He also led multiple cross-functional teams in <br />the development of software applications and dashboards, including one that integrated as-built project information <br />from city staff, consultants, and contractors working on the Consent Decree (40+ projects; 80+ discrete users; <br />35,000 work orders; projects valued over $100 million) at no extra cost to the utility. <br /> <br />Scott has led the development of multi billion-dollar capital improvement plans in communities throughout the <br />country as both an employee and consultant. He has extensive experience with all elements of utility capital <br />planning, financing, and project delivery, particularly all fiduciary components related to enterprise funds (Water, <br />Wastewater, Stormwater, Solid Waste); rate structure analysis and recommendations to governing bodies; bond <br />sales and refinancing; long-term debt outlooks; and allocations of revenue and expense. At KC Water, he developed <br />an alternative capital plan that was utilized for the Consent Decree renegotiations with the EPA and reduced the <br />city’s commitment by $1.3 billion over the original program, while assuring more time to meet the tenants of the <br />decree. He also created the Business Case Evaluation model for capital improvement projects, which has been <br />recognized by the WEF Water Intraprenuers for Successful Enterprises (WISE) program of industry leaders. He <br />managed the successful selection (valued at $100 million) of State Revolving Funds (SRF) for the $160 million Blue <br />River Treatment Plant Solids Handling project. <br /> <br />Scott has been a frequent presenter at multiple national and regional conferences on topics including general asset <br />management, data management, and the application of asset management principles in specific operational and <br />administrative environments. He has written or been featured in several articles focused on business process <br />modeling, asset management, and water management and acts as a co-lead on the Water Environment Federation’s <br />WISE Data, Technology and Innovation team. He co-authored the white paper for WISE on the criteria and <br />approach to Business Case Evaluations in capital planning. <br /> <br />PUBLICATIONS <br />On asset management – A practitioner’s perspective - Raftelis by Scott Parker, July 2024. <br />“The Power of Business Process Modeling: Planning and Delivering Capital Improvements in Missouri” by <br />Scott Parker and Daniel Ott, Water Environment and Technology (WE&T), September 2022. <br />“Asset Management Opens the Door to Wastewater Treatment Improvement,” by Scott Parker and Brent <br />Herring, September 2019. <br />“Reinventing Water Management,” North America Outlook, Issue 1 (December 2020): 12-17. <br /> <br />NATIONAL AND REGIONAL PRESENTATIONS <br />2022 WEF Collections Systems Conference, Presenter <br />2022 AWWA/WEF Utility Manager’s Conference, Presenter <br />2020 AWWA/WEF Utility Managers Conference, Presenter <br />2020 Kansas Asset Management User Group (KAMUG) Conference, Presenter <br />2019 Mid-America Regional Council Urban Stormwater Conference, Presenter <br />2015 American Water Works Association Utility Management Conference, Presenter <br />2015 Transforming Local Government (TLG) Conference, Presenter <br />2013 American Water Works Association 2013 Sustainable Water Management Conference, Presenter <br />
