DISCUSSION OF FUTURE GROWTH PLANS WITH COLONY MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT #1 BOARD MEMBERS All M.U.D. Board members were present. They are as follows: George Dodson, Robert Hauck, William Longo, Sandra Shearer, and John Twomey. Mayor Sample briefly went over the changes to the Southern Planning Unit. Mr. Longo expressed his concern over the need to plan the elevations properly to prevent future drainage problems. He stressed the importance of the City and M.U.D. to work closely together. Mr. Longo said the streets are designed to surge run-off from storms. He went on to add that there are five major drainage problems within the City at the present time. Repairs are expected to run around $1 million dollars. Mayor Sample then addressed the Northeast and 423 Planning Units. Mr. Bill Hall, M.U.D. Manager, showed the Council a rendering site plan of the High School site. He said that because of the manhole cover on Arbor Glen and the size of the sewer pipe, drainage shouldn't be a problem. Mr. Longo said that Mr. Hall was working on a Master Plan of all existing water and sewer lines. Mr. Twomey advised those present that Dallas water is expected by late summer of 1984. He went on to say the planned end of construction date is April 15th, yet once we are on line it will still take time to get it into full operation. He said that during the hot months of July and August each year, a mix of Dallas and Colony water will be used to keep the cost down. He added that Dallas has gauranteed The Colony 13 million gallons of water daily. It was noted that in case of severe drought, our present well systems can be utilized. Councilman North addressed affluent water. Mr. Hall said that the City was welcome to use as much of it as it would like to water medians or for any other needs. Otherwise, it is pumped into Lake Lewisville. He went on to say that M.U.D. has a very accurate waste treatment plant. He felt it would be another 15 to 20 years before this city would need to consider entering the Trinity River Authority. With no further discussion, the Mayor announced the Council would now go back into Closed Session as authorized by Article 6252-17 of Vernon's Annotated Civil Statutes, as amended regarding litigation as called for in agenda item #6.
