00:01:47.800 consent agenda items a B and D passes how are these purchases of the recycling 00:01:47.800 --> 00:01:54.960 bins treated on the books are they assets that are depreciated or my 00:01:54.960 --> 00:01:57.640 understanding right now is we actually move this to an operating expense since 00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:01.400 these are fairly low cost items I think they're about 40 some odd dollars each 00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:05.200 depending on the size and so we just kind of treat those as an operational 00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:09.640 expense which comes in as a one-year expense okay that's correct all right 00:02:09.640 --> 00:02:20.760 thank you I'll second we have a motion and second to approve item C of the 00:02:20.760 --> 00:02:28.320 consent agenda any further

of the north-south phase 2 00:03:50.320 --> 00:03:57.240 36 inch 42 inch water transmission line project for the city of Denton providing 00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:05.760 for the expenditures of fund therefore and providing an effective date in the 00:04:05.760 --> 00:04:10.240 not to exceed amount of seven million seven hundred ninety eight thousand 00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:14.760 eight hundred seven dollars good morning board my name is Lee Perry I'm program 00:04:14.760 --> 00:04:18.440 manager for capital project delivery I'm here today talking about the north 00:04:18.440 --> 00:04:25.280 south water main phase 2 36 inches 42 42 inch water main project so we've got 00:04:25.280 --> 00:04:30.320 about 10,000 feet of water me we're going to install between Rose Lawn and I-35 00:04:30.320 --> 00:04:36.280 this is the second phase of this project it's going to follow along Bonnie Bray 00:04:36.280 --> 00:04:43.080 from Rose Lawn it's on the city's master plan this is one of the top five 00:04:43.080 --> 00:04:50.120 projects there oh sorry 00:04:50.120 --> 00:05:08.800 so this is on the city's water master plan it's one of the top five projects 00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:14.580 water projects that we need to that we need to get done the construction time 00:05:14.580 --> 00:05:17.880 frame is about a year 00:05:17.880 --> 00:05:27.760 so our bid results we got six bids in thali construction was a little better 00:05:27.760 --> 00:05:32.560 at just under 7.8 million our engineers estimate was 8.4 million and the high 00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:37.560 bid was at 9.8 million so our estimate was was sitting right in the middle of 00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:43.080 the the six bid so we feel pretty good about our our bidder that we got our 00:05:43.080 --> 00:05:46.760 consultant recommended approval they've this contractor hasn't worked for the 00:05:46.760 --> 00:05:49.920 city of Denton in the past but our our consultant has worked with them on other 00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:58.640 projects and so they recommended them for approval and so we are here 00:05:58.640 --> 00:06:03.480 recommending that y'all recommend approval for the construction contract 00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:11.520 without any construction set just under 7.8 million if you have any questions 00:06:11.520 --> 00:06:18.000 does this project have anything to do will it have anything to do with the 377 00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:25.720 extension is it no there will be a third phase which is the final phase of this 00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:30.800 project which goes from I-35 up to McKenna Park along Bonnie Bray as well 00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:35.080 and that will complete the loop or I'll say the loop but that will complete the 00:06:35.080 --> 00:06:40.880 link between Ray Roberts and then Rose Lawn the transmission main at Rose Lawn 00:06:40.880 --> 00:06:47.240 are they gonna have to dig up Bonnie Bray yes so related question is it 00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:51.440 connected to the expansion of Bonnie Bray this will go ahead of the roadway 00:06:51.440 --> 00:06:55.480 project okay yes this will be constructed this year and then the 00:06:55.480 --> 00:07:00.380 roadway project will begin towards the beginning of next of 2020 are they 00:07:00.380 --> 00:07:06.160 dependent on each other schedule-wise yes yeah we need to get the water line in 00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:09.800 first this is such a big project we want to get this out of the way before we 00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:20.240 start the roadway does this replace existing transmission lines or are they 00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:26.520 is this all additional capacity this is new this is right now there's kind of a 00:07:26.520 --> 00:07:31.360 bottleneck between Rose Lawn and McKenna Park we got a 42 inch down to a 16 inch 00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:40.000 so this is to increase that okay capacity okay yeah any further questions 00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:42.640 or discussion 00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:57.320 yeah the feedback that I received was that they did a pretty good job at 00:07:57.320 --> 00:08:01.800 completing their projects on time and so we don't have any reason to think 00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:15.760 otherwise I know I've I've worked with SJ Lewis construction personally in 00:08:15.760 --> 00:08:22.440 another city but the other contractors I didn't recognize them Tim might might 00:08:22.440 --> 00:08:30.240 have some this is just a loose yeah just okay okay I actually have one more 00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:36.840 question okay maybe just general assumption but we see a lot of projects 00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:42.280 and and I guess my assumption all along although it doesn't come up much I don't 00:08:42.280 --> 00:08:51.200 think is that the city requires that all of these companies like this are bonded 00:08:51.200 --> 00:09:09.000 yeah great no further discussion do we have a motion for approval of me second 00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:17.760 and a second any further discussion or comments all those in favor of approving 00:09:17.760 --> 00:09:25.040 item B for individual consideration say aye aye those against nay motion approved 00:09:25.040 --> 00:09:34.680 is approved item C is the ACM update sure yes mr. vice chair members of the 00:09:34.680 --> 00:09:39.800 board a few things to report in your in your packet you'll see a memo from 00:09:39.800 --> 00:09:45.920 Kenny banks to me about a water system fee for 2018 typically we would bring 00:09:45.920 --> 00:09:50.600 those things to the PUB to get approved and then paid unfortunately with the 00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:55.000 fact that the PUB did not meet at the end of December the invoice was sent by 00:09:55.000 --> 00:10:00.560 Lee was TCEQ and they needed a 30-day turnaround on that annual payment so we 00:10:00.560 --> 00:10:04.800 went ahead and and process that through our finance department but wanted to 00:10:04.800 --> 00:10:09.200 provide just a little bit of an overview for you all to let you know that that 00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:13.640 payment went ahead so that we would not be behind on that payment the other 00:10:13.640 --> 00:10:17.840 thing that you have other items you have in your packet are presentation 00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:22.960 material that was presented by PS Aurora late last year the fourth quarter 00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:26.280 financial report if you have any questions I believe David Gaines is here 00:10:26.280 --> 00:10:30.960 to answer any specifics that you have and then the future agenda list was a 00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:36.740 few

for you I went through most of the fourth quarter 00:10:50.800 --> 00:11:03.160 financial report and then I noticed on the matrix that my request for the CIP 00:11:03.160 --> 00:11:08.520 and bomb projects some information on those it looked like it was that with is 00:11:08.520 --> 00:11:14.640 that that information or are we going to discuss that at the 24 no sir my 00:11:14.640 --> 00:11:20.800 intentions if we can get everything put together is to have is to have a verbal 00:11:20.800 --> 00:11:27.440 report to the PUB on on CIP so just present that information to the board 00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:31.480 hopefully it meets the needs of the board and then if so then we'll continue 00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:43.240 that process on a quarterly basis okay okay thank you so item three for 00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:48.040 concluding items under section five five one zero four two of the Texas Open 00:11:48.040 --> 00:11:52.760 Meetings Act would respond to inquiries from the public identity board or the 00:11:52.760 --> 00:11:58.200 public with specific factual information of recitation of policy or accept a 00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:02.880 proposal to place the matter on the agenda for an upcoming meeting I'm not 00:12:02.880 --> 00:12:06.120 going to read the rest of that but does anybody like would like anything brought 00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:14.360 up on the agenda or anything to add to the new business matrix nobody was 00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:19.360 requesting any additional information or items for future so I guess we need a 00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:32.080 motion to adjourn this meeting so we can proceed I think we need a motion to 00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:44.360 adjourn is that correct but do we need a motion to close it okay all right so at 00:12:44.360
