1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,059 - Good morning and welcome to the regularly scheduled 2 00:00:04,059 --> 00:00:06,599 public utilities board meeting for the city of Denton. 3 00:00:06,599 --> 00:00:10,519 Today is Monday, June 8th and it is 9 a.m. 4 00:00:10,519 --> 00:00:12,380 Our meeting is called to order. 5 00:00:12,380 --> 00:00:15,119 Do we have any public comments? 6 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:21,120 Moving on to our next item on the agenda, consent agenda. 7 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,800 Would any member like to pull an item for discussion? 8 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:28,960 I have a few questions on item F. 9 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:33,520 So I'd like to receive a presentation on that 10 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,880 after we work through the rest of the consent agenda. 11 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,280 - On the approval of A through E. 12 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,880 - We have a motion for approval of the consent agenda. 13 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:47,719 - Second. 14 00:00:47,719 --> 00:00:49,479 - Items A through E and a second. 15 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:50,560 All in favor say aye. 16 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:51,719 - Aye. 17 00:00:51,719 --> 00:00:53,320 - Any opposed? 18 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,520 Motion carries unanimously. 19 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,159 And now item F. 20 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,299 (murmuring) 21 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:09,519 - Good morning board. 22 00:01:09,519 --> 00:01:10,519 My name is Charlie Rosenthal. 23 00:01:10,519 --> 00:01:12,079 I'm the director of development services 24 00:01:12,079 --> 00:01:13,560 for the city of Denton. 25 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,400 I don't have a presentation, but I do have some answers 26 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,319 to some of the questions you ask. 27 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,480 And so I just go through the list of questions here 28 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:22,959 and then if anybody else has any questions, 29 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:24,560 I'd be happy to answer those too. 30 00:01:25,599 --> 00:01:30,599 So the first one was really related to how temporary 31 00:01:31,099 --> 00:01:35,400 this temporary wastewater treatment facility would be. 32 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,879 And so we're expecting the Clear Creek interceptor 33 00:01:38,879 --> 00:01:43,200 to be ready by the end of 2028 or early 2029. 34 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:48,200 And so this developer would start the process 35 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,319 of development after city council considers 36 00:01:50,319 --> 00:01:53,079 and approves the development agreement on the 16th. 37 00:01:53,079 --> 00:01:57,599 And so it's really dependent on how quickly they move 38 00:01:57,599 --> 00:02:00,319 following council approval. 39 00:02:00,319 --> 00:02:04,280 But at most, it's a two year timeline between now and then 40 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,079 and with their development timeline, 41 00:02:07,079 --> 00:02:10,879 the plant would be online for roughly a year, 42 00:02:10,879 --> 00:02:11,840 a year and a half. 43 00:02:15,479 --> 00:02:18,379 And then the next question was if the water 44 00:02:18,379 --> 00:02:20,639 and wastewater was sized for future development 45 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,080 and particularly around Craver Ranch. 46 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:27,520 So this development is building a water line 47 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,979 that's sized to our master plan. 48 00:02:29,979 --> 00:02:32,479 They would have to build a wastewater line 49 00:02:32,479 --> 00:02:34,120 and it's in a different basin 50 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,639 than what the Clear Creek development would be. 51 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,840 And so they would be building a wastewater line 52 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,199 that's sized for their development. 53 00:02:41,199 --> 00:02:45,000 We don't have anything in the master plan in the near term 54 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,360 for that area as far as where that wastewater line would go 55 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:48,560 . 56 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,520 And so water, yes, it would be built to serve that region 57 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,039 in accordance with the master plan, 58 00:02:54,039 --> 00:02:57,080 but wastewater, it would just be for their development. 59 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,039 - And is that just because of, 60 00:03:00,039 --> 00:03:03,240 so the wastewater master plan includes 61 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,159 all of the various future developments. 62 00:03:05,159 --> 00:03:08,599 Like I know Craver Ranch is up there, 63 00:03:08,599 --> 00:03:10,360 there used to be a development in process 64 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,919 called Hills of Denton North and there are a few others. 65 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,840 So that the master plan already includes 66 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,879 all of that kind of expected development in that area. 67 00:03:16,879 --> 00:03:19,360 - Correct, and the Clear Creek Interceptor runs 68 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,479 through the Hills of Denton property. 69 00:03:22,479 --> 00:03:25,800 This one's a little further north off of Milam Road 70 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,759 and there's not been a ton of development interest 71 00:03:28,759 --> 00:03:29,879 out that way. 72 00:03:29,879 --> 00:03:33,080 And then Craver Ranch is actually further east 73 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,719 of this development. 74 00:03:34,719 --> 00:03:37,780 And we've been discussing with them extensions 75 00:03:37,780 --> 00:03:39,879 of their wastewater infrastructure in accordance 76 00:03:39,879 --> 00:03:42,520 with the agreement the city had for them, 77 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:43,680 but it's not really in line 78 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,379 with where this development's occurring. 79 00:03:45,379 --> 00:03:48,879 - Okay, so this, but this, their contributions 80 00:03:48,879 --> 00:03:51,680 in construction there will be appropriate 81 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,080 for the master plan, maybe not affected by Craver Ranch. 82 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,759 - Yeah, at least the water portion would be, 83 00:03:57,759 --> 00:04:00,120 wastewater would be sized for their development. 84 00:04:02,719 --> 00:04:05,599 I think the next question was if this delays anything 85 00:04:05,599 --> 00:04:08,360 with the Clear Creek Interceptor, it does not. 86 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,000 So the way the development agreement for this would work 87 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,919 is they would be allowed to construct a temporary plant 88 00:04:13,919 --> 00:04:16,399 that the city would own and operate 89 00:04:16,399 --> 00:04:17,920 that would come off of line 90 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,040 when the Clear Creek Interceptors completed. 91 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,879 And so that project's still moving forward 92 00:04:23,879 --> 00:04:26,519 and doesn't affect the timeline of that project at all. 93 00:04:31,540 --> 00:04:33,879 - Are there any other questions from the board? 94 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,120 I have one follow-up question. 95 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,100 The temporary water treatment plant 96 00:04:39,100 --> 00:04:41,720 or water reclamation facility, 97 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,680 if it'll be any use for two years 98 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,879 and it'll become city of Denton property, 99 00:04:45,879 --> 00:04:49,199 at that point, is it like a package plant 100 00:04:49,199 --> 00:04:52,879 that we could then sell or would it stay 101 00:04:52,879 --> 00:04:56,000 just parked non-operational at the site? 102 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,839 What's the plan for disposal of this capital? 103 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:04,839 - So really it would be up to our water team's decision 104 00:05:04,959 --> 00:05:07,759 at that point, so the way the agreement is written is 105 00:05:07,759 --> 00:05:10,439 it's at their cost to remove it 106 00:05:10,439 --> 00:05:13,600 and the city has the option either for them to remove it 107 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,720 and dispose of it in accordance with state law 108 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,680 or they can remove it and move it to a location 109 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:19,680 of the city's choosing. 110 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,839 So I think if we have a need for another temporary plan 111 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,319 in another location, then we could ask them 112 00:05:27,319 --> 00:05:30,079 to move it to that location if there's a future city use 113 00:05:30,079 --> 00:05:32,800 for it or for sale or anything like that. 114 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,240 But that's something we would consider at the time 115 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,560 that the plan's removed, but it's at our option. 116 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,160 - Okay, thank you, Chairman. 117 00:05:41,439 --> 00:05:43,199 Excuse me, good morning. 118 00:05:43,199 --> 00:05:47,519 Have we done such a situation like that occur? 119 00:05:47,519 --> 00:05:49,079 Have we done that before? 120 00:05:49,079 --> 00:05:51,360 - Not that I-- - So this is a first? 121 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:52,839 - That's correct, yeah. 122 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,079 - Who said that? 123 00:05:54,079 --> 00:05:55,040 Over the back row? 124 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,279 (laughing) 125 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,319 - Tony getting upset and me answering something 126 00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:06,120 from the gallery, Stephen Gay, 127 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,279 General Manager of Water Utilities. 128 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,360 We not exactly like this, but if you think back 129 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,120 to the Robeson community, it's very similar to that, right? 130 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,000 Where they built a plant to help their development 131 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,399 and the city took over operation of it. 132 00:06:19,399 --> 00:06:21,279 And now we're leveraging that plant 133 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,079 and part of our larger system 134 00:06:23,079 --> 00:06:24,959 and converting it into a lift station. 135 00:06:24,959 --> 00:06:27,600 So we'd have the similar option there as well. 136 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,079 - Great, I appreciate it. 137 00:06:30,399 --> 00:06:32,920 I thought there was something else, but I wasn't sure. 138 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:33,959 Thanks for being here. 139 00:06:36,079 --> 00:06:38,639 - Thank you, Mr. Chairman. 140 00:06:38,639 --> 00:06:39,839 - Any further questions? 141 00:06:41,399 --> 00:06:42,199 Okay. 142 00:06:42,199 --> 00:06:45,120 With that, I'll move approval of item F 143 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:46,439 from our consent agenda. 144 00:06:46,439 --> 00:06:47,279 - Aye. 145 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:48,360 - We have a motion and a second. 146 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:49,720 All in favor, say aye. 147 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:50,639 - Aye. 148 00:06:50,639 --> 00:06:52,000 - Any opposed? 149 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,240 Motion carries unanimously. 150 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,370 Now we will move on to our items for individual 151 00:06:57,370 --> 00:06:58,759 consideration. 152 00:06:58,759 --> 00:07:02,720 Our first item is approval of the May 18th minutes. 153 00:07:03,639 --> 00:07:05,560 Are there any corrections or comments? 154 00:07:06,879 --> 00:07:07,899 We have a motion. 155 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:09,680 - Second. 156 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:10,500 - And a second. 157 00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:11,339 All in favor, say aye. 158 00:07:11,339 --> 00:07:12,399 - Aye. 159 00:07:12,399 --> 00:07:14,680 - Motion carries unanimously. 160 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,839 Our next item for individual consideration is item B. 161 00:07:18,839 --> 00:07:20,920 Consider recommending adoption of an ordinance 162 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,120 authorizing the city manager 163 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:23,839 to execute a professional services agreement 164 00:07:23,839 --> 00:07:26,199 with Corolla Engineers 165 00:07:26,199 --> 00:07:28,839 for the Clear Creek Water Reclamation Plant 166 00:07:28,839 --> 00:07:31,839 for a total not to exceed of $45,528,839. 167 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,040 - Good morning, I'm David Brown, 168 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,680 Water Utilities Project Manager. 169 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,160 Today I'm here to request the approval 170 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,160 of the design contract for the 171 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,879 Clear Creek Water Reclamation Plant. 172 00:07:52,879 --> 00:07:56,000 This facility will help water utilities regionalize 173 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,839 services in the Clear Creek Drainage Basin. 174 00:07:59,839 --> 00:08:03,279 The Clear Creek Drainage Basin is located just north 175 00:08:03,279 --> 00:08:05,120 of the Loop 288 area. 176 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,480 You can see by this map we have together here is 177 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,120 the Clear Creek Sewer Interceptor 178 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,560 and the Clear Creek Water Reclamation Plant. 179 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,560 They're noticed by the star. 180 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,759 The Clear Creek Drainage Basin Plant, 181 00:08:18,759 --> 00:08:21,319 like I said, was located just north of Loop 288 182 00:08:21,319 --> 00:08:23,399 and compared with previous studies, 183 00:08:23,399 --> 00:08:25,839 we have seen accelerated development in this area 184 00:08:25,839 --> 00:08:28,360 compared to other areas around the city. 185 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,199 Currently, wastewater is collected from the 186 00:08:30,199 --> 00:08:33,840 Clear Creek Drainage Basin and flows down in pumps 187 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,000 into Pecan Creek Water Reclamation Plant. 188 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,200 The Clear Creek Water Reclamation Plant, 189 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:40,879 where it's treated there, 190 00:08:40,879 --> 00:08:42,720 treating the wastewater at that plant 191 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,600 does have some capacity constraints. 192 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,480 So with the development and construction of a 193 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,600 wastewater treatment plant there at Clear Creek 194 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,679 will help alleviate some of the constraints 195 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,600 there at Pecan Creek. 196 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,000 To prevent degradation of the surface water areas 197 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,840 in that area, Denton is using a regionalization, 198 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,840 sorry, a regionalization strategy 199 00:09:04,399 --> 00:09:07,120 to limit the number of small package plants, 200 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,679 just like we talked about, in that area 201 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,320 that is often used by developers. 202 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:16,759 We'll want them to tie into our Clear Creek Interceptor 203 00:09:16,759 --> 00:09:20,000 and be able to treat the water there. 204 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,440 Two critical projects, like I spoke about, 205 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,740 are the Clear Creek Interceptor Sewer Interceptor, 206 00:09:24,740 --> 00:09:28,200 which is at about 60%, Charlie talked about it's on the way 207 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:28,480 , 208 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,460 it's at about 60% design, 209 00:09:30,460 --> 00:09:31,960 working through alignment and easements, 210 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,679 and also today we're talking about the Clear Creek 211 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,039 Water Reclamation Plant. 212 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,320 The Clear Creek Water Reclamation Plant is located, 213 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,480 will be located on city owned property 214 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,840 near the intersection of Harley Field and Collins Road, 215 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:48,919 as shown in the picture here. 216 00:09:48,919 --> 00:09:50,600 For clarity, I want to go ahead and show, 217 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,120 like we put on here in gold, 218 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,799 the Clear Creek Interceptor, which is in design, 219 00:09:54,799 --> 00:09:57,419 and it'll collect all the wastewater 220 00:09:57,419 --> 00:09:58,639 throughout the drainage basin 221 00:09:58,639 --> 00:10:01,580 and convey it down to the Water Reclamation Plant. 222 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,279 Let's talk about the site. 223 00:10:05,279 --> 00:10:08,320 The site is permitted for a Water Reclamation Plant 224 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:09,840 and a lift station, 225 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,210 and it currently has a permit of 10 million gallons per day 226 00:10:13,210 --> 00:10:13,480 . 227 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:15,600 If we want to look through this, 228 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,399 here's just a rendering from 2002 229 00:10:17,399 --> 00:10:19,440 when we first started to design it, 230 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,000 and let's look at the timeline. 231 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,549 In 1998, a wastewater treatment planning report came 232 00:10:24,549 --> 00:10:25,200 through, 233 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,440 and then in 2000 we purchased the property, the city did. 234 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:33,039 In 2002, we had a PDR and a preliminary design report, 235 00:10:33,039 --> 00:10:34,919 and we're granted a .95 MGD, 236 00:10:34,919 --> 00:10:37,559 a partial discharge permit there. 237 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:42,120 In 2003, with a downturn of development in that area, 238 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,480 we paused because of that downturn in 2003. 239 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:50,330 In 2025, we were granted a full 10 MGD TCQ discharge permit 240 00:10:50,330 --> 00:10:50,480 . 241 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,440 Oh, I might have skipped one here, I don't know, maybe not. 242 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:02,600 So this will, let me talk about, 243 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,279 this will be an Advanced Water Reclamation Plant, MBR plant 244 00:11:06,279 --> 00:11:06,279 . 245 00:11:06,279 --> 00:11:09,080 With that, high efficiency screening, grit removal, 246 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,440 a biological nutrient removal, also called BNR, 247 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,360 we'll refer to that as BNR, 248 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,039 membrane bioreactor, MBR, 249 00:11:17,039 --> 00:11:21,320 odor control system, ultraviolet disinfection, 250 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,340 and also architectural components on operations building. 251 00:11:25,340 --> 00:11:29,000 Estimated construction cost now is $455 million, 252 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,799 and you can see our timelines. 253 00:11:30,799 --> 00:11:33,840 Design services starting as soon as possible 254 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,960 and ending in quarter four of 2028. 255 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,120 Construction services start in quarter four of 2028 256 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,000 and run through 2032. 257 00:11:47,039 --> 00:11:50,159 Given the location of the proposed plant site, 258 00:11:50,159 --> 00:11:52,100 we wanna minimize the impact 259 00:11:52,100 --> 00:11:53,960 on the mountain bike trails in that area, 260 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,960 and it's a top priority of the utility. 261 00:11:57,039 --> 00:11:59,200 The plant, as you can see in yellow, 262 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,840 will utilize the lower portion of the property 263 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,200 so we could be able to use the rest of property 264 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,240 for other designated things that may go on. 265 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,799 Impacted trails will be rerouted, 266 00:12:10,799 --> 00:12:14,480 and we are exploring adding additional educational items 267 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,639 along the fence so those visitors who come out there 268 00:12:17,639 --> 00:12:20,279 could get an education on wastewater treatment 269 00:12:20,279 --> 00:12:22,620 in the municipal, at the municipal level. 270 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,919 (mouse clicking) 271 00:12:26,919 --> 00:12:31,919 Six firms were evaluated through our pre-qualified list, 272 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,879 8312, and we have selected Corolla Engineering. 273 00:12:35,879 --> 00:12:38,799 Corolla was selected due to the multifunctionality 274 00:12:38,799 --> 00:12:41,919 and efficiency of the proposed site plan. 275 00:12:41,919 --> 00:12:45,240 They took into consideration the mountain bike trails 276 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,320 and put a site plan that we liked, 277 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,559 and just the process that they conveyed 278 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,779 in order to minimize the impact at the current site. 279 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,320 As you can see here, design contract proposal 280 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:02,320 is $45,528,839, and that is roughly at about 10% 281 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,200 of estimated construction costs 282 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,519 that we're seeing designed with construction costs, 283 00:13:07,519 --> 00:13:11,200 and we are gonna utilize the construction manager at risk 284 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,100 to see more coordination, four-year base contract, 285 00:13:14,100 --> 00:13:16,360 and two-year special services. 286 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,720 Funding breakdown, traditional debt, 287 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:23,039 up to 51% will utilize, and we are also applied 288 00:13:23,039 --> 00:13:28,039 for the WIFIA, Water Infrastructure Finance Innovation Act, 289 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:29,559 that we currently applied for, 290 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,919 and that could fund up to 49% of the debt there. 291 00:13:33,919 --> 00:13:36,840 And also we applied for Texas Water Development Board 292 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,240 Clean Water State Revolving Fund. 293 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,879 There you can see it's in progress up to $400 million, 294 00:13:42,879 --> 00:13:45,799 low-interest loans, with a possibility 295 00:13:45,799 --> 00:13:47,820 of up to $60 million per year. 296 00:13:49,399 --> 00:13:51,360 With that, staff recommends the adoption 297 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,600 of a professional service contract 298 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,200 between the City of Denton and Corolla Engineers 299 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,799 for design and construction-faith services 300 00:13:58,799 --> 00:14:01,159 for the Clear Creek Water Reclamation Plant, 301 00:14:01,159 --> 00:14:04,159 not to exceed the amount of $45,528,839. 302 00:14:07,279 --> 00:14:09,360 And I will stand for any questions. 303 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,559 - Could you go to slide four, please? 304 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:17,379 - Yes, sir. 305 00:14:21,279 --> 00:14:22,120 - Thank you. 306 00:14:26,039 --> 00:14:26,879 That's it. 307 00:14:26,879 --> 00:14:30,559 What is the projected capacity 308 00:14:30,559 --> 00:14:33,600 for that 10 million gallon daily? 309 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,559 Obviously we're not at that stage now. 310 00:14:36,559 --> 00:14:39,399 What's the life expectancy of that, do you think? 311 00:14:39,399 --> 00:14:43,159 - I think the life expectancy would be 10 years, I think. 312 00:14:43,159 --> 00:14:44,919 That's what we're estimating. 313 00:14:44,919 --> 00:14:49,519 - And then what happens after that? 314 00:14:49,519 --> 00:14:50,360 - We expand it. 315 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:54,039 And we are, actually the design will be expandable. 316 00:14:54,039 --> 00:14:56,399 It's not just capped at that 10 MGD. 317 00:14:56,399 --> 00:14:57,240 - That's what I was curious about. 318 00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,960 - We're gonna design it for expansion. 319 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:01,799 - Thank you. 320 00:15:01,799 --> 00:15:02,919 And then slide five, please. 321 00:15:05,759 --> 00:15:08,679 I was curious on the estimated, the 455 million, 322 00:15:08,679 --> 00:15:12,480 is this 45 million part of that 455 million? 323 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:13,320 - No, sir. 324 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:14,139 - No, that's separate. 325 00:15:14,139 --> 00:15:14,980 - Yes, sir. 326 00:15:14,980 --> 00:15:15,799 - Okay. 327 00:15:15,799 --> 00:15:16,799 Thank you very much. 328 00:15:16,799 --> 00:15:17,639 - Thank you. 329 00:15:20,879 --> 00:15:22,440 - I took my questions. 330 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:23,759 (laughing) 331 00:15:23,759 --> 00:15:26,279 - I went over there earlier and read our notes. 332 00:15:26,279 --> 00:15:27,720 (laughing) 333 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:28,720 - So I just wanted to, 334 00:15:30,639 --> 00:15:33,240 going back to consent agenda item F, 335 00:15:34,279 --> 00:15:37,080 that interceptor, that's already a separate project 336 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:38,159 that's already kind of in process. 337 00:15:38,159 --> 00:15:39,000 - Yes, sir. 338 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,639 Capital projects is delivering that one. 339 00:15:40,639 --> 00:15:42,919 So we're coordinating with them. 340 00:15:42,919 --> 00:15:44,360 - And that basically leads to this. 341 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:45,200 Like it connects to this plan. 342 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:46,039 - Yes, sir. 343 00:15:46,039 --> 00:15:46,860 - Okay. 344 00:15:46,860 --> 00:15:49,320 And I do wanna comment, 345 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:50,320 could you go back to the timeline? 346 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:51,840 I think maybe it was slide four. 347 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,000 - Go backwards here, I'm sorry. 348 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:56,840 - No problem. 349 00:15:57,879 --> 00:16:01,159 Well, yeah, that one and also the mountain bike path. 350 00:16:01,159 --> 00:16:02,360 I just wanted to point out, 351 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:07,360 this has been planned for almost 30 years. 352 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,200 Yeah, like, you know. 353 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,279 And I think it was a really, 354 00:16:12,279 --> 00:16:14,519 the purchase property in 2000 355 00:16:14,519 --> 00:16:18,460 and it's been able to be used for the mountain bike trails 356 00:16:18,460 --> 00:16:19,299 and other uses. 357 00:16:19,299 --> 00:16:23,240 And I think the utility department was really receptive 358 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,200 to that idea and really helped allow, 359 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,620 you know, it was really magnanimous perhaps 360 00:16:27,620 --> 00:16:30,320 to allow that secondary use on this property. 361 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,320 I know there's people that were really concerned 362 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,940 that that whole mountain bike trail system 363 00:16:34,940 --> 00:16:35,980 was gonna be destroyed 364 00:16:35,980 --> 00:16:38,480 and they're gonna kind of kicked off the property. 365 00:16:40,039 --> 00:16:43,879 But the property was purchased with this, you know, 366 00:16:43,879 --> 00:16:45,159 use in mind. 367 00:16:45,159 --> 00:16:47,720 And so I think it's really great that we've been able to, 368 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,919 that hopefully Corolla will be able to work through 369 00:16:49,919 --> 00:16:51,480 and y'all will be able to work through 370 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,200 allowing as much of that mountain bike use to stay there 371 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,809 while still achieving the primary objective of this 372 00:16:57,809 --> 00:16:58,759 property. 373 00:16:58,759 --> 00:17:00,620 I just wanted to put that out. 374 00:17:00,620 --> 00:17:02,220 - I wanted to share that one of the things 375 00:17:02,220 --> 00:17:04,319 that Corolla brought was the idea 376 00:17:04,319 --> 00:17:06,279 for the mountain bike trails and how important 377 00:17:06,279 --> 00:17:07,960 they knew that was gonna be important. 378 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,519 And they have some people on board that are, 379 00:17:10,519 --> 00:17:11,839 I guess they're called mountain bikers. 380 00:17:11,839 --> 00:17:16,839 So they know the people that like that type stuff 381 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,680 and we wanna be cognizant of their concerns 382 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:22,079 and we're gonna do our best. 383 00:17:23,079 --> 00:17:24,599 - And I have one final question, 384 00:17:24,599 --> 00:17:26,640 just I think the very first slide with the map 385 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,640 or maybe the second slide with the map. 386 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,720 - I gotta learn how to go back. 387 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:32,559 Sorry. 388 00:17:33,839 --> 00:17:35,440 Yes, I'm gonna learn that today. 389 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,119 - I'm assuming that outlined area in the North Denton area, 390 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,339 that is what this will serve? 391 00:17:45,539 --> 00:17:46,680 - Yes, sir. 392 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,440 - And is that the end of, on the East side, 393 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:54,480 is that the end of Denton or is there actually more 394 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,680 of Denton on the East side of Elm Fork, 395 00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,319 I guess that is? 396 00:17:59,319 --> 00:18:01,160 - There's more of Denton on that side, 397 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:02,359 but as far as service area, 398 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,160 I don't know exactly where it stops. 399 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:06,000 - Okay. 400 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,400 - So this is basically, I don't say a new basin, 401 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,099 but it's gonna be a new basin that we collect from 402 00:18:12,099 --> 00:18:13,220 and actually go to a plant. 403 00:18:13,220 --> 00:18:15,960 We've been collecting some from that basin. 404 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,039 If you go up 428 Sherman Drive 405 00:18:20,039 --> 00:18:22,079 and some of those developments up there, 406 00:18:22,079 --> 00:18:24,200 those are actually in the Clear Creek basin, 407 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,720 but we've been serving them through the Pecan Creek 408 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,079 and pumping them to the Pecan Interceptor 409 00:18:30,079 --> 00:18:31,920 and sending it south to our Pecan Creek. 410 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,359 So we'll be able to utilize the Clear Creek Interceptor, 411 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,680 not just for those north of the Interceptor, 412 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:43,579 but also just a little bit south there along Agave Ranch 413 00:18:43,579 --> 00:18:44,420 and those types. 414 00:18:44,420 --> 00:18:47,680 We have some plans in place to serve those 415 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,759 so there's no lift stations. 416 00:18:49,759 --> 00:18:53,200 And as a system, we wanna get rid of lift stations. 417 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,200 - Yeah, I think that's really great. 418 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:56,839 I know this is a little off topic. 419 00:18:56,839 --> 00:19:00,119 I was just curious if the other side of Elm Fork, 420 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,960 I guess you'd probably be able to boost it across Elm Fork 421 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,200 if needed, kind of lift it over 422 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,440 as growth happens over there. 423 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:09,279 All right, thank you. 424 00:19:09,279 --> 00:19:10,099 - I have just one. 425 00:19:10,099 --> 00:19:12,079 Have we worked with Correlo before? 426 00:19:12,079 --> 00:19:12,920 Or is this? 427 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:13,759 - Yes, we have. 428 00:19:13,759 --> 00:19:14,799 - All right. - Yes. 429 00:19:14,799 --> 00:19:17,299 We have a couple of projects with them right now. 430 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,079 - If there are no further questions, 431 00:19:23,079 --> 00:19:24,480 the Chair would entertain a motion. 432 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:25,380 - So moved. 433 00:19:25,380

How many Peterbilt trucks do we have? 485 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,079 - Roughly 115. 486 00:21:58,079 --> 00:22:01,619 - So they're primary purchaser, we purchase, no? 487 00:22:01,619 -->
