Regular Council Meeting <br />June 10, 2013 <br />Page 7 <br />He also said it could be spent on widening the bridge and he thought that was more important <br />than the driveway. Council Member Frierson inquired about the cost of widening the bridge. <br />Mr. Godwin said it had not been looked at since he had been at the City. Council Member Drake <br />wanted to know how they could proceed if they wanted to add the bridge. Mr. Godwin said it <br />was more efficient to have a single contract and then do a change order. He said they could do a <br />deductive change order to take off the driveway and do an additive change order at a subsequent <br />meeting for the bridge. Council Member Grossnickle confirmed the stretch to be reconstructed <br />was from the bridge to Clarksville Street. He asked how KSA Engineers rated that stretch of the <br />street. Mr. Godwin said it wasn't considered by KSA, because when they began selecting <br />specific streets, the Council had already hired an engineer in February to do the design. He said <br />KSA assumed it was a priority street and did not evaluate it. Council discussed the need for <br />widening the street south of the creek. Mr. Godwin said they could let the deadline on bids <br />expire or reject the bids, they could revisit the project and give the engineer new instructions or <br />not, and they could rebid it. <br />A Motion to revisit this project at a later date and consider widening the bridge was made <br />by Council Member Wright and seconded by both Council Members Jenkins and Drake. Motion <br />carried, 7 ayes — 0 nays. <br />17. Appoint a Capital Improvements Review Committee. <br />Mayor Hashmi said he had placed this item on the agenda, but asked to withdraw it. He <br />said emphasis had been placed on how important it was to review the projects and confirmed that <br />the city manager would review all projects. <br />A Motion to allow withdrawal of the item was made by Mayor Hashmi and seconded by <br />Council Member Frierson. Motion carried, 7 ayes — 0 nays. <br />18. Discuss and approve RESOLUTION NO. 2013 -021: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY <br />COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PARIS, TEXAS, AUTHORIZING AND APPROVING <br />AN APPLICATION FOR AMENDMENT TO ITS CERTIFICATE OF <br />ADJUDICATION NO.02 -4940A WITH THE TEXAS COMMISSION ON <br />ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY TO ADD AN AGRICULTURAL PURPOSE OF USE <br />TO ALLOW THE CITY TO SELL EXCESS RAW WATER TO DAISY FARMS FOR <br />AGRICULTURAL PURPOSES AT DAISY FARMS COMMERCIAL DAIRY <br />LOCATED ON SH 19/24 AT FM 2036, LAMAR COUNTY, TEXAS; AUTHORIZING <br />THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE ALL NECESSARY DOCUMENTS; MAKING <br />OTHER FINDINGS AND PROVISIONS RELATED TO THE SUBJECT; AND <br />PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. <br />Mr. McIlyar said the City Council approved an excess raw water supply agreement <br />between the NextEra Energy (Lamar Power Partners), Daisy Farms and the City whereby Daisy <br />could purchase up to 3 million gallons per day or raw water off of the unused capacity allocated <br />to Lamar Power Partners. He explained that an application would need to be filed to amend the <br />
