MEMORANDUM
DATE November 23, 1992
TO Mayor John Akin and City Council
FROM Steve Norwood, City Manage r/
SUBJECT : City Council Worksession of November 17
This memo is to communicate back to the City Council on the information that was discussed
at our previous worksession. The following are results from the worksession that the Council
generally agreed upon.
UTILITY RATES- Increase the water and sewer rates to the previous rate structure. This would
include residential, commercial, mobil home parks and multi-family units. Restore sewer pass-
through rates on all utility rate categories. Provide some relief to residential customers on the
maximum sewer rate. This may be accomplished by lowering the maximum usage from 15,000
to 12,000 gallons or some other method to lower the maximum rate.
UTILITY PROJECTS- City Council was informed that the City has $350,000 remaining from
the Landfill Closure Fund that was transferred to the Utility Fund for capital projects. The
following projects were generally agreed upon for Staff to begin prepatory work.
$180,000 Abandon the North Texas Municipal Water District Lift Station and replace
with a gravity flow line. This work will be contingent on the impact of
the additional sewer on the Rush Creek Lift Station.
$50,000 Alanis 8" water line tie-in. The Utilities will need to be relocated next
spring due to the County/City cooperative work to be done on improving
Alanis as part of the landfill closure.
$50,000 Replacing First Street water line with 8". This water line has received
numerous call-outs due to main breaks and has incurred numerous man
hours which some are overtime charges to the City.
$45,000 Newport Harbor water pressure and chlorination. Some preliminary cost
estimates indicate that it may be upwards of$60,000 to adequately address
the immediate problems in Newport Harbor. Should those cost estimates
prove to be accurate, the City does have some resources available in the
Utility Fund to bridge the difference in cost.
$25,000 Wastewater Grant application through the Texas Department of Commerce.
The City's responsibility is $50,000 total. However, the remaining
$25,000 will be made up of in-kind contributions (staff time) and monies
from the Utility Operating Budget.
I am planning to have additional information on utility rates to the City Council by the December
8th regular meeting. As information becomes available, I will update the Council at which time
we can allow the public hearing process to begin. Hopefully, this will occur in January.
