4. Receive an update from
Interim City Administrator John Studer regarding City Pool.

Interim City Administrator stated that Assistant City Attorney Daryl Halencak was
reviewing the contract between City of Seymour and Casillas Pool Service and that it should be finalized and approved within the next few weeks. Mr. Studer asked Council to review the figures and stated that they were basically the same, except taking out $40,000.00 from the last figures for not having to level the pool in the deep end and to include 5,000 more if a new pump route would be needed.

Mr. Studer stated that he had met with Mr. Casillas and measured off the concrete and advised the City might want to keep the stone area. The grand total to fix the pool would cost about $159,871.00, which included taking care of all the concrete work and hauling it off. The only unknown expense would be if Mr. Casillas found that after tearing out the concrete, he
would find pipes that would need to be replaced.

No action was taken by City Council.

Interim City Administrator John Studer regarding Pierce project.

6. Receive update from Interim Administrator /Council regarding
TCEQ trip to Austin; Selinium Issue.

Interim City Administrator John Studer stated that it was a long trip, but, a very worthwhile meeting. Mayor Reeves did an excellent job presenting the case to TCEQ. Everyone was happy with the response we got from them.

Mayor Reeves stated it was a good trip and for those who didn’t get to go to this trip, we may have the opportunity to go again in three weeks. I wish we would have made this trip a year ago, and maybe saved us a lot of time and a few hours of sleep. TCEQ has guidelines to follow and if you lay the cards on the table and look them in the eye when you talk to them, they will try to help you. I say this to this group, and the new group that will follow in the future.

Council Member Donald Coltharp thanked them for
attending the meeting and representing the City of Seymour.
