Goal: Educate, inform, and advise the Paris City Council and citizens of Lamar County as to the best long -range commitment of its water resources. Key Deliverables: 1- Total amount of water available to the community. 2- Amount of water required for local consumption, contractual obligations, reserves, and future needs (current through 2050). 3- Recommendation of additional wafer resources to explore in order to expand our supply base. 4- Routine communications to keep city council and community informed of key learning and progress. Necessary Work Tasks: Develop timely and supportable data about the City's water supply capacity. • Review and reach a general understanding of information available (i.e. briefing books) by May 29. • Hold an initial consultation with Jim Matthews to develop a better understanding of legal issues including water rights issuance and cancellation, transbasin diversions, Red River Compact, return flows, storage contracts, and any other issues he may feel initially appropriate, by May 29. A preliminary list of committee questions for Jim would be to Shawn by May 20th. • Receive information from City staff as to current and future costs to City for the raw water and Pat Mayse facilities by May 15th. • City Council will retain engineering consultant by May 12th. Initial consultant presentation to committee on May 29th. Initial presentation should focus on introductions and proposed scope, and a coordinated scope with Irving's consultants should be presented to the committee. • Identify each possible source of water supply. Initially these would include: Current Pat Mayse allocation. Receive TWDB volumetric study elevation- area - capacity table by September 15th.Review at September 25 committee meeting. Receive consultants opinion of Pat Mayse safe yield by October 9 meeting. Current Lake Crook allocation.
