(10) removed from the consensus agenda, adoption of a Resolution, the caption which was read as follows: , A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS, TEXAS, APPROVING AMENDMENT NO.2 TO THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE GUADALUPE-BLANCO RIVER AUTHORITY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A REGIONAL SURFACE WATER PROJECT; AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THIS AMENDMENT ON BEHALF OF THE CITY; AND DECLARING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Mr. Cox moved for adoption of the Resolution and Mr. Hart seconded the motion. Mr. Cox stated this would be an opportunity to inform the community of the status of this project. Mrs. Huffman advised the Council had approved a partnership agreement with GBRA in April for a surface water project to bring water from Canyon Lake to San Marcos where there would be a surface water treatment plant with subsequent agreements to include cost allocations, who would build each of the component parts and GBRA's responsibilities with regard to regional partners. That agreement timeline elapsed this month and needs to be extended to allow time to detail specifically how we are going to allocate cost of the treatment plant to GBRA and how GBRA will charge its customers and the City for capacity in the pipeline. A determination has not yet been made who the regional partners for the pipeline and plant will be, as GBRA has not contracted with anyone identified initially. There will still be a partnership for the pipeline and plant, and HDR has begun engineering on the pipeline on behalf of GBRA. The City is in the process of acquiring a site for the location of the surface water treatment plant and our design engineers are designing a 6 MGD plant for the treatment of our surface water. The City and GBRA are . working closely to make sure the two projects will be compatible. The City will be the major customer of the pipeline regardless if others participate. GBRA will determine to oversize the line to provide capacity for additional partners and bear that cost. Mr. Guerra queried if this agreement deals only with the pipeline and not a reservoir, and Mrs. Huffman advised that is correct, the reservoir will be a part of the City's design process with the treatment plant. The Council then voted unanimously for adoption of the Resolution.
