<br />LA PORTE AREA WATER AUTHORITY BOARD <br /> <br />MINUTES <br /> <br />SEPTEMBER 17, 1986 <br /> <br />1. The meeting was called to order at 6:32 P.M. by President Jerry <br />Bramlett. <br /> <br />MEMBERS PRESENT: President Jerry Bramlett, Vice-President Al Fields, <br />Secretary Rick Matthews, Member Cary Burnley <br /> <br />OTHERS PRESENT: City Manager Jack Owen, Authority Attorney John <br />Armstrong, Acting Public Works Director Steve Gillett, Neil Bishop and <br />Cecil Allen of Turner Collie & Braden, David Fetzer and Pete Fisher of <br />Maroney Beissner & Co., Water/Wastewater Superintendent Buddy Jacobs <br /> <br />2. A motion was made and seconded to approve the minutes of the meetings <br />on February 25, August 12, and September 3, 1986. It passed unanimously. <br /> <br />3. The letter to the entities advising them of the LPAWA's direction was <br />presented and signed and will be delivered to each entity on September <br />18, 1986. <br /> <br />Costs figures from the City of Deer Park were presented for a 4 mgd and <br />a 10 mgd surface water treatment plant. Transmission lines were not <br />included due to the site location not being determined. A motion was <br />made by Cary Burnley for TC&B to compare the costs from Deer Park to <br />the costs presented for the Southeast plant to determine the feasibility <br />of going with Deer Park. Second by Rick Matthews, passed unanimously. <br />TC&B will call Klotz Associates on September 18, 1986 to set up a meeting <br />to accomplish this and should have the comparison within one (1) week. <br /> <br />Neil Bishop asked David Fetzer that although Deer Park would vote <br />twenty (20) year G.O. Bonds the City of Houston would only give them a <br />ten (10) year raw water contract and would that affect the bonding <br />capability of the LPAWA. Mr. Fetzer did not know definitely and would <br />check on it. <br /> <br />Mr. Fetzer also indicated that the City of Deer Park would vote on the <br />bonds in a very short time leaving the LPAWA little time to make a <br />decision. Mr. Owen will call Deer Park on September 18 to get additional <br />information for TC&B so that they can present their comparison in a <br />timely manner. <br /> <br />Jerry Bramlett stated that although this is a viable option the LPAWA <br />should continue their negotiations with the City of Houston for a <br />portion of the Southeast Plant. <br /> <br />A motion was made and seconded to have a meeting on Thursday, September <br />25, 1986, at 6:30 P.M. to discuss TC&B's findings. It passed unanimously <br />
