. Development of
South Water Treatment Plant. Salamander rule might make that site a little bit difficult to
develop. Look at options of coming from the north side where it is less environmentally sensitive.
Very preliminary – nothing set in stone – but will begin discussing options South Water
Treatment Plant. Zebra mussels in area lakes – but not in our lakes - Stillhouse or Georgetown
yet. It is an invasive species – infiltrates pumps and pipes and clog things up. They also kill
native species of mussels. This adds to the cost of water treatment to remove them from pipes
and pumps.

interconnection package and execute a distributed generation
contract with the City to install a D-REG system.
2. Non-residential customers that are ten kW or larger may purchase
or install a D-REG system, but must negotiate a more
comprehensive contract with the City, before construction can
begin.
B. Application. Available to customers with a solar, wind, geothermal, biomass,
hydrogen fuel cell or any renewable energy powered device that generates ten kW
or less of electric power at a voltage of 600 volts or less from a residential or small
commercial electric service at a customer's premise or at an off-site location that is
connected to the City's electric distribution system.
C. Method of Charge.
1. Definitions.
NET Meter = City generated kWh less D-REG generated
kWh that is used at the premise.
DEL = City generated kWh that is delivered to and used at
the premise.
RCVD = D-REG generated kWh that is not used at the
premise and pushed out to the grid.
REC = Total renewable kWh generated by the D-REG
system.
Standard rate = The current adopted electric rate for the
applicable rate class for which the electric service qualifies.
2. Aggregated Meter Rate. Customers installing a D-REG system will
pay the sum of the following calculations:
a. The customer will be charged at the standard
electric rate for all kWh consumed at the premise:
DEL + (REC-RCVD) x standard rate
b. The customer will be credited the embedded power
cost for all kWh generated by the D-REG system:
REC x embedded power cost
3. Customers that choose to invest in a D-REG system that does not
qualify for a City provided incentive, but does qualify for system
installation (i.e. a low efficiency rating) will pay the aggregated
meter rate. No incentive will be provided.
D. Incentives. To encourage the installation of qualifying renewable generation, there
are incentive programs for which qualifying applicants may apply, in order to defray
a portion of the costs associated with the installation of a D-REG system.

this rebate, to the City for the City's use, as it may
choose.
b. Customers may petition, in writing, to retain the
environmental attributes and/or credits, including any
RECs, carbon off-set credits, or similar
environmental credits derived from the renewable
energy production in order to achieve or maintain
LEED Certification or any other energy efficiency
designation requiring the retirement of RECs in the
customer's name.
c. Revenue from the sale of RECs, by the City, is
designated for renewable energy incentive programs
sponsored by the City.
2. Net Metering. Net metering is an incentive program that is available
to qualifying customers that have signed a distributed generation
contract with the City and have successfully connected a D-REG
system to GUS's electric distribution system.
a. Customer must purchase the REC meter that is
installed and used by the City to register the
renewable kWh generated at the premise.
b. If a premise uses more electricity than the D-REG
system produces, within a single billing month, the
customer pays for the non-netted, GUS provided
electricity at the standard rate:
(DEL kWh - RCVD kWh) x standard rate
c. If a premise uses less electricity than the D-REG
system produces, the customer is provided a credit
equal to the embedded power cost for every the
standard rate x the total D-REG generated kWh that
flow back to the City's electric distribution system:
(DEL kWh - RCVD kWh) x embedded power cost
standard rate
d. Payment for D-REG power is only available provided
to the customer in the form of a credit against the
customer's utility bill at the upgraded premise. Cash
will not be paid for D-REG generated kWh. A credit
on the customer account, after all applicable account
