This plan addresses the incompleted capital improvements program required by the Enforcement Order at an estimated cost of $1 , 800 , 000 . This plan, if approved, will act to eliminate the existing pump and haul method of transporting wastewater and address existing collection system inadequacies. SECTION 2 WASTEWATER COLLECTION SYSTEM CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE The attached Exhibit B, Wastewater Collection System Construction Schedule (schedule) , is the schedule to be submitted to the Texas Water Commission for approval and will be carried out with the utmost diligence. SECTION 3 FINANCING Furthermore, North Texas Municipal Water District is authorized to apply for funding from the Texas Water Development Board in the amount of $1 , 800 ,000 for the construction of the wastewater collection system improvements . SECTION 4 CONTRACT SALES AGREEMENT WITH NORTH TEXAS MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT The Contract Sales Agreement with North Texas Municipal Water District executed June 25, 1987 is hereby reaffirmed , especially the commitment to pledge the necessary utility system revenues and, if necessary , property tax revenues for the purposes of meeting debt service payments to North Texas Municipal Water District for the retirement of the S1 ,800,000 bonds. SECTION 5 REQUEST FOR A TIME EXTENSION TO MEET THE CONDITIONS OF THE TEXAS WATER COMMISSION ENFORCEMENT ORDER The City of Wylie respectfully requests that the TWC grant a reasonable time extension for completing the proposed amended wastewater collection system improvements (Exhibits A & B) submitted by the City on or before January 20 , 1989 to the TWC Staff . The reasons for this request are as follows : The original plan did not adequately address the needs for reliably solving the existing facility deficiencies ( i .e. undersized lift station pumping capacities at the Park Lift Station and the Southfork Mobile Home Community Lift Station System, and the insufficient capacity for added growth in the Rush Creek Lift Station District) . Moreover , the Staff has struggled with the dilemma of finding a palatable financing and construction plan that could be included in the ongoing collection system improvements and paid for through the existing operating budget and capital improvement plan given the fact that the water and sewer rates have been increased fifty-four percent (54%) in eighteen (18) months to fund the wastewater treatment plant expansion and the initial stages of the wastewater collection system improvements . However , financing with existing resources was not feasible; therefore, Staff finally resolved to recommend the additional debt borrowings necessary to fund the revisions to the plan . PASSED AND APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WYLIE, TEXAS ON THIS THE 14TH DAY OF JANUARY, 1989.
