The Council received a citizen report from Bob Powell regarding citizen participation in Denton City government. 110 City of Denton City Council Minutes May 7, 1991 Page 4 Mr. Powell stated that~C. C. Sexton had presented a good idea to the Council regarding the televising of the Council meetings. He felt that anything the Council could do to take City government to citizen's homes would be good for Denton. He also felt that single member districts was a good idea. It would be good for the City and citizens to have a 6-1 or similar set-up for Council districts. The closer government was to the individual citizen, the better it was and the more responsive it was. B. The Council received a citizen report from Laura Brown regarding safety/health/environmental measures for residential areas on Loop 288. Ms. Brown stated that dirt work was being done on the Loop 288 that was within inches of the property lines on Neptune and in some areas was on their property. There were no barriers/barricades for the construction area. She requested barricades in order to eliminate the flow of traffic until the project was completed. She requested a sound barrier, fencing, landscaping, and lighting be constructed behind the homes. Council Member Hopkins requested staff to detail what was being done concerning this project. Rick Svehla, Deputy City Manager, stated that he had had conversations with the neighbors and with the Highway Department regarding this issue. The Highway Department seemed receptive to the idea of a sound barrier and barricades for the project. Staff was in the process of furnishing the Highway Department with more information on existing buildings, the terrain, etc. and projections on vehicular traffic in the area. C. The Council received a citizen report from Rosemary Killam regarding safety/health/environmental measures for residential areas on Loop 288. Dr. Killam presented a video tape of the area showing the proximity of the road construction to her home. She presented the following recommendations: (1) do for north Denton what was done for south Denton - postpone the completion of Loop 288 as I35 was sufficient for traffic, (2) move the project north, (3) depress the roadbed so that it was not at eye level, (4) raise barriers of concrete and stone between the residential area and the road, (5) berm the area, (6) provide adequate sound and safety barriers between the neighbors and Loop 288.

Motion carried unanimously. C. The Council considered adoption of an ordinance approving a participating contract with the Upper Trinity Regional Water District for the Cooper Reservoir Project. (The Public Utilities Board recommended approval.) Bob Nelson, Executive Director for Utilities, presented the background of the project. In August, 1990, the City adopted a resolution of support of the Upper Trinity Regional Water District entering into a contract with the City of Commerce, Texas, wherein the UTRWD would assume the City of Commerce's position in a contract with the Sulphur River Water District for 11.72 million gallons of water per day from the new Cooper Reservoir. This resolution indicated Denton's intent to enter into a contract with the UTRWD for a 2 MGD priority share of water from this contract in exchange for providing 33% upfront guaranteed financial support when they had financial resources to do so. The final contract had been jointly reviewed by Denton and Lewisville with a bond attorney and modifications had been made. The basic change had been that the guaranteeing parties, who were Denton (33%-2MGD), Lewisville (33%-2MGD), Highland Village (16.5%-lMGD), and Denton Fresh Water District #1 (16-5%-lMGD) would have essential ownership to the Cooper water via the UTRWD contract until such time as the UTRWD exercised their option to the 5.72 MGD of the contract not guaranteed to the four parties. After the UTRWD exercised their option, this contract essentially would become a "participating member" raw water contract with the above parties having the above-listed priority right to water from this project. The cost of the water was very low. There was a one time $50,000 payment to Commerce, and it was estimated the first year legal and regulatory costs would be approximately $50,000. The payment to the Corps of Engineers was $63,241 per year for the first 10 years of the reservoir's operation. 114 City of Denton City Council Minutes May 7, 1991 Page 8 Council Member Hopkins asked how many years this contract would provide for the City. Nelson replied that the City's average water usage per 70,000 population was between 10-11 million gallons per day. For every million gallons of water, approximately 7,000 people would be served. Council Member Hopkins stated that this did not ensure the City for the future and that the City would have to continue looking for water. Nelson replied yes that it would determine what arena the City would operate in. Council Member Hopkins stated that she felt the estimated legal fees was extremely low. The City would be paying $50,000 whether it received any water or not. Nelson replied that $50,00 went to Commerce for repayment of their investment over the years and the City would not get that back. Council Member Hopkins asked why the City was working with Lewisville's bond attorney and not Denton's bond attorney. Nelson replied that the City's bond attorney did not have any concerns regarding the contract. The City's bond attorney had reviewed the issue and from a bond technical standpoint, had indicated that there was not a problem with the contract. From a business decision standpoint, there needed to be a business decision made that this was a necessary expense. His concern was from a business standpoint. From a necessary standpoint, Nelson indicated that getting water was such a long term process that it was necessary to begin as soon as possible. This was a fairly low-cost way to get into a project to find out where the City would get its next water. The Lewisville bond attorney was used because Lewisville had already hired their attorney to completely review the contract. Council Member Hopkins what happened if Lewisville did not pass their portion of the contract. Nelson replied that unless.all parties signed the contract by June 16, 1991, the process would start over. Council Member Ayer stated that he understood that one of the major advantages of the City's participating in the project was tied to the fact that there would be long-range raw water requirements and at thi~ point, it was not clear where that would come from. Entering into this contract and if the interbasin transfer permit was approved, it would give the City City of Denton City Council Minutes May 7, 1991 Page 9 a potential of obtaining a significant amount of raw water from the Sulphur River basin. Would that be the single most important reason for entering into the contract. Nelson replied yes because Denton may not need water now but it needed to know where it will get the water in the future. Council Member Alexander expressed a concern that the Council had received a sufficient amount of legal advice before it took action on the contract. He asked the City Attorney if she felt the City's bond attorney needed to look at the contract again. Debra Drayovitch, City Attorney, replied that this was a very important contract and that a number of lawyers had looked at it. She would welcome the City's bond counsel looking at the contract again as there had been changes since he had last seen it. Council Member Alexander asked what would happen it this were tabled to the next Council meeting in order to allow the City's bond attorney to review the contract. Nelson replied that if the vote were taken two weeks from now there probably would not be a problem. If the legal review were lengthy, there might be a problem with the timing of the transfer permit etc. Mayor Pro Tem Boyd stated that he was not in agreement in holding the contract. He felt it was an important matter which had been studied in great detail. The following ordinance was considered: NO. 91-070 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF DENTON AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF DENTON, AND THE CITY OF HIGHLAND VILLAGE, THE CITY OF LEWISVILLE AND THE DENTON COUNTY FRESH WATER SUPPLY DISTRICT NO. 1 RELATING TO THE ACQUISITION OF SURFACE WATER FROM THE COOPER RESERVOIR; AUTHORIZING THE EXPENDITURE OF FUNDS AS PROVIDED IN SAID AGREEMENT; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

She felt the original resolution already approved by Council authorized the Mayor to sign such a letter. B. Report of meeting with EPA Officials Harrell stated that the Mayor hosted a meeting with three officials from the Environmental Protection Agency. This meeting was also attended by representatives from the Chamber of Commerce, the Economic Development Board, Representative Armey's office, the City Manger from Lewisville and various staff members from the City of Denton. The purpose of the meeting was to try to have direct dialog with the EPA officials who would be sending to the State their semi-final recommendation as to the boundaries of the non-attainment area in the Dallas-Fort Worth area under the new Clean Air Act. There was a recommendation from the State that four counties be singled out for inclusion in the non-attainment area in the Dallas-Fort Worth Area. Those counties were Dallas, Tarrent, Collin and Denton. Two major concerns were expressed to the EPA officials (1) the location of the monitoring device which was in the southeast corner of Denton County and which was felt did not measure pollution coming from Denton County but rather pollution being blown from the Dallas-Fort Worth area and (2) the major disadvantage which would be placed on Denton and Denton County if they were singled out for a non-attainment classification while the other five counties in the metroplex area remained unclassified. Three alternatives were suggested to the EPA officials (1) placing Denton County in the non-classification area, (2) consider trying to separate mobile and stationary source problems and place Denton County in a non-attainment classification for mobile sources and unclassified for stationary sources, (3) consider the nine county metroplex area in a non-attainment classification which would put all of the counties on equal ground. Harrell's impression was that the officials already had their positions and rejected options one and two. Option three left how to draw the boundaries. They did indicate that they might expand beyond four the number of counties in the non-attainment classification but not to the nine county region. C. Harrell requested Council direction regarding the City Council Planning Session and requested several Council Members to work with staff regarding location, etc. for the Session. Mayor Castleberry appointed Council Members Trent and Alexander. City of Denton City Council Minutes May 7, 1991 Page 15 121 D.

Council Member Alexander suggested a planning session for a reception for the retiring Council Members. 15. The Council did not meet in Executive Session during the Regular Session. With no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:05 p.m. CITY, OF DS~NTON, TEXAS BOB CASTLEBERR¥, MAYOR / CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS/ / 3390C
