Mayor Craddock introduced a discussion on the update on the Package Sewage Treatment Plant. City Manager Gonzalez stated that we were proceeding with Freese and Nichols preparing plans for the Package Plant. He stated that he had received an additional 500 LUE's which would make a total of 4500 for hookups for a two year period. He said they were currently looking at ways to develop alternatives for water treatment in the Cottonwood area. The next step is to work out with the City Attorney's office a letter of agreement which will indicate the conditions under which the arrangement of the program will follow. City Manager Gonzalez hopes to go out to bid in approximately two months. Mayor Craddock introduced a discussion regarding Article VII of Appendix C of the Code of Ordinances (Subdivision Ordinance). City Attorney Hankins stated that this section of the Code of Ordi- nances had to do with how we pay for oversizing water and sewer lines and other types of public improvements where we require oversizing. He stated that at the present time the system that is used is where the City reimburses the builder or contractor that is paying for the oversizing the difference between what the cost of what he needed verses what the City wants him to have based on the Master Plan. We pay that according to the Ordinance within a year. City Attorney Hankins suggests that the City of San Marcos follow the City of Austin's plan where the developer is to pay the cost of the oversize and within a certain period of time (within three years) the developer is reimbursed for that difference between what was required for the development and the oversized line that was actually put in.
