Opening General SessionSunday, 10 a.m.–Noon

Speaker: Dave Barry, Pulitzer Prize-Winning Humorist…Best-Selling AuthorGet ready to laugh! From the daily grind to headline news…everything is fodder for humorist Dave Barry. Dave will kick-off the 2007 Congress with his wacky point of view on relation-ships, work, kids, technology, and life in general. His wit cuts right to the core of

life’s absurdities. Well-known for his formerly internationally-syndicated column, Dave won the Pulitzer Prize for Commentary in 1988 and immediately demanded a recount! He has also written more than 25 books, including Dave Barry’s Money Secrets and Dave Barry Slept Here: A Sort of History of the United States and has success-fully ventured into mystery and children’s book genres. Two of Dave’s books were the basis of the CBS TV sitcom “Dave’s World,” in which Harry Anderson played a much taller version of Dave. In his spare time, Dave is a tongue-in-cheek candidate for President of the United States and also plays lead guitar for a literary rock band, the Rock Bottom Remainders.

The Future—How Will Public Works and APWA Help to Shape It?Sunday September 9, 2007, 2–2:50 p.m.

Speaker: Larry Frevert, PE, President-Elect, American Public Works Association and Senior Municipal Program Manager, HDR, Kansas City, MOOur future will be dramati-cally different than today; it will also probably be different than we think it will be. How should the public works profession and the American Public Works Association step up to the challenges we face today and in the future?

A member of the public works profession for nearly 40 years and APWA for 20-plus years, Larry Frevert will take office as the President of APWA on September 9, 2007. Please join him in this special conversation that will help shape public works’ future agenda on such issues as our aging infrastructure, funding challenges, global warming, technological advances, a changing and diminishing workforce, increasing public pressure, and the continuing need for environmental stewardship. The world is at a crossroads and the public works profession and APWA are uniquely positioned to have enormous influence and impact on our communities’ well-being. Larry will share his vision and ask for your input to this essential conversation.

Leadership Skills for Developing Workforce ResiliencyMonday, September 10, 2007, 2–3:50 p.m.(Repeated) Tuesday, September 11, 2007, 1:30–3:30 p.m.

Speaker: Al Siebert, PhD, Director, The Resiliency Center, Portland, ORThe pressure is on to get more work done, of higher quality, in less time, with fewer people and less budget, while managing constant, disruptive change. Public works professionals know this scenario all too well.

Dr. Al Siebert, founder of The Resiliency Center and author of The Resiliency Advantage, will provide practical guidelines for increasing resil-iency in yourself, your work teams, and your organization. You will learn: how to hold up under pressure and be resilient during times of change; why some employees are more resilient than others; how to encourage your workforce to work with inner attitudes of service and professionalism; how to bounce back from unexpected difficulties and gain strength from distressing experiences; how resiliency is related to long life and good health.

The Perfect Storm: Recruitment, Retention, and EngagementMonday, September 10, 2007, 2–3:50 p.m.(Repeated) Tuesday, September 11, 2007, 1:30–3:30 p.m.

Speaker: Greg P. Smith, Founder and President of Chart Your Course Interna-tional, Conyers, GAOne of the most urgent issues facing public works leaders in this decade is workforce development. A convergence of prevailing winds is creating a “perfect storm” of concerns which need to be addressed now. Among them: a shrinking leadership pool due to an aging workforce; competition with the higher wages being offered by the private sector; less skilled workers entering jobs that require increasing technological and communication abilities; a highly diverse workforce bringing different values about job satisfaction.

Greg P. Smith, well-known management consultant and author, will offer ideas for how to attract star-performers into the public works profession, and for creating a high-retention culture offering employees a sense of purpose and job satisfaction.

thought leadersNew for 2007, in-depth Thought Leader sessions cover workforce development, psychology of professional and personal resiliency, and what the future holds for public works.

� One of the best “take-homes” from Congress is

the benefits from networking. APWA hosts the biggest forum where public works professionals from all over the world can meet and exchange ideas. Remember—it’s not just what you know, it’s WHO you know!

Networking Opportunities

•First-TimersMeeting Sunday, September 9, 7:30–9:30 a.m.

•GetAcquaintedParty Sunday, September 9, 5–7 p.m.

•ExhibitHall Sunday, September 9, Noon–4 p.m. Monday, September 10, 10 a.m.–3 p.m. Tuesday, September 11, 10 a.m.–2 p.m.

Tips for Successful Networking

1.Assert. Don’t be a shrinking violet. Even the shyest of people can say “hello” and extend a hand.

2.Organize. Carry your business cards—EVERYWHERE! Exchange cards with everybody you meet.

3.Circulate. When you meet a friendly, helpful person, it’s easy to monopolize them. Keep your conversation brief and move on. (See Tip #2.)

4.Participate. Speak up during roundtable discussions and ask questions during the education sessions. Your question might be the long-awaited answer for another person in the audience.

5.Followup. If you promised to do something for somebody you meet at Congress—follow up. Maintain your credibility as a reliable contact by keeping your word.

PublicWorksStormwaterSummit .45CEUsWednesday,September12,8a.m.–3:30p.m.

Do you have NPDES compliance issues? Do you know where to turn to solve these issues? Whether you are a Phase I or Phase II community, this Public Works Stormwater Summit is for you!

Stay on top of the latest NPDES news and other stormwater regulation compliance trends by attending this summit geared specifically to the interests and needs of public works and other municipal and county agencies grappling with the fact that stormwater management is more than just meeting EPA’s minimum control measures.

Regulators from the federal and state levels will give insight into enforce-ment actions occurring around the country and provide tips for staying clear of these issues.

Public Works Directors and Stormwater Managers will both benefit from a focused discussion of where your stormwater management program fits within your city or county’s organizational structure. Examine how other agencies are handling staffing issues, coordinating with other departments, and dealing with consultants.

Overall, you’ll be exposed to a diversity of ideas about strategies, prac-tices, and technologies that are currently being deployed and any new trends on the horizon. Topics will include erosion control issues, enforce-ment of illicit discharges, good housekeeping practices for data collection and reporting requirements, public education, and best management practices to control runoff including green roofs, porous pavement, and bio-retention measures.

There will be plenty of time for comments and questions from Summit participants, plus the opportunity to share what’s working for you now, what you might do differently if you had the chance, and your concerns for the future.

PLUS—Attendees at this Summit will participate in Keynoter Doug McKenzie-Mohr’s thought-provoking presentation called “Fostering Sustainable Behavior: Community-Based Social Marketing” at 11 a.m. * Additional $260 member/$295 nonmember fee applies if not registered for the full Congress week. St

Training the Public Works TrainerInstructors: John Ostrowski, Management Consultant, JOMC, Vancouver, WA; James Kralicek, Project Manager-Adult Learning, American Public Works Association, Kansas City, MO

Standing in front of the room and clicking through your PowerPoint® presentation is NOT training! Are you a public works content expert who has been tapped to train your coworkers or share your expertise at chapter-sponsored or APWA National workshops? Maybe you’ve recognized that you have a wealth of technical knowledge and skill but have not volunteered to share it because you lack the presentation skills to get your point across. Take advantage of this special opportunity to be a better trainer. Learn how to adjust your instructional style and techniques to the needs of your audience; organize and plan your presentation; and present more dynamically so that your point is made and the audience is better able to retain and apply what they’ve learned. APWA Chapters that host conferences and workshops and/or are participating in APWA’s Public Works Institute program should encourage your speakers and trainers to sign up for this opportunity to improve their presenta-tion skills.

A Demo! Innovative Street Reconstruction Technologies Instructors: Larry Peirce, Executive Director, Lime Association of Texas, Austin, TX; Harry Bush, PE, Manager of Technical Services-Asphalt Production, Vulcan Materials Company, San Antonio, TX; Gary Fitts, PE, Senior District Engineer, Asphalt Institute, San Antonio, TX

Here’s your chance to not only hear about innovative street construction materials and processes but to SEE an actual project firsthand! This workshop will begin in the classroom with an overview of the various phases of a street reconstruction project from the sub-grade layer up through the pavement base and surface layers. Then we’ll transport you to the city streets of San Antonio for an onsite demonstra-tion of a project with poor subgrade soils that have been lime stabilized. For the overlying base layers, a reclaimed asphalt emulsion-stabi-lized base layer will be placed upon the lime stabilized subbase. The pavement surface will be an innovative type of asphalt pavement known as “warm-mix asphalt.” At the conclusion of this workshop, you’ll be able to analyze how these processes perform during the various phases of a project and evaluate whether these materials and technolo-gies will work for the streets and roads in your jurisdiction.

San Antonio River Improvements Project

Most people have heard of San Antonio’s River Walk along the historic San Antonio River. Yet miles of untapped potential lie beyond downtown and the Paseo del Rio. The San Antonio River improvements project is a $140 million city, county, and federal invest-ment in flood control, amenities, ecosystem restoration, and recreational improvements. The classroom portion of this workshop will highlight the concerted community effort involved in this river revitalization project. We’ll discuss the planning, design, project management, and construction phases and describe how funding was obtained for these efforts. Then, you’ll take to the river to visit the various sites impacted by this project. This is a not-to-be missed opportunity to see this tremendous project first-hand.

Workshop .25CEUs8–10:45a.m.

Back to Basics—World-Class Hiring, Orientation, Training, and Evaluation to Create and Meet Performance Standards(Workshoprepeatedat1:30p.m.)Instructor: Alex Semilof, PhD, Human Resources Manager, IntraHealth International, Chapel Hill, NC

Many public agencies spend countless hours and dollars trying to counterbalance for poor hiring decisions and an inability to properly train and hold employees accountable for performance. Learn to improve your skills and systems for interviewing, hiring, orienting, and training new employees. Arm yourself with the knowledge to better: identify the skills needed for specific job responsibilities; ask behavioral interview ques-tions that identify which candidates possess the right skills and attitudes; conduct orientation programs that have meaning; establish ongoing training programs that ensure that new and existing employees are meeting performance standards; and provide performance feedback and coaching for all employees.


Equipment Replacement Strategies and Fleet Charge-Back Systems: What Do I Need to Know?Instructor: William E. DeRousse, Fleet Manager, City of Everett, WA

Fleet Managers—how do you determine equipment replacement life cycles? Where do you acquire the funds to replace aging equipment? Learn to identify the factors that influence equipment replacement. Discover how to determine whether the costs of a vehicle repair exceeds its remaining useful life. This workshop will also cover fleet charge-back systems. Do you know what your full-burden rate is? Are the fees that you pay for accounting, purchasing, IT, legal, HR, janito-rial services and building rental competitively priced to you? How do you credit back to your customers any warranty reimbursement that you receive? You’ll get the answers to these questions and more, by attending this workshop.


Managing the Urban Forest 101Instructors: Chris Boyer, Registered Professional Forester, Acting Director of Operations; Kevin Lilley, Certified Arborist, Facilities Operations Manager; and Alex Johnson, Registered Professional Forester and Certified Arborist, Urban Forestry Manager, Department of General Services, City of Durham, NC

Urban forests have impact on the health and quality of life issues facing all urban, suburban, or small city residents including air and water quality, shade and climate control, animal habitat, recreational opportunities, and overall aesthetics and streetscape. Urban foresters from the City of Durham, North Carolina, will share the challenges they encountered in establishing their program. Examine how they balanced the wants and desires of municipal officials, staff, citizens, and other stakeholders against the challenges presented by an aging infrastructure and the pressures of new development. Learn to identify and implement the components of a successful urban forestry management plan including choosing the right trees and vegetation for the right place, minimizing sidewalk and curb damage, and preparing for storm damage.

Telling Your Story! Gaining Community Respect through Effective Public Outreach and Media RelationsInstructors: Michele J. Lovenduski, Senior Management Analyst, Department of Public Works, City of Irvine, CA; Monica Ramos, Public Relations Manager, Department of Public Works, City of San Antonio, TX

What’s your public works story? Who do you tell? How often and in how many ways do you tell it? Most in the general public don’t think about public works until they perceive a gap in service, i.e., the storm drain down the block clogs, the snowplow hasn’t made it to their block yet, or storm debris is not cleaned up immediately. Have fun learning from two public information pros as they guide you through the components of a community outreach plan, how to select the public works stories you want to tell, presentation tips for those times you have to appear before the city council or a neighborhood group, and how to build relationships with the media that will make both you and the reporters happy.


Pre-Planning Traffic Incident Response at High-Accident IntersectionsInstructor: Howard McCann, Director, Texas Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) Texas Engineering Extension Service, College Station, TX

Intersections are ranked high on most communities’ lists of “top ten” accident loca-tions. “Quick clearance” programs are one of the most effective tools that can be used to minimize the negative impacts of traffic incidents. “Quick clearance” can be enhanced through pre-incident planning involving a coordinated effort between all responders—including police, fire, EMS, private towing companies and, of course, public works. Gain a working knowledge of: relevant industry standards related to traffic incident management; methods to implement incident command procedures; roadway space manage-ment techniques including lane closures and the use of response apparatus to protect the scene and facilitate traffic flow; and tools for pre-planning traffic incident management.

Workshop/OnsiteDemonstration .3CEUs1:30–4:30p.m.

TransGuide—Technology in Motion

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to see San Antonio’s TransGuide intelligent transpor-tation system in action! This “smart highway” project provides information to motorists about traffic conditions, including accidents, congestion, and construction. Using cameras, message signs, and fiber optics, TransGuide can detect travel times and relay that information to motorists. TransGuide also transmits a live video feed to local TV stations that can pick and choose which camera will be shown during live traffic updates. This workshop will begin in the classroom with a presentation highlighting the steps taken to implement this system including obtaining funding, challenges/pitfalls encountered in the design and implementation, and benefits/successes achieved. Then you’ll hop on a bus to see TransGuide at work! You’ll get a tour of the TransGuide head-quarters to see the behind-the-scene operations of this innovative system.

Learn to improve your skills and systems for interviewing, hiring, orienting, and training new employees. Arm yourself with the knowledge to better: identify the skills needed for specific job responsibilities; ask behavioral interview ques-tions that identify which candidates possess the right skills and attitudes; conduct orientation programs that have meaning; establish ongoing training programs that ensure that new and existing employees are meeting performance standards; and provide performance feedback and coaching for all employees.



Beyond Brochures—Community-Based Social MarketingInstructor: Doug McKenzie-Mohr, PhD, McKenzie-Mohr & Associates, Fredericton, NB, Canada

Most people know that to protect the environ-ment, they should recycle more, water their lawns less, get out of the car and take a multi-tude of other steps to reduce their ecological footprint. But, as often as not, the actions people take are not consistent with what they know to be true. In fact, research demonstrates that simply providing information usually has little or no effect on what people do. So if you have bombarded the neighborhood with brochures, developed a really good-looking and functional website—and—residents still continue with their old behaviors, what’s your next step? Learn how to identify the barriers to a desired behavior; how to use behavior change tools to design more effective programs; and how to evaluate the impact of a program once it is implemented.


Public Works: Planning for and Responding to a Terrorism/WMD IncidentInstructor: Vince Slominski, Program Coordinator, Public Works/WMD Training, Texas Engineering Extension Service (TEEX), Texas A&M University System, College Station, TX

Public infrastructure is an obvious target of terrorism. How can you ensure that your public works employees are prepared for their crucial role in protecting, restoring and maintaining critical infrastructure and public services during a catastrophic disaster? This workshop will provide an overview of the steps to developing a multi-disciplined incident management team capable of responding to a terrorism incident. Learn what kind of training is necessary and where to find it.

APWA is the number one source for continuing education that addresses the full gamut of public works topics. For 2007, we have revised our program format to offer more focused solutions and hands-on learning opportunities. On pages 15–23, you’ll find educa-tion sessions listed by subject. Starting on page 24 you can find daily charts to help you maximize your time at Congress. Session descriptions start on page 32.

CEU Credits.1 CEU = 1 PDH (Professional Development Hour)APWA’s education sessions are eligible for CEU credit. The CEU is a nationally accepted measure of participation in continuing education activities, and by obtaining them, you can demonstrate to your employer that you are learning new skills and keeping current with changes in the industry. You’ll find instructions in your onsite materials about how to receive these valuable credits. To view the learning objectives for each session, visit www.apwa.net/congress.

CD-ROMsSelected live audio digital recordings of the general sessions and education sessions will be made available via an interactive MP3 CD-ROM package series. Additional content includes the speakers’ PowerPoint® presentations, an exhibitor directory, and information about upcoming events. Full Congress registrants may order the package in advance at a discounted price of $119. The CD-ROMs can also be purchased onsite for $129 or after Congress for $229.

Emerging Public Works LeadersFor 2007, APWA has updated its annual Emerging Public Works Leaders Program.

These individuals are paired with experienced public works professionals who will encourage career development, provide networking training, and help first-timers get the most benefit from the APWA Congress and Exposition.

The tunnel also encompasses a water feature, park-like facilities, betterments, channelization, and tunnel recirculation to assist in flood control. In fact, this may be the only tunnel that can reverse the direction of the water flow! During the tour participants will learn about the massive construction effort to bring the project to fruition, tunnel operation, and how the structure is maintained. In 1998 the City was awarded the Texas Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement Award by the Texas section of the American Society of Civil Engineers. Additionally, visitors from as far as Japan have come to San Antonio to visit the tunnel in hopes of duplicating the facility for their municipality.

Maximizing Community Resources by Developing Multi-Purpose Facilities: Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and Brooks City-Base Emergency Operations CenterWednesday, September 12, 1–4 p.m. - $25Ever wonder if city and county services could be consolidated? Consolidation of city/county services is often considered when exploring means of maximizing community resources, and San Antonio will soon be embarking on such an initiative when the City of San Antonio and the County of Bexar bring together the offices of Emergency Management into a new 35,000-square-foot joint use facility. This facility will house city, county, regional, state and federal departments and personnel for the purpose of gathering, evaluating and distrib-uting critical information, and implementing responsive actions in the event of a natural or man-made emergency or disaster. Come and tour this state-of-the-art facility and learn how San Antonio and Bexar County collaborated to make this $24.5-million joint project a reality.

A new era of innovation was born in the summer of 2002 in San Antonio when the United States Air Force conveyed the entire Brooks Air Force Base property to the Brooks Development Authority (BDA) creating the nation’s first-and-only City-Base. Today, Brooks City-Base stands as San Antonio’s premier center for bioscience, academic, environmental and technical research. Participants will be able to tour this 1,246-acre site which includes over two million square feet of lab space, office space, light industrial facilities and recreation/fitness areas and see how effective partnerships produce first-rate results.

Designing Livable Communities: Pearl Brewery Redevelopment ProjectWednesday, September 12, 1–4 p.m. - $25While beer is no longer brewed at this facility, you can still grab a cold one! See redevelopment at its finest. Rio Perla Properties, L.P., has rede-veloped the Pearl Brewery site, a San Antonio landmark, into an impressive mixed-use development. Participants will get an in-depth overview of one of San Antonio’s premier private/public partnerships and will be able to tour the development site, which incorporates historic preservation, Smart Growth, green building technology, and many other design elements that will make this area a livable community.
