Jim Jeffers, City Manager presented the Council with a review of the platting and subdivision regulations, noting that there are circumstances where variances to the subdivision regulations may be granted. Franklin Ebeling and Fred BechtOld were present and advised their business consists of the manufacturing of carports, patio covers and other metal constructions. Ebeling advised they were needing to move from their present location for additional space and was anticipating adding a 4,000 square foot addition to the building located on the Dimmitt Highway. When they requested a building permit to begin construction on the addition they were advised of the platting requirements. Ebeling advised he had contacted Carl Joe Williams for an estimate on the platting and was quoted a cost of $2,000. 2 of 4 Ebeling advised they were wanting to keep their cost down and were requesting a waiver of having to put up escrow funds for water, sewer and curb and gutter. The Council discussed the Pecos Place property, which is located on the Dimmitt Highway, and whether they were required to follow the subdivision regulations when it was developed. It was the consensus of the Council for staff to review costs, escrows and subdivision regulations that were required on Pecos Place and bring it back before the Council for further review. Wastewater Treatment Plant. At the retreat the Council requested that a policy be developed addressing flow and quality contributions to the wastewater treatment plant from industrial prospects. The policy states the plant can handle up to 225,000 gallons per day before it reaches the seventy-five percent capacity level. Once the plant reaches the seventy-five percent capacity level, the City must begin planning for the expansion and upgrading of the facility. Therefore, the City is requesting the Industrial Foundation and the Chamber of Commerce notify the City of any industrial prospect who would be a potential large contributor to the wastewater treatment plant allowing the City to conduct an economic analysis on the impact the industrial prospect would have on the wastewater treatment plant as well as the economic impact such prospect would have on the economy. The Council had no objections to said policy being implemented. Boards and Conauission Appointments. The Council was reminded of the vacant positiOns on the Planning and Zoning Commission, Board of Adjustment and Building Code and Fire Code Board of Appeals and the need to solicit applicants to fill those vacancies. Landfill. Jim Jeffers, City Manager advised the Council of discussions with Jim Hamm concerning the permitting process on the landfill with the Texas Department of Health. Hamm advised to complete the permit in a timely fashion that the landfill was probably going to have to be lined. The State is now requiring additional soil samples. Additional costs for completing the permitting of the landfill is estimated between $25,000 and $30,000. Landfill rates will be adjusted according to final permitting cost. SPAG Solid Waste Management Task Force. A task force has been formed by SPAG to meet with HDR Engineering to establish a financing plan for the solid waste management contract. It was noted that Bill Hogge, Director of Public Works is a member of this task force. Council was advised of a letter written in April to SPAG stating that the City was not opposed to the proposed plan, but objected to the City and the County both helping to finance this project, since City taxpayers are also County taxpayers. Council was of the consensus that the City should reaffirm, with SPAG, the position that counties should pay for 100 percent of the project. Adjournment. Motion was made by Councilmember Don Dickson to 3 of 4 adjourn. Motion was duly seconded by Councilmember Dwain Dodson and carried by a unanimous vote. There being no further business Mayor E.V.
