[H.1. RES 24-59 Consider and act to approve Resolution 24-59 approving a professional services agreement with Freese and Nichols, Inc. for a Water Master Plan in an amount not to exceed $132,000 (Cheryl Taylor, P.E., Director of Public Works)]

RESOLUTION 24-59.

CONSIDER AN ACT AND APPROVE RESOLUTION 24-59 APPROVING A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH FREESE AND NICHOLS, INC.

FOR A WATER MASTER PLAN IN THE AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $132,000.

CHERYL? CAN YOU HEAR ME.

YES MA'AM? THE CONSULTANT. EXCUSE ME.

THE ITEM THIS EVENING IS A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR THE TOWN WATER MASTER PLAN.

CONSULTANT WILL WORK WITH STAFF TO COLLECT WATER SYSTEM DATA, GIS FILES, RECORD DRAWINGS AND PERFORM PRESSURE TESTS THROUGHOUT THE TOWN TO DETERMINE A BASELINE FOR THE TOWN'S EXISTING WATER SYSTEM.

WITH THAT INFORMATION, THEY'LL BUILD A WATER MODEL OF THE EXISTING SYSTEM THAT THEY CAN USE TO DETERMINE FUTURE INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS BASED ON FUTURE LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS.

ALL OF THEIR FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS WILL BE COMPILED IN A FINAL MASTER PLAN REPORT THAT INCLUDES A TEN YEAR WATER SYSTEM, CIP, THAT WILL BE IMPLEMENTED WITH FUTURE BUDGETS.

AS I MENTIONED IN A PREVIOUS MEETING, THIS IS THE THIS IS THE STARTING POINT FOR BUILDING OUR CIP.

THIS IS THE TOWN'S EFFORT IN PUTTING DOING THE FUTURE PLANNING FOR ALL OF THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT THAT'S COMING AND BEING PREPARED FOR WHAT'S TO COME? SO THE TOTAL COST OF THE WATER MASTER PLAN IS $132,000 AND WILL BE FUNDED WITH A UTILITY FUND FUND BALANCE.

IT MAY REQUIRE A BUDGET AMENDMENT IN THE JANUARY TIME FRAME OF NEXT YEAR, WHICH IS MIDYEAR AS NEEDED.

CURRENTLY, THE FUND BALANCE OF THE UTILITY FUND IS APPROXIMATELY $8 MILLION.

SO HERE'S THE SCHEDULE THAT WE'RE GOING BY.

COUNCIL MEMBER ASSELTA, I BELIEVE YOU HAD ASKED FOR APPROXIMATE TIME FRAME FOR COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT.

BASED ON THE SCHEDULE, WE ANTICIPATE APPROXIMATELY NINE MONTHS TO COMPLETE THE FULL WATER MASTER PLAN.

[00:20:05]

THE WATER MODEL ITSELF WILL BE 3 TO 3 AND A HALF MONTHS, AND PROJECT KICKOFF WILL BE AT THE END OF THIS MONTH.

THE WATER, WASTEWATER AND ROADWAY IMPACT FEE STUDY WILL LAG BEHIND SLIGHTLY.

IT'S PHASE TWO ON THE SCHEDULE HERE, AND IT WILL LAG SLIGHTLY JUST TO PROVIDE SOME TIME FOR THE WATER SYSTEM MODELING AND EVALUATION THAT'LL BE A KEY COMPONENT TO THIS STUDY.

STAFF ANTICIPATES THE IMPACT FEE STUDY ON A FUTURE COUNCIL AGENDA BEFORE THE END OF THE CALENDAR YEAR.

THIS SCHEDULE HAS BEEN PROVIDED TO BAKER TILLY.

THEY ARE WORKING WITH THE TOWN TO CREATE A STRATEGIC MASTER PLAN, AND THEY'LL USE THE CIP THAT COMES OUT OF THE WATER MODEL TO LEAD THAT EFFORT AND TO HELP WITH THE FISCAL SUSTAINABILITY PART OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN.

AT THIS TIME, I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE ANDREW FRANKO, PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER WITH FREESE AND NICHOLS, TO WALK YOU THROUGH THE WATER MASTER PLAN PROCESS AND TO ANSWER ANY DETAILED OR TECHNICAL QUESTIONS FOR YOU.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT.

GOOD AFTERNOON. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, FOR HAVING ME HERE THIS AFTERNOON TO TALK.

REALLY WHAT I'M GOING TO DO TODAY IS TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT SOME OF THE STUFF THAT CHERYL INTRODUCED AND JUST A HIGH LEVEL DETAIL.

I WANT TO GIVE YOU ALL A GOOD IDEA OF THE PROCESS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE WALKING THROUGH OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY HAS A GOOD UNDERSTANDING AND KNOWS WHAT TO EXPECT GOING FORWARD, THOUGH, YOU KNOW, THE BIG FIRST QUESTION IS WHY ARE WE DOING THIS? WHAT'S THE BIG PURPOSE OR DRIVER OF CONDUCTING A WATER MASTER PLAN? WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS WE'RE TRYING TO CONDUCT A ROADMAP, A ROADMAP FOR THE FUTURE.

WE'RE TRYING TO IDENTIFY WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW POINT A IN THE FUTURE WHERE WE WANT TO BE IN POINT B FIVE YEARS, TEN YEARS GOING OUT ALL THE WAY OUT TO BUILD OUT, TRYING TO IDENTIFY WHAT WE HAVE NOW, WHAT OUR DEFICIENCIES ARE, AND THEN WHERE DO WE WANT TO GROW AND BUILD FOR THE FUTURE.

SO THE END PRODUCT, THE BIG THING THAT WE LIKE TO PRESENT IS GOING TO BE A PRIORITIZED BUSINESS CASE CIP HAS COST ESTIMATES.

IT HAS DRIVERS.

IT HAS ALL THE WHO, WHERE, WHEN, WHAT, WHY AND HOW OF WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS FOR YOUR TOWN.

AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS BUILD SOME SYNERGY.

YOU'RE DOING A STRATEGIC PLAN RIGHT NOW.

WE WANT TO BE CONSISTENT.

WE WANT TO JUST KIND OF HELP PUSH THE OVERALL VISION OF WHAT THE WESTLAKE IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE GOING FORWARD.

ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE SCREEN, YOU CAN SEE THOSE ARE SOME OF THE BIG DRIVERS THAT WE LOOK AT WITH OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLANS.

ARE WE TRYING TO ADDRESS AGING INFRASTRUCTURE, TRYING TO OPTIMIZE OUR OPERATIONS, PROVIDE A CONSISTENT LEVEL OF SERVICE.

OUR LEVEL OF SERVICE? WHERE WE ARE AT? ARE WE HAPPY WHERE IT IS NOW? DO WE WANT TO INCREASE IT? AND IF WE DO WANT TO INCREASE THAT, WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE FROM A NEEDS AND A COST STANDPOINT? INCREASING SYSTEM RELIABILITY, ACCOMMODATING FOR WHAT FUTURE GROWTH MAY BE COMING IN AND MAKING SURE AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE ARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL THE REGULATORY AGENCIES THAT LOOK AT OUR WATER SYSTEM.

SO THE PROCESS ITSELF, YOU CAN SEE ALL THE DIFFERENT STEPS.

IT'S JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAILED THAN WHAT CHERYL HAD ON PREVIOUS SLIDE.

BUT ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS WE WANT TO DO IS LOOK AT THINGS FROM A DEMOGRAPHIC STANDPOINT.

WHERE ARE WE? ARE WE GROWING FROM A POPULATION PERSPECTIVE? ARE WE GOING TO GROW FROM A NONRESIDENTIAL? ARE THERE GOING TO BE COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIAL, OTHER TYPES OF USES THAT ARE COMING INTO WESTLAKE? THEY'RE GOING TO USE WATER.

SO WE NEED TO HAVE A HAVE AN IDEA OF THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT WORK HERE ON A DAILY BASIS.

ALL THESE KIND OF FACTORS COME INTO ESTABLISHING WHAT OUR FUTURE WATER DEMANDS ARE GOING TO LOOK LIKE.

AND ONCE WE KNOW WHAT OUR WATER DEMANDS LOOK LIKE, THEN WE START ASSESSING THE SYSTEM TO FIGURE OUT WHERE WE HAVE ISSUES AND WHERE WE NEED TO BE PLANNING FOR FUTURE DEMANDS GOING FORWARD. SO Y'ALL PURCHASE YOUR WATER FROM CITY OF FORT WORTH.

WE WANT TO PROVIDE WE WANT TO COORDINATE WITH THE CITY OF FORT WORTH TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ENSURING FUTURE SUPPLY, HOWEVER MUCH WE NEED.

WE HAVE SO MUCH NOW.

DO WE NEED TO ASK FOR MORE IN THE FUTURE? THERE'S GOING TO BE IMPLICATIONS FOR THAT AS WELL.

SO HAVING AN OPEN DIALOG WITH YOUR PROVIDER IS GOING TO BE KEY IN THIS PROCESS AS WELL.

KIND OF THAT MIDDLE GRAY BOX WHERE YOU TALK ABOUT DOING PRESSURE TESTING, BUILDING A MODEL FIELD, VERIFYING SYSTEM PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS, THESE ARE ALL THE HYDRAULIC EVALUATIONS THAT WE LOOK AT IN ORDER TO DETERMINE WHAT THE NEEDS AND THE CIP IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE.

FINALLY, ON THE BOTTOM CONDITION ASSESSMENT, WE'RE GOING TO BE GOING OUT TO THE TOWN'S PUMP STATION AND DOING A CONDITION ASSESSMENT, LOOKING AT ALL THE DIFFERENT COMPONENTS OF THAT FACILITY TO IDENTIFY WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO TO MAYBE ENHANCE OR DO SOME REHABILITATION OF THE PUMP STATION, AND THEN DOING A SYSTEM RESILIENCY ASSESSMENT TO DETERMINE TALK ABOUT WHAT IF SCENARIOS.

IF WE WERE TO LOSE A FACILITY LIKE A PUMP STATION OR AN ELEVATED TANK, OR IF WE HAD A MAJOR WATER LINE BREAK, WHAT ARE SOME OF THOSE THINGS THAT WHAT'S OUR RESILIENCY OR ABILITY TO KIND OF GET THROUGH AN EMERGENCY SITUATION? SO ALL THOSE DIFFERENT COMPONENTS ROLL UP TO A COMPREHENSIVE PRIORITIZED CIP PRESENTING AT THE END OF THE PROJECT.

[00:25:04]

SO, YOU KNOW, TALKED ABOUT THE LAND USE DATA.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE ALIGNING THE WATER NEEDS WITH YOUR OTHER TOWN INITIATIVES.

STRATEGIC PLAN, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, ANYTHING ELSE THAT'S GOING TO BE USED TO HELP DETERMINE WHAT THE FUTURE IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE HERE IN WESTLAKE.

I'LL MENTION ON MY SUBSEQUENT SLIDES, ALL THESE PICTURES.

NONE OF THEM ARE WESTLAKE SPECIFIC.

THEY'RE JUST HIGH LEVEL EXAMPLES.

GIVE YOU A FLAVOR OF WHAT WE'LL BE EXPECTING? POPULATION WATER DEMAND PROJECTIONS.

WE'RE AT 2025 IN FIVE YEARS, TEN YEARS, ALL THE WAY THROUGH YOUR BUILD OUT SCENARIO.

HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE GOING TO LIVE IN WESTLAKE? HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE GOING TO WORK IN WESTLAKE? ALL THOSE COMPONENTS COME IN TO SAYING, WELL, I HAVE 8 MILLION GALLONS NEEDED TODAY.

I NEED 10 MILLION IN THE FUTURE.

WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? WHAT DO I NEED TO DO? THE WATER MODEL ITSELF WE WILL BE WORKING WITH THE STAFF TO TAKE YOUR GIS, AND WE PUT THAT INTO A HYDRAULIC MODELING SOFTWARE.

WHAT WE TRY TO DO IS WE TRY TO BE AS ONE FOR ONE WITH YOUR GIS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE ALL THE PIPES, ALL THE FACILITIES, EVERYTHING BROUGHT INTO THAT MODEL, WHICH IS GOING TO GIVE US A VERY COMPREHENSIVE AND DETAILED LOOK AT ALL THE DIFFERENT ITEMS DURING THE ANALYSIS.

WATER DEMAND ALLOCATION.

WE PULLED DATA FROM UTILITY BILLING NETWORKS TO BASICALLY SPATIALLY ALLOCATE HOW MUCH WATER IS BEING USED, WHERE BECAUSE THAT'S GOING TO HELP IDENTIFY HOW YOUR SYSTEM IS WORKING CURRENTLY ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS.

SO WHEN WE KNOW WHERE WE HAVE LARGE USERS, WHERE THEY TAKE MORE WATER, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO MOVE IT THERE.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ALSO MEETING ALL THE DIFFERENT REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL THE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL AND MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL.

FIELD TESTING.

WE WOULD LIKE TO START DOING SOME FIELD TESTING THIS MONTH.

BASICALLY YOU CAN SEE A PICTURE THERE.

THESE ARE BASICALLY RECORDERS THAT SCREW ONTO THE SIDE OF A FIRE HYDRANT, AND YOU LEAVE THEM OUT THERE FOR A PERIOD OF A COUPLE OF WEEKS, AND THEN WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO IS CONTINUALLY COLLECT DATA.

WE WANT TO PLACE ABOUT, SAY, ABOUT EIGHT OUT IN THE SYSTEM TO LOOK AT ARE THERE PRESSURE VARIATIONS IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE TOWN? ARE THERE AREAS WHERE WE HAVE HIGH PRESSURES, LOW PRESSURES? IF SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN OPERATIONALLY AND WE SAW A BIG CHANGE IN PRESSURE, IS THAT AN INDICATOR OF SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO USE GOING FORWARD? ONCE WE HAVE ALL THE FIELD COLLECTED DATA AND A BUILT MODEL, THEN WE WANT TO CALIBRATE IT.

WHAT MODEL CALIBRATION IS GOING TO DO IS GOING TO ALLOW US TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT WE'RE SEEING ON OUR COMPUTER SCREENS, WHEN WE'RE DOING OUR EVALUATION IS REPRESENTATIVE OF WHAT'S ACTUALLY GOING ON HERE IN THE TOWN OF WESTLAKE.

WE LOOKED AT ALL THE FLOWS COMING FROM YOUR PUMP STATION, YOUR ELEVATED STORAGE TANK, HOW THE HOW IT MOVES DURING A DAY TO DAY BASIS, AND THEN THE FIELD COLLECTED PRESSURE DATA.

ALL THOSE THINGS ALIGN TOGETHER TO LET US KNOW THAT WE HAVE A CALIBRATED WATER MODEL THAT GIVES US CONFIDENCE IN THE ANALYSIS GOING FORWARD.

COORDINATION WITH CITY OF FORT WORTH.

IT TALKED ABOUT HOW MUCH, WHEN DO WE NEED IT, AND IS THERE A POTENTIAL? WE CURRENTLY PURCHASE WATER AT ONE LOCATION RIGHT OFF 377.

JUST A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND IN HISTORY FOR THE TOWN OF WESTLAKE.

Y'ALL DO HAVE A PURCHASE ALLOCATION OF UP TO 2 MILLION GALLONS ON THE EAST SIDE OF TOWN.

THERE'S A WATER LINE. I THINK IT'S RIGHT OFF DAVIS BOULEVARD.

DON'T QUOTE ME ON THE ACTUAL LOCATION OF THE LINE, BUT IT'S A FORT WORTH SHARED FORT WORTH WATER LINE WITH SOUTHLAKE AND KELLER.

AND IS THERE A NEED IN THE FUTURE, PERHAPS, TO ACTUALLY BUILD SOMETHING THERE, TO HAVE A SECOND SUPPLY OF WATER IN THE TOWN OF WESTLAKE? THESE ARE THE QUESTIONS AND THINGS WE WERE GOING TO BE EVALUATING DURING THE COURSE OF THIS PROJECT.

WE WANT TO LOOK AT YOUR PUMPING AND STORAGE.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE MAINTAINING OUR TCEQ REGULATORY COMPONENTS.

WE HAVE TCEQ.

IT STATES YOU NEED TO HAVE SO MUCH WATER SUPPLY, SO MUCH TOTAL STORAGE, ELEVATED STORAGE AND THEN PUMPING CAPACITY.

SO LOOKING AT WHAT YOU'RE RATED TO DO VERSUS WHAT YOU ACTUALLY CAN DO.

THERE ACTUALLY IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN IF I HAVE A PUMP THAT SAYS IT CAN PUMP 2 MILLION GALLONS A DAY, THAT'S WHAT THE NAMEPLATE SAID WHEN I BOUGHT IT 20 YEARS AGO.

BUT NOWADAYS, IS IT STILL DOING WHAT IT'S INTENDED TO DO? SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE ENOUGH PUMPING CAPACITY IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE PROVIDING THE PRESSURE, ALLOWING EVERYBODY WHEN YOU GO HOME AT NIGHT AND YOU TURN THAT TAP ON, YOU WANT TO HAVE CLEAN, RELIABLE WATER.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE IN THE BUSINESS OF HELPING TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS.

SOME OF THE OTHER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM ANALYZES WE'LL BE LOOKING AT MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM PRESSURES, WATER LINE CAPACITIES.

SO IF YOU HAVE WATER LINES THAT ARE UNDERSIZED, YOUR VELOCITY AND YOUR HEAD LOSS.

I DON'T WANT TO GET TOO TECHNICAL HERE, BUT YOU START LOSING.

YOU START LOSING BASICALLY ENERGY AS IT GOES THROUGH THE SYSTEM.

SO AT THE SOURCE, YOUR PUMP STATION IS WHERE YOU HAVE THE MOST ENERGY AND AS IT MOVES AWAY, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT ON ALL EDGES OF THE SYSTEM, WE'RE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE PRESSURE AT ALL THE DIFFERENT WATER METER LOCATIONS.

SO MAKING SURE THAT WATER LINE CAPACITY IS ADEQUATELY SIZED.

FIRE PROTECTION. WE HAVE THE AMOUNT OF FIRE PROTECTION REQUIRED.

BIG YOU KNOW, THIS IS A PRETTY LARGE BUSINESS CAMPUS.

DO WE HAVE THE AMOUNT OF DO WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO GET ENOUGH WATER HERE IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE?

[00:30:06]

THOSE ARE IMPORTANT COMPONENTS AS WELL.

AND THEN POTENTIALLY THE TOWN OF WESTLAKE IS ONE PRESSURE PLANT OPERATION.

DO WE WANT TO SPLIT IT OUT INTO TWO? WHAT ARE THE IMPACTS AND RAMIFICATIONS? RESILIENCY EVALUATION TALKED ABOUT THOSE WHAT IF SCENARIOS.

SO Y'ALL HAVE ONE PUMP STATION, ONE SOURCE OF WATER.

IF SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN TO THAT PUMP STATION, A LOT OF THE TOWN COULD POTENTIALLY BE OUT OF WATER.

THERE ARE SOME SMALL INTERCONNECTS THAT WE CAN LEVERAGE WITH SOME OF OUR NEARBY NEIGHBORS, BUT WHAT CAN WE DO TO MAYBE INCREASE THAT LEVEL OF RESILIENCY? WHAT ARE SOME OF THE OPTIONS THERE? THEN, YOU KNOW, INFORM WHAT ARE SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT WE MIGHT DO IN THE FUTURE? AGAIN, TALKING ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS, YOU KNOW, POTENTIALLY DOWN THE ROAD, BUT THESE ARE ALL THE COMPONENTS OF BUILDING A WATER MASTER PLAN THAT ARE THAT'S REALLY GOING TO HELP SET THAT ROADMAP FOR WHAT WE LOOK LIKE HERE IN THE FUTURE.

PUMP STATION CONDITION ASSESSMENT.

SO WE'RE GOING TO BE GOING OUT AND LOOKING AT THE STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL AND THEN THE PIPES AND PUMPING THEMSELVES TO IDENTIFY WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO.

WHAT ARE THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WILL COME OUT OF THAT.

THE ONE KEY THING THERE AT THE BOTTOM IS LOOKING AT A REPLACEMENT GENERATOR.

SO MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE BACKUP POWER IN THE EVENT THAT WE DO LOSE.

YES, I KNOW THAT A LOT OF OUR ISSUES WITH THE WATER INFRASTRUCTURE IS REALLY A LOT OF MAINTENANCE AS WELL AS REDUNDANCY.

I'M JUST CURIOUS FOR A SIZE TOWN, OUR SIZE, WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THEM HAVE A SECOND MAIN LINE, THAT LEVEL OF REDUNDANCY. MOST OF THE UTILITIES I WORK ALL THROUGHOUT DFW, PRIMARILY ON THE TARRANT COUNTY SIDE OF THINGS, BUT PRETTY MUCH ALL THE UTILITIES I CAN THINK OF THEY HAVE MULTIPLE DELIVERY POINTS.

NOW, HOW MUCH CAN THE DIFFERENT POINTS PROVIDE? THAT'S GOING TO VARY, BUT THE ABILITY TO REALLY NOT HAVE A SINGLE POINT OF FAILURE IS A CONSIDERATION.

RIGHT. WE'RE ALL AND THAT'S YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LEVEL OF RISK INVOLVED WITH OPERATING IT THE WAY YOU CURRENTLY DO AND DETERMINING WHAT WILL WE DO IN THE FUTURE. COULD THAT OFFSET OR DIMINISH THAT LEVEL OF RISK.

SO THAT JUST MAYBE WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT AS WE GET DEEPER INTO THIS PLAN, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THE BIGGEST ISSUE THAT CAME INTO MY AWARENESS LAST YEAR WHEN THE TOWN MANAGER DISCUSSED A LOT OF THE MAINTENANCE ISSUES WE HAVE, AND I THINK OUR TOWN RESIDENTS HAVE TO BE PREPARED FOR THE BIG LIFT THAT WE ARE HEADING INTO TO ACTUALLY JUST MAINTAIN WATER FOR THE RESIDENTS AND THE SCHOOL.

I JUST DON'T WANT TO SEE A BOIL WATER NOTICE.

[LAUGHTER] NO, NO NO, WE WILL NOT.

THE BUSINESS OF PREVENTING THAT AT ALL COSTS.

SO. AND THEN, WADE, I ASSUME YOU GUYS HAVE A HISTORY OF OUR KIND OF ISSUES WITH WATER AND OUR PUMPS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

DO THEY HAVE THE HISTORY? YES SIR.

WE'VE HAD SEVERAL MEETINGS WITH FREESE AND NICHOLS IN THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS AND KIND OF CATCHING THEM UP TO SPEED ON OUR SYSTEM AND SOME OF OUR CHALLENGES THAT WE FACED INTERNALLY. OKAY.

HAVE WE EVER HAD AN AGREEMENT LIKE THIS IN PLACE BEFORE? HAVE WE DONE THIS? NOT TO MY KNOWLEDGE.

NO, I DON'T THINK SO. NOT FOR 20 YEARS, PROBABLY.

OKAY, EXCELLENT.

BUT I JUST I THINK THAT'S JUST IMPORTANT FOR EVERYBODY TO UNDERSTAND.

THIS IS A NEED FOR OUR TOWN.

THIS IS NOT A LUXURY OR A WANT.

THIS IS REALLY A NEED FOR SERVICE.

YEP. ABSOLUTELY.

YEAH I'D LIKE TO I'D LIKE A LIST.

WE'RE TAKING YOU A LITTLE OFF YOUR OFF YOUR SLIDES I APOLOGIZE.

BUT YOU KNOW, GIVEN A LARGE AMOUNT OF OUR CLEAN WATER SUPPLY IN WESTLAKE GOES INTO IRRIGATION WE'RE NOTED FOR OPEN SPACE AND LARGE LOTS AND ALL THAT.

DO YOU EVER DO PROPOSALS FOR TOWNS TO LOOK AT STORMWATER RECLAMATION THAT COULD BE REUSED IN GRAYWATER APPLICATIONS? IT'D BE NICE IF WE WERE A LEADER IN CONSERVATION AND MAYBE TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT OUR OPTIONS.

YEAH. NO WE HAVE DONE THOSE STUDIES.

ABSOLUTELY. WHAT DO I WANT TO LOOK LIKE? HOW DO I WANT TO CAPTURE RAINWATER.

DO I WANT TO HAVE A REUSE SYSTEM THAT PUMPS GRAYWATER FOR JUST IRRIGATION PURPOSES? WE CERTAINLY HAVE DONE LOTS OF STUDIES AROUND THE AREA WHERE THAT'S NOT ACTUALLY PART OF THIS CURRENT CONTRACT OR SCOPE, BUT WE CAN DEFINITELY MAKE IT A RECOMMENDATION. I PRESUME NOT, BUT I THINK I THINK I'D LIKE TO SEE A PROPOSAL.

ABSOLUTELY. IT WOULD PUT WESTLAKE, YOU KNOW, IN A LEADERSHIP POSTURE AND THAT WE DO AN AWFUL LOT OF LAWN WATERING WITH THAT PRECIOUS CLEAN WATER THAT WE GET.

YES. YEAH.

[LAUGHTER] GREAT QUESTION.

I JUST FINISHED A WATER MASTER PLAN UPDATE FOR THE CITY OF FORT WORTH FOR THEIR NORTH SIDE WATER SYSTEM, WHICH Y'ALL ARE A CUSTOMER OF FORT WORTH'S NORTH SIDE WATER SYSTEM.

AND SO KNOWING WHAT'S GOING ON ON THE PROVIDER SIDE, THEY HAVE THEIR CHALLENGES AND MAKING SURE THEY GET ALL THE WATER THAT YOU GUYS NEED. AND I WOULD SAY TO THAT POINT, IF YOU SAID IF WE WERE GOING TO DECREASE SOME OF OUR IRRIGATION, GOING TO LOWER OUR OVERALL POTABLE WATER DEMAND, YOU KNOW, THAT'S I'D SAY THAT'S IN YOUR BENEFIT TO DO SO.

[00:35:05]

BUT DOES THAT COST OFFSET WHAT YOU'RE CURRENTLY DOING? THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO TRY TO FIND OUT.

PERFECT. SO TAKING ALL OF THOSE DIFFERENT COMPONENTS AND ROLLING THEM UP INTO THE COMPREHENSIVE CIP AGAIN, IT'S A BUSINESS CASE, PRIORITIZED CIP WHERE, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S YOUR NUMBER ONE NEED.

WHAT'S THE THING WE NEED TO DO RIGHT NOW? WHAT'S THE THING THAT'S KEEPING CHERYL AND KYLE UP AT NIGHT? WE WANT TO FIX THAT FIRST AND THEN YOU START GOING DOWN THINGS FROM THERE.

EVERYTHING HAS A DESCRIPTION, HAS A DRIVER.

IT HAS AN ESTIMATED COST.

TRYING TO PROVIDE YOUR STAFF THE TOOLS YOU NEED TO REALLY IMPLEMENT UPGRADES AND IMPROVEMENTS TO THE WATER SYSTEM.

OUTSTANDING. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? WELL, WADE, I MEAN, WE'RE THIS STRATEGIC PLAN WITH BAKER AND TILLY IS KIND OF TIMELY.

WHERE ARE WE GETTING OUR GROWTH PROJECTIONS FROM BAKER AND TILLY OR DO WE HAVE THEM? WE'RE HELPING BAKER AND TILLY PUT THOSE TOGETHER.

PUT THOSE TOGETHER. WITH OUR WITH OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS, OKAY.

BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT GOING ON AS YOU WELL KNOW.

THAT'S CORRECT. SO I HATE TO I DON'T HATE TO I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT HERE FOR JUST A SECOND.

SO WHAT WE HEARD IS THAT WE DEFINITELY WANT TO HAVE A PROPOSAL LOOKED AT, OR MAYBE AN ADDITION TO THE SCOPE OF WORK FOR THE GRAYWATER RECLAMATION, IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DO.

IS THERE A PERCENTAGE THAT YOU WOULD FEEL COMFORTABLE INCREASING THIS PROPOSAL? THAT WE COULD DO A NOT TO EXCEED NUMBER OR ADDED TO THIS TO THAT WOULD PROBABLY HELP US WITH THAT WITHOUT HAVING TO BRING THIS TO COUNCIL AGAIN IS WHAT I'M THINKING.

NO PRESSURE.

OH, MAN. I WOULD THAT'S A TOUGH CALL AT THE DAIS.

I UNDERSTAND. IT IS.

AND TO BE HONEST, THAT'S NOT AN EFFORT I WOULD LEAD.

SO. YEAH, WE'LL BRING IT BACK.

OKAY. YEAH. IT'S POSSIBLE.

THAT'S FAIR. IT'S ALL RIGHT. YEAH, THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

TALK TO OUR DRAINAGE. AND NOT JUST GRAYWATER, BUT BUT ALTERNATIVE METHODS.

RIGHT? YES. YES, SIR.

AND NOT JUST RAINWATER CAPTURE, BUT A LOT OF OUR IRRIGATION ENDS UP BUBBLING OVER OR GOING DOWN INTO OUR STORMWATER FACILITY.

SO THAT JUST GOING DOWN.

RIGHT. IF THERE'S A POSSIBILITY YOU COULD HARNESS THAT, THEN WORTH EXPLORING.

WE'LL GET WITH FREESE AND NICHOLS AND WE'LL GET ANOTHER PROPOSAL.

THAT'S GREAT.

VERY QUICKLY. THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL? THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING HERE.

APPRECIATE IT. APPRECIATE IT.

CAN I GET A MOTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 24-59? SO MOVED. CAN I GET A SECOND? SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH.

[H.2. RES 24-62 Consider and act to approve Resolution 24-62 approving an agreement with Floyd Smith Concrete, Inc. for concrete repair and installation services as needed for concrete infrastructure throughout the town in an amount not to exceed $95,000. (Cheryl Taylor, P.E., Director of Public Works).]

AGENDA ITEM H.2, RESOLUTION 24-62.

CONSIDER AN ACT TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 24-62, APPROVING AN AGREEMENT WITH FLOYD SMITH CONCRETE FOR CONCRETE REPAIRS AND INSTALLATION.

SERVICES NEEDED FOR CONCRETE INFRASTRUCTURE THROUGHOUT THE TOWN, IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $95,000, AND SHOW.

THAT THE TOWN HAS CONTRACTED WITH FLOYD SMITH CONCRETE ON SEVERAL PROJECTS THIS YEAR, THE FIRST ONE BEING THE GLENWYCK PARK POND DAM REPAIR THAT WAS APPROVED BY THE TOWN MANAGER IN FEBRUARY. AS YOU MAY RECALL, LAST MONTH THE COUNCIL APPROVED A NOT TO EXCEED $35,000 FOR THE THORNTON DRIVEWAY REPLACEMENT WITHIN THE STAGECOACH DEVELOPMENT.

SINCE THEN, THERE HAVE BEEN A HANDFUL OF CONCRETE STREET PANELS THAT ARE REQUIRING REPLACEMENT AROUND SANITARY SEWER INFRASTRUCTURE.

THERE'S BEEN SOME SETTLEMENT THERE, AND WE'VE GOT SOME.

WE'VE RECEIVED SOME INQUIRIES FROM LOCAL RESIDENTS, AND THEN WE ADDED AN ADDITIONAL $13,000 TO ROUND THE TOTAL, UP TO 95 FOR ANY OTHER REPAIRS THAT MAY BE NEEDED IN THE COMING MONTHS. SO THE TOTAL NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT OF $95,000 IS ABOVE THE CITY MANAGERS OR, EXCUSE ME, THE TOWN MANAGER'S SIGNATORY AUTHORITY AND REQUIRES THE COUNCIL'S APPROVAL.

ANY QUESTIONS? CAN I GET A MOTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 24-62? SO MOVED. CAN I GET A SECOND? SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH.

CHERYL, THANK YOU.

H.3 24-291.

[H.3. 24-291 Consider and act to cast the Town of Westlake’s single vote for Texas Municipal League Region 8 Director (Wade Carroll, Town Manager)]

CONSIDER AN ACT TO CAST THE TOWN OF WESTLAKE SINGLE VOTE FOR TEXAS MUNICIPAL LEAGUE REGION EIGHT DIRECTOR.

WADE. MAYOR AND COUNCIL THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

MAYOR, I PROBABLY OUGHT TO LET YOU ANNOUNCE YOUR CANDIDACY FOR THIS.

SO YOU STUCK YOURSELF OUT THERE A LITTLE BIT OUT ON A LIMB, AND REGION EIGHT IS OUR REGION THAT WE FALL IN WITHIN THE TEXAS MUNICIPAL LEAGUE.

THE TEXAS MUNICIPAL LEAGUE IS AN AGENCY WITHIN TEXAS THAT ABOUT 160 DIFFERENT CITIES ARE A PART OF.

[00:40:04]

WE GET LEGAL ADVICE FROM THEM.

WE ALSO GET BEST PRACTICES, AND THEY'RE A GREAT SOURCE OF INFORMATION FOR TOWNS AND CITIES THROUGHOUT TEXAS.

EVERY REGION IS LED BY A DIRECTOR, AND WE HAVE A BALLOT BEFORE COUNCIL TO PUT IN OUR VOTE FOR THE DIRECTOR FOR REGION EIGHT, OF WHICH MAYOR GREAVES IS A PART OF THAT.

SO I YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WANT US TO CONTINUE TO DO AS A TOWN IS TO BE MORE INVOLVED LOCALLY AND YOU KNOW, THROUGH METRO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, THROUGH THE OTHER VOLUNTEER EFFORTS, THROUGH CHARITIES AND STUFF.

SO I'M RETIRED.

I'VE BEEN RETIRED THREE YEARS NOW, SO I WANT TO KIND OF HELP THE TOWN.
