C~ Page Three Minutes February 7, 1989 • 8. Dale Conger of Espey, Huston & Associates, Inc. went through the schedule for submittal of bid to the Texas Water Development Board. g. John Joerns stated all letters that the Board requested at the last meeting have been sent to the proper authorities. He stated there were two (2) letters concerning the audit that required signatures. Steve Gillett discussed some information he had procured on the problems the City of Houston is having acquiring the easements going west from the plant for their distribution lines. This has delayed the plant and could be the source of the Authority"s legal problems. Mr. Gillett reported the same attorney doing the legal work for the City of Houston is doing the legal work for CWA. He stated this is significant because the City of Houston can"t start-up the plant until they have somewhere to send the water. CWA contractor constructing the raw water line is behind schedule and is expected to finish March 1, 1989, and should not affect the Authority"s schedule. The City of Houston has awarded the design contract for the internal line to Turner Collie & Braden, Inc. and they expect to be completed October 1, 1989• The Board expressed their desire to stress the urgency to the City of Houston to expedite the license agreement for use of the CWA right-of-way. John Joerns stated he would meet with Bob Herrera and they would begin pressing the matter. Authority Attorney John Armstrong reported a meeting of the Authority will be needed in about two (2) or three (3) weeks to approve the Bond resolution, documents, and certificates for the February 28, 1989 closing date. He stated he would request the meeting from the General Manager at that time. 10. President Jerry Bramlett questioned if the presentation to Council on the contract explained the PVC versus the ductile pipe.
