environmental studies which could easily take five to six years to complete.

Our next steps include a presentation by HDR of potential population and water use <br />projections at our meeting on July 24h. In addition we will continue to monitor progress on <br />the TWDB survey of Pat Mayse and continue to develop information on the City's current <br />available resources. The City of Irving will make a presentation to the committee on Irving's <br />needs and objectives at our meeting on August 7th. <br />The Council should be aware that our current budget and timeframe are very limited. While <br />we currently believe that the $160,000 budget provided by Irving for studies will allow us to <br />reach our objectives, it will not allow the committee to pursue strategies of marginal value. <br />Our current schedule calls for completion of the work and a recommendation to the Council <br />by the end of the year. However, this is dependent upon our engineering and legal <br />consultant's ability to analyze Pat Mayse within a short timeframe after the TWDB report is <br />received. It may be advisable to extend the deadline for two to three months to allow more <br />time for discussion and absorption of these calculations. <br />4 <br />• UOU01.~ <br />
