Seeing none wishing to speak for or against the item, she closed the public hearing. Councilmember Leigh asked if language could be added to the signage which lets the public know that this is an EPA requirement, and not a City requirement. Mrs. Points said that can be accomplished. Councilmember Paul Sanderford asked if the requirements of the policy would apply retroactively. Mrs. Points explained that the requirements are not retroactive except for City-owned drainage structures. Upon a motion by Councilmember John Holmes, Sr. and a second by Councilmember Leigh, the following captioned resolution was approved upon a vote of 6-0. RESOLUTION NO. 2017-22-R A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BELTON, TEXAS, ADOPTING A REVISED STRATEGIC DRAINAGE PLAN. 5. Hold a public hearing and consider an ordinance adopting the 2015 International Fire Code. Fire Chief Bruce Pritchard explained that the Fire Department is currently seeking "Best Practices Recognition" through the Texas Fire Chiefs Association, and adoption of the latest Fire Code is a requirement. He said he supported the code change that will be presented by Fire Marshal Jeff Booker. Mr. Booker explained that the International Fire Code (IFC) establishes rules and regulations for fire prevention and safety. The City of Belton currently operates under the 2009 International Fire Code, and he added that area cities have adopted the 2015 International Fire Code. He reviewed three noted changes the Fire Department desires when adopting the 2015 IFC. These include: (1) removal of the requirement for occupant-use hose lines, as the Fire Department will provide its own hoses; (2) artwork and educational materials in classrooms may only cover 50% of the walls unless fire retardant paper is used; and (3) in theaters, auditoriums and similar assemblies, an audible announcement shall be made not more than 10 minutes prior to the start of each program to notify the occupants of the location of the exits to be used in the event of a fire or other emergency. Booker said that the City updates the Fire Code approximately every six years, and it is time to adopt this update. Mayor Grayson opened the public hearing. Seeing none wishing to speak for or against the item, she closed the public hearing. Upon a motion by Mayor Pro Tern Craig Pearson and a second by Councilmember Dan Kirkley, the following captioned ordinance was approved upon a vote of 6-0. Belton City Council Meeting July 11, 2017 - Page 4 ORDINANCE NO. 2017-17 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BELTON, TEXAS, AMENDING CHAPTER 6, ARTICLE II OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF BELTON DEALING WITH THE "FIRE CODE"; PROVIDING A SAVINGS CLAUSE; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE; PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; AND PROVIDING AN OPEN MEETINGS CLAUSE. Planning and Zoning 6. Continue consideration of a replat for Burnet South Addition, Phase II, a 0.759 acre tract of land, located on the west side of South Burnet Street, generally south of 1st Avenue and north of Avenue B. Director of Planning Erin Smith said that this 3-lot subdivision is proposed as Burnet South Addition, Phase II. This property is currently one lot, and the applicant is proposing to replat this 0.759 acre lot into three separate lots. The property currently contains a mobile home. The applicant has stated that the mobile home will be moved to one of the lots, and the other two lots will be for additional development. Mrs. Smith explained that the applicant has submitted a variance letter requesting to waive the perimeter street improvement requirements. She reminded the Council that this item was tabled at their June 27, 2017, meeting, and they requested cost estimates for including ribbon curbing along this development. Smith provided a video view of the street along the proposed development. She said that there is no curb and gutter along the street, and noted that there are portions of the roadway where the edges are deteriorating. Mrs. Smith stated that Staff has three alternatives for the Council to consider. They are: Alternative No. 1 - a variance for all perimeter street improvements. Alternative No. 2 - full compliance with the Subdivision Ordinance's perimeter street improvements which includes 18-inch ribbon curb and mill/overlay on half of the street to the new curb line at an estimated cost of $20,652. Alternative No. 3 - a partial perimeter street improvement for both Phase I and 11, which includes 18-inch ribbon curb with proper base and street edge extension, for a total for both phases of $17,000 (Phase I= $3,905 and Phase II= $13,095). Mrs. Smith said that Staff is recommending Alternative No. 3. The applicant's engineer, Lina Chtay of Belton Engineering, said she would answer any questions from the Council. Councilmember Leigh asked her what she thought Belton City Council Meeting July 11, 2017 - Page 5 of the alternatives. She responded that the applicant would prefer Alternative No.1 because the other alternatives make the project cost prohibitive. Councilmember Kirkley said that he drove the entire area after the last Council meeting. He said that he is concerned about the lack of affordable housing in Belton, and he added that he's afraid that "we are ordinancing ourselves out of housing that is affordable." He said on his drive in the area, he noticed a very small percentage of streets with curb and gutter. He thinks Alternative No. 1 is the best alternative in this situation. Mayor Pro Tern Craig Pearson agreed with Councilmember Kirkley. He said that these streets are on a plan for improvement, but that plan is not funded at this time. He said he understands the concern about "who pays" for the improvement, but he does not want to miss the opportunity to develop some affordable housing in infill areas. He added that he thinks it is time to review the City's ordinance to include some stipulation that allows infill housing with reduced requirements. Councilmember Leigh asked if the properties will be sold or rented. The applicant, Larry Guess of the Better Belton Foundation, said that the properties are being developed to sell. Mr. Leigh said his concern is that the City is adding street improvement costs that must be funded by the City when developers should be paying for those improvements at the time development occurs. He said that, at a minimum, a ribbon curb should be included to protect the edge of the street. Mr. Guess said that if a curb is installed where the curb will need to be when the street is widened, then the street will also need to be paved at this time as well because five feet of roadway will be missing. He said that the Better Belton Foundation will be glad to connect the driveways and clean up the edge of the pavement. Councilmember Kirkley said the City's inventory of vacant, unused infill properties will continue to grow if developers who desire to build affordable housing are unable to afford to do so. Mayor Grayson said the ordinance could be changed to say that infill housing that develops on streets with curb and gutter will require curb and gutter, and infill housing that develops on streets without curb and gutter will not require curb and gutter. She said she would be in favor of Alternative No. 1 at this time, and then work on the ordinance. Councilmember Leigh said there are two reasons the pavement will fail: (1) people drive on the edge, and (2) water runs along the edge. He asked if the improvements can be designed in such a way that this failure is minimized. He added that with the increased number of houses, it puts an increased load on the street, and that becomes a cost burden to the entire city instead of the 2-3 homeowners who utilize the street regularly. Leigh said he struggles with the fairness in that situation, and he does not want to set a precedent. Belton City Council Meeting July 11, 2017- Page 6 City Manager Sam Listi asked Director of Public Works Angellia Points to address concerns of City Staff regarding construction of the ribbon curb adjacent to the existing pavement. Mrs. Points said that Staff's general concern is the pavement that currently exists will be removed because the street will be widened when it is reconstructed . She said that Mr. Guess has stated that he is willing to clean-up the edges of the pavement between the driveways, and she felt that would be a good alternative to help with the pavement deterioration. Councilmember Kirkley made a motion to approve the replat of Burnet South Addition, Phase II, with a variance for perimeter street improvements (Alternative No. 1), but requiring the driveways to be constructed of concrete and for the driveways to be connected with an 8-inch ribbon curb with reinforced steel, adjacent to the existing pavement according to the City of Belton standards. The motion was seconded by Mayor Pro Tern Pearson, and was approved upon a vote of 6-0. 7. Consider an ordinance abandoning a portion of a sanitary sewer easement located within the Red Rock Hills Subdivision and the Law Addition. Director of Planning Erin Smith explained that, in 2001, a portion of the Red Rock Hills sanitary sewer line easement was abandoned when it was determined that a new alignment was required to prevent conflict with existing trees behind homes in the Red Rock Hills subdivision. When two of the lots were replatted into the Law Addition in 2000, the plat showed that the remaining sanitary sewer easement was "To Be Abandoned ," and would be recorded through a separate instrument. She said that after researching files at the County Clerk's Office and the Appraisal District, as well as City files, a recording of such instrument could not be located. She added that recently, a realtor contacted the Planning Department regarding the sale of one of the lots in the Law Addition. The potential buyer desires to build a pool in the backyard, and the realtor noticed that there is still a sanitary sewer easement across the property reflected on the plat. The Appraisal District could not locate a recording document for the abandoned easement, so Staff believes it did not occur as intended. The proposed ordinance is the instrument necessary to abandon the remaining sanitary sewer easement which is no longer needed by the City since the sewer line was constructed to the south, along the property line. Upon a motion by Councilmember Leigh and a second by Mayor Pro Tern Pearson, the following captioned ordinance was approved upon a vote of 6-0. ORDINANCE NO. 2017-18 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BELTON, TEXAS, PROVIDING THAT A PORTION OF A CERTAIN SANITARY SEWER EASEMENT IN THE RED ROCK HILLS SUBDIVISION, PHASE 1, AND IN THE LAW ADDITION TO THE CITY OF BELTON, TEXAS, BE CLOSED, ABANDONED AND VACATED. Belton City Council Meeting July 11, 2017 - Page 7 F2018 Budget 8. Receive presentations on the proposed Water and Sewer budget for FY 2018, including: A. Financial Summary (see Exhibit "A") B. Operations (see Exhibit "B") A. Director of Finance Brandon Bozon presented a financial summary of the Water and Sewer Fund showing that the beginning fund balance proposed at 10/1/17 is estimated at $6.08M. The proposed FY2018 budget includes a small increase to the fund balance. The City's Fiscal Policy requires that the City maintain three months of operating expenses in addition to the annual debt service. The projected fund balance in excess of the required minimum is $2,898,396. Water sales are up, and Mr. Bozon estimates that there will be $4.7M in water sales this year. Sewer revenues are also up from last year and are projected to be on budget as well. Mr. Bozon presented the proposed FY2018 rates that resulted from the 2015 Utility Rate Study. Mr. Bozon presented a comparison of City of Belton utility rates to other similar sized entities' rates. Belton's rates are comparable to the rates for cities our size with both the water and sewer rates being slightly below the average. Rates will increase $0.50 in the base rates of both water and sewer for a total impact of $6 per year for water only customers or $12 per year for water and sewer customers. Councilmember Leigh asked how Belton rates compare with the neighboring cities. Mr. Bozon said he will research that information and provide it to the Council soon. Mr. Bozon gave an overview of the expenditures for FY2017 and the proposed budget for FY2018. The budget includes replacement of an F-150 and an F-250. Mr. Bozon said that the Water Meter Replacement Plan is fully funded at $221,688. He added that the FY2018 contribution covers 2018 and the 2017 under contribution. He said that the plan will cost an estimated $153,00 per year moving forward. Bozon also discussed the following capital outlay expenditures ($950,000): • Small line replacements/upgrades Belton City Council Meeting July 11, 2017 - Page 8 • SCADA system upgrade • "Cushion" for debt funded projects Debt funded capital projects include: • Wastewater Treatment Plant- Phase II • Waco Road Sewer • Main Lift Main Replacements • Issuance Cost The Bell County WCID related debt is nearing retirement, and the FY2018 debt issuance assumptions include: • $8.625M twenty-year Certificate of Obligation at 4% interest • Debt service costs to complement existing schedule; increase in FY2029 Councilmember Leigh asked if the sale of effluent water from the Wastewater Treatment Plant to Panda Energy affects the Water and Sewer Fund. Mr. Bozon said that it is considered a sale of City assets, so the revenue from the sale is in the General Fund . B. Director of Public Works Angellia Points presented the mission, accomplish- ments and goals for the Public Works Department which includes Utility Administration, Water, Sewer, and Lift Stations in the Water and Sewer Fund. Councilmember Leigh asked why the water sales were up given the wet spring. Mr. Bozon said that although there have been several rainy days, there have also been several hot, dry days. Mr. Leigh wondered if it could also be higher due to the number of new apartment complexes that have opened. Mr. Bozon offered to research and provide the data. No action was required by the Council on this item. 9. Receive a presentation on the proposed Drainage budget for FY 2018. Director of Finance Brandon Bozon presented a financial summary of the Drainage Fund showing that the beginning fund balance proposed at 10/1 /17 is estimated at $267,121. The FY2018 budget proposes to spend into the fund balance by $98,838 in order to cover additional costs needed to replace a street sweeper. The City's Fiscal Policy requires that the City maintain three months of operating expenses in addition to the annual debt service. The projected fund balance in excess of the required minimum is $72,585. Mr. Bozon said that the budget is not balanced at this time. An increase to the residential drainage fee of $2 is proposed in the FY2018 budget to help fund the street sweeper estimated to cost $250,000. He added that the fee has not been Belton City Council Meeting July 11, 2017 - Page 9 increased since its inception in 2009. Even with the fee increase, Belton's residential rate is still less than the neighboring cities. FY2018 goals for Drainage include: • Reshape the channel and detention pond for Dawson Ranch and Red Rock Hills. • Adopt a Strategic Drainage Plan. • Implement the revised Design Manual. Mayor Grayson clarified that the street sweeper is not to keep Belton beautiful, but it is used to remove debris before it can enter the City's drainage system. Mayor Pro Tern Pearson said he continues to see landscaping companies and residents blowing grass into the street. He asked if it was just a matter of education that yard clippings do not belong in the street. Mrs. Points said that it is a matter education and monitoring. Councilmember Sanderford asked if there is an ordinance that Staff can point to for regulating yard clippings. Mrs. Points said that enforcement would be mainly through our permits and the best practices that have been adopted by the department. Chief Ellis said that there is no recourse for enforcement. Councilmember Leigh and Manager Listi both said that the subject was something that has been discussed in the past, but no specific ordinance has been developed. Councilmember Leigh asked about the personnel portion of the budget. He wondered if the $400 increase in budget for personnel was correct, and if it included a merit increase. He asked for information on how personnel are budgeted. Mr Bozon said three dedicated personnel are budgeted 100% in the Drainage Fund. Other support personnel are budgeted at a percentage of their actual salary costs. He added that there has also been turnover in the department which allows for a smaller increase. No action was required by the Council on this item. Councilmember Kirkley left the meeting at 6:40 p.m. 10. Receive presentations from the following City departments concerning their mission, annual accomplishments and goals: A. Police B. Fire C. Planning & Inspections D.

Councilmember Leigh asked about the sidewalk maintenance that the City is performing along FM439, a State-owned roadway. Mrs. Points said that the City has an interlocal agreement with TxDOT that establishes sidewalk maintenance as a responsibility of the City. No action was required by the Council on this item. There being no further business, the Mayor adjourned the meeting at 7:20 p.m. ATTEST: Amy M.

EXHIBIT "B" Public Works Department WATER AND SEWER FUND Belton Water and Sewer Facts Belton Water Facts  Belton water is provided by contract with BCWCID #1 from Lake Belton.  Belton owns the rights to 8,566 acre feet of water, which is equivalent to approximately 2.8 billion gallons. Over the last five years, Belton has purchased an average of 1 billion gallons per year.  Average daily water demand is 2.95 MGD (June 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017).  Peak demand day was August 8, 2016 with a usage of 5.86 MGD.  A single 21” water transmission line extends from Lake Belton, down Sparta Road, to serve Belton’s water customers, and can deliver 8 MGD.  As we regularly begin using 6 MGD – 7 MGD in water, we will need to plan a second pipeline for delivery of water to Belton.  Emergency connections are possible with 439 WSC and CTWSC. A feasibility study was performed to determine if an emergency connection to Temple was feasible. Instead of a connection with Temple, a second pipeline for water delivery from BCWCID is recommended. Belton Sewer Facts  100% of Belton’s sewer is sent to the Temple-Belton Wastewater Treatment plant, jointly owned with City of Temple.  Temple contributes 75% of the total flow to the plant and Belton contributes 25%. This determines the cost share between the two cities.  Plant is permitted to treat 10 MGD on annual average and 30 MGD for peak flows.  Over the past 12 months, the annual average flow was 1.75 MGD (Belton) & 6.94 MGD (combined) and the highest flow of 6.24 MGD (Belton) and 29.48 MGD (combined) occurred on April 11, 2017.  The plant is under design to replace the headworks, increase the capacity, and address odor.
