[1. RECEIVE AND DISCUSS REPORTS FROM KIMLEY-HORN, PRESENTING FINDINGS OF THE 2022 WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT MASTER PLAN AND 2022 WATER TREATMENT PLANT MASTER PLAN. NO ACTION REQUIRED.]

FROM KIMBERLY HORN PRESENTING FINDINGS OF THE 2022 WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT MASTER PLAN AND 2022 WATER TREATMENT MASTER PLAN.

THERE'S NOT ANY ACTION REQUIRED.

I THINK EARL WANTS TO SAY A FEW COMMENTS BEFORE ANDREW SIMMONS GIVES A PRESENTATION. EARL, YOU'RE UP.

>> THANKS, BOB. HI, EVERYBODY.

I JUST WANT TO TAKE A MINUTE AND REMIND US HOW WE GOT TO THIS SPOT TONIGHT.

YOU RECALL AND YOU KNOW THAT THERE'S A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY GOING ON IN THE CITY NOW.

WE'VE BEEN PAYING ATTENTION TO PROJECT THE WATER AND WASTEWATER FLOWS.

THE CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZED US TO ENTER INTO THE ENGINEERING AGREEMENT TO PERFORM THESE STUDIES BY LAST SEPTEMBER.

TONIGHT WE'VE WORKED THROUGH THIS THING, AND I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO GREG, JOE GWEN, RODY BOSTON AT THE WASTEWATER PLANT AND TONY [INAUDIBLE] AT THE WATER PLANT.

WE'VE HAD A FEW MEETINGS WITH KIMBERLY HORN TO GO THROUGH DETAILS ON THIS STUDY TO GET IT WHERE WE THINK WE CONCUR WITH IT.

I WANT TO THANK JEFF JAMES, AND ANDREW, SIMON, CINDY, KYLE, CABESSTA, WERE THE MAIN ENGINEERS WE WORKED WITH, ALTHOUGH THEY HAD A TEAM OF ENGINEERS INVOLVED IN THIS PROJECT TOO.

BUT ALL THESE GUYS WERE PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS.

WE THINK WE'VE GOT A GOOD STUDY. WE LIKE IT.

YOU'LL GET THE PART OF IT THAT YOU WON'T LIKE.

BUT ANYWAY, WITH THAT, I'LL HAND IT OVER TO ANDREW. THANK YOU.

>> THANKS, EARL. EARL, I APPRECIATE THE TIP.

MY NAME IS ANDREW SIMMONS AND WITH KIMBERLY HORN.

I'M ALSO GOING TO PRESENT WITH KYLE CABESSTA TONIGHT.

AS EARL SAID, WE'VE COMPLETED THE MASTER PLANS SO REALLY THE PURPOSE OF THIS MEETING TONIGHT IS TO PRESENT OUR FINDINGS AND THEN HAVE DISCUSSION REGARDING THE NEXT STEPS.

BEFORE WE DIVE IN, I JUST WANTED TO SECOND WITH EARL.

IS THIS IS STILL WORKING? ABOUT WHAT EARL SAID ABOUT THANKING STAFF.

IT'S ALWAYS A PLEASURE WORKING WITH STAFF HERE, ESPECIALLY EARL, GREG, JOE, TONY, RODY, EVERYONE THAT HAD A PIECE AND THIS IS ALWAYS A PLEASURE WORKING WITH THEM.

THE AGENDA FOR THIS EVENING IS BASICALLY FOUR PARTS.

FIRST PART IS DEMAND PROJECTIONS.

REALLY THAT'S JUST GOING TO BE A REVIEW OF WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT LAST NOVEMBER.

WHAT'S THE BASIS FOR THESE PLANS AND FOR THESE EXPANSIONS? THE SECOND PART AND THE THIRD PART, I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO KYLE TO TALK THROUGH SOME OF THE SPECIFICS AT EACH PLANT IN SOME OF OUR FINDINGS.

FINALLY, THE FOURTH PIECE IS THE SUMMARY AND DISCUSSION ON THE NEXT STEPS.

ARE YOU DRIVING? WOULD YOU GO TO THE THIRD SLIDE FOR ME? LIKE I SAID, REVISITING THE DEMAND PROJECTIONS, WHEN WE LOOKED AT THIS, WE CAME UP WITH A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT SCENARIOS OF WHAT THE POTENTIAL [OVERLAPPING]

>> I'M SO SORRY.

>> YEAH.

>> THANK YOU. YOU'RE READING MY MIND.

I WAS LIKE, CAN YOU BAM THAT UP A LITTLE BIT? THANK YOU. SO SORRY TO INTERRUPT.

>> NO WORRIES. WE LOOKED AT A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT SCENARIOS AT WHAT COULD THE POTENTIAL GROWTH FOR THE CITY LOOK LIKE.

BASICALLY HOW THAT GROWTH CAN IMPACT THE WATER AND WASTEWATER USAGE? THERE'S FIVE DIFFERENT SCENARIOS THAT WE TOOK A LOOK AT.

WE REALLY WANTED TO BE MORE CONSERVATIVE SO WE DIDN'T GET CAUGHT UNAWARE WITH PLANNING OUT THESE PLANS.

WHAT WE DID IS WORKING WITH EARL AND DAJER, WE LOOKED AT WHAT ARE SOME OF THE PROJECTED DEVELOPMENTS COMING INTO THE CITY IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS? WHAT MIGHT THAT SUCCESS RATE BE? WHAT MIGHT THOSE DEVELOPMENTS ACTUALLY DEVELOP INTO A REAL PROJECT? JUST TO BE CONSERVATIVE, WE LOOKED AT A 75 PERCENT RATE.

WHAT THAT GENERATES IS THAT GREEN LINE THAT YOU SEE AT THE TOP OF THE GRAPH.

BASICALLY SOME PRETTY AGGRESSIVE GROWTH.

BUT LOOKING AT WHAT THAT, SOME OF THOSE DEVELOPMENTS THAT WE'RE SEEING THAT MIGHT ACTUALLY BE A REALISTIC IF A LOT OF THOSE CONVERT INTO REAL PROJECTS.

NEXT SLIDE. WHENEVER WE TAKE THAT POPULATION GRAPH AND CONVERT IT TO WATER, WE START TO CONVERT THAT INTO FLOW AND MILLIONS OF GALLONS OF DAY.

AGAIN, LOOKING AT THE GRAPHS, LOOKING AT THAT GREEN ONE BASICALLY REPRESENTING OUR PROJECTIONS, TODAY YOU'RE FLOATING AROUND THAT 0.5, 0.6 MGD ON AN AVERAGE WASTEWATER USAGE.

IF YOU FOLLOW THAT GREEN LINE, YOU CAN SEE HOW WE'RE PROJECTING THAT OUT INTO THE FUTURE.

YOU'LL SEE WE'VE HIGHLIGHTED A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT BLACK LINES THAT, OBVIOUSLY HAVE SIGNIFICANT 1.2 MGD BEING THE CAPACITY OF YOUR EXISTING PLANT.

[00:05:01]

THEN 2.4 BEING THE RECOMMENDED UPGRADE THAT WE HAD DISCUSSED BACK IN NOVEMBER.

YES, SIR. GOING FROM A 1.2-2.4 MGD PLANT. NEXT SLIDE.

OBVIOUSLY THE NEXT STEP IS LOOKING AT YOUR WATER USAGE.

TODAY YOU'VE GOT A 3.0 MGD PLANT.

LOOKING AT THAT RED LINE REPRESENTS YOUR MAXIMUM DAY HISTORICAL USAGE.

BASICALLY WHAT IS YOUR WORST DAY THEN DURING THE SUMMER, THE LAST FIVE YEARS.

YOU CAN SEE WE'RE FLOATING AROUND 2.5, 2.75 MGD FOR THAT WORST DAY DURING THE SUMMER.

AGAIN, RECOMMENDING TO GO FROM A THREE MGD PLANT TO A 6.0 MGD PLANT FOR THAT EXPANSION.

BEFORE WE DIVE INTO THE SPECIFICS OF EACH STUDY, WERE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE DEMAND PROJECTIONS? AGAIN, THIS WAS JUST REVISITING WHAT WE HAD DISCUSSED BACK IN NOVEMBER.

>> [INAUDIBLE]

>> YOU'RE GOING EXACTLY WHERE OUR SUMMARY SLIDE AT THE END IS.

BUT WE'LL ADDRESS THAT RIGHT AT THE END OF THE PRESENTATION.

I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO KYLE TO TALK THROUGH THE SPECIFICS OF EACH PLANT.

>> THANKS, ANDREW. I'LL GO THROUGH WHAT WE ACTUALLY DID FOR EACH OF THE FACILITIES AND TALK THROUGH THE DETAILS OF WHAT THOSE REPORTS INCLUDE.

WHAT YOU'RE SEEING ON THE SLIDE RIGHT NOW IS THE LOCATION OF YOUR EXISTING WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT.

LIKE ANDREW HAD MENTIONED, IT'S A 1.2 MGD CONVENTIONAL ACTIVATED SLUDGE FACILITY.

WE TOOK A LOOK AT EACH OF THE INDIVIDUAL TREATMENT UNITS.

IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, THIS IS AN AERIAL VIEW OF YOUR EXISTING WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT AND IT HIGHLIGHTS THE DIFFERENT UNITS THAT ARE AT YOUR FACILITY TODAY.

WE LOOKED AT THOSE FROM A REDUNDANCY RELIABILITY STANDPOINT AND THEN ALSO LOOKED AT THEM FROM A CAPACITY STANDPOINT TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY ADDITIONAL CAPACITY WE COULD GET OUT OF THE UNITS.

ALL THOSE UNITS, I'M GOING TO HIGHLIGHT JUST A FEW OF THE EXAMPLES THAT WE LISTED IN THE REPORT.

YOU'VE GOT IT. THIS IS A PICTURE OF YOUR EQUALIZATION BASIN.

JUST AS AN EXAMPLE OF THE INVESTIGATION THAT WE DID, WE LOOKED AT THE REDUNDANCY, THE RELIABILITY OF EACH UNIT.

YOUR EQUALIZATION BASIN IS ONE OF THE FIRST UNITS THAT HELPS EQUALIZE SOME OF THE FLOW.

THERE WERE SOME ISSUES JUST WITH THE MIXING THAT'S OCCURRING IN YOUR EQUALIZATION BASIN.

IDENTIFYING THAT AS A DEFICIENCY THAT NEEDS TO GET ADDRESSED IN THE FUTURE TO HELP WITH OPERATIONS.

BASICALLY SOME SLUDGE IS SETTLING OUT IN YOUR EQUALIZATION BASIN AND IT NEEDS TO BE KEPT IN SUSPENSION AND MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE IDENTIFYING THOSE THINGS AND KEEP THEM IN MIND IF WE'RE PLANNING FOR EXPANSION TO MAKE SURE WE'RE ADDRESSING SOME OF THOSE ITEMS. THAT WAS AN EXAMPLE OF ONE OF THOSE.

IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, THE PICTURE THAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE IS SOME OF YOUR ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT.

THAT'S A REALLY IMPORTANT PIECE OF THE FACILITY, REALLY POWERS SOME OF THE HEART OF YOUR FACILITY. YOUR BLOWERS.

YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT IS LITTLE DATED AND IT'S EXPOSED TO SOME OF THE TEXAS SUMMER HEAT.

OVER TIME THAT CAN AFFECT YOUR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

AS WE'RE LOOKING AT EXPANSION, WE'RE WANTING TO KEEP THAT IN MIND AND PROVIDING PROVISIONS TO HELP WITH THINGS LIKE YOUR MOTOR CONTROL CENTER AND MAKE SURE THAT'S A RELIABLE PIECE OF YOUR FACILITY MOVING FORWARD.

THE LAST EXAMPLE THAT I'LL HIGHLIGHT OF YOUR FACILITY.

THIS IS A PICTURE OF YOUR AERATION BASIN.

THIS IS ONE OF THE MAIN TREATMENT UNITS OF YOUR TREATMENT PLANTS, IT'S WHERE MOST OF YOUR TREATMENT OCCURS.

JUST AN EXAMPLE OF PART OF THE REDUNDANCY ASPECT OF WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT.

YOUR AERATION BASINS DON'T HAVE REDUNDANCY RIGHT NOW.

THE WAY THAT THEY ARE OPERATING, THEY HAVE TO USE ALL OF THE AERATION BASIN.

YOU HAVE THREE OF THOSE.

THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO TAKE THOSE BASINS AT A SERVICE TO CLEAN THEM OR MAINTAIN SOME OF THE EQUIPMENT.

AS WE'RE LOOKING AT THE FUTURE, WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE PROVIDING THAT REDUNDANCY ASPECT TO YOUR TREATMENT FACILITY AS WELL FOR THE LONG-TERM MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION OF THE FACILITY. YES, SIR.

>> CAN WE GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS SLIDE WITH THE ELECTRICAL BOXES?

>> SURE.

>> I'M NOT A MASTER ELECTRICIAN ANYMORE.

WHAT IS THE REST OF THE LONGEVITY OF WHAT'S CURRENTLY INSTALLED?

>> IT'S HARD TO SPEAK TO THE LONGEVITY OF THE EQUIPMENT IN PARTICULAR, BUT I WANTED TO TRY TO IDENTIFY JUST AREAS OF THE PLANT THAT NEEDED SOME IMPROVEMENT.

[00:10:03]

WE HAD AN ELECTRICAL ENGINEER COME OUT TOO AND EVALUATE THE FACILITY.

I'M NOT AN ELECTRICAL ENGINEER, BUT HE DID EVALUATE THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS.

SPECIFICALLY TO THIS, THIS IS THE MOTOR CONTROL CENTER, SO IT POWERS YOUR BLOWERS.

IT'S IN THE SAME ROOM AS YOUR BLOWERS, WHICH IS NOT A BAD THING.

BUT OVER TIME THAT ROOM CAN GET REALLY HOT AND THEY'VE HAD SOME JUST OPERATIONAL ISSUES WITH THOSE TWO BEING IN THE SAME ROOM.

WORKING WITH OPERATIONS STAFF LOOKING AT FUTURE EXPANSION WOULD LIKE TO DECOUPLE THOSE FROM WHERE THE BLOWERS ARE BECAUSE THE BLOWERS GENERATE HEAT.

SO GIVING THE FUTURE MCC A DEDICATED BUILDING PROVIDE A COOLED ENVIRONMENT, SOMETHING LIKE THAT WOULD BE A GOOD PLAN FOR ANY FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS.

>> I HAVE NOT GOTTEN AN INVITATION TO GO OUT THERE.

SO THOSE OUTSIDE ARE THOSE ENCAPSULATED IN A ROOM?

>> THIS ISN'T A BUILDING. IT'S A BUILDING THAT HOUSES SOME BLOWERS.

YOU CAN SEE IT ON THE SITE.

BUILDING, IT'S GOT A ROOF, WALLS, DOORS, SOME VENTILATION, BUT NOT A HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM.

>> OKAY.

>> THANK YOU.

GOING ON TO THE NEXT SLIDE.

WE LOOKED AT EACH INDIVIDUAL UNIT LIKE I HAD MENTIONED, AND WE GAVE IT A RANKING BASED ON THE RELIABILITY AND REDUNDANCY.

SOME OF THOSE ITEMS THAT I HAD MENTIONED, LIKE THE EQ BASIN, YOU CAN SEE THE RATING OF FOUR, THE AERATION BASIN, A RATING OF FOUR, JUST HIGHLIGHTING SOME OF THE RELIABILITY OF THOSE ASSETS AND WANTING TO MAKE SURE THAT THE HIGHER RANKED ASSETS GET ATTENTION WHATEVER YOU DECIDE TO DO WITH AN EXPANSION.

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE'RE CAPTURING THAT INFORMATION IN THE REPORT.

THE NEXT STEP WAS TO LOOK AT HOW DO WE EXPAND YOUR FACILITY.

MUCH LIKE ANDREW HAD MENTIONED, HERE'S THE GRAPH OF WHAT WE HAD TALKED ABOUT EARLIER.

GOING BACK TO EXPANDING FROM 1.2 MGD TO 2.4 MGD, AND WHAT THAT WOULD TAKE FOR YOUR FACILITY.

YOUR FACILITY, WHEN WE LOOKED AT EACH INDIVIDUAL TREATMENT UNIT, IS DOING A REALLY GOOD JOB OF MAXIMIZING THE CAPACITY OF EVERY SINGLE UNIT IN YOUR TREATMENT FACILITY.

WHICH MEANS IN ORDER TO EXPAND TO 2.4 MGD, YOU NEED ADDITIONAL UNITS, ADDITIONAL TRAINS TO BE ABLE TO TREAT THAT FLOW.

THE BLUE ITEMS SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN HERE ARE THOSE FUTURE UNITS THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED TO MEET THAT 2.4 MGD CAPACITY.

YOU'LL NOTICE THINGS ON THERE LIKE THE BIG BLUE RECTANGLE IS AN ADDITIONAL FLOW EQUALIZATION BASIN TO HELP WITH SOME OF THE PEAKS.

THEN WE LOOKED AT A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES, BUT ULTIMATELY ENDED UP RECOMMENDING A MEMBRANE BIOREACTOR TECHNOLOGY.

A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN A CONVENTIONAL STYLE PLANT.

THERE'S SOME BENEFITS TO THAT, THAT I'LL GO OVER HERE SPECIFICALLY.

THE MEMBRANE BIOREACTORS ARE A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

THEY USE MEMBRANES TO SEPARATE THE SLUDGE FROM WATER INSTEAD OF USING GRAVITY, WHICH IS WHAT YOU HAVE TODAY.

IT PROVIDES A PHYSICAL BARRIER.

THERE'S SOME EFFICIENCIES THAT ARE RECOGNIZED WITH THAT.

INSTEAD OF HAVING TO SETTLE THE SLUDGE, YOU'RE SEPARATING IT WITH A PHYSICAL BARRIER.

YOU CAN HAVE A SMALLER FOOTPRINT.

YOU CAN GET MORE CAPACITY IN A SMALLER FOOTPRINT.

THEY'RE EASY TO AUTOMATE AND THEN YOU'RE PROVIDING A REALLY HIGH QUALITY WATER COMING OFF OF THOSE MEMBRANES.

BECAUSE YOU'RE USING THEM TO SEPARATE THAT SLUDGE, YOU PRODUCE A REALLY HIGH-QUALITY EFFLUENT.

THAT CAN BE DISCHARGED TO THE RECEIVING STREAM OR IT CAN EVEN BE REUSED IN THE FUTURE.

IT SETS YOU UP WELL TO BE ABLE TO HAVE FLEXIBILITY WITH YOUR EFFLUENT.

THEN THE NEXT SLIDE COVERS THE COST.

LOOKING AT WHAT IT WOULD TAKE TO EXPAND AND REHABILITATE ALL THE DIFFERENT UNITS THAT WE LOOKED AT.

WE'RE LOOKING AT AROUND $36 MILLION TO BE ABLE TO EXPAND FROM 1.2-2.4 MGD.

ANY QUESTIONS ON THE WASTEWATER FACILITY BEFORE I MOVE ON TO WHAT WE DID AT THE WATER FACILITY? IS THERE A CASH DEAL THAT WE CAN NEGOTIATE? [LAUGHTER] SUITCASES? [LAUGHTER] QUANTIFIED REPRINTING OF PAPER MONEY [LAUGHTER]? WE CAN HELP EVALUATE FUNDING OPTIONS IF THAT'S SOMETHING YOU'D LIKE TO DISCUSS.

THE NEXT PART OF THE STUDY.

[00:15:01]

THAT WAS THE WASTEWATER, WE LOOKED AT YOUR WATER TREATMENT FACILITY AS WELL BECAUSE THAT GOES HAND IN HAND WITH LOOKING AT YOUR GROWTH.

ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS IS LOOKING AT YOUR SOURCE WATER.

IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW, YOU HAVE A CURRENT AGREEMENT WITH TRWD WITH A MAXIMUM OF 3.57 MGD ON AVERAGE.

THE CITY HAS BEEN WORKING ON TALKING WITH THEM TO EVALUATE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TO EXPAND FUTURE WATER RIGHTS IN THE FUTURE.

THAT WAS AN ASPECT OF WHAT WE PERFORMED ON THE SOURCE WATER.

THEN GOING TO THE NEXT SLIDE, WE HAD TO LOOK AT YOUR WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM AS A WHOLE.

YOUR WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM IS BUILT UP OF A FEW DIFFERENT COMPONENTS.

IT'S NOT JUST THE TREATMENT PLANT ITSELF.

IT'S GETTING THE WATER FROM THE LAKE AND THEN PUMPING IT ALL THE WAY TO YOUR TREATMENT FACILITY AND THAT'S 12 MILES OF PIPELINE.

THE TREATMENT SYSTEM IS COMPOSED OF THE INTAKE STRUCTURE THERE AT THE LAKE, YOUR RAW WATER PUMP STATION, SO PUMPING IT, AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION LINE THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH THAT, ALONG WITH YOUR TREATMENT FACILITY.

ALL THOSE COMPONENTS NEED TO BE CONSIDERED WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT EXPANSION OR REHABILITATION OF YOUR TREATMENT FACILITY.

LOOKING AT THE RAW WATER SIDE, JUST TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE.

WE WENT THROUGH THE SAME EVALUATION THAT WE DID AS THE WASTEWATER PLANT AND EVALUATED EACH OF YOUR FACILITIES FROM A RELIABILITY, REDUNDANCY STANDPOINT TO MAKE NOTE OF ANYTHING FOR PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE.

THIS IS A BLOWN-UP IMAGE.

YOU CAN SEE THE RAW WATER INTAKE THERE NEXT TO THE DAM.

THEN YOUR RAW WATER PUMP STATION IS IMMEDIATELY TO THE WEST OF YOUR RAW WATER INTAKE.

VERY CLOSE THERE. IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, THAT'S A PICTURE OF THE INSIDE OF YOUR RAW WATER PUMP STATION.

THIS PUMP STATION, THERE'S BEEN PUMPS ADDED OVER TIME.

BUT YOU CAN SEE FROM THE IMAGE, THERE'S REALLY NO MORE SPACE TO EXPAND THAT FACILITY IN ITS CURRENT FOOTPRINT.

THOSE PUMPS WERE INSTALLED 20 YEARS AGO, SO THEY ARE 20 YEARS OLD AND STILL OPERATING.

IF YOU DO NEED TO LOOK AT EXPANSION, WE'D HAVE TO LOOK AT EXPANDING BEYOND THE EXISTING FOOTPRINT.

I WANTED TO MAKE NOTE OF THAT.

THEN WE ALSO LOOKED AT THE SAME TYPES OF THINGS WITH YOUR WATER TREATMENT PLANT SITE SPECIFICALLY AS WELL.

SOME OF THOSE THINGS THAT WE IDENTIFIED IN THE RELIABILITY SIDE OF THINGS ARE THINGS LIKE YOUR FILTER.

IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, THE FILTER MEDIA IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF TREATMENT, BUT YOU HAVE TO REPLACE IT EVERY NOW AND THEN.

WE JUST MADE NOTE THAT, HEY, THE FILTER MEDIA HASN'T BEEN REPLACED IN OVER 10 YEARS, AND SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU'LL NEED TO CONSIDER REGARDLESS OF YOUR EXPANSION AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE ACCOMMODATING FOR PROVISIONS FOR REPLACING THAT MEDIA.

ANOTHER EXAMPLE WOULD BE YOUR SLUDGE LAGOON.

THIS ALLOWS BACKWASH WATER TO SETTLE OUT ANY ADDITIONAL SEDIMENT BEFORE IT'S RECYCLED.

SOMETHING IN WORKING WITH OPERATIONS STAFF THAT WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL IS HAVING AN ADDITIONAL SLUDGE LAGOON, SO THAT THEY CAN TAKE DOWN THE MAIN TREATMENT UNITS TO SERVICE THEM, TO CLEAN THEM ON A PERIODIC BASIS.

IT WOULD HELP FROM AN OPERATIONAL STANDPOINT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE SOME REDUNDANCY THERE IN THE SLUDGE LAGOONS.

THOSE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF SNAPSHOTS OF WHAT WE EVALUATED, BUT WE WENT AHEAD AND RANKED, MUCH LIKE THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT, THE DIFFERENT ASSETS ON A RANKING SCALE OF 1-5.

YOU CAN SEE THE VARIOUS RANKINGS THAT WE GAVE THEM.

THERE ARE A FEW THINGS IN THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT ACCOMMODATE FOR THE RELIABILITY AND REDUNDANCY ASPECTS OF EVEN YOUR EXISTING FACILITY.

NOW LOOKING AT EXPANSION GOING FROM 3-6 MGD, WE LOOKED AT ALL OF THOSE DIFFERENT ELEMENTS OF YOUR TREATMENT FACILITY.

STARTING WITH THE RAW WATER INFRASTRUCTURE, LIKE I HAD MENTIONED, YOU'LL NEED TO EXPAND OUTSIDE OF THE EXISTING FOOTPRINT.

WE EVALUATED A FEW DIFFERENT OPTIONS FOR CITING A NEW RAW WATER PUMP STATION.

THIS EXAMPLE HERE IS JUST DUE EAST OF WHERE YOUR EXISTING RAW WATER PUMPS ARE, AND SO MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE OUT OF THE FLOODPLAIN.

THIS IS ON TRWD PROPERTIES, SO JUST IDENTIFYING DIFFERENT LOCATIONS FOR THAT.

THIS WAS ONE OF THE LOCATIONS THAT MADE THE MOST SENSE.

IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE THE ADDITIONAL FLOW FROM 3-6 MGD, YOU DO NEED AN UPSIZED RAW WATER TRANSMISSION MEANS.

THAT NEEDS TO BE 24 INCHES TO ACCOUNT FOR THE ADDITIONAL FLOW.

THAT NEEDS TO BE ACCOUNTED FOR AS WELL.

THEN WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT THE TREATMENT FACILITY ITSELF,

[00:20:03]

WE EVALUATED A FEW DIFFERENT TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES, SO MUCH LIKE THE WASTEWATER FACILITY.

WE LOOKED AT TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES LIKE REVERSE OSMOSIS, BUT ULTIMATELY ARE RECOMMENDING GOING IN WITH A CONVENTIONAL TREATMENT PLANT AND EXPANDING TO SIX MGD USING CONVENTIONAL TECHNOLOGY.

WE'RE RECOMMENDING A FEW CHANGES TO HOW YOU DO IT WITH CHEMICALS AND ADDING ADDITIONAL UNITS TO HELP WITH TASTE AND ODOR, TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE GETTING A HIGH-QUALITY WATER GOING INTO YOUR SYSTEM.

THERE'S A FEW ADDITIONAL ITEMS THAT WE RECOMMENDED IN THERE AS WELL.

THE COST FOR THE EXPANSION OF YOUR TREATMENT SYSTEM IS $60 MILLION.

THAT INCORPORATES ALL THOSE ELEMENTS THAT I HAD DISCUSSED EARLIER.

THE RAW WATER PUMP STATION, NEW TRANSMISSION MAIN, ALONG WITH THE IMPROVEMENTS AT YOUR FACILITY THERE TO TREAT THE WATER.

JUST A SUMMARY OF THE COSTS TOGETHER.

THE TOTAL IS AROUND $100 MILLION.

WE'RE LOOKING AT $96.6 MILLION IN IMPROVING COST TO YOUR FACILITIES.

I'M GOING TO TURN IT BACK OVER TO ANDREW TO TELL US WHERE WE'RE AT TODAY.

>> I THINK THE KEY CAVEAT TO MAKE, ESPECIALLY THESE DAYS WHEN WE ARE TALKING ABOUT PRICING, IS THAT THIS IS ALL IN 2022 DOLLARS IN THAT.

WHEN WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THESE PROJECTS, WE MIGHT BE FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD.

PLEASE KEEP THAT IN MIND THAT THIS IS A 2022 DOLLAR. NEXT SLIDE.

ALLUDING TO WHAT YOU'RE ASKING BEFORE IS WHERE ARE WE TODAY VERSUS WHAT CAPACITY DO WE HAVE? WHAT WE WERE REFERRING TO WITH THE 75 PERCENT RULE EARLIER IS TCEQ, THE STATE AGENCY THAT OVERSEES THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT, HAS SEVERAL GUIDELINES REGARDING WHEN YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO START DESIGNING YOUR TREATMENT PLANT AND WHEN YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO HAVE IT UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

THE RULE TO START DESIGN IS 75 PERCENT, WHICH IS 0.9 MGD.

LOOKING AT THIS GRAPH AGAIN, WHERE WE'VE NOW PUT THE 75 PERCENT RULE ON THERE, YOU CAN SEE THAT OUR HISTORICAL USAGE IS SLOWLY CLIMBING TOWARDS THAT LINE, WHERE ESPECIALLY WITH OUR NEW PROJECTIONS, OUR NEW DEVELOPMENTS THAT WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT, WE MIGHT BE THERE WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR OR TWO YEARS.

THEN THE NEXT RULE IS ONCE YOUR UNDER DESIGN IS AT 90 PERCENT, YOU NEED TO BE UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

OBVIOUSLY, WITH PROJECTS THIS BIG, IT'LL TAKE SEVERAL YEARS TO ACTUALLY COMPLETE THOSE PROJECTS.

THEN SAME THING LOOKING AT ON THE WATER SIDE EXCEPT ON THE WATER SIDE, TCQ DOESN'T HAVE THOSE SAME BARS THAT THEY DO ON THE WASTEWATER.

HOWEVER, WE BASICALLY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT DURING THAT WORST STATE DURING THE SUMMER OR LAST FEBRUARY, IN LAST YEAR'S CASE, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN DELIVER THE WATER THAT'S NEEDED, SO WE LOOK AT THAT MAX DAY DEMAND.

LOOKING AT THE MAX DAY DEMAND AGAIN, THAT RED LINE, YOU COMPARE IT TO THAT 3MGD, YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF BUFFER.

HOWEVER, IF YOU BELIEVE SOME OF THOSE PROJECTIONS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, THAT WITHIN A COUPLE OF YEARS, YOU COULD ALSO BE CROSSING THAT THRESHOLD.

THEN JUST SUMMARIZING THE COST ONCE AGAIN.

THAT'S IT FOR OUR PRESENTATION.

I WANTED TO GIVE, I GUESS EARL, I KNOW YOU'RE STILL ON THE LINE IF YOU WANTED TO ADD ANYTHING THAT WE'VE SAID SO FAR OR GREG IF YOU WANT TO ADD ANYTHING TO WHAT WE'VE SAID.

OTHERWISE, WE'RE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS.

>> I JUST LIKE TO ADD A COUPLE OF COMMENTS.

ON THE WATER SIDE, JEFF AND YOURSELF, I DON'T REMEMBER IF YOU WERE THERE KARL THAT DAY, BUT WE DID HAVE A MEETING WITH THE TARRANT REGIONAL WATER DISTRICT BACK LAST FALL ABOUT THE POTENTIAL TO INCREASE OUR 4,000 ACRE FOOT PER YEAR ALLOCATION.

WE'RE CURRENTLY RUNNING AT ABOUT 15-1,600 ACRE FEET A YEAR UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES.

OBVIOUSLY, WEATHER HAS A LOT TO DO WITH IT.

OUR TAKEAWAY FROM THAT MEETING WAS THAT TARRANT REGIONAL WAS VERY SYMPATHETIC, BUT THEY ONLY HAVE SO MANY ACRE FEET OF WATER RUTS THAT THEY CAN ALLOCATE FOR MUNICIPAL PURPOSES.

WHAT WE CAME AWAY FROM THAT MEETING WITH WAS THEY WANT TO BE KEPT VERY CLOSE IN THE LOOP ON NEW CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS AND PROJECTED AMOUNTS THAT WILL BE NEEDED TO SERVICE THOSE.

[00:25:02]

WE WENT DOWN THERE ASKING FOR A SIX MILLION DOLLAR ALLOCATION.

WELL, WHILE THEY WERE SYMPATHETIC, THEY JUST DIDN'T THINK THEY COULD JUSTIFY WHEN WE'RE ONLY USING 1,500 GIVEN A SIX.

OUR CHARGE FROM THAT DAY FORWARD HAS BEEN AS THESE PROJECTS COME ALONG TO REALLY KEEP THEM IN THE LOOP SO THAT THEY CAN SEE BECAUSE THEY ARE AWARE THAT THE NORTH AND THE WEST SIDE OF FORT WORTH IS WHERE THE GROWTH IS GOING TO COME BECAUSE IT'S THE LEAST CROWDED.

THERE'S A LOT MORE OPEN SPACE.

BUT THEY JUST WOULDN'T GRANT US THAT AND THAT'S A THING THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO, WE GET THAT.

THAT'S ONE OTHER REASON WHY WE DIDN'T PUSH THIS A WHOLE LOT BEFORE.

IF THEY WON'T GIVE US THE ALLOCATION TO SIX, THEN THERE'S NO POINT IN BUILDING A PLANT FOR SIX BECAUSE WE'RE ONLY GOING TO GET X NUMBER OF GALLONS PER ACRE FEET.

NOW THERE'S 325,851 GALLONS OF WATER IN AN ACRE FOOT.

PRETTY SIMPLE MATH.

BUT CURRENTLY, WE'RE USING 1,500 OUT OF A 4,000 ACRE FEET AND THEY JUST COULDN'T GET PAST THAT.

BUT THEY WERE VERY ACCOMMODATING AND SAID, AS LONG AS YOU CAN JUSTIFY THAT IT'S COMING AND IT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING, WE'LL BE GLAD TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT IT.

BUT WHAT DID THEY SAY JEFF THAT DAY? THEY'VE ONLY GOT ABOUT 3,500-4,000 ACRE FEET THAT'S UNALLOCATED.

MY BIG WORRY IS WHOEVER GETS IT FIRST HAS GOT IT.

>> WOULD THEY NOT GIVE US ANYTHING?

>> IF THEY DON'T HAVE IT TO GIVE THEY WOULDN'T, BUT THEY'RE ALSO IN THE BUSINESS.

>> THEY WOULDN'T GIVE US ANYTHING TODAY?

>> NO BECAUSE WE'RE USING 1,500 ACRE FEET OUT OF A 4,000 ACRE FEET ALLOCATION.

THERE'S PLENTY OF BUFFERS.

THAT'S WHY KEVIN AND THE EDC ARE REAL SELECTIVE WHEN THEY'RE LOOKING FOR EDC PROJECTS.

WE CAN'T AFFORD OR WE CAN'T SUPPLY BIG USERS.

THAT'S WHY THESE BIG HOUSING PROJECTS, WHETHER THEY'RE SINGLE-FAMILY, MULTI-FAMILY, WHATEVER THEY ARE, WE ALWAYS TAKE A LOOK AT HOW MANY LOTS AND LOTS OF PROJECTED DEMAND GOING TO BE.

BUT UNTIL WE GET CLOSER TO THAT 4,000 ACRE FEET, THEY'RE JUST NOT GOING TO GIVE US ANYMORE.

WATER IS THE NEW GOLD.

IF WE GO INTO ANOTHER EXTENDED YEAR DROUGHT SITUATION, I'M AFRAID THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE GOING TO FIND THAT OUT.

[OVERLAPPING] THAT'S JUST A LITTLE HISTORY BEHIND IT.

>> ARE THERE ANY OTHER OPTIONS? OTHER THAN THE LAKE, ARE THERE ANY OTHER OPTIONS THAT YOU-ALL EXPLORED OR LOOKED AT OR?

>> THERE'S REALLY NOT A WHOLE LOT OF OPTIONS JUST BECAUSE THERE'S NOT ANY RESERVOIRS.

OUR TARRANT REGIONAL IS DOING SOME THINGS TO TRY AND BRING MORE WATER FROM THEIR EAST TEXAS RESERVOIRS ALL THE WAY TO LOUISIANA.

HOPEFULLY THAT IS GOING TO HAVE AN IMPACT ON THEIR ABILITY TO KEEP BENBROOK AND EAGLE MOUNTAIN FULL, WHICH WHEN THEY TURN THE GATES OPEN AND TURN THE WATER LOOSE AT BRIDGEPORT, IT'S GOING TO EAGLE MOUNTAIN AND THEN FROM THERE IT'S GOING TO LAKE WORTH.

ANYTHING THEY CAN DO TO KEEP THEM MORE COSTS OF LEVEL WITHOUT HAVING TO DRAW WATER OUT OF BRIDGEPORT THEN THAT JUST HELPS THE SITUATION.

BUT WE DON'T WANT TO GET INTO ANOTHER GROUNDWATER.

IN THE EARLY '60S, THE CITY DECIDED THEN THAT IT WASN'T SUSTAINABLE TO DEPEND ON GROUNDWATER.

THAT'S WHY THEY MADE THE DECISION 50 SOMETHING YEARS AGO TO GO TO LAKE BRIDGEPORT BUT UNFORTUNATELY, NEW RESERVOIRS ARE USUALLY A 25-30 YEAR PROCESS, EVEN IF THERE'S NOT A LOT OF OPPOSITION TO GET THROUGH ALL THE BUREAUCRATIC RED TAPE FROM THE STATE AND THE FEDS.

IT'S NOTHING GOING TO HAPPEN SOON.

I APPRECIATE THEIR CANDOR, BUT I THINK THAT'S WHY THEY'RE BEING VERY GUARDED WITH THEIR ALLOCATIONS BECAUSE THEY KNOW HOW MUCH THEY'VE GOT LEFT TOO, BUT I'M REALLY COUNTING ON THESE PROJECTS THAT THEY'RE UNDERTAKING TO GET WATER FROM EAST TEXAS TO REALLY HELP WITH HOPEFULLY, HAVING TO RELEASE AS MUCH OUT OF BRIDGEPORT DOWNSTREAM.

>> THE OTHER THING IS OBVIOUSLY AS WE HAVE GROWTH AND OUR GROWTH RATE CHANGES WE'LL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE DATA THAT MIGHT HELP SUPPORT.

AS WE DO ALLOCATE, WE USE THAT HIGHER ALLOCATION OF THAT 1,500-2,000 [OVERLAPPING].

>> THAT'S WHAT I WAS REFERRING TO A WHILE AGO.

NOW, WHEN WE GET THESE BIG PROJECTS THAT ARE COMING IN, NOT JUST TALK ABOUT BUT ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO HAPPEN,

[00:30:01]

THAT'S WHEN WE KEEP THEM INFORMED.

HERE'S ANOTHER PROJECT.

IF IT'S TO COME OUT OF THE GROUND THEN HERE'S WHAT WE PROJECT IT'S GOING TO TAKE, AND SO WE'RE JUST TRYING TO KEEP THEM IN THE LOOP.

THE LAST THING WE'RE GOIN TO DO IS GET DOWN TO THE HAND AND THEN WE NEED WATER AND THEY SAID WE DON'T HAVE IT.

>> I HAD RECENT DISCUSSION WITH KEVIN HOLZBOG OVER THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE LOOKED AT WAS THE GROWTH RATE THAT'S PROVIDED BY THE NORTH TEXAS COG AND DECATUR WAS AT A 5.7 PERCENT GROWTH RATE COMPARED TO A LESSER GROWTH RATE OF OTHER AREAS.

I THINK EVEN DENTON WAS AT A TWO PERCENT COMPARATIVELY.

WE'VE SAT HERE AND WE'VE SEEN THOSE PLANS THAT HAVE COME UP ABOUT THE NEW HOUSEHOLDS AND THAT.

AGAIN WE'LL JUST NEED TO CONTINUOUSLY LOOK AT THAT DATA, PROVIDE THAT DATA, AND COMMUNICATE THAT INFORMATION.

>> YOUR STAFF'S DOING THAT.

>> MAYOR MIKE?

>> YES, SIR.

>> I'D LIKE TO JUST ADD TO ANDREW AND KARL'S SUMMARY.

I WANT US TO UNDERSTAND WE'RE NOT IN A CRISIS YET.

I DON'T WANT ANY OF THE COUNCIL TO THINK THAT ANY OF THIS STUFF HAS TO HAPPEN TOMORROW BECAUSE THAT'S NOT THE CASE.

LIKE YOU SUGGEST MAYOR WE ARE PAYING ATTENTION TO WHAT'S GOING ON WITH EACH PROJECT AND WHAT OTHER LOADS IS THAT PLACING ON OUR WATER AND WASTEWATER SYSTEMS. BASED ON ADVISE FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY, WHEN A PROJECT PLATS, THEY ARE WHAT SHE CALLED ENTITLED TO THAT CAPACITY OF OUR UTILITIES.

THAT'S WHY WE'RE PAYING REAL CLOSE ATTENTION TO THESE PROJECTS AS THEY COME IN.

THERE ARE OTHER TOOLS THAT COULD BE IMPLEMENTED TOO LIKE IN THE HEAT OF THE SUMMER, THE WATER USAGE GOES CRAZY.

WE HAVE A DROP CONTINGENCY PLAN IN PLACE WHERE WE CAN IMPLEMENT CERTAIN STAGES OF THAT IF THE COUNCIL THOUGHT IT WISE TO DO.

WE DO HAVE SOME MEANS TO HELP, ESPECIALLY ON THE WATER SIDE.

THE OTHER KEY TAKEAWAY I WANT US TO MAKE SURE WE UNDERSTAND IS THE WASTEWATER ISSUE IS GOING TO BE THE FIRST ISSUE THAT HAS TO GET ADDRESSED BASED ON PROJECTS THAT ARE ENTITLED RIGHT NOW WHEN THEY BUILD IS GOING TO PUT US MORE THAN 70,000 GALLONS A DAY OF THE 75 PERCENT CAPACITY.

THE WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANT IS COMING QUICKER THAN THE WATER PLANT.

I WANT US TO KNOW THAT AND WE'LL BE WATCHING THAT.

I HAVE NO OTHER COMMENTS.

>> THANK YOU.

>> IT WAS A GOOD STUDY.

WE LEARNED A LOT, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF CRITERIA INCLUDED IN THE STUDY THAT WE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT HERE BECAUSE WE WANTED TO KEEP IT HIGH LEVEL BUT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT AND INCLUDED ALL CONTROLLED FACILITIES IS THE WASTE WATER PLANT.

WE'VE INCLUDED FACILITIES AT THE WATER PLANT TO ADDRESS TASTE AND ODOR ISSUES THAT WE EXPERIENCE SEASONALLY DURING A YEAR.

WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT WHATEVER WE DO WITH ANY PLANT EXPANSIONS IS MINUS UP TO STAY AT THE ORIGIN AND ADDRESSING THE CHRONIC ISSUES THAT WE FACE ON AN OCCASIONAL BASIS BUT STILL WE WANT TO PROVIDE THE BEST SERVICE WE CAN.

>> THANK YOU. WELL, I GUESS I'D LIKE TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY ON BEHALF OF COUNCIL.

WORD OF THANKS, CITY STAFF, KIMBERLY HORN, I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS.

AGAIN, YOU ALL ARE KEEPING US AHEAD OF THE CURVE AND INFORMED AND WE VERY MUCH APPRECIATE IT.

>> THANK YOU. WE APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY.

>> THANKS GUYS. STAY RIGHT THERE.

ITEM 2, CONSIDER AND TAKE ACTION TO AWARD BID TO LEAK TECH SOLUTIONS LLC OUT OF ALITO,

[2. CONSIDER AND TAKE ACTION TO AWARD BID TO LEETECH SOLUTIONS, LLC, ALEDO, TEXAS IN THE BASE BID AMOUNT OF $1,201,065.00 FOR THE 2022 WALMART SEWER LINE D AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO SIGN CONTRACT DOCUMENTS]

TEXAS IN THE BASE BID OF 1,201,065.

FOR THE 2022 WALMART SEWER LINE D AND AUTHORIZE CITY MANAGER TO SIGN A CONTRACT.

WE HAD A BID OPENING A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.

I WAS VERY PLEASED THAT WE HAD 10 BIDDERS.

IN THIS MARKET I WAS AFRAID WE MIGHT NOT GET BUT ONE OR TWO BUT WE GOT 10 AND THE LOW BID WAS LEAK TECH SOLUTIONS.

IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS KIMBERLY HORN HAS DONE THEIR DUE DILIGENCE TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE UP TO SNUFF AND THEIR BONDS ARE VALID

[00:35:01]

AND THE WORK HISTORY IS GOOD AND THEY SAID BETTER TO TELL US THAT AND THEY'RE RECOMMENDING THE AWARD OF THE CONTRACT TO THE LOWEST RESPONSIBLE BIDDER OF LEAK TECH SOLUTIONS.

THIS WILL PROVIDE GREATLY ENHANCED WATER OR WASTE WATER CAPABILITIES FOR SOME NEW DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE ALREADY IN THE PIPELINE THAT ARE GOING TO HAPPEN.

IT WILL ALSO OPEN UP SOME ADDITIONAL OPEN SPACE IN THE CITY LIMITS THAT IS NOT DEVELOPED AS WELL.

THIS IS A VERY TIMELY PROJECT.

THIS IS ONE OF THE PROJECTS ON YOUR BOND PACKAGE THAT YOU PASSED BACK IN THE SPRING.

IF IT GOES A LITTLE BIT OVER BUDGET MY PLAN WOULD BE AND HOPEFULLY YOU ALL WILL SEE IT TOO, IF IT'S A SMALL AMOUNT THEN TO KEEP THE OVERALL BOND PROCEEDS ON TARGET, I WOULD SUGGEST YOU CONSIDER USING JUST A LITTLE DAB OF YOUR IMPACT FEE MONEY TO SUPPLEMENT IT.

BUT THE MORE PROJECTS YOU CAN KEEP IN BUDGET ON THE FRONT END AND WE DON'T GET TO THE END OF THE BOND PROJECTS AND YOU DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY FOR THOSE PROJECTS.

THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT PROJECT, VERY NEEDED AND WE WERE TICKLED WITH THE DOLLAR AMOUNT.

STEVENS SUBMITTED AN APPLICATION FOR HER SUP TO ALLOW THE PERMANENT MAKEUP AS A SECONDARY USE AT THE LOCATION OF 206, NORTH STATE STREET.

THE ORDINANCE LIKE I SAID WAS AMENDED.

WE ADOPTED THE CHANGE MARCH 23RD, 2015 TO PROVIDE THAT THE APPLICATION OF PERMANENT MAKEUP AS A SECONDARY USE IS PERMITTED WITH AN APPROVED SPECIFIC USE PERMIT OR SUP.

THE PROPOSED APPLICATION BY MS. STEVENS IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE CRITERIA FOR GRANTING AN SUP.

WE'RE REQUIRED TO HAVE THIS PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE YOU CAN CONSIDER INSTITUTING THIS PROGRAM IN THE CITY OF DECATUR.

IT'S BASICALLY IN REAL PLAIN ENGLISH.

IT'S A FUNDING MECHANISM FOR POTENTIAL DEVELOPERS OF MAINLY EXISTING.

BUT IT CAN ALSO BE NEW BUSINESS AS WELL.

IT'S JUST A FUNDING OPPORTUNITY FORM IF THE PURPOSE OF IT, AS I UNDERSTAND IS TO, MAYBE GET SOME BUILDINGS THAT NEEDS A LITTLE HELP GETTING UP TO TODAY'S CODES.

THAT'S A VERY GOOD INTEREST RATES.

WE'RE REQUIRED TO HAVE THIS PUBLIC HEARING.

TROY LEWIS, ON BEHALF OF RICK AND DEREK MCCARLEY) (THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMEND CONDITIONAL APPROVAL 6-0.)]

THIS IS CONSIDERED TAKING ACTION TO OWN A REQUESTED PRELIMINARY PLAN AND A WHOLE BUNCH OF LOTS.

BASICALLY, THIS IS THE MEADOW CREEK EDITION.

>> BRETT I'M SORRY.

MR. LEWIS DOESN'T WANT TO TABLE THIS UNTIL NEXT TIME.

>> OKAY. WELL, LET'S TAKE NO ACTION THEN.

WE DON'T HAVE TO TAKE IT OFF THE TABLE.

COME ON UP TROY AND TELL US WHAT YOU GOT ON YOUR MIND.

>> YOU WOULD WANT TO GIVE US ANOTHER RUN DOWN.

>> YOU NEED TO HOLD DOWN THERE.

>> THERE WE GO. GREEN LIGHTS IS ON NOW.

TROY LEWIS ROCK WATER DEVELOPMENTS, 311 SOUTH OAK STREET, ROANOKE, TEXAS.

ANYWAY, JUST WANTED TO DO STEP IN HERE TONIGHT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU MAY HAVE IT, BASED ON WHAT REVIEW YOU'VE DONE.

BUT WANTED TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE AND GIVE STAFF AND UPDATE, GIVE YOUR ATTORNEY AN UPDATE.

THE CONVERSATION AT P&Z REGARDING THE PRELIMINARY PLAT WAS CONDITIONAL BASED ON THE REQUEST OR THE CITY ORDINANCE, WHERE WE GET LETTERS FROM THE GAS COMPANIES.

WE'VE NOW RECEIVED ONE OF THOSE TWO AND WE'RE EXPECTING TO HAVE AN IN-PERSON MEETING IN THE NEXT WEEK WITH THE OTHER ONE.

SO WE'D LIKE TO TABLE IT BECAUSE WE KNOW IT'S BETTER FOR EVERYBODY IF WE CAN CLEAN IT UP BEFORE THE FINAL PLAT GETS APPROVED OR BEFORE THE PRELIMINARY PLAT GETS APPROVED BY COUNCIL.

THAT'S THE REASON WE'RE ASKING FOR THE TABLE, BUT I WANTED TO BE HERE IN CASE YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, OTHERWISE. THANKS.

>> ALL RIGHT.

>> IF IT'S ACCEPTABLE IF I TAKE NO ACTION, WE CAN AUTOMATICALLY CARRY IT ONTO THE NEXT AGENDA, RIGHT? INSTEAD OF PUTTING [NOISE] ON THE TABLE TO HAVE TO TAKE OFF THE TABLE.

>> BRETT, JUST SO YOU GUYS ARE AWARE, WE DO HAVE A 30-DAY WINDOW IN WHICH WE HAVE TO TAKE ACTION ON THE PRELIMINARY PLATS SO THE FARTHEST WE COULD TAKE IT IS ANOTHER TWO WEEKS.

IF THEY WANTED TO TABLE IT FOR TWO WEEKS, BUT THEN AFTER THAT, THE CITY IS OBLIGATED TO TAKE ACTION ON A PRELIMINARY PLAT.

>> SPECIFICALLY, THAT IS MY REQUEST THAT WE JUST TABLE IT TO THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING.

>> JUST AS BRETT MENTIONED IF THERE ARE NO ACTION, I HAVE A FEELING THIS WILL JUST APPEAR ON THE NEXT AGENDA.

>> HEARD YOU CLEARLY.

>> TROY, WHAT IS IT THEY ARE NEEDING? JUST A LETTER SAYING THAT THE GAS LINE'S THERE, OR THAT THEY'RE MOVING THE GAS LINE?

>> BASICALLY, THE LAYOUT OF OUR PRELIMINARY PLAT IS BASED ON OUR CONVERSATIONS WITH THE GAS COMPANIES WHERE WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO CLOSE ONE OR TWO OF THE GAS WELLS.

WE'RE GOING TO HIRE THEM TO DO THAT, BUT WE ALSO HAVE TO REROUTE SOME LINES.

PART OF THE CITY ORDINANCE, WE HAVE TO HAVE A LETTER THAT SAYS YES, WE'VE TALKED TO THE GAS COMPANIES.

YES. THIS LAYOUT IS AGREEABLE TO THEM, SO YOU GUYS KNOW THAT THAT'S ALREADY BEEN TAKEN CARE OF.

NOW, IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, IT'S ALSO IN YOUR FINAL PLAT ORDINANCE, SO IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO GET TAKEN CARE OF ANYWAY.

PER OUR LAND CONTRACT LAST WEEK ON THE P&Z, WE JUST ASKED THAT IT'D BE APPROVED CONDITIONALLY, THAT WE HAVE TO GET THOSE LETTERS BEFORE THE FINAL PLAT GETS APPROVED.

BUT IT'D BE MUCH EASIER FOR US AND FOR OUR LENDER IF WE DON'T HAVE A CONDITIONAL PRELIMINARY PLAT THAT'S BEEN APPROVED.

FOR YOU ALL BENEFIT WAITING TWO WEEKS.

FOR OUR BENEFIT WAITING TWO WEEKS.

WE THINK WE'VE GOT A CHANCE TO CROSS THE LAST T DOT THE LAST EYES WITH THIS LETTER FROM THE OTHER GAS COMPANY THAT WE'VE BEEN IN COMMUNICATION WITH FOR MONTHS.

IT'S JUST ABOUT GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE WE HAVE THE LETTER THAT'S ACCEPTABLE TO THE CITY, SO EVERYTHING'S CHECKED OFF AND GOOD TO GO.

WE JUST FELT LIKE IT'D BE CLEANER IF YOU'D JUST GIVE US TWO MORE WEEKS AT THAT POINT, IF WE'D STILL DON'T HAVE THAT SECOND LETTER, WE NEED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE CONDITIONAL PER OUR LAND CONTRACT.

BUT THE TWO WEEKS WE FEEL HOPEFUL THAT WE CAN GET THIS SECOND LETTER

[00:50:02]

THAT THE STAFF HAS REFERRED TO IN THEIR REVIEW OF OUR PROJECT.

[NOISE]

>> ALL RIGHT. HEARING NO ACTION.

LET'S MOVE ON.

>> ITEM 7 IS CONSIDERED AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION ON RESOLUTION 2022-04-07,

[7. CONSIDER AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION ON RESOLUTION 2022-04-07, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF DECATUR, TEXAS, ESTABLISHING THE CITY OF DECATUR PROPERTY ASSESSED CLEAN ENERGY (“PACE”) PROGRAM.]

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF DECATUR, TEXAS ESTABLISHING THE CITY OF DECATUR PROPERTY ASSESSED CLEAN ENERGY PROGRAM, WHICH IS ALSO REFERRED TO AS PACE.

THIS IS WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT A LITTLE EARLIER.

THIS IS A FUNDING MECHANISM.

THERE'S A REPRESENTATIVE OF LONE STAR PACE HERE TONIGHT.

I THINK YOU REMEMBER HIM FROM A COUPLE OF MEETINGS AGO.

HE'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTION, BUT THIS IS BASICALLY A FUNDING OPPORTUNITY.

IF YOUR PROJECT MEETS THE PARAMETERS OF THIS PROGRAM, AND IT'S A WAY TO ACCESS SOME PRETTY COMPETITIVE MONEY, IF IT DOES.

THERE'S NO OBLIGATION TO THE CITY.

IS JUST WE HAVE TO GIVE PERMISSION FOR THIS PROGRAM TO BE USED IN DECATUR.

>> NO COST NECESSARILY FOR THE CITY, BUT IT DOES PROVIDE ADDITIONAL ACCESS FOR THOSE?

>> ELIGIBLE PROJECTS.

>> THERE YOU GO. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? ALL RIGHT. WE'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION.

>> IT CAN BE JUST TO APPROVE AND ADOPT THE RESOLUTION.

>> MR. MAYOR, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 2022-04-07.

>> WE'VE GOT IT. WE HAVE A MOTION.

>> SECOND.

>> WE HAVE A SECOND. CAN WE GET ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THAT MOTION SAY, AYE.

>> AYE.

>> THOSE OPPOSED. SAME SIGN.

ALL RIGHT. THAT PASSES.

[NOISE]

[8. CONSIDER AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION ON A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR ADMINISTRATION OF THE CITY OF DECATUR PROPERTY ASSESSED CLEAN ENERGY (“PACE”) PROGRAM WITH LONE STAR PACE; AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER OR HIS DESIGNEE TO EXECUTE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS.]

>> ALL RIGHT. ITEM NUMBER 8, CONSIDERING TO TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION ON A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR ADMINISTRATION OF THE CITY OF DECATUR PROPERTY ASSESSED CLEAN ENERGY PROGRAM WITH LONE STAR PACE AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER OR HIS DESIGNEE TO EXECUTE THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS.

YOU WANT TO MAKE SOME COMMENTS TONIGHT? BASICALLY WE'D BE ENTERED INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THEY WOULD BE HANDLING THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE POTENTIAL PROJECTS THAT ARE [OVERLAPPING] PART OF IT, SO IT'S ALL YOURS.

[NOISE]

>> ARE YOU GREEN? NOW, HOW ABOUT THAT? HEY, THERE YOU GO.

>> PERFECT.

>> SOUNDS LIKE AN AGGIE JOKE.

HOW MANY AGGIES DOES TAKE TO MAKE A MICROPHONE WORK.

>> DO YOU NEED TO GO AHEAD AND INTRODUCING YOURSELF JUST FOR THE AUDIENCE AS WELL.

>> YES. I AM GLENN SILVA, THE CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER FOR LONE STAR PACE.

WE ARE ONE OF TWO PACE ADMINISTRATORS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS.

BASICALLY, WE'RE YOUR ARMS AND LEGS THAT HELP WITH THE PACE PROGRAM.

THAT'S WHY THE MAYOR DID MAKE A COMMENT A WHILE AGO, IT'S NO COST TO YOU ALL.
