Mr. Higgs stated <br /> the City of Kerrville purchased the substation facilities from LCRA, <br /> and it has wòrked out well for them. They did not purchase the land <br /> but have a 20-year lease on the land. Their facilities are not <br /> similar to ours, and they have trained their own employee to <br /> maintain the facilities (Ms. Kissler left the meeting at this time - <br /> 2:30 p.m.). Mr. Saffer stated if the city of San Marcos buys the <br /> facilities, he recommends the City also purchase the land. Mr. Kahn <br /> stated the option is to purchase the facilities, and there is no <br /> deadline to purchase the property, but the City has the option to do <br /> both. Mr. Kahn stated he believes LCRA would provide an extension <br /> of time to determine the cost of the land. If the City does not <br /> exercise its option by the end of October on the facilities, we <br /> would be giving up our option to purchase the facilities at the cost <br /> now being offered. Mr. Gilley stated the City has approximately $1 <br /> million designated for the purchase of the substations, but has <br /> sufficient fund balance to cover the purchase. <br /> SMEU BOARD RECOMMENDATION: Ms. Borm introduced for consideration a <br /> recommendation to the city council regarding the purchase of LCRA <br /> Transformers.
