PEDC Board Meeting Minutes June 29, 2018 Page 2 of 4 Discuss and_pa ssibl w a rove Minutes_ of the Mai 25 M2018 Monthly Meeting. Mr. Manning asked if the Board had any corrections to the May 25, 2018 minutes. No changes to the minutes were requested. Mr. Banks made a motion to accept the minutes as presented. Mr. Hamill seconded the motion. Vote was 4 -ayes to 0 -nays. Discuss andossibl ma .grove Ma 2018 Financials. Mr. Hernandez told the Board there was nothing unusual in the financials. He pointed out the $5,900.00 paid to Alpha Testing and Mr. Paris said that this was for the geo-technical testing in the northwest corner of the Business Park. Mr. Paris also directed everyone's attention to the land purchase of $208,896.59 for the old Superior Switch site. The land purchase was approved by both the PEDC and the City Council at earlier meetings. Mr. Hamill made a motion to accept the May 2018 financials. Mr. Banks seconded the motion. Vote was 4 -ayes to 0 -nays. Discuss as consum at tion with Charle Lewis of Atmos Enei gy, Mr. Paris gave a brief background on why this is on the agenda. We have a spreadsheet with the variances of the PEDC gas bill. The bill we questioned was for $1277.33 due in February 2018. When this bill was received we asked Atmos Energy to check the building for any leaks. No leaks were found. We asked that Atmos come to our Board meeting to address the issue. Jan Rugg, Manager of Public Affairs and Beth Dattomo, Public Affairs Manager in our area with Atmos Energy came to discuss the gas consumption. Ms. Rugg stated that her background was with the billing at Atmos. She pointed out that we had a much colder winter than we normally do. Mr. Lewis shared with Ms. Rugg a bit about our building; other businesses housed with us and that all the gas used is through one meter. Ms. Rugg had suggested budget billing, but found that it is not available for businesses. Mr. Manning asked if there was a way to check what each business is consuming in gas. Ms. Rugg compared our building to three houses on one meter; the only way to compare what each entity uses in gas is by applying the square footage of each to calculate the percentage used. She asked if each business could be on a separate meter, but this would need to go before City Council and could be costly. Ms. Portugal asked if the two entities that are only open a few days a week are leaving the heat on when they are closed. Also, is there a way to turn their units off? Mr. Paris answered that the three entities should all be participating in paying the bills. The PEDC is paying these bills with public money. Ms. Rugg commented that our building is an historic building with single pane glass, no draperies, no insulation in the building, and water heaters turned too high. Mr. Paris said our take away on this is that we should be having an open dialogue with the other entities. Ms. Rugg asked that we think of Atmos as our partner and we can call them anytime. Mr. Hamill asked if Atmos keeps track of the weather conditions each day of the year for comparison. Ms. Rugg stated that Atmos keeps detailed records of the weather. He commented on what Ms. Rugg stated about when Atmos costs go up those costs are passed on to the customer. The next question he had was if the costs between 2017 and 2018 had gone up. Ms. Rugg stated that she was not sure if those costs went up. Mr. Banks asked about the "Do Not Estimate" list and if we could request to be on the list. The Board thanked the Atmos representatives for answering their questions. Discuss and g2§§jhL#UjroLe the Results Com an r Incentive Addendum. Mr. Paris said during the last Board meeting we viewed the Results Company employment numbers. We saw the company missed their employment numbers, but exceeded their hourly pay rate. The Board asked for an addendum to the contract so the payment would be made. Ms. Harris asked the Board to turn to PEDC Board Meeting Minutes June 29, 2018 Page 3 of 4 page two of the addendum. Looking at the paragraph you will see the changes made so that Results Company is in compliance with the contract. Mr. Banks made a motion to approve the Results Company addendum. Mr. Hernandez seconded the motion. Vote was 4 -ayes to 0 -nays. Discuss Site Preparedness of 20 acre Parcel in NW Business Park. Mr. Paris stated we have learned that our industrial sites need to be ready before being marketed. The 20 - acre site in the Business Park is shovel -ready with the infrastructure, the geo-technical, and the phase one work all completed. For the next three to six months we will be advertising the availability of this site ready property. Executive Director's onthl a LqiEt.

Carla Easton, City Engineer states that TXDOT is planning to declare the contractor on the new hangar construction project in default because they have a handful of items thm were on their punch list months ago incomplete.

TXDOT has indicated that they are going to accept the hanger as it is and declare the contractor in default on the remaining items like the dirt piles they were built starting upstream and the downstream stays wet etc. The contractor does not plan to come back to finish. The bonding company will probably be on the hook for those remaining items. TXDOT contractors will be responsible for doing it but they haven" given that over to the City yet.

They currently own a tract of land at the west end of Boulder Lane. The property is NOT in the City Limits of the City of Paris. However, the City of Paris Subdivision Regulations apply within the City's Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ). STATUS OF ISSUE: The Cunningham's are proposing to add five additional lots to the Stone Ridge Subdivision. This five lot addition will require Boulder Lane to be extended as well as water lines, sewer lines and some channel improvements. It appears that the preliminary plat complies with the City of Paris subdivision regulations with the following exceptions: Provide drainage calculations for overall drainage basin and proposed storm sewers or graded channels Provide drainage easements for channelized surface drainage, and provide a grading plan to accommodate flows from developable lots Show any trees to be removed Label the Street Right -of -Way, it currently shoves 60 -feet with no description John Lee asked if the preliminary plat is including Boulder Lane to connect due to this being a long way to have to come to a dead end if emergency vehicles need to get to that last house on the street. Carla Easton advised the master plat shows a loop coming down and connecting to 47'` Street but as it is now with this phase there will be a knuckle to serve as the cul de sac. Motion was made by Keith Flowers, seconded by John Lee to approve the Preliminary Plat subject to City Engineer noted revisions. 14. 1feeting adjourned at 5:38p. m.
