Item number nine, discussion of possible action regarding a contract with AMI. Mayor and council, uh we're bringing this item to you this evening for recommendation to award the AMI contract. Uh today we have Chad Nobles here of Amaresco to give a brief presentation of it and we'll also be able to answer any questions that you may have. So I'm gonna hand it over to Chad. Hey, mayor. Appreciate you guys. I just want to say it's been mic. Sorry, didn't didn't catch up. Sorry. I uh Is that better for everybody? That's perfect.

So um my name is Chad Nobles. I just live down the road in Magnolia, but uh it's good. I would say it's been a pleasure working with your staff here. They've been super helpful with providing us data, um, getting us access to the meters and different things that we wanted to look at throughout the process. So, it's been a been pleasure. You got a great staff here. So, and you got a good new hire over there, too. So, um, with that, I want to kind of start through and kind of talk about when we first met with staff. Um, there were several challenges that they brought up. Um, and feel free to ask questions as we go through this if you need to. Several things that were going on. Um, one, they had some meters that were failing. Some were past their useful life. A lot of the things that were failing were the actual radios that were on them, the old radios that were there. Um, the particular manufacturer wasn't giving them the support that they were really needing for that process as well. There was obviously some inefficiencies in that, having to go back and do a lot of rereads, actually trying to repair, you know, roll extra trucks for times that you really shouldn't have been rolling trucks, um, and just different things. So the system that you had is kind of at a point where it had to something had to be done to it. Um and they've been trying to do it I know for a couple years because they've been struggling with these failures for a while and it's really at a point where the pain is just too much at this point. So when we talk about AMI it's called advanced metering infrastructure and the difference from where you're at today from where you're going is getting more data. So with this you're going to get actually hourly incremental data that's going to come in. It's going to have huge benefits not only to your staff but also to your citizens. When you look at this new process or this new technology that's out there, and it's not new. This technology has been around 15 plus years. It's just we see a lot more uh people adapting this technology today than what they have in the past. Um from an operational standpoint, you're going to be able to um see data. Um they're going to have this data coming in on a daily basis at their fingertips. That same data is going to be communicated to

your citizens. So, you're going to be able to actually see when you irrigate. You'll be able to know how much water you actually used when you actually run your irrigation system. It'll actually proactively give you alerts, things like continuous consumption, meaning, do I have a leaky toilet? Um, did I leave the water hose on? You know, all of a sudden now we've got several hours of data. You would never have known that unless it actually happened and you get this big bill the following month. It's going to help staff tremendously respond to your citizens and businesses a lot faster because now they're going to actually have data and they'll actually be able to answer the question, there's no way I use that much water, right? They're actually going to be able to see the data, kind of work with the customer and basically say, look, here's what your meter is telling us when you're using water, how much you're using water, and what that looks like. So, there's just a lot of benefits to that from engineering and operations standpoint. they'll be able to actually start to monitor pressures in the field. Um, get a handle on that because we've actually got some pressure sensors that we're going to scatter out throughout the city to kind of understand what the pressures are doing on the lines. Um, they'll be able to proactively see kind of where data is coming in from water and where the consumption is being used. So, it's just a lot more granularity when it comes to these systems. The end goal that the staff really wanted to do was provide better customer service, better transparency to the citizens in business. And that's really the huge benefit that AMI gets. It's a it's hard to put a dollar value on that value when you can basically be able to show a customer how they're using water in a proactively in a proactive manner. You just get a much better customer service rating when you do that. And that's really the goal here is to have them understand and see that data in a very transparent manner that right now they just can't get from the system that they have. So how did we get involved? How did this timeline come about? We started back in January where you approved a project development agreement

with us. Uh we had several meetings with staff where we talked about their goals, what the challenges were, um different things that they were needing to actually address as part of this project. Um, we then from January to basically about March, we conducted we put boots on the ground. We went and actually surveyed a bunch of meters. We looked at a lot of your meter boxes trying to create an accurate scope of work that we could actually then put out and actually get bids on so that we knew exactly what was going on. Um, we then held multiple workshops with staff, kind of gave them a broad picture of all the different manufacturers that are out there. I work for a company called Amoresco. We don't manufacture any of these meters. We've put just about every brand out there in the ground. I think one of you asked me earlier, how many systems have we done? Our team's probably done over a hundred just in Texas alone. So, we've had quite a few years of experience. I've been personally doing this for about 25 years now, just kind of these type of projects. So, we then actually the staff kind of narrowed those vendors down. We brought back in a couple and actually did, you know, multiple hour type presentations where we looked at software. We got to touch and feel products. They got to ask questions and really evaluate that. And then we also gathered pricing for those and then they ranked them and basically put a best value. And that's what they're bringing to you today is that system that they want to actually move forward with. Um, moving forward, we then did, and I'll talk you about, I want to kind of take you through a brief couple of pictures here, uh, on the screen. So, we, as I mentioned, we did some boots on the ground. And one of the things we did is we like to look in the residential areas to understand the condition of your meter boxes. Um, because obviously those cost money. And while you're out changing the meter, it's a prime time to actually fix that meter box and lids and different things of that nature. You can see on the screen, you got quite a few different sizes out there. We did find quite a few broken boxes, some lids. I'll kind of take you through some of these pictures. You can see here a lot of your meters we found are buried. It's been quite a while since they've

actually been changed out, so they were full of mud. Um, lot of different lids missing the actual reader lids that were on there. Uh, you can see the picture on the right actually has an old endpoint. You can see one of them is actually looks a lot better than the other one. It's already been broken and vandalized a little bit. And so these were some of the challenges that you actually have in the field. Again, some of your meters are in two per box, which makes for for a tight connection. Um, but obviously we we had to take that into consideration when we were evaluating different meter manufacturers. Would they actually fit inside those boxes that you actually had? And you can see some of the box conditions on the far right corner where they've actually completely crushed in. Um, here are just a couple other ones. Um, almost all the boxes that we saw were full of mud. So, obviously, we have to take that into consideration when we go to change it out. You got to clean that box out to be able to get to those meter couplings and different things of that nature. When you move up into the intermediate meters, and these we consider 2 in uh an inch and a half, inch and a half and two inch in size, similar situations. We did find a small percentage of them that were actually in what we would consider concrete uh asphalt type conditions. Um some of those were actually missing reader lids as well, which is a safety hazard. So, we want to obviously fix and replace that lid when we go actually and change it. Um, but otherwise you did have some boxes like the bottom right that are in good condition. There's nothing that needs to be done those. We'll change out the meter and move on to the next one. Here are some other pictures. The interesting one in the middle is some, you know, we're going to obviously have to dig that box up to change that one because the meter coupling's outside the box in that one. We're probably going to end up actually installing a larger box for the future so that you know staff coming back if they ever have to work on it, they'll actually have a way to get into there. And then finally, we on the large meters. These are 3 in meter and you guys have a decent chunk of these meters in this town because of the commercial businesses that you have. We like to put eyes on every single one of these. And the reason we like to put on eyes on every single one of these is because

they actually are a lot costlier than the residential ones. And so if you make a mistake here, you you've made a costly mistake, you know, from that aspect. So we really wanted to do our due diligent there. As part of that, we go through an evaluation and look for right typing, right sizing, kind of looking at different ways of what is the vault condition of that meter. Is it in good shape or not? Um, is it an application where um you've got a hospital, for instance, that may not have an actual bypass. So, that was one of the things that staff brought to our attention is, hey, when you're out there, if we've got a meter that doesn't have a bypass, meaning the ability to if I need to work on that meter, I want to be able to run bypass water around so that I don't shut that critical facility down. And we came across four locations that staff after evaluating all these, we shared all our survey results with them. They said, "Hey, we really want you to install bypasses on those." And so, um, these are the four locations. Obviously with the city complex, you guys use that as a critical facility for your operations um and emergency centers. So, we wanted a bypass here in case we ever had something go wrong with the meter and we needed to replace it, they could actually have water. There's a hotel um as well as a hospital and then a medical complex. And so with those conditions, we had enough space in that vault where we're going to actually install a bypass, cut that in when we're actually replacing the meter. There was one location that had a safety issue related to the vault really and just it needed to be repaired. It had some crumbling and that was at the medical plaza um address. It's another hospital medical facility over there. So when we replace that, we're actually going to replace the entire concrete vault as well. So we're going to basically dig out the old vault, drop a new vault with all the new piping and a bypass along with that meter in that process. So what does the scope of work look like? your staff has decided to choose um and it's a great recommendation to use a cellular AMI technology. So in essence, you have a water meter in the

ground. It will have a inpoint or a radio on it. It is a cellular radio. It is different cellular than your actual cell phones that we all have. It uses a LTE configuration which is more of a machine to machine. So yes, we all have issues with cell phones coverage when we're talking on the phone. These are quite different. So, we've had systems where a storm comes through, you can't hear your cell phone, but our AMI system never or this particular manufacturers AMI system never locked transmission. And so, we get good trans. We did do a propagation study. We've got great coverage here in this area. Um, so we don't see any issues with those meters not being able to pick up in red. But that signal sends up to the existing cell tower. So, there's no maintenance associated for your staff to maintain a network. That network is actually owned and operated by AT&T or Verizon. They're going to keep it up. That's usually the first thing that comes back up as well. That information gets sent over to an actual cloud from the cloud. It actually, and I see one of my graphics didn't show up, it looks like, but it goes into your billing software. I looked over there. I was like, where that computer's missing? So, it goes into the cloud that is actually into your billing software. Your billing software then has the ability to generate a bill or it's actually going to send data additionally to a customer portal. So this is the transparency that I was talking about where your citizens are actually going to get to see their data. So they'll have a login. They can look at on their phone. They can look at it on a computer, be able to see alarms, leaks, continuous consumption type information, data, charts, how it applies to rainfall, how they're using water. Lots of information is going to be at their fingertips so that they can make decisions about whether they want to conserve water, use more water. If you've got a fixed income person and he's concerned about, hey, I know that this is the amount of water I have before I hit a different billing threshold, he can monitor that and actually set in self alerts uh alerts as well to figure out those trends. So, the scope of work big picture is it's basically replacing about 1,700 meters. There were some that your staff

had recently replaced. We're going to be able to retrofit those and actually just put a radio on them. So, we're protecting the investment that's in the ground there. Um, we will handle on-site construction managers. So, we will have a full-time on-site construction manager that will be on site. These are individuals that actually have grown up in the industry changing out meters themselves. So, they know what the problems are. So, it's not going to burden staff for that. Additionally, we have a data integration person. This is a data project. This is a project that touches every citizen, every business in this town. So, we got to make sure we protect that data and that's what we have to be most focused on. So we have a assign a data person who's really involved in monitoring that data, doing QC on it. We have a field QC, we've got a data QC, we've got even an AI QC now that we're actually using for the processes because we take about 10 to 12 pictures with every install to basically protect you as well as us to make sure, hey, we did it right in this entire process. any meter boxes, lids that are structurally damaged for those meters 2 in and uh below are included in this process. So, we will replace those. We're not going to come back and give you extra change orders. We've done our field work and our due diligence to avoid those change orders. That's what we've got included in there. We're taking on the risk if it's more than what we actually estimated. We're hoping that we surveyed enough of town to figure out what that actually is and included as part of this process. Same thing goes for the shut off valve or what we call a curb stop. So, we know that we obviously check some of them. We look at the history, look at some of the conditions of them, and we actually take into account what we feel like we're going to break when we get there because let's face it, some of those old valves are going to break when we go to change these meters. And that's all included as part of this process. Um again the the locations with the new bypasses that you have I think there were four and then the new vault is also included in this uh including the portal software all those data integrations. So the only thing that staff's going to have to do and we've talked to them a lot about

this is we will actually change out the meters. We'll collect all the data with our work order management system. They'll have access to seeing all of this stuff real time. Once a week we typically will ask them to push and upload a file. So they'll upload that file. It'll spit out. If everything's correct, we move on. Now, they can build directly off of that. If not, if it spits out any errors, they give it back to us. We go address those actually in the field. So, the financials on this project, this project is roughly for us a $2 million project. There is, you have a integration fee from your utility billing provider, your current Tyler Tech Encode. they charge roughly uh $7,000 worth of fees that they will build directly to you for the integration of the AMI file. Um and so your capital first initial cost is roughly 2,ion40,648 to get this project actually fully executed and implemented. You will have ongoing fees uh associated with those software as a service that everything as I mentioned is in the cloud. That includes all the back hall sailor information from the endpoints and the radios as well as the software licensing for both the portal as well as the actual front-end software that staff is going to be using you know to monitor and man and uh manage the system. Okay.

A question on the ongoing fees. Uh is there a time period where how how are those locked in or do when do they change? So those fees typically from this particular meter manufacturer, they're not locked in like I mean just like most things are not locked in. But on this manufacturer, I will say historically we have seen about a 1% increase in those fees over the life of the project. This system here has a 20-year pr-rated warranty. So you have 10 years of full warranty and 10 years of pro prrated warranty on all your endpoints. So all of your cellular endpoints have that warranty. Your residential meters, your smaller meters have a 20-year accuracy warranty as well because these are solid state meters. There are no moving parts in these meters that the staff wanted to use, which is a great decision. Get away from the mechanical meters that basically had a warranty that was tied to volume of water that was through it. These have no volume warranty or and they have a 20-year accuracy warranty. Um to your point I would say that um we see typical manufacturers go anywhere from 1 to 5%. This particular manufacturer has always been typically about 1% on those fees.

Change occurs at what time period? Annually. Annually. Yes sir. So we did um had conversations with Miss Wner in regards to what a life cycle cost of the system looked at. And that was one of the things that staff took into consideration. We ran a 20-year model for all the different manufacturers that we looked at and kind of forecasted that out. And that obviously comes into play when you have some and I think these guys gave us about a 1%. That's typically what we see uh on these. They may have locked it in for two years actually on the first. Yeah, I believe so. Um on the on a two-year lock on these, but I'd have to go back and check on what they proposed. Okay. Good question. No,

the only other ongoing fee you have is the actual again your your CIS, your utility billing software. they charge an annual fee of roughly $750 to make sure that the all the data if this manufacturer changes data they want to be able to make that change on their end too because they're constantly talking to each other. Um the source of truth will always be your billing file which is with your CIS. But again, they've got to talk to each other on a basically on a monthly basis for sure to get the bill out. From a project standpoint, if you're considered and and we would love for you to move forward with the project, we would basically get a contract signed. will order all material. We anticipate material being here probably by June, July at the latest, we think is what we're being told. They were actually hitting some good deadlines. We would then take care of integration and software. It takes us a little bit of time to get all the data and swap files set up along with our work order management system. But looking at uh installation starting in August, we expect a 3 to four month complete install. So we should be up and running and fully installed before the end of this year. for this system. So, at that point, that was my I tried to run through it as quick as I could, but I uh sorry for talking so fast, but please ask many questions. I know Rall and myself are ready to answer anything you have. So,

how will this system integrate with what we're doing in Tamina? So, good question. Do you want to um we've given the specs to the um plumbing company of the meters that we will be using in our field to put in there as well. They'll work with the system. So Tamina will be on the same system and it was part of the change order that we had with the plumber over there and we worked very closely together with lots of questions trying to make sure that we got the right specifications for that particular contract to be able to work make sure that they knew what they needed to put in to make sure that it worked with the system. Good question. And that of course is going to be paid by the the uh federal funding.

Yes. Well, yeah, those meters will be put in before the system starts, right? So, going forward, you talked a little bit about accuracy of the old meters and the accuracy of the new meters. Okay. So that tells me there's an unintended consequence out there to the public that they're going to look at having a meter that was running at 75% accuracy and now they got one that's 99% accuracy and uh the evil city has raised their water bill. Okay. I mean I just want that's what it seems to them. Everybody's conscious right now. So,

are we going to educate staff and everyone on how to handle this situation and not a good question? No, it's a great question and it always comes up when we do a meter project. Um, I just want them to be aware of

Absolutely. and you bring a good point. So one of the things that we also provide to staff with this as part of this project is a public engagement, a public outreach basically to let them know why you and your city are doing this for the operational efficiencies, for the things of cost savings long term, for the transparency of the data, the integrity of the data. So we let them know that all that as far as an qua could that happen? Absolutely it could. like we do and we anticipate that there will be some meters out there that are reading inaccurately. I will say historically what I've seen on residential meters it's not down at the 75% level. on commercial meters there's a chance always for

absolutely um I just wanted to clarify that so that people don't get you know good point but there are I will say most of the time it is such incremental on that it may be your current meter may be reading 92% and you go to 98 and a half to 100% now you probably you may notice it if you use a whole lot of water that 5 6% makes a big difference if you're an average 3,000 a month 4,000 a you know, 4,000 gallons, you know, um, a month basically user, you're probably not going to notice it that much, but is a very good point to bring up and we have definitely covered that when when you talk about fixed income folks, it's noticed.

It is. It absolutely is. And so, you know, you know, to with Charlie, I think also is that, you know, there's you have people that like you're saying definitely it's it's not any it's non-issue and but we always think about a lot of decisions that we make or really all all decisions we make take our fixed income uh residents into to play. And you know if if for instance you know a meter is reading a plus or minus 10% or 10 you know off uh to going to uh one that's extremely accurate and not going to miss it. Uh you know that can be construed as you know my bill my water bill. And so you know a a question that I have and I know that your product you have uh you're going to be uh taking a look at you all your product and um monitoring for errors and you know its operational uh points um and you trust them. Um there's a level of trust that's got to be established, you know, both for the city uh and your comp, you know, and the product that's being installed.

And so, you know, the thing to me comes to the point of is there is there a way at some point maybe a a quarter into this project of some of these that are in place, you know, some citizens that might say, "My water bill's going. this is something's wrong, you know. Um, for the sake of you and us, uh, and for the proof of the product, is there a time that you've ever gone back and said, "Okay, let's do an a measurement on yours or a measurement or even if it's a spot measurement of actual uh, you know, water going through here. Here was what we measured. Here's what actually came out." Yeah. AB:

Absolutely. If there's additional testing that need to take place because um a business or a citizen or somebody doesn't, you know, trust the data, that that's definitely capable of being done. It's actually done easier with some of these meters than it has, you know, with the older meters. Um so that's definitely not an issue. I will say a couple things that you brought up that are these are all great discussions and I want to make sure that everybody understands. So typically mechanical water meters, which is what you have in the ground today, don't speed up. So they always fail slower. Like I've only had twice I think in 25 years and it's one brand that I've actually come across where it's actually sped up. So regardless of what we hear and talk and do, if you look at the actual data over many, many years, those mechanical meters all fail and they slow down. So they're not reading as much water is going through it. Well, I know it's more than likely people have been getting more water for less spots

and and that's kind of the second point of the conversation that we all have to talk about. While yes, some bills may go up, the the reality of what happens in a city where you're tasked to to manage. You know, all of us have a fiduciary responsibility to basically we're managing taxpayer dollars, right? And what happens a lot of times if you think about it if you have to balance a budget in order to balance that budget you got to have a certain amount of revenue coming in. If that revenue starts to decline then you got to figure out where it's going and how to get back right. So what really happens in today and it's probably happening today is you have some clients who are not paying their fair share.

So what do you do? You raise water rates to accommodate to get the budget. So now all of a sudden the person that had the o the accurate meter is really paying more than their fair share because if we had just collected this that we were losing we may not had had to raise rates. So there's always a balance. So what we're trying to do and what staff is really trying to do as we looked at the data we want to make it fair and equitable for all residents and all businesses that they only pay their fair share. Yeah. Which is what they use. And now we're going to give them a tool to manage how they're using the water so they can decide how much they want to conserve or when they're hitting certain thresholds. Yeah. Sorry.

Uh council, just to confirm, we do do meter swap outs every every week almost if there's a meter failing um on the residential side. And I can tell you being over utility bill and typically the only ones that we'll hear from is if they were getting a zero read and now they're getting usage again. Um, if it's one that's just been slowly failing, there's typically not that big of a jump. It's more for the ones that are not reading at all. Um, and it'll and it's usually a little bit of a shock, but it's not that much. They're just used to the 3,000 or less bill in because I can't average residential bill in. And they just will now get an $8,000. I mean, not $8,000, 8,000 gallon. Mhm.

Um, so it it raised their water bill 20 bucks, you know, but it's because they were benefiting from that zero read for so long while we were waiting for meters. That really happened during CO when we couldn't find meters and we had some failing. Um, but for ones that we've had displays go out or sometimes they're not reading correctly, uh, like the the AMR component that we have now, we'll swap out a meter and it's very minimum the difference. It's we know that the major water loss is probably on the commercial side at this point because those meters are old and they're big and they use a lot more water than your average resident will use. And I think that that if we provide the information to the to the residents to the customers,

you know, what what these uh meters will do and uh so they can adjust to the change as it as we implement it. Yeah. In the past staff only had one read a month, right? You got one read and you had had to figure out what happened in between the last 28 days. Now they're going to see hourly data that says, "Hey, Mhm.

Mr. Customer, it looks like you have a continuous water usage. Have you checked your toilet? Have you checked an irrigation valve? What you we are showing this meter is picking up that you are continuous using water and you're like, "Oh, great." You know, and then they go out, change it, fix figure it out, and now all of a sudden they're back down to a good bill. So, I I looked at the contract. It was in our packet, and I just wanted to ask if from our city attorney, did you have any issues at all with the contract? And yeah, we we reviewed the contract and uh we went back and we went back and forth on the contract a few times, but uh we're happy with the final. Okay.

You did mention uh uh auxiliary meters, people that have sprinkler systems and they have a second meter for that purpose to avoid the sewer charges, you're you're covering them as well. Yes. All the meters in your system. Those meters that are in the system, if they were in the database, which I'm sure they all are, then you know, and I don't know how many or where they are, but

and and what we told staff is our plan, and I'll tell you the same, our plan is to not have any change orders. feel like we've done good due diligence at this. At the end of the day though, we have to trust your data, you know, that you have here. So, when we look at a job like this, we always find databases that are messed up, right? But the idea is that hopefully they're one meter was supposed to be a 1 in and this other one was supposed to be a 5/8 x 3/4. They cross each other out and at the end of the day, you know, we just get accurate data. So unless you've got a bunch of meters that were listed as 58 by 3/4 and they come in as 2 in, we should be good, you know. So, but whatever way it is, we'll we'll at the end of the day, we always told staff we'll do a a reconciliation to make sure that data is accurate. And one of the good things that comes out of this project in a process like this is they will get an AC accurate database with all the correct information in the system. I think the burden's going to be on us to really educate people ahead of time, let them know how great it's going to be and also that there's going to be some variances.

That's great. So everyone knows it'll be on us to really promote it. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Can I get a motion? I make a motion to approve. I'll second. We have a motion to approve by Councilman Fer, seconded by Councilman Robinson. Any uh additional discussion?

Uh to um Councilman's point about education, uh I would hope that we could start a program quickly so that by the time this is all turned on, we've given our citizens very good understanding of where we're going and what it means and that we're moving the city forward. I think it's a wonderful thing that we're doing for the long term and for the health of our city, the health of our residents and so on. But education, they need to understand what we're doing. And we also we also also I think we need to have a a backup plan for those who are not as uh technically savvy

as as other residents uh who may not deal with uh with apps on their iPhones, you know, right? on getting the data. So, we need to put that into the uh into the consideration. Does this change the look of our water bills that are those are all through um encode and they'll remain the same. Okay. It will be a different portal to review this data than the like the misable payment site. Um but we're going to direct link it somehow. Um we're going to talk with um the manufacturers because it's their their software. Um and then with ERP encode and we'll figure that out.

Is is there some way to introduce one of the things that key features that came up is indication of uh watch water that would all be done through the manufacturer software. You'll set up the alerts but we can also impersonate on the back side and we can help on that side. Tammy and me can help as well. Okay. Mhm. Can we do inserts in our water bills that would not only tell them something new is coming, but but reminders along the way?

Yes. Um I I have a plan to talk to Joseph and Ral and figure and Chad and figure out where we're going to be at what time, what streets, um so we can give notice um kind of, you know, because there will be not a huge disruption, but there will obviously be people parked around in the ground, you know, just to let people know that they're working on behalf of the city. So, we're going to work with some kind of um map hopefully to figure that out. And then we can include that in the mailers and then also um put it on the utility billing site. One of the things that we've done is we've worked with many cities to develop a lot of these public information engagement things. So, we're going to transfer that data over to you guys and kind of talk about some best practices. Some of those are what we call frequently asked questions.

So, these are the things that typically always come up from citizens and businesses. So we'll actually work to customize it to your city with your public information folks so that they have it and can put it on their website. Same thing our guys will always be in field different you know vests. We want to make sure that that's out there. We will leave a door hanger when we're done

on the actual so that they understand what it is. If we have any issues or can't um need something it'll be on the door hanger of what number to call um what needs to take place. So, for instance, if we come to a house and we actually change out the meter and then we actually turn the valve back on and the meter keeps spinning, we're going to turn the valve back off, right? Because we don't know if somebody was in the house and left while we were changing the meter and left a valve open or something like that. So, those things will come up and we just want to have that door hanger say and it'll be noted on that door hanger say, "Hey, please call us because we'll come back out and talk, but we didn't want to leave the water on in case somebody left something on." So, lots of information that goes out. We will definitely work with staff to make sure that that gets to your citizens.

The more information the better. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you. All right. Any additional comments? Yes. I want to discuss about funding it. Okay. So, we've got 50 a million five in the budget. We've got a a $533,000 budget overrun. what you just learned from this gentleman. There's an additional 7,000 and an additional 740 that are coming right behind that that it's all going to be in there. How are we planning on funding that now?

So the 7,000 I was just going to put in the operating budget because there is some um room there with some of the other time fees. put that in next year's budget or well for this project we'll just have that run into the oper the utility bill in budget the 2 million33,000 will come out of the capital so that will come out of order sewer reserves the differential that 533 that you see at the funded differential um on Joseph's chart there

so I'm looking at the undeide reserve in the last thing you gave us which was a month ago and I know this changes Lisa but it Uh 981,454. Okay. Um this will be from water sewer fund. Well, I think that you're thinking of the general fund. That was my next question. Yeah. How much of that is water and source enterprise fund? You know, uh 981. I don't believe that's I think you're looking at general funds.

Do we have assessment fees that can cover some of this or that? So when we originally were discussing some of the funding um differentials, we were waiting some cash flow from some um user fees um that have come in. So we are good to balance this project out of the differential out of the available cash for water sewer will be fined on that because we've already taken in account the 1.5 as towards revenues. So, it's just basically reallocating other available cash from water sewer towards this project. That's all you're doing.

So, we've got another item after this one that's going to talk about $121,000 for Yes. Which that that's we'll talk about that when we get there. Right. When we get there. But I'm just But for this because of the cash flow that had changed over the month will be fine. Also, the revenues for this year, uh, because of the rate increase or I think they're averaging about 15% year-over-year. So, you've brought in a and my revenue projections were based on the old rates because I didn't know when the new rate structure was going to get adopted when we were approving budget. So, there is additional revenue coming in as well. So, you're saying we're good to approve this. We've got this.

Yeah. And we're not going to stress somebody else. No. And like when we looked at the capital for the next year, there's not a huge amount of projects or high dollar amounts. Um so we'll be fine with cash flow. I was looking at that 550,000 for that 16inch waterline over on Vision Park that I talked with Raul Raul that that's closer to fruition than I thought of. I wanted to move it. Yes. The only good thing was that I think there was some rework on that that scope and it will reduce the price of that project. So there will be additional revenue. Uh I mean

basically you're unallocated you know expense towards from there and you can reallocate it here essentially. Well I'm bringing this up for me and for Ernest and and the rest of council that we know that we can afford to do this. Yeah. And the 1.5 was based on a very um it was an estimate just to get it onto the um budget. It was from um a meteor company that we're familiar with. Um doesn't take in consideration all the other ends if we got the the the runbys that we're putting on, you know, at all costs. I understand that.

Mhm. And there was some questions about if we could um not do some of those bypasses, maybe not do any of the vault work, but you would probably pay more money after the fact if you have to remobilize if we just do it now. So that was why me and Joseph and R decided let's pursue with this price and and bring it in front of you today. Right. And I agree with you 100%. I didn't want to peacemail it out. And also with the hospitals, we we want to make sure they have a bypass. That's a very critical um building to have that on. So Raul, are you good with what been said? Yeah, 100%.

Well, just to echo what Counciloman Brett was talking about. Can you just you lean forward like you were going to share something about the project of the bypass? Could you just kind of give a Lisa did a really good job covering everything. I mean, uh, the one like like she said, the $1.5 million was just a placeholder that we got from Badger in 2024. Mhm. Basically, it was just to replace all the meters. Just give us this is the number of meters that we have. Give us a price to replace all of them. Yeah. I'm sorry. What I was talking about was that bypass project that um talking about you. He's talking about vision park. The vision was coming in under Yeah. Not about Lisa just went. I was like, she did an excellent job.

Yes, she did. So, that the project is a 16inch water line replacement. So that if you remember correctly that we replace that line, repaired that line about eight times already. We already replaced the whole run once and it keeps busting. So what we're going to do with Bing is what we budgeted $550,000 for that project um uh last year. So we are rerouting that that line. So we're going to be splitting going to Avanti and going through Boulevard Green to replace that line. Instead of the 16-inch line, it's going to be a a two two line system. So, that's going to save us a lot of money. B is putting together the cost estimate for that new project. We just got the easements. Well, Bill is preparing those easements to present to Alvanti. So, we we're think it's going to save us like $200,000 to $300,000 on that project just for the reroute.

Yeah. And I I think that was part of the discussion to note that that that y'all came in under that. So be reallocated and that's a critical project. Every time that line bust it it cost us $30,000 a minimum just to repair it. All right. Thank you. Any additional discussion? No. Good. If not, all in favor say I. I. I.

Opposed? Motion carries. Item 10, discussion and possible action regarding emergency purchases for water well number three. Mary C. It's not always good news, but um we had to we had a motor failure on water pan number three on April 25th. We had a um cost estimates to get a new motor. The motor was completely done. So we'll have to get a new motor. It's not it's unreparable. Uh so Wisinger Incorporated uh gave us a cost estimate to get a new motor. It's two weeks out and also CSA gave us a quote to repair all the watering that was burned out. Uh those prices are the breakdown of those prices are there. So uh SA recommends approving those these repairs as soon as possible so we can get them order and get the water plan uh number three online as soon as possible. Yeah, those those photographs don't look good for that. I hope it doesn't.

It's not going to work. Yeah. All right. Can I get a motion? Motion to approve and then get some discussion. Yeah. Second. We have a motion to approve by Councilman Brock, seconded by Councilman Per. Discussion. The only thing that I'm sorry, go ahead. No, no, go. The only thing that I wanted to ask on that um that the damage that was occurred just so that was communicated to us was it was a lightning strike that actually went through the grounding rod. Yes. Okay. And so that possibly Lisa, you're going to be filing for

Yes. I I submit the we were waiting for the the report from CSA, but we got that today. I submitted the TML and I did put a rush on it. Um, so hopefully I have a clean specialist calling me in the morning and we can start working through that. But basically, when I read our property coverage, this should be covered. Yeah. All of this should be covered. Mhm. Is there a deductible out of that? We have don't don't we have a deductible out of um for property? It's a thousand, I believe. The rest of this ought to be covered up.

The only thing is they might look at the age of it and they might just do an approximation, but I think this should be covered that had no other failures. We did have the inspection done prior to this a couple weeks and it was in good good standins and um so this should be covered most most of it should be covered right yeah two weeks prior of this we did the per wising does our performance test on all of our wells so two weeks prior to this they did all the testing and everything was working as it should so so an insurance claim is great but that's tomorrow's money if it ever comes in and we've got enough to cover pretty quick um money.

Yes, TML is pretty quick. Um, this one doesn't envir involve any environmental or any, you know, um, different um, testing they would have to do. Um, so this should be fairly quick, especially because it is a lightning and we do have CSA wrote up a very detailed um, opinion of what happened. So that helps with the appraisal process cuz so they can see and we've done all we pretty much did all the due diligence that they would require after we filed the claim. So it's all presented to them. I promise the last thing I'm going to say.

And on a techie note, you had said that we made some changes on the surge protection of this reoccurring. Yes, we we added a total of four surf protectors in in this new line new wiring. Uh that should protect the in case of another incident like this. So you went from one which was what was on there to four. Correct. Okay. Do we need to do that on our other So um

really I mean lighting can happen anywhere. Uh the problem with elevated storage tank is just a big structure there that just attracts lighting. you know, it's a bowl with water, so it attracts a a lot of lighting. So, I actually, that's a good question because I did check um the Tamina uh elevated storage and we do have search protectors in there, so it's covered in that area. Uh more than likely this will not happen. Never seen, but on on water plan 2 and water plan 4, which but they don't have a elevated storage tank. No, it's just ground storage. Yeah, hydro tanks.

That is correct. And for the benefit of the residents, uh how has this affected the uh the the water pressure in the that that uh plant three uh serves? So pressure should is was not affected. So our main course right now is water plant number two and we're also um mixing with water plant number four. Um both wells are working really well. Okay. And um they're carrying the load, John. They're carrying the load. Yeah. Yeah, you're doing everything right now. Very well. Good. Any more comments? If not, all in favor say I. I.

Thank you, mayor and council. Just wanted to give a few updates. Uh wanted to again promote the constant contact uh notification program that we have through our website. And we've been pushing a lot of content out there. It's very easy to apply for. just enter in your email address on that and you will get all the notification uh notifications that we're pushing out there. We're doing city information. We're doing anything that would relate to our city. So, I really encourage the citizens to take advantage of that. Um the other thing is I wanted to give a a final update on the park. I know few council meetings ago there was concerns with signage and also the lighting. I wanted to confirm and let you know that new signage has been installed and the timers have been um corrected. So, they will turn off at 9:30 at night and then new signage has been put up. So, wanted to close that out for you and so let you know and also the citizens know that's been taken care of. Right. Great job.

And um want also just a quick update. Last week we had the Sharks meet at the pool and I was told that it was a great turnout and although they did not win their their tournament, but they uh they did have a great turnout and it's a great way to open up the uh the pool season for the summer. That's all I have for you this evening. On the signage uh the uh the hours the closing hours are they on the on the courts themselves like a basketball court and uh I believe so. That's what they were put on there. Ru and you probably give a little bit more detail on that. Yes, they are there.

Okay, good. I had a resident I haven't had the opportunity to go by there, but had a resident ask me if I was taken care of. Great. Thank you. All right. Council inquiry. We're going to start. Councilman Srall, I know you're new at this and uh do you have anything that you want to say or complain about or ask about? Uh

I want to thank the city in general for the support uh that the city provided uh during the last election cycle. I want to thank all the citizens for being actively involved and um I look forward to working with you guys and um thank you for your guidance. All right. Thank you, Councilman Summerland. I've been long-winded earlier, so I'm going to pass. You going to rest your throat? I'm going to rest my throat. Yeah. Council Plet,

I just have one question of Sam and uh the chief. Uh one of the other requests from our uh residents that brought up the problem at the the park being open late uh people uh playing uh tennis etc early. Uh they had also requested that we have police uh enforcement to check at least periodically to make sure that uh people of the rec people are complying with those uh those rules those posted rules. That that is correct. And I worked with Chief Dunlap on this and they're going to do periodic and random patrols through there throughout their shifts to ensure that people are are adhering to the posted times. Correct. Thank you.

I I can attest to part of that. I apologize. I said I wasn't going to say anything that the uh the patrols when they're coming toward the park fitting their brights on and uh it's it's really appreciated that they're You saying you noticed it being so close to the park?

Yeah, since I'm right there right by the park. I can actually see the light coming through my bedroom. No. The other thing is that uh I will say that this week uh uh ran into a a sergeant that was on patrol on uh Delmare Green at the end of the block and uh he was walking back from the the house. I said, "Oh, how are you doing, Cedric?" He said, "Great." He said, "I'm just on patrol." He said, "It's a vacation check." He said, "Uh one of your residents called said, "We're on vacation." So he was he was personally walking up there checking uh the facility to make sure everything was okay.

And he said he said, "Man, it is so good to have full staffing in our police department. Apparently every position is filled now." And uh they are really on the ball and they're they're they're patrolling everywhere. Great job, Chief and your team. Thank you, Chief. Council brought

I just want to tell council and Mr. mayor here, myself and Sam that a couple of weeks ago I attended the Tamina Day celebration they had over there and Miss Rita saw me and she wanted me to speak on behalf of the city and I did and it was very favorable and uh all of the Tamina residents and bells were there as well and uh we're very appreciative of Chenadoa and how they've handled this water and sewer. Yes, there was a lot of inconvenience, but that's behind them now. U we noticed the water lines down Main Street going all the way down that way. And there the fire department of South County was wanting to know uh when they're going to be online. So Raul, if you would keep that in mind for them that when that's ready to keep them because I didn't know ED10 and whatever their ED is split right by Sleepy Sleepy Hollow there. So there's two fire departments back there. So

we can definitely let and we need to let keep need involved as well too. So that was one of the things that came from that meeting. Absolutely.

Thank you, Counc. Uh yes, I want to thank the residents of Shanoa for my their support of me and my reelection. Uh thank you very much. And uh on that note, I soon as the election was over with, I got a call from one of our our our residents out there on Holly Hill who said, "Now the election's over. Have we been forgotten?" Said, "No, you've not been forgotten." Um, and so I'd like to just make an inquiry for a moment of our chief and our our city administrator and ask them if they could discuss just briefly what's what they're doing right now to address the concerns of those folks on Holly Hill that have been uh pretty vocal and and uh and obviously we've been trying to address that. So I'll ask the chief if he'd maybe comment on it for a moment.

Sure. Um, so I've used my seizure funds to purchase four uh radar signs. um that I would like to put at some of the entrances to the the valley area. Uh the main entrances where we're having issues off of Holly Hill, uh coming off research forest, Shannidoa, Savannah, those are our main problem problematic areas as well as Wellman. So I I purchased those signs. Uh they're going to have 12-in displays on them that'll show uh everybody's speed and then it'll also collect data that we can gather which will show speed of the vehicles as well as um just um the the speed, how many the count of vehicles and stuff like that. I think uh you mentioned something about that will allow you also to replace a couple of the or one at least one of the res residential uh speed limit signs too for traffic coming southbound I believe on Holly Hill because you're going to be placing this for the northbound traffic coming off of Research Forest. Is that correct?

Correct. That was that's the goal. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Um, I want to I want to thank the chief and and uh and certainly uh our city administrator because I know they've been out there and uh they've been trying they've been visible.
