City Council Meeting Minutes June 16, 2020 A motion was made by Council Member Baker, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Mihalkanin, to approve Resolution 2020-118R. Council Member Baker stated it is important to highlight when we see big budgetary changes that the community understands where that cost difference is coming from. Some of this flooding seems like it came after the development in that area, hopefully the new Development Code keeps us from seeing these after the fact stormwater projects that we have played catch up with. Rey Garcia, Senior Engineer for the City of San Marcos, stated this project started with a preliminary engineering report and there are some proposed improvements and we are currently applying for a Texas Water Development Board application in order to receive construction funds. This is fully funded from the drainage utility, but we are gearing it towards where we can utilize the Texas Water Development Board funding. With regard to future development, the Land Development Code states that we look at fully developed conditions. We will recognize in future developments upstream that we are mitigating the conveyance of those flows. Council Member Baker asked if this project will only convey water to the Blanco River or does it also have some detention qualities? Mr. Garcia stated there is infiltration testing being done and this project is a combination of detention and water quality. The motion carried by the following vote: For: 7 - Council Member Derrick, Mayor Hughson, Mayor Pro Tem Mihalkanin, Council Member Marquez, Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Rockeymoore, Council Member Baker and Council Member Gonzales Against: 0 10. Consider approval of Resolution 2020-119R, approving a professional services agreement with Jones and Carter for engineering services relating to the Dunbar Utility Improvements project in the estimated amount of $311,094.00; authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute the agreement on behalf of the City; and declaring an effective date. A motion was made by Council Member Baker, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Mihalkanin, to approve Resolution 2020-119R. Mayor Hughson asked when is the earliest start date for this project and does it relate to the to the Hopkins Street project, she wants to ensure these projects do not overlap.
