MEMORANDUM #336
T0: Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Council
FROM: John Hamilton, City Manag
DATE: September
SUBJECT: Consider and Possible Action on Ordinance Establishing
Wastewater (Sewer) Rates
The enclosed ordinance outlines proposed rate increases in wastewater
service charges of about 13% increasing Residential and Commercial Rates
as follows:
Class A
Current $8 minimum
$14 minimum
1,000 metered gallons metered gals,
(current rates are actually based on the average of the 3 lowest
months water usage.)
Proposed $10 minimum
$.65 per thousand metered
gallons total not to exceed $20.00
$16 minimum
$.65 per thousand
metered gallons not to
exceed $100.00
As our commercial rates were not thoroughly discussed at the last
budget workshop, a copy of the current commercial billing is included for
your review.
This rate increase would conservatively generate an additional $34,000
annually. This increase is needed in order to build a reserve and fund
needed improvements to our wastewater system.

IN REPLY REFER TO:
D-8FII
This is in reply to your August 8, 1989 letter asking consideration of your
June 22, 1989 request, and that of two businesses, to leave the Interstate 35
service road north of Farm to Market Road 455 two-way.
At a January 1985 public hearing, the State Department of Highways and Public
Transportation presented the plan for reconstructing the IH 35 freeway from
north of Denton to the Cook County Line. This plan included converting the
frontage roads from two-way to one-way operation in Sanger. We have reviewed
the basis of the decision to convert the frontage roads to one-way operation and
we still believe that this decision is the appropriate course of action.
As you know, we are currently constructing the highway project. The
construction plans have been prepared utilizing exit and entrance ramps designed
for one-way frontage roads. One-way frontage roads provide for a safer
operation at the ramp and frontage road interface and the safety of the
traveling public is the primary reason for the usage of one-way frontage roads.
We regret that we are unable to respond affirmatively to your request for
retention of the two-way frontage road operation after the reconstruction of
IH 35 is completed. We anticipate that the reconstruction will be complete in
the summer of 1990.
Sincerely,

NEWSLETTER Management and Administration
FOR CITY AND COUNTY OFFICIALS, SOLID WASTE MANAGERS AND INTERESTED PERSONS:
The following is a brief summary of'major legislation passed by the 71st Legislature that
will affect municipal solid waste management activities:
5B 151y - Mandates regional and local solid waste management clans and establishes a new
solid waste disposal fee system. However, the plans will not be mandatory until such time
as sufficient funds are accumulated by the Department to provide 50/50 matching grants to
regional planning agencies (COGS) and local governments. It is expected that the first
grants could be made in May or June 1990. TDH will issue rules for submitting grant
applications. In the meantime, COGs and local governments may have to develop interim
informal plans that do not require TDH approval in order to meet immediate needs for
regionalization of solid waste systems. The formal, more detailed, plans can be done after
grants are available. Grants cannot be made to cover expenses incurred for development of
the interim plans.
Beginning January 1. 199(1. TDH will charge each landfill operator a fee of 50 c
ton or 17 cents per compacted cubic yard or 10 cents per uncompacted cubic yard
that is landfilled. The fee for land application of sludge or similar wastes a
received at an incinerator or a shredding and composting facility shall be one.
fee for landfilled waste. No fee will be charged for transfer stations.
Based on the premise that each person generates about 5 pounds of waste per day or
approximately one ton per year (including his share of all commercial, recreational and
institutional waste in his community), the fee represents a cost of about 50 cents per
person per year -- part of which will be borne by the commercial, recreational and
institutional generators. Of the revenue collected by TDH, approximately one-half will
used to fund the permitting and enforcement program and related support activities and
balance will be used to (1) provide 50/50 matching grants for planning, (2) provide
technical assistance to local governments, (3) establish a solid waste resource center
an office of waste minimization and recycling, (4) conduct a statewide public awareness
program, (5) provide supplementary funding to local governments for enforcement of the
Solid Waste Disposal Act and Litter Abatement Act, (6) create a state municipal solid
waste superfund, and (7) conduct other programs that the Board of Health may consider
appropriate.
be
the
and
The current annual fees will terminate on December 31, 1989, and payment must be submitted
by March 31, 1990. The new fee system will begin on January 1, 1990, and fees will be
submitted on a quarterly basis -- the first payment will be due by May 15, 1990. Forms
for computing and submitting both fees will be sent by TDH. Permit application fees
will terminate on December 31, 1989.
SB 1518 - Exempts permit applications for landfills from the detailed review previously
performed by the Texas Air Control Board. Exemption in effect already.
- Exempts a recycling or waste separation facility from yermittir
fitted mt
facility. It must, however, be registered with TDH in accordance with rules to be
adopted.
The bill also authorizes TDH to exempt from permit requirements a transfer station that
serves a population of less than 5,000. A registration will be required in accordance
with rules to be adopted.

county where the violation occurs or the county where the defendant resides. It also
authorizes prevailing parries in a lawsuit (Attorney General or local government) to
recover reasonable attorney's fees, court costs, and investigative costs.
HB 2979 - Authorizes Class I nonhazardous industrial solid waste and smallquantities of
hazardous waste from conditionally exempt small quantity generators (who generate less
than 100 kilograms per month) to be accepted at municipal solid waste landfills if appro
by both TWC and TDH, or if exempted by rule by both agencies.
Rider 31. SB 222 (Appropriations Bill) - Appropriates $2.5 million for 50/50 matching
grants for mass -burn incinerators for cities and counties. Grants may not exceed $300,000
for any applicant.
With the exception of SB 1518 and SB 1511, all of the above bills require that TDH develop
rules for implementation. It is expected that proposed rules will be published for public
comment in October and adopted in final form in early December.
EPA's proposed "Subtitle D" landfill rules - It is expected that the rules will be adopted
about the end of December 1989 with an effective date of 18 months thereafter (about June
1991). However, EPA is considering an earlier effective date for some aspects of the
rules which can be implemented without a long lead time for planning -- such as record
keeping.
Open burning - Some small communities are still having problems finding an alternative for
open burning of solid waste by August 31, 1989. We had hoped that EPA would have provided
some exceptions in the Subtitle D rules but their publication has been delayed. We are
still trying to get an interim exception for a limited number of cases when certain strict
criteria are met. EPA also advises that Air Curtain Destructors (trench burners) are
still considered open burning and will not be authorized except for the burning of
diseased trees and wood wastes from disaster cleanup operations.
Type IV sites and Subtitle D - EPA advises that brush and construction/demolition waste
sites that also receive rubbish from commercial and residential activities will be
considered the same as Type I landfills and must comply with all of the requirements. It
appears that there may be two alternatives -- stop accepting rubbish or obtain a permit
amendment to convert the Type IV to a Type I site prior to the effective date.
Regional Planning Workshops - We•have conducted about 15 workshops this year to alert City
anA County elected officials of the expected impact of the Subtitle D rules, the
requirements of Sections 12 and 37 of the Texas Comprehensive Solid Waste Management,
Resource Recovery and Conservation Act (Art 4477-7c, VTCS) for all counties with a
population of 30,000 or more and all cities to assure that solid waste services are provide
to all of their inhabitants, and the consequent need for regional planning.
Unfortunately, very few of the decision makers showed up at the workshops. Any county or
city elected officials desiring a workshop in their region (3-4 hours), if one has not
already been held in that region, should contact their COG to make the arrangements. The
workshop will be held on a COGS w'de basis.
