improvements to the wastewater collection system. There is

DISCUSSION OF THE RECEIPT OF EXECUTIVE ORDER FROM TEXAS
WATER COMMISSION REGARDING WASTEWATER COLLECTION AND
TREATMENT SYSTEM: City Manager Charles Norwood stated this
was the order that the Council was told some time back would
be coming forward. The fines in this order are going to be
tough, especially the by pass fine. Mayor Pro Tem Naish
said the fine for today is around $4,160 . , but in the year
1990 they are going to fine us $1 ,900 . per by pass, should
Council appeal this . City Manager Charles Norwood stated
that the State has been very liberal with $100 .00 per by
pass in the past . The $500 .00 penalty per month is not so
bad . City Manager Charles Norwood said the key is to keep
the State informed as to our progress . Mayor Pro Tem Naish
asked if NTMWD had sent us a copy of their monthly report to
Texas Water Commission . City Manager Charles Norwood said
NTMWD submitted a total break down of the $490 ,000 . North
Texas Municipal Water District still owes some engineering
cost but the City should be getting around $25,000 . refund
from them. There was some talk of taking this $25,000 . and
putting it toward the impact fee study. It was Council
opinion that staff should not appeal this executive order
from the Texas Water Commission. Council also requested
that an item be placed on the next agenda to authorize staff
to use the $25,000 . coming from NTMWD for the impact fee
study.
