ACTION REQUESTED: Water Facility Review and Discussion
BACKGROUND: At the December 8, 2016 City Council meeting, the Council
reviewed three options for the water facility that may be included
with the new recreation center project. The Council gave direction
to proceed with the third option, but to review alternatives of this
option as it relates to swim meets.
The third option had an indoor lap swim area along with outdoor
pool and splash pad features. The concept designs included in this
packet are for discussion purposes to allow the Committee and
Council to provide further direction to staff for this portion of the
project. Formal design will be completed through the design
process of which the funding for this portion will come through the
funding of the full project.
More detailed information regarding size, cost to build, and cost to
operate will be outlined in a presentation to Committee at this
meeting.
FINANCIAL
CONSIDERATION: Funding for the full project has been directed by Council to be
provided through a GRT bond in an amount of $18 million. A larger
facility will require more funds and/or limitations on the outdoor
portion of the water facility. Additionally, operating expenses will
vary based on the ratio of indoor to outdoor space and the size of
the facility.
LEGAL REVIEW: Not applicable.
BOARD AND
COMMITTEE ACTION: Discuss water facility general direction and intended use. This is a
non-action item.
STAFF
RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.

ACTION REQUESTED: Water Line Failure at Nancy Lopez Golf Course at Spring River
BACKGROUND: A Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) on the 36" concrete cylinder water
main, which runs south-north through the golf course, broke open
north of Wyoming and 4th St. the week of December 19, 2016.
The timeline on the repair is expected to be: the flow will be shut
off for 3 weeks, the PRV will be repaired in week 4, and, as we
have to wait for delivery of the valve, the valve should be installed
by week 12.
FINANCIAL
CONSIDERATION: Emergency procurement procedures will have to be utilized to
resolve this issue. A quote on the cost is pending.
LEGAL REVIEW: Not applicable.
BOARD AND
COMMITTEE ACTION: Receive an update on the status of the water line failure at the
Nancy Lopez Golf Course at Spring River.
STAFF
RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.

December 20, 2016
Update from Louis Najar:
A Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) on the 36" concrete cylinder water main which runs south-north
in the golf course, has broken open inside the golf course just north of Wyoming and 4th St.
The pressure relief valve is designed to open up and relieve pressure in the 36" water main and
once pressure relief has occurred, then the valve is to close. The pressure is relieved by letting
air and water out which has a drain pipe to the normally dry Spring River. In this case the valve
opened and did not close and the relief valve continues to send water into the Spring River.
To add to the situation, the 36" butterfly valves located upstream and downstream will not
completely close. This will require "line stops" to shut off the flow to the Pressure Relieve Valve
(PRV). There is only one company in New Mexico that does line stops in New Mexico and West
Texas. That company is Pipeline Solutions which is part of JH Services in Albuquerque NM.
Pipeline Solutions and JH Services were in town yesterday to evaluate the situation.
Contractors were able to slow down the flow from the PRV, which has slowed the amount of
water flowing into the Spring River.
Course of Action:
1. This is an emergency repair situation and only 1 company can perform the work in this state.
A determination letter from City Purchasing Agent needs to be processed and associated
procedures to procure JH Services to perform repair.
2. 36" Line Stops (two) need to be installed to cut off flow on both sides to PRV. This will take 3
weeks for line stop parts and installation. What is a line stop? A supersized clamp, then you
drill the top of the concrete cylinder pipe install valve vanes that will close 1 time and open 1
time, then you abandon the line stop in place in the open position so flow will continue.
3. 2- 36" valves and approximately 200' of 36" ductile pipe will be installed to allow future
ability to turn off and isolate the PRV in the future. 36" butterfly valves typically take 10-12
weeks delivery.
4. Perform PRV repairs.
5. Cost is estimated $250K. JH Services is preparing formal quote, which will be reviewed and
forwarded to Purchasing.
Quick timeline recap. 3 weeks the flow will be shut off, 4th week the PRV will be repaired. By
12th week pending 36" valve delivery, the repair process will be completed.
Please see pictures of new water features at the golf course and picture of a 42" line stop that
was put in approximately 2010 on a 42" water main at S. Main/Chisum. This was also
performed by JH Services. Please note the size of equipment and trenching required. The line
stop clamp is installed around the pipe, then backfilled to hold the clamp for safety, then the
drilling head (pictured) to cut into pipe and install the valve vanes.

economic activity that augments the city’s current visitor attraction businesses;
Whereas, the film industry in New Mexico contributed a direct economic impact to the
State’s economy of $340 million in 2015 and has already contributed $150 million to the State’s
economy in the first quarter of 2016;
Whereas, there are talented citizens in Roswell who are involved in film or film
education who can, with the assistance of the Roswell-Chaves County Economic Development
Corporation, form the FilmRoswell Board and directly support the development of the film
industry in Roswell;
Whereas, the New Mexico Film Office relies on a local contact person, designated by the
City as the Film Liaison to supply local information for a variety of film industry activities to
attract film production to New Mexico; and
Whereas, the person designated as the Film Liaison does not engender potential
conflicts of interest, can work closely with local permitting and public safety authorities, and
who can serve as a repository of local photography, locations, and other filming needs.
Now therefore, be it resolved, that the Governing Body of the City of Roswell, New Mexico
recognizes the creation of the FilmRoswell Board, that that Board will report quarterly to the
City Council about project needs and economic benefits, and that the City Director of Public
Affairs, currently Juanita Jennings, may be recognized to the State of New Mexico and to all
other parties as the designated Film Liaison for Roswell, New Mexcio for the purpose of
