A quorum was present and notice of the meeting had been posted in the time and manner required by law. Those present were Mayor John Akin, Mayor Pro Tem Don Hughes, Council Members Pat Stemple , Chuck Wible , William Martin, Percy Simmons and Steve Wright, City Secretary Carolyn Jones , Public Works Superintendent Don White, Public Works Director/Engineer Paul Beaver , and Finance Director James Johnson . Mayor Akin called the meeting to order and called on Mr . White for a presentation on the Wastewater Collection System Improvements. Mr . White stated that the new line from the community park to Twin Lakes Subdivision will be a gravity flow line and this will also eliminate the park lift station, enlarge the lift station in Twin Lakes Subdivision and pump through a force main to Allanis Rd. and gravity flow from there to the treatment plant . There is also a new 15% line between the Hospital and Wylie Butane Mobile Home Park and a parallel 15" line from Fleming St . to Treatment plant. Another phase of these improvements will come from Sanden Blvd. to Steel Road Industrial Park and also from Sanden Blvd. up to South Fork Mobile Home Park. This line will eliminate three (3) lift stations . Council also needs to look at the line from Newport Harbor down to the lift station on FM 544 . The money for this line is in the bonds that were sold, but the line itself has not been finalized for construction. There was talk of going with San Antonio Savings and Loan and coming through the Birmingham Land, but this has not come about as of this date, the other alternative is to come down FM 1378 to Presidential Estates, but this would have to be a lift station and force main .

Don White stated that staff has discovered the breakers have been tripping and the motors are not working properly. I called Sunset, but they are out of business and this is where these pumps come from. This lift station has been operating on one pump for some time, I A.., presented a memo to the prior city manager requesting to seek bids for repair work about three weeks ago. Today the pumps are just barely working . Mr . White said he was afraid this pump is going out and we will have a lot of problems at that time. This pump is running approximately 23 hours out of each day . Mr . White asked the Council if he could get three quotes on these repairs and begin work within a few days, or did council want to go the regular bid route which would take approximately 14 days to seek bids and then review the bids and bring back to council for award of bid. This would take some time to do. Motion was made by Councilwoman Stemple to declare this an emergency and seek quotes for repairs on Rush Creek Lift Station due to public heath threat and to begin work as soon as possible.
