Negotiations with the Benbrool: Water Authority DICK - notify hardy to proceed (I.R. 894) negotiating a standard contract with Benbrook Water Artthurity, Present at the Pre-Council Conference to discuss with special provision for trans- a contract with the Benhrouk Water Authority were portation of water by Benbrook to Messrs. Logan, Wayne Wilson, llarold Foreman, Cue Fort Worth. Lipscomb and Paul Gregory. Mr. Logan said that the Benbrook Water Authority was now operating under an ural contract for purchase o1water from the City of fort ldorth, which hat, an indefinite term, and that the GcnbrooL Water Authority not, need:; a :;tandard Written contract in order to sell bonds ill the near future. Councilman Harms asked if the Benbrook Water Authority residents pay a tax to the Tarrant County Water Control & Improvement District Ito, 1 . Mr. Logan said they did not , Council.nan Shannon ast:ed ii they propose the same rates as charl;ed in Fort Worth for water. Mr. Logan said they want all Benbrool_ people to pay the same water rate, and, that they Lhoul•,ht it would be well if all Fort 44trth residents, paid the carte water rate, even if the water was, distributed to them frott the Benbrook systen. Councilttan Hoover asked what it: the basis of the rates? The city Manager said that Benbrook Water Authority would be charged double the raw water rate, to compensate for rite fact that residents; of that Authority pay no Tarrant County Water Control & Lnprovet.tent Dintrict No. 1 Councilman Iluover asked if any City of Benbrook reprc::cntatives were pretcnt . fir. Logan said no, but that the Benbrook Rater Authority cannot speak for the City of Bcnbrool., and all they dish to consider at this time was a water contract. Councilman Hatnn said he thought the su1;l;estion appears to be a logical solution, but both Councilt,ten damn and Hoover expressed preference for working out the e::change of land with th-� City of Benbrook at the s m.ee tine ac the water contract . Councilttan Shannon asked if the City of Fort Worth serves outside the city, does the City pay more on these services to the Water District. The City Manal;er replied that we nou pay 44�, which will be Bs,, when the Cedar Crock Pipeline is built in the future. Councilman Hoover askee who would pay for a master weter to serve Benbrook. lie was concerned that if Fort Worth is a customer of Benbrook, Miro would set up that tneterinf;, and who would t.teter and pay for fire-fighting water. The City Manager said these are details that can be negotiated for a contract if the Council wishes. Mayor Pro-Tem Jones atl:ed if tate Benbrook Water Authority charter will allow a rate differential to be charged. The Benbrook Water Authority attorney said that ttte Authority intended to do this indirectly, perhaps by havitt,, Tort Worth bill its oats pei ple, at a lower rate than paid in Benbrook, and adjustttents would be trade in payment.n by the Authority to Fort Worth. He said a problem might occur in the bond requit:craents but he thought this would work all right. iir. I,ol;an comtaet4O*' Lhat Oil annual CoIA to the BcnLr(poL• Water Authority would be ;seater under a new contract, but its per 1 ,001) ,alluns cost would be lower. The City Manager said the :staff's question was wheLher the Council wished to proceed :separately on the eater contract, or to tie it in with boundary re-alignments . 1-favor Barr said that we should deal with the constituted autluirities on each natter and since they were different authorities that they should not be confused here, Councilman KCLli)l.e asked witat the advanta,^,e to Fort Wl)rLh is in snapping; boundaries with Benbrool:. The City Manager replied that it will be a long;-tern benelit when development occurs there . The consensus of the Council was to proceed with nego- tiations vitt► Benbrool: Water Authority separately, and that the s al :.hould brim,, in a recowmendation on a negotiated contract 1,din to standard policy. After the Benbrool: Water Authority representatives left TFO Pre-ODuncil Conference, Councilman Stovall commented that lie didn't know the Benbrool: lien would be here and he said the iiatter should have been oil the agrude; so that Council Members could be prepared . Mayor Barr said that the Bien were told they were welcome after they inquired cAiether they could come, and that the Mayor did not know if they i.ould show up or not. The Council appeared to be divided on the naLter of whether or not mich ;,u(::;ts nor listed on the a;;enda should be taken lip after ;111 Hatters listed on the Pre-Council Conference agenda or %,i:_ether_they should be tal.en tip early and out of order. 3.
