Minutes of the BAWA Meeting — October 20, 1999
Plant Manager's Report
BAWA Bond Sale - Mike Daws, Finance Director, explained that two special
meetings of the board would be required to effect a BAWA bond sale. The first meeting
would be necessary prior to the Council meeting on October 28 in order for the BAWA
Board to approve the Preliminary Official Statement and Notice of Sale. The second
meeting would be required to hold the sale on November 10. The Board concurred to
meet on October 28 at 5:00 p.m. and on November 10 at 1:30 p.m.
Consumer Confidence Report — Fred Pack, Director of Utilities for the City of
Baytown, reviewed the report with the Board. He explained that the City of Baytown
was required to mail a Consumer Confidence Report to all users of City of Baytown
water, while BAWA was required to submit such report to its wholesale customers
annually. However, all calls are being referred to BAWA, including any from the City of
Baytown mail -outs.
TNRCC Inspection — The Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission's
inspection of the plant revealed four minor infractions. Repairs will be made within the
fourteen (14) days' limit and the "Superior Water Status" will not be jeopardized. The
TNRCC is looking at all the wholesale contracts to determine whether peak demand is
specified because of past drought conditions in the state. Therefore, the Commission
may come back and require that peak demand be specified in each contract for sale of
treated water. At that juncture, BAWA must be in position to furnish that peak demand.
With the proposed expansion, this will not be a problem.
Plant Expansion — Tomorrow, staff will have the thirty (30%) percent review with
Camp Dresser & McKee, Inc. (CDM). The ninety (90%) percent review is scheduled
toward the end of December or early January. The Ozone Plant Pilot Study is
complete. The Ozone Report is expected in December.
Adjourn
There being no further business to be trans cted, the meeting was adjourned.
