WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.059 - Good morning and welcome to the regularly scheduled 00:00:04.059 --> 00:00:06.599 public utilities board meeting for the city of Denton. 00:00:06.599 --> 00:00:10.519 Today is Monday, June 8th and it is 9 a.m. 00:00:10.519 --> 00:00:12.380 Our meeting is called to order. 00:00:12.380 --> 00:00:15.119 Do we have any public comments? 00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:21.120 Moving on to our next item on the agenda, consent agenda. 00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:24.800 Would any member like to pull an item for discussion? 00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:28.960 I have a few questions on item F. 00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:33.520 So I'd like to receive a presentation on that 00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:36.880 after we work through the rest of the consent agenda. 00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:44.280 - On the approval of A through E. 00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:46.880 - We have a motion for approval of the consent agenda. 00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:47.719 - Second. 00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:49.479 - Items A through E and a second. 00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:50.560 All in favor say aye. 00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:51.719 - Aye. 00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:53.320 - Any opposed? 00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:55.520 Motion carries unanimously. 00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:57.159 And now item F. 00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:01.299 (murmuring) 00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:09.519 - Good morning board. 00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:10.519 My name is Charlie Rosenthal. 00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:12.079 I'm the director of development services 00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:13.560 for the city of Denton. 00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:16.400 I don't have a presentation, but I do have some answers 00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:18.319 to some of the questions you ask. 00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:21.480 And so I just go through the list of questions here 00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:22.959 and then if anybody else has any questions, 00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:24.560 I'd be happy to answer those too. 00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:30.599 So the first one was really related to how temporary 00:01:31.099 --> 00:01:35.400 this temporary wastewater treatment facility would be. 00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:38.879 And so we're expecting the Clear Creek interceptor 00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:43.200 to be ready by the end of 2028 or early 2029. 00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:48.200 And so this developer would start the process 00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:50.319 of development after city council considers 00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:53.079 and approves the development agreement on the 16th. 00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:57.599 And so it's really dependent on how quickly they move 00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:00.319 following council approval. 00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:04.280 But at most, it's a two year timeline between now and then 00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:07.079 and with their development timeline, 00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:10.879 the plant would be online for roughly a year, 00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:11.840 a year and a half. 00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:18.379 And then the next question was if the water 00:02:18.379 --> 00:02:20.639 and wastewater was sized for future development 00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:23.080 and particularly around Craver Ranch. 00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:27.520 So this development is building a water line 00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:29.979 that's sized to our master plan. 00:02:29.979 --> 00:02:32.479 They would have to build a wastewater line 00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:34.120 and it's in a different basin 00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:36.639 than what the Clear Creek development would be. 00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:38.840 And so they would be building a wastewater line 00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:41.199 that's sized for their development. 00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:45.000 We don't have anything in the master plan in the near term 00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:48.360 for that area as far as where that wastewater line would go 00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:48.560 . 00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:52.520 And so water, yes, it would be built to serve that region 00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:54.039 in accordance with the master plan, 00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:57.080 but wastewater, it would just be for their development. 00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:00.039 - And is that just because of, 00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:03.240 so the wastewater master plan includes 00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:05.159 all of the various future developments. 00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:08.599 Like I know Craver Ranch is up there, 00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:10.360 there used to be a development in process 00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:12.919 called Hills of Denton North and there are a few others. 00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:14.840 So that the master plan already includes 00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:16.879 all of that kind of expected development in that area. 00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:19.360 - Correct, and the Clear Creek Interceptor runs 00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:22.479 through the Hills of Denton property. 00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:25.800 This one's a little further north off of Milam Road 00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:28.759 and there's not been a ton of development interest 00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:29.879 out that way. 00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:33.080 And then Craver Ranch is actually further east 00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:34.719 of this development. 00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:37.780 And we've been discussing with them extensions 00:03:37.780 --> 00:03:39.879 of their wastewater infrastructure in accordance 00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:42.520 with the agreement the city had for them, 00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:43.680 but it's not really in line 00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:45.379 with where this development's occurring. 00:03:45.379 --> 00:03:48.879 - Okay, so this, but this, their contributions 00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:51.680 in construction there will be appropriate 00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:55.080 for the master plan, maybe not affected by Craver Ranch. 00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:57.759 - Yeah, at least the water portion would be, 00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:00.120 wastewater would be sized for their development. 00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:05.599 I think the next question was if this delays anything 00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:08.360 with the Clear Creek Interceptor, it does not. 00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:11.000 So the way the development agreement for this would work 00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:13.919 is they would be allowed to construct a temporary plant 00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:16.399 that the city would own and operate 00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:17.920 that would come off of line 00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:21.040 when the Clear Creek Interceptors completed. 00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:23.879 And so that project's still moving forward 00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:26.519 and doesn't affect the timeline of that project at all. 00:04:31.540 --> 00:04:33.879 - Are there any other questions from the board? 00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:37.120 I have one follow-up question. 00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:39.100 The temporary water treatment plant 00:04:39.100 --> 00:04:41.720 or water reclamation facility, 00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:43.680 if it'll be any use for two years 00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:45.879 and it'll become city of Denton property, 00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:49.199 at that point, is it like a package plant 00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:52.879 that we could then sell or would it stay 00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:56.000 just parked non-operational at the site? 00:04:57.120 --> 00:04:59.839 What's the plan for disposal of this capital? 00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:04.839 - So really it would be up to our water team's decision 00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:07.759 at that point, so the way the agreement is written is 00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:10.439 it's at their cost to remove it 00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:13.600 and the city has the option either for them to remove it 00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:15.720 and dispose of it in accordance with state law 00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:18.680 or they can remove it and move it to a location 00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:19.680 of the city's choosing. 00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:23.839 So I think if we have a need for another temporary plan 00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:27.319 in another location, then we could ask them 00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:30.079 to move it to that location if there's a future city use 00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:32.800 for it or for sale or anything like that. 00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:35.240 But that's something we would consider at the time 00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:38.560 that the plan's removed, but it's at our option. 00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:40.160 - Okay, thank you, Chairman. 00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:43.199 Excuse me, good morning. 00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:47.519 Have we done such a situation like that occur? 00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:49.079 Have we done that before? 00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:51.360 - Not that I-- - So this is a first? 00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:52.839 - That's correct, yeah. 00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:54.079 - Who said that? 00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:55.040 Over the back row? 00:05:57.040 --> 00:05:59.279 (laughing) 00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:04.319 - Tony getting upset and me answering something 00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:06.120 from the gallery, Stephen Gay, 00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:08.279 General Manager of Water Utilities. 00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:11.360 We not exactly like this, but if you think back 00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:14.120 to the Robeson community, it's very similar to that, right? 00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:17.000 Where they built a plant to help their development 00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:19.399 and the city took over operation of it. 00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:21.279 And now we're leveraging that plant 00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:23.079 and part of our larger system 00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:24.959 and converting it into a lift station. 00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:27.600 So we'd have the similar option there as well. 00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:29.079 - Great, I appreciate it. 00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:32.920 I thought there was something else, but I wasn't sure. 00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:33.959 Thanks for being here. 00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:38.639 - Thank you, Mr. Chairman. 00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:39.839 - Any further questions? 00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:42.199 Okay. 00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:45.120 With that, I'll move approval of item F 00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:46.439 from our consent agenda. 00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:47.279 - Aye. 00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:48.360 - We have a motion and a second. 00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:49.720 All in favor, say aye. 00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:50.639 - Aye. 00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:52.000 - Any opposed? 00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:54.240 Motion carries unanimously. 00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:57.370 Now we will move on to our items for individual 00:06:57.370 --> 00:06:58.759 consideration. 00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:02.720 Our first item is approval of the May 18th minutes. 00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:05.560 Are there any corrections or comments? 00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:07.899 We have a motion. 00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:09.680 - Second. 00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:10.500 - And a second. 00:07:10.500 --> 00:07:11.339 All in favor, say aye. 00:07:11.339 --> 00:07:12.399 - Aye. 00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:14.680 - Motion carries unanimously. 00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:18.839 Our next item for individual consideration is item B. 00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:20.920 Consider recommending adoption of an ordinance 00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:22.120 authorizing the city manager 00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:23.839 to execute a professional services agreement 00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:26.199 with Corolla Engineers 00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:28.839 for the Clear Creek Water Reclamation Plant 00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:31.839 for a total not to exceed of $45,528,839. 00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:43.040 - Good morning, I'm David Brown, 00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:44.680 Water Utilities Project Manager. 00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:47.160 Today I'm here to request the approval 00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:49.160 of the design contract for the 00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:52.879 Clear Creek Water Reclamation Plant. 00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:56.000 This facility will help water utilities regionalize 00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:58.839 services in the Clear Creek Drainage Basin. 00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:03.279 The Clear Creek Drainage Basin is located just north 00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:05.120 of the Loop 288 area. 00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:08.480 You can see by this map we have together here is 00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:11.120 the Clear Creek Sewer Interceptor 00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:13.560 and the Clear Creek Water Reclamation Plant. 00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:16.560 They're noticed by the star. 00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:18.759 The Clear Creek Drainage Basin Plant, 00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:21.319 like I said, was located just north of Loop 288 00:08:21.319 --> 00:08:23.399 and compared with previous studies, 00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:25.839 we have seen accelerated development in this area 00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:28.360 compared to other areas around the city. 00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:30.199 Currently, wastewater is collected from the 00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:33.840 Clear Creek Drainage Basin and flows down in pumps 00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:37.000 into Pecan Creek Water Reclamation Plant. 00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:39.200 The Clear Creek Water Reclamation Plant, 00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:40.879 where it's treated there, 00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:42.720 treating the wastewater at that plant 00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:44.600 does have some capacity constraints. 00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:48.480 So with the development and construction of a 00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:50.600 wastewater treatment plant there at Clear Creek 00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:52.679 will help alleviate some of the constraints 00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:54.600 there at Pecan Creek. 00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:57.000 To prevent degradation of the surface water areas 00:08:57.000 --> 00:08:59.840 in that area, Denton is using a regionalization, 00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:02.840 sorry, a regionalization strategy 00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:07.120 to limit the number of small package plants, 00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:09.679 just like we talked about, in that area 00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:12.320 that is often used by developers. 00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:16.759 We'll want them to tie into our Clear Creek Interceptor 00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:20.000 and be able to treat the water there. 00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:22.440 Two critical projects, like I spoke about, 00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:24.740 are the Clear Creek Interceptor Sewer Interceptor, 00:09:24.740 --> 00:09:28.200 which is at about 60%, Charlie talked about it's on the way 00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:28.480 , 00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:30.460 it's at about 60% design, 00:09:30.460 --> 00:09:31.960 working through alignment and easements, 00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:34.679 and also today we're talking about the Clear Creek 00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:36.039 Water Reclamation Plant. 00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:42.320 The Clear Creek Water Reclamation Plant is located, 00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:44.480 will be located on city owned property 00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:47.840 near the intersection of Harley Field and Collins Road, 00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:48.919 as shown in the picture here. 00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:50.600 For clarity, I want to go ahead and show, 00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:52.120 like we put on here in gold, 00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:54.799 the Clear Creek Interceptor, which is in design, 00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:57.419 and it'll collect all the wastewater 00:09:57.419 --> 00:09:58.639 throughout the drainage basin 00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:01.580 and convey it down to the Water Reclamation Plant. 00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:05.279 Let's talk about the site. 00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:08.320 The site is permitted for a Water Reclamation Plant 00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:09.840 and a lift station, 00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:13.210 and it currently has a permit of 10 million gallons per day 00:10:13.210 --> 00:10:13.480 . 00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:15.600 If we want to look through this, 00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:17.399 here's just a rendering from 2002 00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:19.440 when we first started to design it, 00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:21.000 and let's look at the timeline. 00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:24.549 In 1998, a wastewater treatment planning report came 00:10:24.549 --> 00:10:25.200 through, 00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:28.440 and then in 2000 we purchased the property, the city did. 00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:33.039 In 2002, we had a PDR and a preliminary design report, 00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:34.919 and we're granted a .95 MGD, 00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:37.559 a partial discharge permit there. 00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:42.120 In 2003, with a downturn of development in that area, 00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:45.480 we paused because of that downturn in 2003. 00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:50.330 In 2025, we were granted a full 10 MGD TCQ discharge permit 00:10:50.330 --> 00:10:50.480 . 00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:00.440 Oh, I might have skipped one here, I don't know, maybe not. 00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:02.600 So this will, let me talk about, 00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:06.279 this will be an Advanced Water Reclamation Plant, MBR plant 00:11:06.279 --> 00:11:06.279 . 00:11:06.279 --> 00:11:09.080 With that, high efficiency screening, grit removal, 00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:12.440 a biological nutrient removal, also called BNR, 00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:14.360 we'll refer to that as BNR, 00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:17.039 membrane bioreactor, MBR, 00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:21.320 odor control system, ultraviolet disinfection, 00:11:21.320 --> 00:11:25.340 and also architectural components on operations building. 00:11:25.340 --> 00:11:29.000 Estimated construction cost now is $455 million, 00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:30.799 and you can see our timelines. 00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:33.840 Design services starting as soon as possible 00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:36.960 and ending in quarter four of 2028. 00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:40.120 Construction services start in quarter four of 2028 00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:42.000 and run through 2032. 00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:50.159 Given the location of the proposed plant site, 00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:52.100 we wanna minimize the impact 00:11:52.100 --> 00:11:53.960 on the mountain bike trails in that area, 00:11:53.960 --> 00:11:55.960 and it's a top priority of the utility. 00:11:57.039 --> 00:11:59.200 The plant, as you can see in yellow, 00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:01.840 will utilize the lower portion of the property 00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:04.200 so we could be able to use the rest of property 00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:07.240 for other designated things that may go on. 00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:10.799 Impacted trails will be rerouted, 00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:14.480 and we are exploring adding additional educational items 00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:17.639 along the fence so those visitors who come out there 00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:20.279 could get an education on wastewater treatment 00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:22.620 in the municipal, at the municipal level. 00:12:23.960 --> 00:12:26.919 (mouse clicking) 00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:31.919 Six firms were evaluated through our pre-qualified list, 00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:35.879 8312, and we have selected Corolla Engineering. 00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:38.799 Corolla was selected due to the multifunctionality 00:12:38.799 --> 00:12:41.919 and efficiency of the proposed site plan. 00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:45.240 They took into consideration the mountain bike trails 00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:48.320 and put a site plan that we liked, 00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:50.559 and just the process that they conveyed 00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:53.779 in order to minimize the impact at the current site. 00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:57.320 As you can see here, design contract proposal 00:12:57.320 --> 00:13:02.320 is $45,528,839, and that is roughly at about 10% 00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:05.200 of estimated construction costs 00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:07.519 that we're seeing designed with construction costs, 00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:11.200 and we are gonna utilize the construction manager at risk 00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:14.100 to see more coordination, four-year base contract, 00:13:14.100 --> 00:13:16.360 and two-year special services. 00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:18.720 Funding breakdown, traditional debt, 00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:23.039 up to 51% will utilize, and we are also applied 00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:28.039 for the WIFIA, Water Infrastructure Finance Innovation Act, 00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:29.559 that we currently applied for, 00:13:29.559 --> 00:13:33.919 and that could fund up to 49% of the debt there. 00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:36.840 And also we applied for Texas Water Development Board 00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:39.240 Clean Water State Revolving Fund. 00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:42.879 There you can see it's in progress up to $400 million, 00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:45.799 low-interest loans, with a possibility 00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:47.820 of up to $60 million per year. 00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:51.360 With that, staff recommends the adoption 00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:53.600 of a professional service contract 00:13:53.600 --> 00:13:56.200 between the City of Denton and Corolla Engineers 00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:58.799 for design and construction-faith services 00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:01.159 for the Clear Creek Water Reclamation Plant, 00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:04.159 not to exceed the amount of $45,528,839. 00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:09.360 And I will stand for any questions. 00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:16.559 - Could you go to slide four, please? 00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:17.379 - Yes, sir. 00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:22.120 - Thank you. 00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:26.879 That's it. 00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:30.559 What is the projected capacity 00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:33.600 for that 10 million gallon daily? 00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:36.559 Obviously we're not at that stage now. 00:14:36.559 --> 00:14:39.399 What's the life expectancy of that, do you think? 00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:43.159 - I think the life expectancy would be 10 years, I think. 00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:44.919 That's what we're estimating. 00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:49.519 - And then what happens after that? 00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:50.360 - We expand it. 00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:54.039 And we are, actually the design will be expandable. 00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:56.399 It's not just capped at that 10 MGD. 00:14:56.399 --> 00:14:57.240 - That's what I was curious about. 00:14:57.240 --> 00:15:00.960 - We're gonna design it for expansion. 00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:01.799 - Thank you. 00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:02.919 And then slide five, please. 00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:08.679 I was curious on the estimated, the 455 million, 00:15:08.679 --> 00:15:12.480 is this 45 million part of that 455 million? 00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:13.320 - No, sir. 00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:14.139 - No, that's separate. 00:15:14.139 --> 00:15:14.980 - Yes, sir. 00:15:14.980 --> 00:15:15.799 - Okay. 00:15:15.799 --> 00:15:16.799 Thank you very much. 00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:17.639 - Thank you. 00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:22.440 - I took my questions. 00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:23.759 (laughing) 00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:26.279 - I went over there earlier and read our notes. 00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:27.720 (laughing) 00:15:27.720 --> 00:15:28.720 - So I just wanted to, 00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:33.240 going back to consent agenda item F, 00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:37.080 that interceptor, that's already a separate project 00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:38.159 that's already kind of in process. 00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:39.000 - Yes, sir. 00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:40.639 Capital projects is delivering that one. 00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:42.919 So we're coordinating with them. 00:15:42.919 --> 00:15:44.360 - And that basically leads to this. 00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:45.200 Like it connects to this plan. 00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:46.039 - Yes, sir. 00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:46.860 - Okay. 00:15:46.860 --> 00:15:49.320 And I do wanna comment, 00:15:49.320 --> 00:15:50.320 could you go back to the timeline? 00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:51.840 I think maybe it was slide four. 00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:56.000 - Go backwards here, I'm sorry. 00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:56.840 - No problem. 00:15:57.879 --> 00:16:01.159 Well, yeah, that one and also the mountain bike path. 00:16:01.159 --> 00:16:02.360 I just wanted to point out, 00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:07.360 this has been planned for almost 30 years. 00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:09.200 Yeah, like, you know. 00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:12.279 And I think it was a really, 00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:14.519 the purchase property in 2000 00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:18.460 and it's been able to be used for the mountain bike trails 00:16:18.460 --> 00:16:19.299 and other uses. 00:16:19.299 --> 00:16:23.240 And I think the utility department was really receptive 00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:25.200 to that idea and really helped allow, 00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:27.620 you know, it was really magnanimous perhaps 00:16:27.620 --> 00:16:30.320 to allow that secondary use on this property. 00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:32.320 I know there's people that were really concerned 00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:34.940 that that whole mountain bike trail system 00:16:34.940 --> 00:16:35.980 was gonna be destroyed 00:16:35.980 --> 00:16:38.480 and they're gonna kind of kicked off the property. 00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:43.879 But the property was purchased with this, you know, 00:16:43.879 --> 00:16:45.159 use in mind. 00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:47.720 And so I think it's really great that we've been able to, 00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:49.919 that hopefully Corolla will be able to work through 00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:51.480 and y'all will be able to work through 00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:55.200 allowing as much of that mountain bike use to stay there 00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:57.809 while still achieving the primary objective of this 00:16:57.809 --> 00:16:58.759 property. 00:16:58.759 --> 00:17:00.620 I just wanted to put that out. 00:17:00.620 --> 00:17:02.220 - I wanted to share that one of the things 00:17:02.220 --> 00:17:04.319 that Corolla brought was the idea 00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:06.279 for the mountain bike trails and how important 00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:07.960 they knew that was gonna be important. 00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:10.519 And they have some people on board that are, 00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:11.839 I guess they're called mountain bikers. 00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:16.839 So they know the people that like that type stuff 00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:20.680 and we wanna be cognizant of their concerns 00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:22.079 and we're gonna do our best. 00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:24.599 - And I have one final question, 00:17:24.599 --> 00:17:26.640 just I think the very first slide with the map 00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:28.640 or maybe the second slide with the map. 00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:31.720 - I gotta learn how to go back. 00:17:31.720 --> 00:17:32.559 Sorry. 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:35.440 Yes, I'm gonna learn that today. 00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:42.119 - I'm assuming that outlined area in the North Denton area, 00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:44.339 that is what this will serve? 00:17:45.539 --> 00:17:46.680 - Yes, sir. 00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:50.440 - And is that the end of, on the East side, 00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:54.480 is that the end of Denton or is there actually more 00:17:54.480 --> 00:17:57.680 of Denton on the East side of Elm Fork, 00:17:57.680 --> 00:17:59.319 I guess that is? 00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:01.160 - There's more of Denton on that side, 00:18:01.160 --> 00:18:02.359 but as far as service area, 00:18:02.359 --> 00:18:05.160 I don't know exactly where it stops. 00:18:05.160 --> 00:18:06.000 - Okay. 00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:09.400 - So this is basically, I don't say a new basin, 00:18:09.400 --> 00:18:12.099 but it's gonna be a new basin that we collect from 00:18:12.099 --> 00:18:13.220 and actually go to a plant. 00:18:13.220 --> 00:18:15.960 We've been collecting some from that basin. 00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:20.039 If you go up 428 Sherman Drive 00:18:20.039 --> 00:18:22.079 and some of those developments up there, 00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:24.200 those are actually in the Clear Creek basin, 00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:26.720 but we've been serving them through the Pecan Creek 00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:30.079 and pumping them to the Pecan Interceptor 00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:31.920 and sending it south to our Pecan Creek. 00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:35.359 So we'll be able to utilize the Clear Creek Interceptor, 00:18:35.359 --> 00:18:38.680 not just for those north of the Interceptor, 00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:43.579 but also just a little bit south there along Agave Ranch 00:18:43.579 --> 00:18:44.420 and those types. 00:18:44.420 --> 00:18:47.680 We have some plans in place to serve those 00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:49.759 so there's no lift stations. 00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:53.200 And as a system, we wanna get rid of lift stations. 00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:55.200 - Yeah, I think that's really great. 00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:56.839 I know this is a little off topic. 00:18:56.839 --> 00:19:00.119 I was just curious if the other side of Elm Fork, 00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:03.960 I guess you'd probably be able to boost it across Elm Fork 00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:06.200 if needed, kind of lift it over 00:19:06.200 --> 00:19:08.440 as growth happens over there. 00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:09.279 All right, thank you. 00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:10.099 - I have just one. 00:19:10.099 --> 00:19:12.079 Have we worked with Correlo before? 00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:12.920 Or is this? 00:19:12.920 --> 00:19:13.759 - Yes, we have. 00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:14.799 - All right. - Yes. 00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:17.299 We have a couple of projects with them right now. 00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:23.079 - If there are no further questions, 00:19:23.079 --> 00:19:24.480 the Chair would entertain a motion. 00:19:24.480 --> 00:19:25.380 - So moved. 00:19:25.380 --> 00:19:26.400 - We have a motion for approval. 00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:27.599 Do we have a second? 00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:29.279 - Second. 00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:30.420 - Motion and a second. 00:19:30.420 --> 00:19:31.880 All in favor, say aye. 00:19:31.880 --> 00:19:32.880 - Aye. 00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:34.660 - The motion carries unanimously. 00:19:35.559 --> 00:19:38.559 Moving on to items for individual

Oops, sorry. 00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:48.900 Any questions? 00:21:50.920 --> 00:21:51.759 - Do we have any questions? 00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:52.579 Mr. Rayner? 00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:56.480 - How many Peterbilt trucks do we have? 00:21:56.480 --> 00:21:58.079 - Roughly 115. 00:21:58.079 --> 00:22:01.619 - So they're primary purchaser, we purchase, no? 00:22:01.619 --> 00:22:02.920 - No, they're just one of the options 00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:05.140 that we can buy the bodies from. 00:22:05.140 --> 00:22:08.519 - And so this particular company, 00:22:08.519 --> 00:22:11.119 their specialty is

essentially the manufacturer. 00:22:27.319 --> 00:22:30.279 - And the purpose to have that specialty on that person 00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:34.319 is better for the city than if we had just a regular, 00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:37.519 pardon the expression, a mechanic that can cover them all. 00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:38.880 - We do that as well, yeah. 00:22:38.880 --> 00:22:39.720 Fleet Services does.
