service area, with a study to be done to determine the possibility of
purchasing the entire service area from CTSUD.
Item V Bain asked Hart about the agreement in this item. Hart explained that it
was to enable an emergency interconnect similar to the arrangements with
City of Round Rock and Jonah SUD. He said this agreement was not a
bulk water sale. He said it would be used for emergencies only, subject to
our ability to provide service, with the same rate to be charged to Chisholm
as is charged to Round Rock and Jonah.
Item R Wood asked why the computers to be purchased were not coming from
Power Computing. Gray replied that Power Computing sells an entirely
different operating system than what the City uses at this time. She added
that in the next few years, the systems will be interchangeable.
Item O Hoyt asked where the components would be used. Briggs replied that these
components need to be put on the meters that don't have them presently in
order to be compatible with the Customer Choice and Control System.
Item Z Vincent asked about a timeline. Kingma responded that it would be over a
period of 15 years, with on-going traffic impact analysis being done. Hart
explained that part of the reason for separating and accelerating is because
the site to be used for a school needs to be acted upon as quickly as
possible.
Wood asked when D. B. Wood Road would be under construction. Briggs responded that
because of the bridge, the design would be complete in 1998, with construction to begin in
1999.
Bain asked if the Concept Plan for Shell Ranch is compatible with what Tonn and some of
the staff saw in Florida at a similar subdivision. Tonn replied that it is compatible. Barry
felt that the plan being considered by Council on this agenda was consistent with
variances approved in the past.
