In the past,CCMA has only provided wastewater transport and treatment,not collection. Collection systems are owned and developed by the municipalities. Expansion is generally accomplished by developers who are required to connect to the system,but their financial burden is eased by trading impact fees for the cost of construction. If impact fees are insufficient to cover the cost,either the developer or the municipality must cover the difference. Examination shows that Cibolo is already collecting impact fees for the development of a line up Town Creek,so that would have to be adjusted in any arrangement with CCMA to construct that line. Ron Flake suggested Cibolo develop an overall sewer plan that will provide both for the development of areas where sewer is not available,and existing City areas that are not currently on sewer. Tom Newman expressed his concern that if an ordinance or stipulation specifies allowing something,it becomes very difficult to justify denying it. The existing ordinance already allows the City to accept any variation the City feels is beneficial. Council recognized the need for coordination with CCMA to develop a sewer infrastructure,and advised passing any pertinent information to P&Z XIV. DISCUSSION/ACTION ON REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING FOR 11/11/97 Council discussed rescheduling the regular City Council Meeting due to November 11 being a federal holiday. Council decided to leave the meeting as scheduled,with the option of rescheduling the staff s holiday if desired. XV. COMMENTS BY COUNCIL MEMBERS Gail Douglas inquired if Schertz had ever been paid for the 1987 sewer line repair at Dietz Road. Tom Newman reported that he would meet with Mr.Kerry Sweatt on that issue on 10/29/97. His research indicates that Cibolo has already paid its entire commitment to Shertz,but he would be seeking a final resolution that was acceptable to both sides. XVI. COMMENTS BY STAFF Tom Newman reported that the City pay period adjustment was done,and Kirk Timke's last work day would be 10/30/97. Letters to Editors were sent to The Seguin Gazette,the Herald,and the NE Sun to correct any misperceptions by our citizens based on what the papers reported regarding the City's involvement in the Dietz Road project. A letter was sent to Green Valley SUD rejecting a water rate increase due to it not being included in our budget process,and the lack of a cost study showing the need. Tom Newman will attend training on election requirements,and other training will be planned for each of the Public Works employees to attain their required D-licenses,and to prepare the Administrative Assistant to handle Court requirements. City is exploring a joint effort with the VFD to certify one of the volunteers to do fire inspections,and they will do City inspections in the future. Wes Suiter informed Council that he had received 21 employment applications and expects to have a good choice. Keith Gilbreath reported radios have been installed in the vehicles,and some minor antenna problems have been solved. The new system has a great range and is working very well. XVII.
