APPROVAL OF AGENDA A motion was made by Herb Kal, seconded by Bobby Sutton, Jr. and carried unanimously to approve the agenda as written. VI. CALL TO THE PUBLIC None VII. GENERAL ORDER OF BUSINESS A. Marana Municipal Water System Operations and Planning, including Revenues and Costs; Assured Water Supply~ Purchase of Public and Private Systems, Wholesale Purchase of Water~ Status of Intergovernmental Agreements and Water Quality. Brad DeSpain; Mr. DeSpain showed a video on the new water tank updates and some of the other things that are taking place with the Municipal Water System. Tom Clark: The 6' well that comes in with Cortaro, the reason it is here is because of the Town Hall, correct? Or was there a well before that? How does the pumpage compare to the other wells? Brad DeSpatn: Our wells are at about 200 gallons per minute. Cortaro's well on Grier is about 430 gallons per minutes and the well across the tracks is 500. The park well is about 500 gallons per minute as well. The first issue he would like to discuss is upgrading the system and the estimated costs. In Council's packet is a sheet which shows the needs and improvements. Our recommendation to Council is that we interconnect the east well system to the west well system by changing the existing 2" main to an 8" main. We would go south in the alley from the existing 8" main, it would go to the end of Hinton Street. Then we would go down Steele Dr. down to Wynema Ave., we would then go south on White to where it ends. This is a total distance of 2631 feet. The pipe would cost about $5.00 per foot, that is the schedule 900 pipe which is 400 psi. We would also have to put some valves in, we are trying to get some numbers now. His estimation is about $30,000.00, the labor would be in-house. The west well storage tank replacement, which is similar to the storage that is there now, would cost approximately $50,000.00. To do a tank like the one that is on the cast well, would cost about $60,827.57. We could do it if we have to construct it on site. There is a man in Phoenix who has a 50,000 gallon tank that he constructed to specs and standards. The company did not pay so he cut it in two and took it back to his yard. He said he would put that tank together for the Town for $25,000.00. It would be about 20 feet high. Robert Condit is working on thc interconnect from the Park Well out to Lon Adams Rd. It would be approximately $45,000.00 with in-house labor and equipment. We would tie the Park Well in at Lon Adams, go from Grier Rd. and Sanders, down Sanders to Swanson. And then Swanson to our well. To add a second booster pump to the east well system would cost about $5,000.00. That option would be very handy and it would eliminate some worry. The second booster pump would allow us to produce enough flow that the fire trucks could hook up if and when we get fire hydrants. Mayor Honea: Would that add a second pressure tank as well or would they both pump into the same tank? Brad DeSpain: The additional pressure pump would pump into the same tank. When we assembled the water pressure line from the pump over to the pressure tank we put a "T" in there and we can come right out and stub right into the "T". That gives the option that if one pressure pump went down, you could shut one off and isolate it. The tank would handle both of them. Tom Clark: Do we need the second booster pump to build up the pressure that the fire hydrants would need? Brad DeSpain: Yes we would. We don't have hydrants so we probably won't be needing the second pump other than for comfort of risk and as a stand by. Tom Clark: Was it thought out that hydrants would be put in with this line? Brad DeSpain: In the figures that he put together we would stub out for them, they would not be put in yet. They are not going to be placed strategically where they should be. We have not designed where the fire hydrants should be placed at this time. Another possibility is to evaluate and consider re-equipping thc abandoned well at the west well site. It now has a turbine type pump in it. We would need to determine what all needs to be done. We would probably have to pull the turbine out, it has a ten horse motor and replace it with a submersible pump. It would run about $15,000.00 to re-equip. The whole system Mainline upgrade and improvement with fire plug stub out is about $80,000.00. The reason it is so expensive is if we change our main system from what it is now, the system basically runs in the alleys. In those alleys the meters are on the backside of people's property, if we were going to put in a new main system we probably ought to do it in the right of way next to the pavement. If that was done we would also have to move all the individual water connections to the front side of the property, he does not think most people would be happy with that. The Master Facilities Plan Report for Service Area by Mr. Holub will address this issue later. 2 We have a sample of that from Canada Hills, it shows the Master Facilities that we are going to require for our entire service area. We really need to get it pulled together so as people come in then we know what is required in the specific area they are in. Item 8 - Prepare electrical panel to hoolmp generator to pumps for emergency. This is the preparation of the electrical panels that we now have to hook up to a generator that the Public Works Department has so that we can run the pumps in case of an electrical failure or emergency, He does not believe it would be too difficult, we have talked with some electricians and it would be a matter of attaching a plug to the top of the panel where it can come in from Trico. Anything that the Council may have that they feel may be needed to upgrade the system is also open for discussion. Herb Kal: Has the alternative been explored as to possibly digging a new well somewhere in the Honea area, if we decided not to interconnect. We should look at the cost involved in drilling a new well which would spare the Town the $45,000.00 interconnect. Would the $30,000.00 upgrade be necessary if we decided to drill a new back up well. Brad DeSpain: In his opinion the interconnect is the most important thing that should be done. Even if you drill a well you still have that 2" line that ties the two systems together. If one well goes down the other well will have trouble keeping the volume of water up. Herb Kal: The drawback he can see is that maybe CMID may not care for the Honea wells that may possibly be high in nitrates at times. Is there something where Cortaro or Marana could lock out of the well if it was high in nitrates. Brad DeSpain: The plan would not be to have them inter-tied and used continually. It would be in case of an emergency. There is a distinct advantage to hook all the wells together. Floyd Foster, Cortaro Water User's Association: If we interconnect all the systems, with our low nitrates and the high nitrates in Honea Heights, the two would bring the level down. It would be better to blend the water first in a tank, we would just run the two systems together. Herb Kal: It sounds like the $30,000.00 interconnect is something that is required to tie the east and west wells together regardless of Cortaro. Brad DeSpain: That is correct. In his opinion it is the most advantageous thing we can do so we have a reliable system for our customers. Herb Kat: Then the extra $45,000.00 to tie in with the Cortaro water, if the wells went down. Brad DeSpain: That is correct, that is what we have talked about this far. Mayor Honea: It looks like we would both have about a 1,000 gallons per minute capacity system wide. He likes the thought of tying the systems together. Both of our wells are on TEP Electric, if the electric goes out both wells go down. If both of our wells would be down for any reason we could take water from Cortaro. He feels that the two tie lines are the main parts of the project. Brad DeSpain: He agrees. Also, Trico's response time is probably quicker than Tucson Electric because of the volume being handled. Ora Harn: She is interested in the fire hydrant stub outs. When we laid the other line a couple years ago she asked that stub outs be put in for fire hydrants at that time. It is really important to have the stub outs in planning for the future. When we connect the pu~nps will that be a two inch line. 3 Brad DeYpain: The 2" existing line would be replaced with an 8", so we could stub out at the corner of Hcster and llinton, Steele and Hinton and another place as well, possibly three stub outs. Ora Harn: She toured one of the Northwest Fire District's facilities and she learned a few things. When a fire hydrant is within so many feet of a home it makes a diftbrence on their property insurance. Jack Babb, Northwest Fire District: The fire code requirements for residential areas is a minimum of 500 feet between hydrants. Most insurance companies will accept a hydrant within a thousand feet of a residence for the lower insurance rates. They also look at the location of the nearest fire station and other fire safety features that are built in to also bring down the insurance rates. With the fire code we can help establish stub out locations and such for the water companies involved. Ora Ham: She would like to incorporate this somewhere in the plans, so that we could give some advantage to people in the Community. Herb Kal: He agrees that the interconnect tie is good. The best way to do it, since we do have a big storage tank already, would be to back up the pressure pump at the storage tank with a generator. How long a period of time is our storage tank good for. Brad DeSpain: We have 25,000 gallons at the east well and 20,000 at the west well. This would probably be about one day's storage at each place. Herb Kal: If we backed up the pressure pumps to suck out the big storage tanks, that would take care of the problem just through the power outages. Brad DeSpain: He doesn't feel there would be a large reduction in pressure, possibly 10 pounds. Mayor Honea: Sometime in the near future he thinks this systems will all work together. Would this tie line be sufficient if we were able to work out an agreement with Cortaro, they can pump water much cheaper then we can because of their reduced electrical rate. Would that line be able to support the entire system. If five or ten years down the road we are able to work out an agreement with Cortaro to where we can tie all of these systems together. Will we still need both of the tanks if we tie the two systems together. Brad DeYpain: He believes to meet fire code and state ADEQ we are required to have so much storage for a certain subdivision. You can't include the water in your lines as part of your storage. Mayor Honea: Would like to know what Mr. DeSpain's assessment of the life of the underground tank on the west well. Brad DeSpatn: His best guestimate is probably five years additional service, it is in bad shape. Mayor Honea: If we do some of these major improvements it might give us chance to amortize this out. If we could stretch the use of the storage tank out that would save $25,000.00 - $50,000.00 for right now. Brad DeSpain: If something did happen to that storage tank at the west well, duc to what we did with the east well, we have no contingency funds left. It would be his recommendation to put in that storage tank, or at least have the funds available. It is his understanding also that 4 the sale of the domestic water system from Cortaro is on their September agenda for discussion purposes. Hurvie Davis: Earlier it was said that the east well was pumping 200 gallons per minute and it was storing 80 gallons, we were losing 120 gallons a minute. What are we currently losing on the west well. Brad DeSpain: Nothing that he knows of other than seepage, which is very minimal at this point. If you want to take some time to prioritize these projects or instruct Staff to select a few and bnng back more information to Council. Herb Kal: In his opinion the $30,000.00 interconnect seems like a mandatory project. The west well storage tank he also feels is important, we always need storage. The only thing that he has a problem with is the interconnect with Cortaro. Is there another well closer than Cortaro where we could hook up. Brad DeSpatn: The distance would not be much shorter if we went another way. Mayor Honea: Has Cortaro been approached about sharing the costs of the interconnect. Brad DeSpain: We have discussed that. Mr. Condit felt that they could possibly do part of it, but that is prior to us being able to furnish as much water to them as they can furnish to us. Since Mr. Foster and I have checked that out and determined that we could probably do that, he has not discussed it again with Mr. Condit. We can return as much water as they can provide to us, so there ought to be a sharing of the costs, it will be a hard sell, Mayor Honea: If we just tie the park well in to Cortaro that would be an advantage to them because they would have a back up. But it would be of no advantage to us what so ever. He can't see doing one without doing both. ltugh Holub: If we could get that park well into the service area then we could claim the service area right on the well and have the right to withdraw the water from it. Interconnecting the systems helps that argument. Fairly soon we ail need to start looking at a Master Plan for the water systems, so we don't duplicate facilities. You have the ability to go after water service in the entire Town boundaries. We will need a Master Plan to determine where to put wells, where are the pressure zones and fire codes. Now is the time to think about these things. Mayor Honea: The Master Plan could probably be funded differently than infrastructure improvements in the water system. We could put the money into the budget to do a Master Plan, so it would not come out of the water system. Maybe we should start thinking about that for the next fiscal year budget. Hugh Holub: You can't al'ibrd not to have a plan. A plan would get the Town the water facility that it needs. The Town has several small water companies which are not very strong. The more interconnections and storage tanks we have the more reliable our water system will be. Bobby Sutton, Jr,: We all realize we need to get the Master Plan going, what is the interim phase in doing this. Mayor Honea: We need to concentrate on our water system. Brad DeSpain: His plan is to include the Master Plan in the budget for the 96-97 fiscal year. Mayor Honea: He wanted to know if everybody agreed that the interconnect between the east and west wells was the most important item. If we buy the tank that is ali ready to go, we are going to get a tank for half the expense of another tank. The only problem would be if we have people going crazy because the tank is going to stick up. His suggestion is to purchase the tank, interconnection for east and west wells and also with Cortaro. Brad DeSpain: The Town's share for the interconnect would be around $25,000.00. Ora l-Iarn: She would like to see the second booster pump added to the well systems. That would add $10,000.00 to the cost. If we put the second booster pump on the east well we would never go through what we have had to go through when a pump goes down. Herb Kal: Maybe we should see if we could do the interconnect first, we need to get together with Cortaro and get a decision from them. Mayor Honea: The storage capacity and the interconnect are within our own system. If we did one and two and what Council Member Harn was saying hook it up, we have the generators already. We would never be completely without water, even if both wells were down we could run one off the generator. Brad DeSpain: That is correct unless you have a well failure. Mayor Honea: If we tie our two wells together and we have good storage at both ends, and then also did the generator, there should never be any reason not to have some water. Maybe we should do one and two and the hook up for the generator, since we already have the generator. That way it guarantees us we will have water. Brad DeSpain: That is correct. We could prioritize the options now and talk about the rates. Mayor Honea: Maybe we could look at putting some CDBG money into this project as well. It really does benefit the northern end of the Community and CDBG money cannot be spent on the south end, it does not qualify. Brad DeSpain: We have $22,000.00 of CDBG funds in there that was going to be used in the main lines, interconnect or however. Mayor Honea: We might look at this as a major project for CDBG next year or something. Hurvie Davis: In using CDBG funds for a project, we ran into some difficulty with the east well storage tank, we have to pay Davis-Bacon wages by use of the federal funds. If we put CDBG money in it, it is a lot of money so we don't put a minor amount of the cost in, then the whole project has to be Davis-Bacon wages so we would end up losing money. Mayor Honea: Maybe we could fund one and two, and maybe do the entire interconnect between Cortaro and Marana through CDBG. Brad DeSpain: If we can do the labor ourselves on those projects with CDBG funds, it is his understanding that we don't have to pay the Davis-Bacon wages. Mayor Honea: We could look at CDBG funds for the interconnects, both in system and inter- system. Then do the storage tank out of system moneys. Brad DeSpain: Clarified that Staff is to look at projects one and two as the first priorities, then three, four and eight. We would like to move then to rates and finances, he passed out some information to Council. Mr. Cuaron is also here to discuss current rates, cash flow and indebtedness. On the second page is the monthly water fees, depending on the size of the meter. Roy Cuaron: The water system is not paying for itself. He explained the information furnished on the chart in Council's packet. The operating budget of $103,057.00 does not include any capital improvements to the water system. This is what we think is a pretty reasonable cost to operate the system. With the income from the current rate structure, we are at a deficit of $26,000.00, excluding the no interest loan. Our recurring operating costs on a yearly basis, we would expect to be about $103,000.00. Scenarios one thorough four then show what the income levels would be by raising the minimum service fee a dollar and the usage fee remaining the same. From scenarios five through eleven, we have increased the service fee and also the additional usage fee by $1.10. Scenario eleven shows that we would generate a surplus to cover the operating costs only. The average water bill for the last six months has been about $33.00, if we were to go to scenario eleven the average bill would increase to $44.50, a 35% increase. Mayor Honea: Was there any scenarios done with steps. He is looking at high volume users possibly paying for the extra service. Roy Cuaron: The water system currently does not have a lot of big water users, there may be a handful out of the 187 that we maintain on a monthly basis. Herb Kal: Do you think we should factor in something so when we do raise the rates people tend to conserve, the average bill could possibly go down? Brad DeSpain: The sheet that was included in Council's packet deals with the suggested rate scenarios, he did not ask Mr. Cuaron to try and be creative. We were not sure what Council wanted to look at. We gave some ideas and want to receive some input from Council on what ideas to look at. We will look further into these ideas and get back to Council with more information. Mayor Honea: He feels that it is going to be painful and we are going to get some flak, but the water system is supposed to be self sufficient by law. Brad DeSpain: The Water Utility Code states that the system must pay its way and if funds are used from the General Fund, those funds must be paid back timely with interest. Hugh Holub: A lot of cities have that, it is what is called the enterprise fund basis. In the original negotiations with Cortaro, they did not want the Town using property tax money or any kind of tax money to try and subsidize the water system. The idea was to have a completely self sufficient system. Herb Kal: We are looking at a 30% increase if we go from current rates to scenario eleven. Mayor Honea: It would be an $11.00 average increase per customer. The system needs to be self sufficient, at least the operating costs. We may look at putting some capital out of the General Fund into the project because it will benefit the entire Town later as areas grow. Bobby Sutton, Jr.: Is there any streamlining as far as cutting some of the operating costs. Brad DeSpain: His comment is no, we don't even have a full time person for the system. Roy Cuaron: Basically the $103,000.00 represents charging one full time person to the Water Department, that person being a direct labor person. They are probably spending about $17,000.00 on direct labor in a year, another $8,000.00 for administrative costs. We are about as bare bones as we are going to get. Hurvie Davis: What concerns him about this is where you have a system where there is a rate structure and so forth and you are not building up any reserve for emergencies, we are 7 very fortunate to have the opportunity of having CDBG funds. Any good operating system would be building up a reserve for emergencies and capital improvements. We have not been able to do that. Mayor Honea: If we can borrow money to do some capital improvements at 0% interest then we might have to look at separating the capit~al outlay from the operating expenses. Scenario eleven, we could pass that and we probably should, so we would run at least paying the operating expenses. Brad DeSpain: It would be his recommendation to take a period of time and go with scenario eleven. Mayor Honea: He would like to see the Town do the water rate in November or December, in a cold month with very low usage. Brad DeSpain: Mr. DeSpain read the Water Utility Code to Council which states that the water system must be self sufficient. Mayor Honea: He thinks the Town either needs to change the Code or some other suggestion. Roy Cuaron: His suggestion would be if thc Town is going to raise rates he would go right from where we are at now to scenario eleven. On the capital improvements he would recommend using CDBG moneys, that may require us to reallocate the funds. Currently in the budget we are using about $87,000.00 of CDBG funds, if the numbers come in as budgeted we are going to be spending $32,000.00 in General Fund. Bobby Sutton, Jr.: What is the capacity of customers that we could serve. Brad DeSpain: The build out in Honea Heights is eleven additional units over the 190 meters we now have in place. Bobby Sutton, Jr.: So basically this system will never get to a point where it will generate a reserve. Brad DeSpain: That is correct in his opinion. Hurvie Davis: He would suggest that one of the best things we could do is look at adjusting the rate each and every year so we don't get such a dramatic jump at one time. Brad DeSpain: He explained what other water companies around the Town are doing. Cortaro is at $10.25 minimum including tax, Marana is at $13.08 with tax and Lyn-Lee is at $17.50 for a minimum. The City of Tucson is $9.70 for the first 100 cubic feet which is 750 gallons. Herb Kal: We are limited to a very small number of customers compared to Cortaro's 400 or 500, we need to get the rates up. Bobby Sutton, Jr.: No matter what month the new rates go into effective, the customers are going to figure out the percentage the rates went up. Is there a way to protect the smaller water users and get more from the larger users. Brad DeSpain: The average use is 9,000 gallons a month, so you would have to put your increments at 9,000 gallons. It is now based on 1,000 gallon increments. You could raise the additional usage but that would affect everybody. 8 Ora Ham: She suggests that before Council does a rate increase that they hold some Town meetings for people in the water system area to let them Imow of the rate change and why it is taking place, Mayor Honea: A few years ago when the rate was raised we sent out a letter stating that the Town needed to raise the rates. We then held a public meeting at the Town Hall where the people were allowed to vent their frustrations and comments. We need to inform them ahead of time. Hurvie Davis: We have had some reliability problems recently, the system went down, the water pressure went down and we were running off of one pump. We had a lot of complaints from people. A number of these people told Mr. Davis that if we have all this money from the annexation why don't we use that to upgrade the water system. He is ah'eady feeling that they don't want their rates increased, they want the Town to take other revenues to offset a rate increase. Hugh Holub: Since the last time the Town adopted rates, the State Legislature passed a Statute where you're required to produce a report explaining why it is you want to change your rates. This has to be published twice in a newspaper of general circulation and make it available here at the Town Hall with thirty days notice to the customers before a rate change can be adopted. You have to make a case to the customers as to why you are raising the rates. The other thing to think about in the whole plan is we never planned to just have Hones Heights, this is a water system that the Honeas built themselves, this will never grow. All the new water facilities in the Town, storage tanks, wells and what not, this rate would apply there as well. This kind of rate with some additional growth may be a good rate. Waiting four or five years in between rate increases always leaves you with a huge percentage for an increase down the road. Mayor Hol~ea: He knows many people in that neighborhood. His suggestion would be to go to scenario eleven. Notify the customers in the next billing that we anticipate this rate change, we just can't keep pouring money into this system. People want better service and we are giving them better service but they need to pay for it. Brad DeSpain: He is in hopes that the Water Committee appointed at the Council Meeting last night will help with this matter. Ora Harn: She would like to suggest that we give ourselves enough time to talk to the people and let them know what is happening and give them time to talk to Council. Mayor Honea: He is looking at raising the rates so they at least pay the operating costs. We are looking at putting mains in where we could put in fire hydrants and other added securities. Bobby Sutton, Jr.: We could ask the Water Committee to put everything together showing what is being done and why. Mayor Honea: We could actually come up with more scenarios which would show even higher rates which would cover more than just the operating expenses. It would show that we did not go to the far left, we stayed in the middle with the rate increase. Hugh Holub: He thinks the customers should be given the worst case scenario as something to compare the rate increase to. Mayor Honea: We should also include the part of the Town's Municipal Code which states that the Water System cannot operate at a deficit. 9 Brad DeSpain: He wanted to thank Roy Cuaron for the extra work that he put into this, he really appreciates his efforts. Mayor Honea: When the customers receive the information regarding a rate increase, they are going to want to call somebody to discuss this. We need to give a contact number to have their questions answered. Brad DeSpain: He does not know how we can accomplish that. Maybe some of the Staff at the Development Center could handle some of the calls. Hurvie Davis: We really need to exemplify everything that we send out to the customers. Mayor I-Ionea: When would we like to get this information out, we need to do it. If it can be in the next billing it should be sent out. We need to set up guidelines on how we are going to proceed. Brad DeSpain: If you want to raise the rate in December or January, we should back up from there. Hugh Holub: The earliest a rate increase could be effective is October right now. Mayor Honea: If we set November as the effective date. Hugh Holub: November first could be the effective date but you have to take action in September to kick off the thirty day formal period. You can't pass an ordinance to create the rate until thirty days later, which would be sometime in October. Roy Cuaron: His feeling is either December 1st or January 1st. We need to give ourselves some time to educate the customers and also for Staff to put together the information needed. Ora Harn: She would like to wait until January 1st to put a rate increase into effect. Mayor Honea: We need to set a date. We would like to direct Staff to work with the Water Advisory Committee to begin the process to implement the rate increase. Hurvte Davis: He would recommend January ist as the effective date for the rate increase as well. We will put the program together as soon as possible so we can start the meetings. Ora Ham: She would like to recommend that one of the things that Staff think about is that somebody be available with the knowledge to answer questions that the water customers will have. Hurvie Davis: A hot-line is fine to answer questions but we need to have more than one line. Brad DeSpain: If you look at the budget, we don't have any funds to hire any temporary people to man these lines. Bobby Sutton, Jr.: He would like to also direct Staff to work out the numbers with Brad. If the people are not educated enough we could have a referendum. Floyd Foster, Cortaro Water User's Association: If you have any questions on testing and regulating he would be happy to answer them. Ora Harn: How are we doing on the nitrates. i0 Brad DeSpain: We have been very close to ten or just above since June on the east well, prior the west well was the one that was higher. Hurvie Davis: He would like some clarification on the public information program that is going to be put together. We talked about having public information meetings, does the Council still want to hold these meetings prior to the Public Hearing. Mayor l-Ionea: We should probably make ourselves available, we might save ourselves a lot of problems. We have other issues to cover, we will continue some of these items until the Annexation Meeting. Mayor Honea wanted to thank Mr. DeSpain for an excellent presentation and a job well done. Also Mr. Cuaron for the financial information prepared for tonight. VIII. FUTURE AGENDAITEMS None IX. ADJOURNMENT A motion was made by Tom Clark, seconded by Herb Kal and carried unanimously to adjourn. Time 9:50 p.m. AUDIO TAPES OF THE MEETING ARE AVAILABLE AT THE MARANA TOWN HALL CLERK'S OFFICE. CERTIFICATION I hereby certify that the foregoing minutes are the true and correct minutes of the Special Council Meeting of the Marana Town Council held on August 16, 1995. I further certify that a quorum was present.
