www.cityofkennedale.com Staff Report to the Honorable Mayor and City Council
Date: April 6, 2017
Agenda Item No: REGULAR ITEMS-A.
I. Subject:
Discuss and consider approving a recommendation to City Council regarding a capital projects rating
system
II. Originated by:
III. Summary:
At the Utility and Infrastructure Board meeting on February 2, 2017 the Board discussed and refined a
proposed capital projects rating system in the form of a rating matrix. Following detailed discussion the
Board postponed any formal action until the next meeting in order that each Board member could give
further consideration to the criteria and weighting of each element of the matrix. The purpose, as staff
understands the discussion, is to provide a tool that the city staff and City Council can use in the future to
evaluate and prioritize capital projects for budgeting and funding purposes.
The matrix is attached to this report and is provided as the basis for discussion at the April 6 UIB
meeting. It is recommended that the matrix be approved as a recommended tool for evaluation purposes
either as it is attached or with any changes determined appropriate by the Board.

Agenda Item No: REGULAR ITEMS- B.
I. Subject:
Discuss the future role of the Utility and Infrastructure Board (UIB)
II. Originated by:
III. Summary:
Pursuant to discussion between the UIB Chairman and the new Interim City Manager there appears to be
some benefit for further discussion and clarification as to the long term purpose of the Board pursuant to
the ordinance establishing the Board by the City Council.
This item has been placed on the agenda in order that the UIB can continue discussion, begun at the
Board's first meeting on January 5, 2017, regarding the role and purpose of the Utility and Infrastructure
Board. While the Board has had initial discussion regarding the role of the Board, the Chair and City
Manager believe additional discussion regarding the long term benefit that can derive from creation of the
Board will help promote productive work for future agenda considerations. Specifically, the following
meeting schedule and periodic recommendations from the Board regarding the items listed have been
identified by the City Manager as having potential and significant benefit to the Council:
1) Meet every other month or as needed
2) Purpose: Serve as an Advisory Board to the City Council regarding:
a) The budget proposed by the City Manager for Water, Wastewater, Storm Drainage and
Streets
b) Water, Wastewater, Storm Drainage and Solid Waste Rates and Fees
c) Contracts and bids related to Water, Wastewater, and Storm Drainage Capital Projects
