MEMBERS PRESENT: Alderman Kyle Cook, Chair; Alderwoman Adella Gray; Alderman Lioneld Jordan; Alderman Robert Ferrell OTHER ALDERPERSONS PRESENT: Alderwoman Thiel; Alderwoman Shirley Lucas STAFF PRESENT: David Jurgens; Gary Dumas; Ron Petrie; Tim Conklin; Billy Ammons (OMI) Chairman Kyle Cook called the meeting to order. 1. Approve Minutes Alderman Jordan moved that the minutes of the May 8, 2007 Water & Sewer Committee be approved as submitter. Alderwoman Gray seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Alderman Cook moved Item #7 to the top of the agenda for discussion Water and Wastewater Policies and Procedures and Ordinance Updates c. WWW -03, Water and Sewer Main Extension Policy David Jurgens said there were several different policies and procedures to be discussed. He suggested discussion of Policy #3 which addresses Water and Sewer Main Extensions. He said this policy has been discussed several times over the last fifteen years. By ordinance people who receive the benefit of a water or sewer main extension are required to pay for the cost of that extension. The request has come up several times over the last eight years from a resident on Wilson Hollow Road to do an extension. We have always told this resident the same thing we tell every other resident that makes the request which is that they have to hire an engineer to have it designed and hire a contractor to have the extension made. It has to be approved by the City engineering staff and the Health Department staff and inspected by the City before the line is accepted by the City. A couple of years ago Alderwoman Thiel asked if there was an alternative and Mr. Jurgens explained that the only other way it could be done is to have Water & Sewer 113 West Mountain 72701 (479) 521-7700 (479) 575-8257 (Fax) accessfayetteville.org City Council Water & Sewer Meeting Minutes June 12, 2007 Page 2 of 11 staff do the design and the construction. However, Mr. Jurgens said he objects to that since staff could end up doing nothing but main extensions if we ever break the policy of not doing that type of work. In this particular case the water extension would be for one lot. The cost for the in- house construction would be about $33,900 and it would take two crews two full weeks to complete. That is why this has been brought forward as a policy issue. Water and Sewer has not done main extensions except in cases involving public health and safety. For example we did one about six months ago when there was a septic tank on North Street right at Lake Lucille that was overflowing and had been overflowing for some time. Rather than fixing the septic system, the owner of that property and an owner of the property across the street paid to have a main extension done. In a case such as this we can get approval from the Health Department without having to do extended plans and we can do it much faster than hiring an engineer and hiring a contractor. Mr. Jurgens explained that the City has four water crews that lay pipe. Last year they fixed around 720 water leaks, which is their primary job. When they are laying pipe, the focus has always been that they lay pipe to stop the water leaks. He said we are running between 18 and 24% unmetered water at this time. Some of that is due to breaks, some is due to meters not reading everything and some is due to construction water. The in-house charter is to bring that number down and replace pipes that have leaks. The policy question is whether we should entertain a policy of doing main extensions to customers who don't currently have water or sewer service that are within the City limits. Alderwoman Thiel asked if the question is whether or not they pay for it. David Jurgens said they would have to pay for it. The question is whether or not City crews do the work. Alderwoman Thiel asked if they could hire their own engineer to do the work. David Jurgens said they could. He said staff has told this resident many times that she could hire her own engineer and contractor. People do that all the time. Alderwoman Thiel clarified that the City has to approve it. David Jurgens agreed. He said that is part of the standard business that Engineering does in reviewing plans for main extensions. Alderman Thiel asked what would be the circumstances that would allow the City to do a cost share. David Jurgens said we would do a cost share if we are requiring that the line be a larger diameter. Or such as is the case of the septic system on North Street, where there is a public health and safety issue and it is in town. We did that cost share based on the tapping fee rates that have been established by the Council. When the tapping fee rates were established, we required the customers to pay 75% of the actual cost of providing the service of the tap. So the way we handle these cost shares is the customer buys the tap plus they pay the 75% of the main extension. Alderman Cook asked if there is anyone else around this resident that might help with the cost. 113 West Mountain 72701 (479) 521-7700 (479) 575-8257 (Fax) accessfayetteville.org City Council Water & Sewer Meeting Minutes June 12, 2007 Page 3 of 11 Alderwoman Thiel said she is at the end of the line. The City ran water all the way down the road and stopped short of her place. She said Mr. Jurgens explained to her that years ago the Herman Jones family donated a certain amount of right-of-way to the City so the lines were run in lieu of paying for them. David Jurgens said that sounds like was an in-kind payment essentially. Alderwoman Thiel said all the houses before this resident's house belonged to the Jones family. So that's the reason the line was run as far as it was. It just didn't quite make it to her place. David Jurgens said the challenge we are faced with is that there are over a thousand lots that are one lot away from the end of our pipe. As soon as we extend to those thousand lots, there will be another thousand lots that are now one lot away. We have never been in the business of doing this work in-house but we have always offered the alternative of the resident hiring an engineer and contractor themselves. We have sometimes facilitated meetings with neighbors who can cost share. Alderwoman Thiel said she had asked Mr. Jurgens at one time if he could get her an approximation of how many people live in the City limits of Fayetteville that do not have water. David Jurgens said that is a very difficult question to answer. Staff is in the process now of doing a full audit of all of our accounts, both water and sewer, and what the anomalies are. Even two years ago the GIS technology was such that it would have taken a very long time to do this. Now we are making pretty good progress and we have already identified some anomalies. He said staff is working on coming up with an answer to Alderwoman Thiel's question. Alderwoman Thiel said she is not referring to any of the newly annexed areas, but areas that have been in the City for five or ten years. She said she feels that any resident of the City of Fayetteville should have water. Water is a necessity. Septic systems can create problems and health issues, but it's not as much a necessity as water. If and when Mr. Jurgens comes up with a number, she would like to have a conversation about how much it would actually cost to provide water to all those people. David Jurgens said the two parts of what staff is doing include developing a master plan that includes closing loops. He said a lot of the lots that don't have water are between two developments of which they were not a portion. Therefore the lines weren't extended to the lot because it's generally the developers that extend the mains. Many times if we need to do a loop connection, some of those lots will get water by accident just because we connect the dots. The second and the hardest part of the account audit will be to take the aerials a quarter section at a time and find the structures that don't have a dot (or account). He has been told by some of the owners in the older parts of town that they have been receiving water for decades and never received a bill because no one could find the meter. He isn't sure he entirely believes this, but if that is correct he wants to find those houses and those meters. The audit will also show us those residences that truly don't have accounts and aren't getting water. We will then have to go out and do a field verification to see if they have chlorine in their water to see if it is City water and we just don't have an account. Alderman Ferrell asked if it is still Mr. Jurgens' recommendation that the City crews defer to contractors to do this work. 113 West Mountain 72701 (479) 521-7700 (479) 575-8257 (Fax) accessfayetteville.org City Council Water & Sewer Meeting Minutes June 12, 2007 Page 4 of 11 David Jurgens said that it is. Alderman Ferrell asked if it is cheaper for them to get a private contractor to do this than it would be for the City to do it. David Jurgens said generally he believes the City forces can do the work cheaper than a private contractor can. We don't have the profit motive. We do meet our own criteria for inspection because our warrantee lasts a lifetime, so the engineering and inspection is going to be less expensive. And because our overhead tends to be less, he believes we can do the construction cheaper also. Alderman Ferrell said he would expect that with the recent annexations there are a lot of people in the City limits that don't have City water or sewer but they are going to get it. Alderwoman Thiel said they are not going to get water. David Jurgens said the citizens in the annexed area to the west are on Washington Water Authority so they can't get City water. Most annexations occur because there is a development and the developers are then the ones who extend the water to those residences. Alderman Ferrell said he believes there are several out there on septic and with wells that will get water when the Washington Water Authority gets there or when we get there. David Jurgens said there are many anomalies out there and he gave some examples. He said there are about four houses in a row on Rodgers Drive that are all on septic and there are others scattered all over town. When they built on the lots, someone made the decision (generally the previous owner) about whether they wanted septic or City sewer and if they wanted to dig a well or have City water. He added that in some cases it may not have been feasible to get City services. However, he questioned whether it is the City's responsibility to extend the services at the City's expense when it was a decision of the owner at the time to make that choice. Alderwoman Thiel said she thinks it depends on when that choice was made. She said there are some fairly new developments on Mt. Sequoyah that are on septic tanks. But there are also old projects that were done maybe before sewer was available. So that wasn't a choice for those houses. She said also there are some properties on Summit that are on septic tank that are being charged for sewer. David Jurgens said that is one of the reasons we are doing the audit, so we can find those that are being billed for sewer that aren't on it. He said we reimburse for that. Alderman Cook brought the discussion back to the central question, which is do we maintain the policy we already have in place. He said he agrees with that policy. He is concerned that if we do get into the business of extending the lines, it will never end. He said he understands this citizen's plight, but if we go down that road it will never end. And our Water & Sewer funds won't allow us to do many extensions. Alderwoman Thiel asked if it mattered that this property has been in the city limits for forty years. 113 West Mountain 72701 (479) 521-7700 (479) 575-8257 (Fax) accessfayetteville.org City Council Water & Sewer Meeting Minutes June 12, 2007 Page 5 of 11 Alderman Cook said it matters to him but doesn't change his mind on the policy. Alderwoman Thiel continued by asking if it would matter even if the resident pays for it and it doesn't cost the City anything to do it. David Jurgens said it doesn't cost money directly to put it in but it will cost us in terms of doing our normal business because those twelve guys are very busy every day. They are maintaining 650 miles of pipe, some of which is over 100 years old. Alderman Cook asked if the citizen had priced through a private individual to see how much it would cost. David Jurgens said he thought she had done that when he talked to her six or seven years ago. Alderwoman Thiel said she has really been trying to get some determination from the City. This is finally the first time she's really gotten... David Jurgens said that isn't correct. He has told her this on several occasions over several years. Alderwoman Thiel asked if he had given the resident a figure. David Jurgens said he had told her the City doesn't do this and she would have to hire an engineer and a contractor which has always been our response. Alderwoman Thiel said she thought the resident has had the engineering done. So that's why she hoped she could get the City to just run the pipe since she already had the engineering done. Alderman Ferrell said he concurs with keeping the policy as it is. Alderman Jordan agreed. Alderwoman Thiel said she would pass the word on to the resident. a. WWW -01, Sewer Service Line Policy b. WWW -02, Water Service Line Policy David Jurgens said the other policies and procedures on the agenda are both fairly similar. Normally policies are signed by the mayor and don't come before the City Council. But these are going to be the basis for the next go around of the Water & Wastewater ordinance updates and it gives him and his field crews more strength to say the policies have been reviewed and approved by the City Council or a Council Committee. That is why he has brought them to this Committee. There are minor changes made to this policy from what has been in effect for the City for quite some time. The policy incorporates pieces of ordinance as well as policy not captured in the ordinance. The main changes from existing policy are that we amplified on the grease definition and we added in the piece about garbage disposals. He said a lot of calls to residences involve blockages from garbage disposal debris. The industry has recognized now that a 4 inch sewer line just isn't built to handle what is created by garbage disposals used in 113 West Mountain 72701 (479) 521-7700 (479) 575-8257 (Fax) accessfayetteville.org City Council Water & Sewer Meeting Minutes June 12, 2007 Page 6 of 11 mass, no matter how much water you run through it. We also added in a piece on medical waste. Nothing in the wastewater treatment plant stream removes the medical residue from the wastewater. Now we are trying to set the ordinance so we don't contribute to the problem anymore. Alderman Cook asked if Mr. Jurgens is just updating the Committee on these policies or if he wants a vote. David Jurgens said it is at the will of the Committee. He said this is an update to the existing policy. Alderman Cook suggested the Committee members take the opportunity to review each of these and discuss them at the next meeting and vote on them. Alderman Ferrell asked if the changes are highlighted in the policies distributed. David Jurgens said they are not. H said he doesn't believe the Committee has seen copies of the last versions so he wasn't sure that highlighting changes would make a difference. He said the changes are pretty extensive (in the Backflow Ordinance). He said he is not rushing this through. A lot of the changes were derived from lessons learned and he would be happy to explain anything if the aldermen have questions. d. Backflow Prevention Ordinance David Jurgens said this ordinance is a little bit different. This is a complete rewrite of what we had before. He said in our Health Department Sanitary Survey, they looked at the Backflow Prevention Ordinance and discovered it was not in complete compliance with Health Department requirements. So this is a complete rewrite of that ordinance. There is no big hurry on this and there is time for the Committee to review it before more discussion. Alderman Cook asked if the ordinance came out of the City Attorney's office. David Jurgens said this was drafted through his staff, reviewed by the Health Department and reviewed by the City Attorney's office. They acknowledged that they would get one more opportunity to review it. Mr. Jurgens said he needed guidance on how to handle an ordinance change and whether it should go through the Water & Sewer Committee and then the Ordinance Review Committee. Alderman Cook said if Alderwoman Thiel wants it to go through the Ordinance Review Committee, it can. But if it goes through the Water & Sewer Committee, it can go to the Council from here. Alderman Jordan said Alderwoman Thiel can pull it when it gets to the Council and put it back through Ordinance Review if she thinks it is necessary. David Jurgens said the City Attorney's office has made comments on this and those comments were incorporated wherever possible and responses were given to Mr. Williams where staff didn't feel those comments allowed us to conform to the Health Department requirements. He said it is pretty much ready do go to the Council as it is. He can foresee virtually no changes. 113 West Mountain 72701 (479) 521-7700 (479) 575-8257 (Fax) accessfayetteville.org City Council Water & Sewer Meeting Minutes June 12, 2007 Page 7 of 11 Alderman Cook said these would be on the front burner at the next meeting and then we can forward them on to the Council. He then said he had received several calls about what look like GIS markers on some meter tops. He wondered what those are. David Jurgens said we have several mechanisms for reading meters. One is radio read which is more expensive. Some are touch read where you go with a wand and touch it to the tab on the top of the meter box. That's probably what the markers are. It could also be something to do with the radio read. 2. WSIP Update David Jurgens said he gave a pretty detailed update at the last City Council meeting and he didn't have a new rainbow sheet tonight because nothing had changed. There were two pre - construction conferences yesterday (June 11). We have work starting on the projects that were awarded last week and notices to proceed have already been issued. a. WSIP Farmington Area Work b. WSIP Easement Update David Jurgens said an easement matrix is attached to the agenda passed out to Committee members. One easement was obtained today for EL -2 so we are now down to nine remaining easements to acquire. We are planning to open bids on EL -2 on July 31. He said there will be some easements we will have to condemn but we're hoping it will be less than six. Some people simply will not talk to us. He talked about a couple of situations with some of the property owners. In response to a question from Alderman Cook, David Jurgens said EL -I and EL -2 are estimated at about $16 million. There will be one more project estimated at $6 million. Once those are done (bid), we will be able to breathe easier. c. Black and Veatch Change Order #2 David Jurgens said we did the original contracts with the designing firms in 2003. We then had construction phase services contracts come forward as appropriate. Those came mostly in 2005. We've done a mid-term review of those engineering contracts for construction phase services and made them match reality. Two have come forward; on the one with Black & Veatch we discovered that the contract only covered EP -2 which is the one we are finishing up right now. It did not cover EP -1 and EP -3, which are the contracts for the wet weather basin and the one that we'll do next year. However, we also discovered that we are well ahead of the projected budget for EP -2. The contract has gone pretty well and because of the way the City is managing the project it hasn't cost as much for engineering construction phase services — inspection has been cheaper than was projected. Alderman Ferrell asked whose responsibility it was to determine what was covered in that contract. David Jurgens said our previous Water & Wastewater Director negotiated that contract. It was the one he tried to take directly to the City Council without going through the Water & Sewer 113 West Mountain 72701 (479) 521-7700 (479) 575-8257 (Fax) accessfayetteville.org City Council Water & Sewer Meeting Minutes June 12, 2007 Page 8 of 11 Committee. What is now being brought forward is a no -cost change order that simply redefines the scope of work to include the construction phase services for the other two contracts d. McGoodwin, Williams and Yates Change Order #2 David Jurgens said this change order is the same kind of thing. This is actually a cost reduction change order. The way the City is managing the project is creating a savings in cost. e. Beaver Lake Watershed Nutrient Reduction Study David Jurgens said this item is a contract with GeoSyntec Consultants for the Nutrient Reduction Study. We have been talking about this for over a year. It is part of the Beaver Water District Agreement by which we negotiate our NPDES permit. Ron Petrie said it took a long time getting from the selection to the contract point. He pointed out that the contract lists six main tasks. Most of those have subtasks and it is a very complicated process they are proposing. It will take approximately twelve months and it is all based on our agreement with Beaver Water District. Alderman Cook asked what the final deliverable will be from the consultant at the end of the twelve months. Ron Petrie said the primary result is the actual plan on how we will reduce phosphorous and what steps are needed to implement that. There are many more things that go along with that so he doesn't want to over simplify it. The cost on this is $199,883. He said this is being financed under the WSIP. David Jurgens said the first year will be financed under WSIP and after that it will be financed through stormwater funds. There is a $200,000 line item in the WSIP rainbow sheet for this. Ron Petrie said staff has the consultant's representative lined up to give a presentation to the full Council or to this Committee whenever it is requested. Alderman Cook said he would like to have the entire Council and the public see the presentation. Alderman Jordan agreed. Alderman Ferrell said he had some questions while going through this process about the other users of Beaver Lake water. We seem to be the ones to get tagged and he guessed that goes along with the fact that we are in the permitting process. He said in the future he would like to see some of the other users of Beaver Lake Water District start getting tagged the way Fayetteville gets tagged. Alderman Cook said he would put Fayetteville's standards up against anybody in the country — the limits we have to meet. 113 West Mountain 72701 (479) 521-7700 (479) 575-8257 (Fax) accessfayetteville.org City Council Water & Sewer Meeting Minutes June 12, 2007 Page 9 of 11 Alderman Ferrell said he agrees and we should take pride in that but others also use it and have access to the results but you don't see them putting any money in the kitty. Not just for this, but for other stuff also. David Jurgens said the request would be for this contract to go forward to the full Council Alderman Ferrell moved that the contract be forwarded to the full Council with a presentation to the Council at some point Alderman Jordan seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Ron Petrie asked if there was any preference on whether the presentation should be at an agenda session or at a Council meeting. Alderman Cook said although he is normally not a fan of presentations at Council meetings he would like the public to be able to see this. L WL -1 and 3 Change Order Number 1 David Jurgens said this is a change order for the Oscar Renda contract. This is essentially a closing change order identifying final unit quantities and some other work that needed to be done such as a couple of pipes that were not on the maps and not identified on the plans. He said some subdivisions had actually been constructed that weren't there when the contract was awarded. The change order is fairly straight forward. Approximately $100,000 was left within the contingency for that contract so this was well within that contingency. Rock excavation was a big part of the change. He said they did some good quality work and we watched it very closely. This contract is also coming in a little bit under engineering costs projected for inspection. g. WSIP Construction Schedule and Cost Update David Jurgens said since he sent a new update out last week and there haven't been any changes, he didn't make a new copy for this week. Alderman Cook said Mayor Coody mentioned at the Council meeting, and Alderman Cook agrees, even though we got off to a rough start on this project, staff and the whole project team has done a great job since we started construction. All the issues and complaints were just in getting the ball started but since we did get it rolling, things have gone very well. 3. Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Proiect Update a. Basins 1-5, 18 & 19 Sewer Rehab David Jurgens said there were no big updates on this. We are getting ready to issue the Farmington area notices to proceed. Those will probably be issued within the next week. And then T -G Excavating will be working on the area by Doc Murdocks. He has not asked them for an update in the past couple of days to find out when they are scheduling the work. They did get out of the Sycamore area as was reported last Tuesday. b. Farmington Area 113 West Mountain 72701 (479) 521-7700 (479) 575-8257 (Fax) accessfayetteville.org City Council Water & Sewer Meeting Minutes June 12, 2007 Page 10 of 11 David Jurgens said things are going well with Farmington on how to do the mechanics of the work out there. 4. Beaver Water District Rate Increase David Jurgens said Beaver Water District has got a series of five consecutive rate increases planned. They are essentially doing something similar to a CPI based adjustment over the next five years. There will be a $.02 increase in each of the next five years with an additional cent on the fifth year. At this time they're only adopting the 2008 increase and then they will consider each increase each year after that. That information has been passed on to our rate study consultants and has been incorporated into the work they are doing. 5. Water and Sewer Rate Study Schedule David Jurgens said we should be receiving the rate study in July. We would like to have a dedicated Water & Sewer Committee meeting on July 26 just to talk about the rate study when it comes in. Alderman Cook said the last time we had this come up we had multiple meetings with different use groups. If we do end up seeing increases this time, is it the plan that we will again be meeting with user groups? David Jurgens said we will have meetings certainly as necessary. He said when we brought HDR on board in this process to evaluate the last rates and to do this rate study, other user groups were involved. Specific user groups would be wholesale customers, outside city customers (Farmington, Greenland, etc.) and also the industrial users. Alderman Cook asked if HDR would be a part of the discussions. David Jurgens said HDR will come to whichever meetings we need them to come to. We will start looking at having formal meetings with the Council probably in September. We expect that there will be a series of meetings. One of the reasons we chose July 26 for the date of the Water & Sewer Committee meeting on this issue is because essential staff and HDR are all available at that time. If we wanted to have meetings with the user groups before then, we could certainly do that. Alderman Cook said it really just depends on what the study looks like. David Jurgens said we know there will be water rate increases. We haven't had one for a long time and we are moving our capital funding from sales tax to revenue. We are looking at doing the bond issue as we have discussed several times, specifically a couple of selected capital projects such as the 36 inch water line on Crossover Road. With sewer rates, we are still tracking for no rate increases until 2009 then looking at around a 20% increase. In response to a question from Alderman Cook, David Jurgens said they selected CIP projects that were no longer deferrable when moving the capital funding. He said that specific list was given to HDR and they incorporated that list into the study. One project was the 36 inch water line. 113 West Mountain 72701 (479) 521-7700 (479) 575-8257 (Fax) accessfayetteville.org City Council Water & Sewer Meeting Minutes June 12, 2007 Page 11 of 11 Alderman Cook suggested that the scheduling of those would have some affect on how the rates are affected. He said the 36 inch water line is a high priority, but we will be going for a revenue bond on that. David Jurgens agreed and said the rates would have to support the revenue bond. That's where the rates are being driven on that. He said he thinks they brought it up to a steady level of capital funding in the next few years in order to be able to maintain a consistent level of capital project funding. Alderman Ferrell suggested that to fund the revenue project we are going to have to put inflation adjustments so there will probably be several increments involved. David Jurgens said we will have to see how it breaks out. We will probably have a couple of choices about how to do the increase. 6. 24" Water Line — Custer and Morningside David Jurgens said the portion of this project on Custer Lane has been completed. It was a very challenging job and we did it in a new way. We took a pressurized polyethylene pipe and put it inside the existing 24" line because it was much more expensive to dig it up and put in a brand new 24" line. They are now moving over to the Morningside Drive portion of the project. 8. Water and Sewer Account Physical Audit David Jurgens said this item has already been covered. The audit is going to take a long time. It involves months and months worth of work. When we find customers who are paying sewer that shouldn't be we will tell them and, as we have done in the past, we will reimburse them. On the flip side, we will find some that should have hooked up to sewer who haven't. We're just going to try to make sure that every house that should have an account does have one and visa versa. 9. 36" Water Transmission Main Rehabilitation David Jurgens said the surge tank is in service. Work is underway on the transmission mains. However he issued a stop work notice on Friday on shutting down the mains because we are getting too close to summer. They will have to defer all work on the big mains (where they have to be shut down) until the fall because we don't want to take the chance of not having one of the big transmission mains during dry or high demand period. The contractor was happy we did that because they were also nervous. 10. Scheduling the Next Water/Sewer Committee Meeting The next Water & Sewer Committee meeting was scheduled for July 10, 2007 directly after the Council Agenda Session. A special Water & Sewer Committee meeting was also scheduled for July 26, 2007 at 4:30 p.m. to discuss the Water & Sewer Rate Study. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. 113 West Mountain 72701 (479) 521-7700 (479) 575-8257 (Fax) accessfayetteville.org
