19. Consider and Possible Action on Sewer Line Bore of F.M. 455.
Mark Hill, City Engineer, indicated the high school is in the process of installing their
sewer line, the portion that parallels the railroad is going to have to be oversized, his
recommendation was that the bore under FM 455 be installed as part of this project.
The reasoning was for future construction. The line along 455 will tie into a manhole
adjacent to the existing R.O.W. along 455. This line was gong to serve Bridle Path, it
will be serving a great portion of the North part of the City.
Mayor asked if the City can recoup any of the cost from Roger Hebard.
Mark Hill indicated he didn't see any way.
Mayor indicated if the State comes 120 foot from the middle of the road, what will this
do to this line.
Mark Hill indicated the existing sewer line may have to be relocated, it is in the existing
R.O.W. the 27" line should be fine in the future.
Councilman Evans asked if they could just do one side and force them to go under the
road to tie into it.
Mark Hill indicated one side cannot be done without done it all, in the future it may
be a problem if we don't do it now.
Discussion regarding the R.O.W. and the easements.
City Manager indicated Mr. Hebard was only going to pay the cost of an 8" bore, the
cost for that was only $6500.00. The only thing extra we will be paying is that $6500.00.
Discussion continued.
Councilman Garza moved to approve the boar, Councilman Evans seconded, Motion
carried unanimously.
