3. CONSIDERATION AND ACCEPTANCE OF AN AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY
OF FRISCO FOR AN EFFLUENT LINE
Mayor Amick addressed several questions to Bill Hall, City
Manager. 1) Can the water be used for another need other
than a golf course. Mr. Hall stated it could but at this
time there is no other need with the possible exception of
B.B.Owens and that is not feasible.2)Is this for a 5 year
term and is all the effluent water committed or will 50% or
more be put into the lake. Mr. Hall said that it is for 5
years and that at least 50% will be put into the lake. 3)
Will the City of The Colony approve the pipe line? Mr. Hall
stated that we would and Mr. Millican(engineer) has been
keeping up with that. 4) Who is building the supply
facility. Mr. Hall stated that the facility is being
designed by Dannenbaum & Assoc., approved by Millican &
Assoc.(City engineers) and paid for by Camden Development,
at no cost to the City of The Colony.
Mayor Amick asked Mr. Hall about the proposed amendment to
section #4. Mr. Hall stated that after reviewing the
amendment was not necessary.
Mr. Smith said that the attorneys for the City of Frisco has
modified ppg 10, page 4 removing the City of The Colony,
stating that the City of Frisco will assume all
responsibility. Mayor Amick said to add "under supervision
of the City of The Colony personnel" throughout the contract
where access to The Colony's plant and easement was
addressed. Mayor Amick asked if The Colony will approve the
meter and Mr. Hall said that is part of the plans and specs
and that Mr. Millican is actually designing the meter. The
Mayor then addressed the section on Page 4 regarding
Frisco's right to use the easements, stating that would
benefit only Frisco and shouldn't it state that it can only
be used for effluent water going on to say 'that if it
doesn't then Frisco will be able to use the easement in
anyway. Mr. Smith stated that section addresses a 30' wide
easement granted by F & J for a future sewer line. Mayor
Amick said that section needs to be removed. Mr. Hall did
state that Frisco does want to negotiate with The Colony for
use of our wastewater. Mayor Amick said that is a separate
issue and should not be in this contract, stating the
following sentence should be struck from the contract it
it's entirety.
"Frisco shall have the right to use the easements and/or
rights of way at the city limits of The Colony located near
station 99 through station 139 which is located in the
vicinity of the Burlington Northern Railroad as shown on the
construction plans prepared by Dannenbaum Engineering
Corporation dated May 10, 1987 for the purpose of
installing, maintaining, repairing and/or replacing a
parallel sewer pipeline for the use and benefit of Frisco."
Councilman Spears moved to accept the agreement with the
noted amendments, and execution of agreement after the City
of Frisco has executed the amended agreement. Councilman
Glazener seconded the motion which carried with a unanimous
roll call vote.
With no further business to address, Councilman Bradley moved to
adjourn the meeting, and Councilman Poole seconded the motion
which carried with all members voting aye.
