B. Discuss suggestion from citizen to form a business alliance in partnership with the
city (Powell) City Manager Powell said he was contacted by citizen Karen McGffan
about the city working with businesses to form an alliance as a means of improving
communications with the businesses. This would be separate from the Chamber of
Commerce though could partner with them in the future to help promote city businesses.
Mayor McCourry and council members Connelly and Boyer spoke in favor. Mr. Powell
will work with Ms. McGuffin to get started on organization of a program.
C. Discuss a committee for water tower design (Miller) Assistant City Manager Tim
Miller told the council that the city will have a maintenance contract for the water towers
and along with that will plan to repaint the exterior. He asked if council wanted to form
a committee to collaborate on a design. The council generally agreed that no committee
would be formed but entries ji^om residents can be submitted for consideration by the
city. Additionally, no advertising on the towers will be considered. Tim said that he will
come up with a plan to advertise that ideas for design could be submitted.
D. Discuss Texas Commission Environmental Quality notice of enforcement action and
proposed agreed order (Maurina) Assistant City Manager Tod Maurina told the
council that TCEQ cited the city for several deficiencies, and named some that he is
planning to contest. He added that most of the issues have already been resolved. The
financial penalty imposed can be paid over time, or the city can submit a proposal to do a
Supplemental Environmental Project to defer penalty. Tod is working on this matter to
get it resolved.
