I appreciate Todd 00:00:40.908 --> 00:00:44.190 Staples for inviting me, and it was great to see 00:00:45.215 --> 00:00:48.307 Senator Kelly Hancock and the leadership from 00:00:48.332 --> 00:00:51.197 the local community there kind of learning 00:00:51.222 --> 00:00:54.465 more about kind of what's going on in that area 00:00:54.490 --> 00:00:57.573 in the oil and oas production activities that 00:00:57.598 --> 00:01:00.558 are ongoing. Also, went to San Antonio with 00:01:00.583 --> 00:01:03.586 our own Jesse Milanovic, our senior engineer 00:01:03.611 --> 00:01:06.780 on TWDB team number five, to conduct the final 00:01:06.805 --> 00:01:09.949 inspection for the San Antonio River Authority 00:01:09.973 --> 00:01:15.544 Martinez IV Wastewater Treatment Plant Project. I appreciate General Manager Susan 00:01:15.569 --> 00:01:18.678 Scott for her leadership and for her team for 00:01:18.703 --> 00:01:21.585 supporting this project. This was a design 00:01:21.610 --> 00:01:24.707 build. It serves a developing area in Eastern 00:01:24.732 --> 00:01:27.939 Bayer County. Initial capacity right at 250,000 00:01:27.964 --> 00:01:33.765 gallons a day, with the capacity to kind of reach up to their final permitted flow of 00:01:33.790 --> 00:01:36.880 2,000,000 gallons a day. Kind of an important 00:01:36.906 --> 00:01:39.904 project and kind of looking across Texas and 00:01:39.929 --> 00:01:43.170 wastewater treatment, and what's out there for, 00:01:43.195 --> 00:01:46.209 particularly, these areas that are emerging, 00:01:46.234 --> 00:01:49.193 that have substantial growth, and how to be 00:01:49.219 --> 00:01:52.422 able to go out there and provide something that 00:01:52.447 --> 00:01:55.614 is not only capable of providing the treatment 00:01:55.639 --> 00:01:58.781 they need, but also can do it in a very energy 00:01:58.807 --> 00:02:01.760 efficient way. And this particular process, 00:02:01.785 --> 00:02:04.847 which was kind of championed by this project, 00:02:04.872 --> 00:02:08.115 combines an activated sludge system and the fix 00:02:08.140 --> 00:02:11.088 film for a biological treatment system that 00:02:11.113 --> 00:02:14.141 requires very low power input. The amount of 00:02:14.167 --> 00:02:17.305 the aeration can be controlled by using varial 00:02:17.329 --> 00:02:20.296 speed rotors, and so the faster, the slower 00:02:20.321 --> 00:02:23.533 they move is based on the actual oxygen demand. 00:02:23.558 --> 00:02:26.715 So emerging technology in wastewater treatment 00:02:26.740 --> 00:02:29.872 and great to see the work that the San Antonio 00:02:29.897 --> 00:02:32.799 River Authority has done in promoting this 00:02:32.824 --> 00:02:36.241 technology and the partners that were working with 00:02:36.267 --> 00:02:39.359 them. And they were recognized for this work. 00:02:39.384 --> 00:02:42.317 They're the very first wastewater treatment 00:02:42.342 --> 00:02:48.068 plant in Texas to receive the Silver Envision award for the Institute of Sustainable 00:02:48.092 --> 00:02:51.245 Infrastructure. So really an exciting project, 00:02:51.270 --> 00:02:54.398 and I think something that will see more of as 00:02:54.424 --> 00:02:57.531 as we see communities utilize this technology 00:02:57.556 --> 00:03:00.840 throughout Texas.I also spoke to the Texas Rural 00:03:00.865 --> 00:03:03.959 Water Association's Emerging Leaders Program. 00:03:03.983 --> 00:03:06.917 Great to hear their thoughts and ideas from 00:03:06.943 --> 00:03:10.043 rural leaders in the field who were in Austin 00:03:10.068 --> 00:03:13.211 participating in this training. And then, last 00:03:13.236 --> 00:03:16.256 week, I spoke at the 10th annual Texas Rural 00:03:16.281 --> 00:03:19.209 Challenge in New Braunfels, and their theme 00:03:19.234 --> 00:03:22.270 was Cultivate, Innovate, and Collaborate. So 00:03:22.295 --> 00:03:25.441 enjoyed the discussions there and ways that we 00:03:25.466 --> 00:03:28.557 can grow rural communities. John Meyer and I, 00:03:28.582 --> 00:03:31.715 with Water Science and Conservation, presented 00:03:31.740 --> 00:03:37.463 at the Texoga Water Committee meeting and provided a status report on our brack zone 00:03:37.488 --> 00:03:40.640 designation so far. And our upcoming work with 00:03:40.665 --> 00:03:43.859 legislation that just passed this past session. 00:03:45.559 --> 00:03:48.089 Outstanding as always. Director Paup? 00:03:48.613 --> 00:03:51.613 You are busy, busy, busy.

I also met with the OAG to discuss pending litigation. 00:04:07.494 --> 00:04:11.388 And this past Saturday, I attended the agency's annual picnic. 00:04:11.413 --> 00:04:15.158 It was fabulous, and just tons of thanks to all the staffers 00:04:15.182 --> 00:04:19.001 that made it possible. Obviously, Henry had a wonderful time. 00:04:19.026 --> 00:04:22.450 He was flossing his little heart out, so great. Thanks. 00:04:22.474 --> 00:04:24.774 He was also pretty handy with a water gun. 00:04:24.798 --> 00:04:27.319 Yes, he was.

The county's 00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:11.921 water utility serves 241 customers with 100 and 20 water connections within the town 00:10:11.945 --> 00:10:14.595 of Gail. The county's utility does not provide 00:10:14.620 --> 00:10:17.189 wastewater service's and fun fact. The county 00:10:17.214 --> 00:10:19.627 is also the birthplace of Gail Borden, the 00:10:19.651 --> 00:10:22.263 inventor of condensed milk. The county's water 00:10:22.288 --> 00:10:24.819 supply exceeds maximum contaminant levels of 00:10:24.844 --> 00:10:27.294 arsenic and Florida and is under compliance 00:10:27.319 --> 00:10:32.243 order with the Environmental Protection Agency. To address these violations, the county 00:10:32.268 --> 00:10:34.974 proposes to install in arsenic and fluoride ion 00:10:34.999 --> 00:10:37.398 exchange treatment system to address these 00:10:37.423 --> 00:10:40.116 water quality issues. Pilot testing has already 00:10:40.141 --> 00:10:42.472 been completed in the Texas Commission on 00:10:42.497 --> 00:10:47.445 Environmental Quiet. Quality has approved. The proposed treatment is, um, the county is 00:10:47.470 --> 00:10:50.100 requesting $1,985,000 in financial assistance, 00:10:50.125 --> 00:10:52.506 consisting of $1,285,000 financing at a 0% 00:10:52.531 --> 00:10:54.786 interest rate, and 700,000 in principal 00:10:54.811 --> 00:10:57.548 forgiveness as a very small system and an urgent 00:10:57.573 --> 00:11:00.265 need fund project from the Drinking Water State 00:11:00.290 --> 00:11:02.621 Revolving Fund program for the design and 00:11:02.646 --> 00:11:05.464 construction phases of the project. The executive 00:11:05.489 --> 00:11:12.816 administrator recommends approval of this request. I'm happy to answer any questions. 00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:14.740 Thank you, Lee. Questions, comments? 00:11:14.764 --> 00:11:17.970 Certainly, an important project 00:11:17.995 --> 00:11:21.114 because it addresses water quality, and certainly, 00:11:21.140 --> 00:11:24.210 the concern for arsenic and fluoride is something 00:11:24.235 --> 00:11:27.034 that really warrants this type of investment. 00:11:27.058 --> 00:11:30.134 And I guess, another kind of interesting point is 00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:33.210 that the champion for the project and the sponsor 00:11:33.236 --> 00:11:36.054 is the county, and so, you know, not only can 00:11:36.079 --> 00:11:39.179 cities and water supply corporations and municipal 00:11:39.205 --> 00:11:42.411 water districts, but also counties can kind of take 00:11:42.436 --> 00:11:45.370 this on and, you know, great that they're doing 00:11:45.395 --> 00:11:48.465 this and that you're able to kind of put together 00:11:48.490 --> 00:11:51.535 that funding package that makes it affordable. So 00:11:51.560 --> 00:11:54.642 the 0% interest financing and then the very small 00:11:54.667 --> 00:11:57.724 systems and then the ability to get the principal 00:11:57.750 --> 00:12:00.832 forgiveness in combination with the 0% financing. 00:12:00.857 --> 00:12:03.876 So thanks for working on this important project. 00:12:03.900 --> 00:12:05.000 Director Paup? 00:12:06.024 --> 00:12:08.580 It's a first time applicant, so we 00:12:08.605 --> 00:12:11.234 always love to have them coming to the board.

Is their a motion? 00:12:14.019 --> 00:12:17.336 Chairman, I move we adopt the proposed resolution 00:12:17.361 --> 00:12:20.606 providing Borden County with financing from the Drinking Water State 00:12:20.631 --> 00:12:23.970 Revolving Fund for the design and construction of an urgent need water 00:12:23.995 --> 00:12:27.098 treatment project, as recommended by our Executive Administrator. 00:12:27.122 --> 00:12:28.349 Is there a second? I second. 00:12:28.373 --> 00:12:33.073 All in favor say aye. Motion passes. Next item, please. Thanks, Lee. 00:12:33.097 --> 00:12:38.211 Consider approving a request from the City of Cleburne for 00:12:38.236 --> 00:12:42.989 financial assistance from the Clean Water State Revolving Fund for the 00:12:43.014 --> 00:12:47.981 planning, acquisition, design, and construction of a wastewater treatment 00:12:48.006 --> 00:12:52.747 plant expansion and reuse improvements project, authorization to amend 00:12:52.772 --> 00:12:57.752 the Series 2009B and Series 2013B bonds to redefine the project, a waiver 00:12:57.777 --> 00:13:02.597 of the requirement to include funds to mitigate water loss as a part of 00:13:02.622 --> 00:13:07.668 this project, and authorization to transfer the unspent bond proceeds from 00:13:07.693 --> 00:13:12.469 Project 21641 to Project 73821. Caaren Skrobarcyzk is here to present. 00:13:13.470 --> 00:13:19.298 Morning, Chairman Lake, Director Jackson, Director Paup. 00:13:19.323 --> 00:13:24.609 For the record, I'm Caaren Skrobarcyzk of the Executive Administrator’s 00:13:24.634 --> 00:13:30.006 staff. The city of Cleburne is located in Johnson County, about 30 miles 00:13:30.032 --> 00:13:34.938 south of the city of Fort Worth. They provide water and wastewater 00:13:34.962 --> 00:13:40.709 service to approximately 34,000 residents. The city is requesting $42,000,000 00:13:40.734 --> 00:13:45.793 from the Clean Water State Revolving Fund for planning, acquisition, 00:13:45.819 --> 00:13:50.964 design and construction of a wastewater treatment improvement project 00:13:50.989 --> 00:13:55.962 as well as a reuse improvement. The project will mitigate projected 00:13:55.987 --> 00:14:01.074 water supply shortages that are in the State Water Plan. The project 00:14:01.099 --> 00:14:06.235 will increase the waste water treatment facility to provide 4,000,000 00:14:06.260 --> 00:14:11.408 gallons per day of high quality, reclaimed effluent for both indirect 00:14:11.433 --> 00:14:16.556 potable reuse and direct non-potable reuse. The project also includes 00:14:16.582 --> 00:14:21.958 construction of a pump station and a pipeline to convey the high quality 00:14:21.983 --> 00:14:27.113 reuse supply to the permitted outfall at Lake Pat Cleburne. The reuse 00:14:27.137 --> 00:14:32.721 component of the project qualifies for $1,000,000 and principal forgiveness 00:14:32.746 --> 00:14:38.011 as the green component. The city received two water infrastructure fund 00:14:38.036 --> 00:14:43.417 commitments from the Board in December of 2008 and 2013 for planning and 00:14:43.442 --> 00:14:48.503 design of the Lake Whitney Water Supply Project which, at that time, 00:14:48.527 --> 00:14:53.968 was a recommended water management strategy. After the bonds were issued, 00:14:53.993 --> 00:14:58.968 the City Council determined that completion of that project was not 00:14:58.993 --> 00:15:04.294 in the best interest of the city, and the city worked with the regional 00:15:04.319 --> 00:15:09.226 water planning group and amended the state water plan, amended the 00:15:09.251 --> 00:15:14.907 strategy, and identified the reuse project as a recommended water management 00:15:14.932 --> 00:15:20.048 strategy in the 2017 State Water Plan. Collectively, both series have 00:15:20.073 --> 00:15:25.748 approximately $5,000,000 in unspent bond proceeds and in the escrow account, 00:15:25.773 --> 00:15:30.760 and the city is requesting to repurpose those unspent bond proceeds 00:15:30.785 --> 00:15:35.858 to the proposed project. This would require an amendment to the bond 00:15:35.883 --> 00:15:41.226 orders and redefining the project and will also require authorization to 00:15:41.251 --> 00:15:46.484 transfer those funds from the Lake Whitney Project to this waste reuse 00:15:46.509 --> 00:15:52.159 project. Mark Evans is here in support of the project, and this concludes my 00:15:52.184 --> 00:15:57.858 presentation. The EA recommends approval of the financial assistance request 00:15:57.883 --> 00:16:03.041 and the authorization to amend the bond order and transfer the funds. 00:16:03.065 --> 00:16:05.465 Thank you. Questions or comments? 00:16:05.489 --> 00:16:09.061 Well, I think it's a great example of 00:16:09.086 --> 00:16:12.756 our regional water planning process and how communities can 00:16:12.781 --> 00:16:16.525 work through the regional water planning process and develop 00:16:16.550 --> 00:16:20.208 a recommended strategy. And then, it's kind of an evergreen 00:16:20.233 --> 00:16:24.229 document. And so, as new thoughts and ideas and new technologies 00:16:24.254 --> 00:16:27.487 come about or things change, that they can go in and 00:16:27.513 --> 00:16:30.821 kind of amend, as they did, the State Water Plan, the 00:16:30.846 --> 00:16:34.435 Regional Water Plan, and the State Water Plan, and in this 00:16:34.460 --> 00:16:38.083 particular case, provide for reuse which we know is a very 00:16:38.108 --> 00:16:41.644 good strategy moving forward in terms of providing future 00:16:41.669 --> 00:16:45.157 water supply, and in this particular case, they have the 00:16:45.182 --> 00:16:48.767 1, 2 punch because it's not only an indirect potable reuse 00:16:48.792 --> 00:16:52.715 project but also a direct potable reuse project. Or an indirect 00:16:52.740 --> 00:16:56.086 reuse project and then a direct potable reuse project. 00:16:56.111 --> 00:16:59.837 So great to see this project's moving forward and appreciate 00:16:59.862 --> 00:17:03.319 the work of their team in kind of pulling this together. 00:17:04.743 --> 00:17:05.943 Director Paup? 00:17:05.967 --> 00:17:10.256 A lot of work went into making this project a reality. 00:17:10.281 --> 00:17:14.391 I know it was, administratively, very trying, so thank you very much. 00:17:15.815 --> 00:17:17.515 Great project. Is there a motion? 00:17:17.539 --> 00:17:23.131 Mr. Chairman, I move we adopt the proposed resolution providing 00:17:23.156 --> 00:17:27.964 the city of Cleburne with financial assistance from Clean Water State 00:17:27.989 --> 00:17:33.293 Revolving Fund for planning, acquisition, design and construction of a waste 00:17:33.318 --> 00:17:38.666 water treatment plant expansion and reuse improvements project, authorization 00:17:38.690 --> 00:17:43.988 to amend the Series 2009B and Series 2013B to redefine the project, a waiver 00:17:44.013 --> 00:17:49.080 of the requirment to include funds to mitigate water loss as part of this 00:17:49.105 --> 00:17:54.471 project, and authorization to transfer the unspent bond proceeds from Project 00:17:54.496 --> 00:17:59.311 21641 to Project 73821 as recommended by our Executive Administrator. 00:17:59.669 --> 00:18:01.011 Is there a second? I second. 00:18:01.035 --> 00:18:04.535 All in favor say aye. Motion passes. Next item, please. 00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:08.882 The next item will be tabled to a later agenda. That 00:18:08.907 --> 00:18:12.896 will bring us to agenda items 7 and 8 to be considered together. 00:18:12.922 --> 00:18:16.250 Consider approving a request from the City of Kerrville for 00:18:16.275 --> 00:18:19.467 financial assistance from the Clean Water State Revolving 00:18:19.491 --> 00:18:22.584 Fund for planning, acquisition, design and construction 00:18:22.609 --> 00:18:25.622 of a disaster recovery project, and consider approving 00:18:25.647 --> 00:18:28.475 a request from the City of Kerrville for financial 00:18:28.500 --> 00:18:31.802 assistance from the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund for 00:18:31.827 --> 00:18:34.699 planning, acquisition, design and construction of a 00:18:34.724 --> 00:18:37.958 disaster recovery project. Dain Larsen is here to present. 00:18:38.782 --> 00:18:39.482 Morning, Dain. 00:18:39.506 --> 00:18:43.638 Good morning, Chairman Lake, Director Jackson, 00:18:43.663 --> 00:18:47.904 Director Paup. For the record, I'm Dain Larsen of the Executive 00:18:47.929 --> 00:18:52.049 Administrator’s staff. In October of 2018, flooding along the 00:18:52.074 --> 00:18:56.568 Guadalupe River in the city of Kerrville, which is located about 65 00:18:56.594 --> 00:19:01.053 miles northwest of San Antonio, damaged and cause complete failure 00:19:01.078 --> 00:19:05.379 of two wastewater reuse and water lines, along with unassociated 00:19:05.404 --> 00:19:09.584 steel bridge frame assembly. Floodwater separated bridge frame 00:19:09.609 --> 00:19:13.764 sections from their supporting concrete piers and carried them 00:19:13.790 --> 00:19:18.380 downstream. The City of Kerrville requests funding from the Drinking 00:19:18.405 --> 00:19:22.438 Water and Clean Water State Revolving Funds Emergency Relief 00:19:22.463 --> 00:19:26.575 Programs. The city proposes to fund planning, acquisition and 00:19:26.600 --> 00:19:30.886 design for the replacement of the water and two wastewater reuse 00:19:30.910 --> 00:19:35.167 lines. And they would like reimbursement for the removal of the 00:19:35.192 --> 00:19:39.491 debris caused by the flooding event. The Executive Administrator 00:19:39.516 --> 00:19:43.573 recommends approval of the city's request. This concludes my 00:19:43.598 --> 00:19:48.186 presentation, and I'm available for any questions that you may have. 00:19:48.910 --> 00:19:50.810 Thanks, Dain. Questions, comments? 00:19:50.834 --> 00:19:55.900 Well, an important project, and I think, again, a credit to 00:19:55.925 --> 00:20:00.776 the staff in putting together something that can kind of address urgent need 00:20:00.801 --> 00:20:05.791 and emergency relief following a disaster. And in this particular case, it was 00:20:05.816 --> 00:20:10.591 the October 2018 flooding that occurred along the Guadalupe River. So, very 00:20:10.616 --> 00:20:15.413 important that we remove the lines that are the reuse, the wastewater reuse 00:20:15.438 --> 00:20:20.336 line, and then also the drinking water line and get those back in service. So 00:20:20.361 --> 00:20:25.220 good to see that we're using these funds to help these communities to remove 00:20:25.245 --> 00:20:30.230 the water lines, and then, also, to get them back in service. I appreciate it. 00:20:30.754 --> 00:20:33.864 Director Paup? Great project. Appreciate 00:20:33.889 --> 00:20:36.354 all the staff work on this. Is there a motion? 00:20:36.378 --> 00:20:38.947 Mr. Chairman, I move we adopt the 00:20:38.972 --> 00:20:41.869 proposed resolutions providing the City of Kerrville with 00:20:41.894 --> 00:20:44.802 financial assistance from the Clean Water State Revolving 00:20:44.827 --> 00:20:47.158 Fund for the planning, acquisition, design and 00:20:47.183 --> 00:20:49.840 construction of a disaster recovery project and from 00:20:49.865 --> 00:20:52.497 the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund for planning 00:20:52.523 --> 00:20:55.481 acquisition design and construction of a disaster recovery 00:20:55.506 --> 00:20:58.262 project as recommended by our Executive Administrator. 00:20:58.290 --> 00:20:59.580 Is there a second?
