"This Public Hearing is being 13 held to receive input for a project to install a 14 Sanitary Sewer Collection System in the area known 15 as the Eastvale Section of the City of The Colony. 16 The Sanitary Sewer Collection System is to be 17 funded through a loan under the Texas Water 18 Development Board's State Revolving Fund. The 19 loan is in the amount of $1,080,000. 20 Citizen's input is requested regarding 21 the Environmental Information Document; which will 22 be presented - the Engineering Design Plan, which 23 will be presented tonight, and the method of 24 repayment for this loan. 25 Repayment is proposed to be through a 1 user-based sewer fee to all residents of The 2 Colony, in a ~rojected amount not to exceed $1.15 3 per month per residence, over a period of the 4 loan, which is proposed to be twenty years. 5 The Engineering Design and 6 Environmental documents were prepared by the 7 engineering firm of Freeman-Millican, 8 Incorporated, and Mr. Larry Freeman will present 9 these documents and the potential impact of this 10 project on the City." 11 Is this public hearing in the nature 12 that would need a motion? Do we need a motion? 13 MR. HALL: Open by letting him make his 14 presentation. 15 MAYOR AMICK: All right, the way we 16 will proceed is that we will have a presentation 17 by Mr. Larry Freeman and following that 18 presentation, I will then open the meeting uD and 19 it will be a public hearing to hear comments from 20 the citizens. 21 Also, we will be recording all 22 comments through a court reporter, which is 23 required under this loan process, that we present 24 a documented legal transcript of the proceedings 25 of the hearing. ' 4 1 At this time, ~r. Larry Freeman will~6~0_0 2 make his presentation. 3 MR. FREEMAN: My name is Larry Freeman. 4 I'm with Freeman-Millican Consulting Engineers of 5 Dallas. We have prepared an engineering plan and 6 also an environmental information document on the 7 proposed project. I'll include, really, both of 8 those as I go through this and then, as the Mayor 9 said, we will have a Question and answer session 10 so that you can ask questions on it. I'll be here 11 to answer any questions and we need your input. 12 The project is for the Eastvale area 13 located in the City of The Colony. The property 14 adjoins Lake Lewisville. The area currently does 15 not have sanitary sewerage. It has septic tanks 16 and, because of the clay material that exists here 17 in this area and in The Colony area -- as a matter 18 of fact, it is impermeable clay. It is not 19 suitable for septic tanks unless you have lots 20 that are in the order of one acre in area or 21 more. So, obviously, the residents are having 22 problems with their septic tanks overflowing, 23 which is not too surprising. 24 The effect causes a potential health 25 problem for people that live there and also it 1 causes potential problems in that the overflow 2 eventually finds its way into Lake Lewisville, 3 which is a drinking water supply for the City of 4 Lewisville. 5 The project will be in an area that has 6 been piped and also that has streets already in 7 place. The selected project, the one that we 8 think is the most cost effective, is a project 9 that includes sewer lines that would run into 10 right-of-way of the street and also it will have 11 two lift stations; one located approximately in 12 this area and one located over in here 13 (indicating) that would collect the sewerage and 14 pump it back up into a gravity sewar that would 15 then connect into a thirty-inch, an existing 16 thirty-inch sewer, that's located -- that runs 17 along in this area. This lift station will pump 18 directly into the waste 19 water treatment plant. 20 As you know, the City currently has a 21 waste water treatment plant. It's called 22 Stewart Creek Plant and it was designed for an 23 average flow of two point five (2.5) millions 24 gallons per day. 25 The project does not have -- does not 6 1 endanger the habitat of endangered species. It is 2 not located in an area that we've had, from an 3 historical standpoint -- would be regulated. The 4 plant itself is, as I said before, set at two 5 point five (2.5) million gallons per day and, with 6 a population projection of -- in the year 2010 of 7 twenty-five thousand, one hundred and eighty for 8 the City of The Colony, the flow in 2010 to this 9 plant is not expected to exceed its capacity. 10 Also, the existing sewars in town will 11 not be affected. This thirty inch line is the one 12 that really affected it and we've done a capacity 13 study on it. We estimate that the caDacity of 14 that line is about twelve million gallons a day 15 and the flow, with ultimate development, is only 16 eight million gallons per day, so we don't have a 17 problem with that. 18 Therefore, we think that the waste 19 water treatment plant and the other sewers in town 20 are adequate for the population of twenty-five 21 thousand, one hundred and eighty, which is the 22 North Central Texas Council of Government's 23 estimate of the population in the year 2010. 24 We've studied four different 25 alternates, the first of which was to take no 7 1 action at all and keep it the way it is. The last 2 was to construct this particular system. The next 3 alternative we studied was to replat the area and 4 enlarge the lots to one acre and put septic tanks, 5 as they are today. And the fourth, for the City 6 to use the existing platted lots and install in 7 every household what is known as a 8 evapotranspiration system. Essentially, that 9 would take uD one-third of the lot, a fifty by a 10 hundred and fifty lot size, and it is fairly 11 expensive, about a hundred thousand dollars Der 12 lot. 13 We felt that the expenditure of a 14 $1,080,000.00 -- we have done a cost estimate on 15 that and we've done a cost estimate on the others 16 and it is the most cost effective. To replat and 17 remove and relocate folks, it would cost somewhere 18 in the $7,000,000.00 range. To put in an 19 evapotranspiration system, it would be somewhere 20 in the neighborhood of $3,000,000.00, so we feel 21 that's the most cost effective and best way to 22 pursue this project. 23 With that, I would -- 24 MR. WEAVER: It's a million and eighty 25 thousand not a million eight thousand. 003568 1 MR. FREEMAN: A million and eighty 2 thousand, I'm sorry. 3 MR. WEAVER: Eighty. 4 MR. FREEMAN: Eighty, eight zero, one 5 0 eight zero, yes, sir, $1,080,000.00. 6 MR. WEAVERs Right. Just for the 7 record, $1,080,000.00. 8 MR. FREEMAN: With that, I would close 9 my comments. I would be open for questions and 10 answers at the public hearing. 11 MAYOR AMICK: What I would like to do 12 at this time is open the public hearing. If 13 anybody has any ~uestions concerning Larry's 14 presentation, please ask them now. If there are 15 those of you who want to speak in general on the 16 proposal, please hold that until we're finished 17 with the questions for Larry at this point in 18 time. 19 Does anybody have any questions over 20 the presentation by Mr. Freeman? 21 GENTLEMAN: Yes, sir. I don't 22 understand -- 23 MAYOR AMICK: Sir, what we have to have 24 in this case with the court reporter, we will have 25 to have your name and address for the record, so ~ 9 00356' 1 please state that first and then go ahead and ask 2 your question. 3 MR. MILLSTEIN: I am Kurt Millstein, 4 4538 West Lake Highland, The Colony, Texas. I 5 wasn't clear on one of the alternatives, which 6 was -- 7 MR. FREEMAN: The evapotranspiration 8 system? 9 MR. MILLSTEIN: Yes. 10 MR. FREEMAN: That is a system that is 11 very similar to a septic tank. The difference is 12 that it can be two or three different designs. 13 Essentially what you do is, you dig enough volume 14 out and replace that with sand. You take the clay 15 material out and replace it with sand and put the 16 septic system in the sand. You can plant a tree 17 or bushes or grass on top of that and essentially 18 it evaporates up and it also transpirates so it 19 goes out through the vegetation that's on top. 20 That's mainly a evapotranspiration system. It is 21 very similar to a septic system except you replace 22 the clay material, which is impermeable and will 23 not allow the water to go through, with the sand. 24 MR. MILLSTEIN: Well, you mentioned 25 that it takes one-third of the lot that is a one- 10 00356 1 fifty by fifty lot? 2 MR. FREEMAN: It takes about one-third 3 of that fifty by one hundred and fifty foot lot, 4 yes, sir. 5 MR. MILLSTEIN: I'm not clear on why it 6 takes so -- is that part of it useless at this 7 point? Could you use that area -- 8 MR. FREEMAN: That area would still be 9 useful. That, by the way, just for the record, 10 meets the state health department criteria. 11 MR. MILLSTEI~: Did you say that was 12 like a $5,000.00 cost to the owner? 13 MR. FREEMAN: We estimated that as a 14 $5,000.00 cost. 15 MR. MILLSTEIN: To the owner? 16 MR. FREEMAN: To the lot, per 17 homeowner. I would guess so, yes. 18 MAYOR AMICK: Any further questions of 19 Mr. Freeman? Okay. Thank you, Larry. 20 At this time the public hearing is 21 open. If you want to address the Council with any 22 comments on this particular item, I need for you 23 to come to the podium and -- do you have a sign-in 24 sheet there, Patti? -- please sign and put your 25 name and address. We will wait for you. Don't 11 00886 i feel rushed. 2 MR. WALKER: I've already put my name 3 down. It's on the list. 4 MAYOR AMICK: Please repeat it for this 5 gentleman. 6 MR. WALKER: My name is Art Walker. I 7 live at 4816 Pemberton, The Colony. 8 In the beginning when the Eastvale 9 annexation subject first came up, the City Council 10 at that time repeatedly asked how much it was 11 going to cost the other people in the City of The 12 Colony and they were repeatedly told that it was 13 not going to cost anything. 14 Now, I realize that $1.10 a month is 15 not much, but that's over a twenty-year period and 16 I think there is a better way that you can finance 17 this than taxing all the people in the city. 18 The city has about $3,000,000.00 in CDs 19 stacked away in banks. Take a $1,000,000.00 of 20 that, go ahead and put this in and assess the 21 individual people that this is going to affect 22 because, when they get the sewer in, their 23 property values are going to go up and the rest of 24 the people in the city should not have to pay for 25 those property value increases that they're going 12 1 to benefit from. 2 I think it would be a better idea to 3 just make a one-time assessment and let them come 4 up with the money and then they could pay that off 5 in any manner that they chose rather than drag 6 this out over a twenty-year period because a 7 twenty-year period, this would break down into 8 something like about $1,500.00 per residence over 9 there. Over a twenty-year period, this is going 10 to amount to something like $3,000.00 or $3,200.00 1! and they could finance that individually much 12 cheaper than that. 13 Then, after the one-time assessment is 14 over, you could put your money back in the bank 15 and go on about your business. In other words, 16 get this taken care of without dragging it out 17 twenty years. Thank you. 18 MAYOR AMICK: Thank you. Anyone else 19 care to speak at this time? 20 MS. ABEL: My name is Melanie Abel. 21 I live at 8524 Lakecrest Drive. 22 It is my understanding that we cannot 23 assess the residents of the Eastvale Addition for 24 the repayment of the low-interest loan for the 25 installation of a sewer system. The Texas Water 13 1 Development Board says we cannot target an area, 2 but must include the entire City of The Colony. 3 We also cannot use our ad valorem taxes because 4 there simply are no excess taxes to be used. 5 When we became a part of The Colony, we 6 agreed to the tax increase from $.34 to $.74. 7 Therefore, we agreed to pay for the same things 8 the other residents of The Colony are paying for. 9 We pay for the improvement to the water system and 10 streets, for previous bonds, the Parks and 11 Recreation Department, the library, pool, et 12 cetera. There really isn't any excess money. 13 However, sewerage of the Eastvale 14 Addition cannot be delayed. It is only a matter 15 of time before the Health Department and/or the 16 EPA get wind of the situation. After all, 17 hazardous waste and raw sewerage is draining into 18 the lake or laying on top of the ground, not to 19 mention the inconvenience of not being able to 20 flush at random or go out in my own back yard. 21 It has come to my attention that 22 Eastvale versus Hawks lawsuit is nearing 23 completion. What will be done with this money? 24 Could it be used as part of the loan repayment? 25 After some extensive research, I feel I 14 00357 1 must support the city-wide assessment of not more 2 than $1.15 per customer per month. 3 Please let me state that nowhere in my 4 research did I find any agreements to a set amount 5 of money being put back into Eastvale. I believe 6 this was up for discussion or merely a verbal 7 agreement. Although, I understand that the 8 present Council is in agreement that this should 9 be done, the only agreements that I could find was 10 that The Colony would maintain the existing roads 11 and water system, the City of The Colony will, 12 within two and a half years, commence a master 13 plan for improvement and the City of The Colony 14 would employ a police chief, city secretary and 15 water manager. That's just to set the record 16 straight. 17 As far as The Colony not wanting to 18 help us pay for our sewer system, I'm sorry but we 19 are paying for your previous bonds. We're helping 20 you pay for the library and the pool. We're 21 helping you pay for things that we didn't get 22 benefit from before. Yes, we are benefitting now, 23 but we would like you to help bring us up to the 24 standards that you set. Thank you. 25 MAYOR AMICK: Thank you. Does anyone 15 003571 1 else have any inDut at this time? This is a 2 public hearing. Anyone may speak on this subject. 3 MR. SKINNER: My name is Jim Skinner, 4 4844, Pemberton, The Colony. 5 I guess the main thing I have a 6 question about this is the same thing Mr. Walker 7 brought up about the problems of including the 8 cost to any other members in the City of The 9 Colony for the sewer system over in Eastvale. 10 Having owned property in Eastvale and 11 also The Colony, I stand to benefit both ways and 12 lose both ways. I think, if this goes through as 13 proposed, I stand to gain a lot more than I stand 14 to lose, so on behalf of all the interested 15 parties in the City of The Colony that stand 16 around and gripe all the time about why this is 17 being done and why that's being done and all the 18 vacant seats you see out here, I think I've said 19 enough right there. Nobody particularly gives a 20 damn to come on out and take care of what they've 21 really got a gripe about. 22 With that, gentlemen, it's all in your 23 hands. Do the best thing you can with it. 24 MAYOR AMICK: Thank you. This is a 25 public hearing. Anyone may speak on this subject 16 1 at this time. If there are any other comments, 2 please come to the podium, 3 MS. ABEL: I would like to make one 4 comment. 5 MAYOR AMICK: Please come to the 6 podium. 7 MS. ABEL: I'm Melanie Abel. My 8 husband just sat there and figured up, if we all 9 continue and, say, we paid $1.10, the entire 10 Colony, each person, over twenty years that person 11 would pay $264.00. As I understood, from talking 12 to Bill Hall the other day, at this rate, as more 13 and more people moved into The Colony, the rate 14 would be decreased on down. Just to make that 15 public. 16 MAYOR AMICK: Thank you. Any other 17 comments at this time? If there are no further 18 comments, I will close the public hearing. I will 19 give you one last chance. Are there any further 20 comments? 21 MR. MILLER: I have a comment. 22 MAYOR AMICK: Yes, sir. Please come to 23 the podium. 24 MR. MILLER: My name is Dave Miller. I 25 live at 4524 Lake Highland. I have more of a 17 0 0 3 5 7 1 question versus a comment. I was wondering how 2 this is going to take place or what decision, who 3 will make the decision. I live in the old 4 Eastvale area and I'm interested in this going 5 through. I'm not clear on how it is going to be 6 proposed to the citizens of The Colony or -- 7 MAYOR AMICK: Mr. Hall, could you 8 review the procedure that must be followed at this 9 point? 10 MR. ~ALL: Yes, sir. The process that 11 we're going through at this particular time, the 12 review and public input for the environmental 13 information document and the engineering design 14 plan, as was presented by Mr. Freeman, those 15 documents, along with a statement as to a proposed 16 financing of this loan of $1,080,000.00, that will 17 be presented to the Texas Water Development Board 18 not later than the 15th of March. 19 That is the first and preliminary step 20 in the application process for the money. If, at 21 that Darticular time, following the 15th of March, 22 the Texas Water Development Board will review the 23 documents that we have presented to them and, if 24 they find, in their words, that it is 25 administratively correct, they will contact the 18 00357 1 City and tell us that the loan has, in fact, been 2 approved and that we should at that particular 3 time proceed forward with a financial plan. 4 That financial plan will get with our 5 finance adviser, First Southwest, specifically. 6 We will lay out a proposed repayment plan for the 7 project that will be placed on the City Council 8 agenda along with the repayment plan. That will, 9 at that time, be acted upon by the City Council. 10 MR. MILLER: Does the Council have to 11 take any action prior to the presentation at the 12 state level on this item? 13 MR. HALL: No, sir. 14 MR. MILLER: All we have to present is, 15 this is the plan, and the whole process is 16 understood, that we will have to take final action 17 on it? 18 MR. HALL: Yes, sir, that's correct. 19 This is a preliminary action. At the time that 20 the application is approved by the Water 21 Development Board, then the Council will take 22 formal action to move forward with the actual loan 23 itself and the repayment process for it. 24 MR. MILLER: And that formal action 25 would be what? ' 19 00357' ' 1 MAYOR AMICK: It would be by vote of 2 the Council. It would be a resolution or 3 ordinance which will require voting 4 of Council. 5 MR. MILLER: Okay, in a Council 6 session? 7 MAYOR AMICK: In a regular Council 8 session where we will call a vote, which is normal 9 procedure. 10 MR. MILLER: So there will not be a 11 city election? 12 MAYOR AMICK: Oh, no, sir. 13 MR. MILLER: And the Council, I 14 understand or I feel, anyway, thinks that this is 15 a good idea, the proposal that was made tonight? 16 MAYOR AMICK: I don't know the position 17 of the Council members. If they care to speak, 18 they may do so. They may want to reserve comment 19 until they've had an opportunity to review it and 20 consider it further. If they care to speak, any 21 one of them may do so at this time. 22 My preliminary feeling is that I would 23 like to be supportive. 24 MR. WEAVER: I would be supportive. 25 MR. MILLER: I'd like to hear that I 20 00357b 1 because I think it is very necessary that 2 something is done about the situation over there. 3 We've known it was like that for a long time and 4 one of the things that was promised to the City of 5 Eastvale residents in one of the early meetings 6 was that we would be able to take care of that 7 easier if we went into The Colony and that's why 8 that vote went through by only four votes. Some 9 of the people didn't believe it and it was a close 10 election. Thank you. 11 MAYOR AMICK: Thank you. At this time 12 is there anyone else who would care to speak on 13 this subject? Last chance. 14 All right. I'm closing the public 15 hearing and, at this time, I will entertain a 16 motion to adjourn the meeting. 17 MR. MARKS: I would like to address a 18 question. The $1.15, is that the new figure? I 19 didn't hear. $1.08 or $1.107 20 MAYOR AMICK: That was a guesstimate at 21 a prior meeting when the question was raised by 22 Councilman Manning as to what would it be. 23 Someone proposed -- I think one of the 24 representatives proposed to Councilman Manning the 25 question what would it be if it was across the I 21 00357o 1 city and it was estimated. I think $1.08 was the 2 number that I can remember. 3 MR. MARKS: That's correct. 4 MAYOR AMICK: But this is the actual 5 number since they've had time to work on it. 6 MR. HALL: We were very careful, in 7 the wording of this, to make sure that the 8 transcript -- in that it does say in an amount not 9 to exceed $1.15. It will be less than that, we 10 feel quite sure. But in order to make a formal 11 presentation and to comply with the Water 12 Development rules, we did have to establish an 13 amount of money, so we worked this out, an 14 amortization schedule. Along with the engineers, 15 we feel that the amount will be less than $1.15 16 per month per resident. However, better safe than 17 sorry. 18 MR. MARKS: Do you feel pretty certain 19 it will be less? 20 MR. HALL: Yes, sir. 21 MR. MARKS: I don't like the "not to 22 exceed" clause in contracts, but I guess -- 23 MR. HALL: Again, the reason why we 24 went with that terminology is that this something 25 that will have to be acted on by Council at that ~ 22 1 particular time, the established rate of less than 2 $1.15, whatever rate it happens to be, will be 3 formal action by the Council. 4 MR. WITHERS: You mentioned a while ago 5 a timetable on this. When did you say we would 6 hear from the Water Development Board? 7 MR. HALL: We don't know specifically. 8 The only things that we do, in fact, or that we 9 are aware of at this particular time, is that 10 these documents that were addressed tonight, along 11 with the transcript that is being taken at this 12 time, must be in the hands of the Water 13 Development Board not later than the 15th of 14 March. 15 Following that and their review 16 process, they will notify us of any further 17 action. 18 MR. WITHERS: So by March 15th, we will 19 need to make a commitment one way or the other on 20 it; is that what you're saying? 21 MR. HALL: No, sir. The public hearing 22 and the presentation to the public of the 23 environmental information document and the 24 engineering plan and the proposal for financing, 25 those documents have to be in Austin. 23 ' O0 ESi - 1 MAYOR AMICK: This may be helpful. If 2 I recall, all of us agreed that we should proceed 3 to the point -- to the break point where we have 4 to make the decision. In a prior meeting, we were 5 talking about assessments to the residents of the 6 Eastvale area only and we learned in Austin that 7 that was not legal, it would have to be city-wide. 8 Therefore, you have the proposal before 9 you for the city-wide. Following along with what 10 the Council said before, that we would go to the 11 break point where we had to make a decision, 12 therefore it was going on the assumption that the 13 city-wide cost would not exceed $1.15 and, when we 14 reach the point where we vote on it, that's 15 where the decision would be made. 16 MR. WITHERS: I guess the reason I'm 17 asking, I was just wondering if there is some way 18 we could maybe put some kind of referendum on the 19 ballot. 20 MAYOR AMICK: I would not support a 21 referendum because I think it is a decision the 22 Council has to make. I don't think we have the 23 time to do it. I would vote against doing that. 24 MR. WITHERS: What effect, or is it 25 going to have an affect, on the actual connection 24 00358z 1 of each individual to the sewer system and those 2 who can't afford it? What kind of rules -- are we 3 ready to set up some rules and regulations as far 4 as hookup is concerned, those who can't afford it 5 and pay out that? Is that set in place? 6 MR. HALL: No, sir, that is not part 7 of this process at this time. This is just an 8 exclusive that you install the trunk sewer line. 9 However, in response to your question, the staff, 10 again, has prepared, again, some preliminary 11 figures for that. The total number of residential 12 services in the area at this particular time is 13 two hundred and thirty-six. There are sixteen 14 commercial services. The total expense that we 15 have calculated at this time to install all of 16 those services is $340,700.00. Breaking that 17 down over the two hundred and thirty-six 18 residents, the average cost would be $1,443.65. 19 Again, let me mention what I have once 20 before. That average cost is the overall 21 connection and it will vary depending upon how 22 close a residence is to the street, if you will. 23 Thre are some residences over there -- and I think 24 North Horseshoe is one of those in particular -- 25 where there are some homes that are set back in a 25 1 cul-de-sac three to four hundred feet. Therefore, 2 that particular residence is going to pay more 3 just simply because it is farther away from the 4 sewer line than some of those along Lake Highland, 5 for instance, that are closer to the road. That 6 is an average cost and is definitely not a per- 7 unit cost at all. 8 MR. WITHERS: Are we going to be able 9 to -- I know that when we got together with and 10 Southwestern Bell, they broke it out in quarterly 11 payments and made it affordable for everybody. 12 Are you going to be able to do this kind of thing? 13 MR. }{ALL: That is an action the 14 Council would have to take in a subsequent 15 meeting. 16 MR. WEAVER: Actually, that somewhat 17 depends upon the individuals, too, because the 18 Billy can put in his own, if he wants to, if he 19 follows the city guidelines. He may put it in for 20 just the cost of the pipe. 21 So somebody else, some elderly woman 22 who can't dig a hole, she probably will have to do 23 it -- so these figures that Bill is putting out is 24 largely dependent upon you, for most of it, as 25 individuals that can do what you want to do with 26 1 respect to that. 2 MAYOR AMICK: At this time, if there 3 are no further questions, I will entertain a 4 motion for adjournment. 5 MR.
