BAILEY, GENERAL MANAGER SUBJECT: RECEIVE REPORT ON STAFF ATTENDANCE AT WATER AND ENERGY EXCHANGE (WEX) GLOBAL 2019 CONFERENCE Central San's Director of Engineering and Technical Services, Jean-Marc Petit, attended the annual WEX Global 2019 Conference held in Portugal this past spring. The WEX Global Conference provides an exceptional opportunity to bring a diverse group of utilities, CEOs, consultants and specialists in the water and energy realm together to network and share ideas to move the industry forward. As part of this global exchange, Mr. Petit had been invited to participate on the Improving Energy Efficiency in Water and Wastewater Treatment discussion panel. The attached presentation represents a summary overview of that discussion and knowledge acquired at the conference.

"Clearly the circular economy represents both an obligation and an outstanding opportunity for many actors in the water sector." WEX GLOBAL 2019 PARTICIPATION • The Water and Energy Exchange(WEX)hosted their annual Global Conference in Portugal, Monday, March 4 through Wednesday, March 6,2019. • Director of Engineering and Technical Services Jean- Marc Petit was invited to participate at the WEX ---- Global conference to be on a panel to discuss Improving Energy Efficiency in Water and Wastewater Treatment. • WEX waived the conference registration and paid for hotel accommodations.Travel expenses was paid by Mr. Petit.
