7. City Administrator’s report and suggestions/concerns
received in suggestion box and Well-level report.

No suggestions or concerns were received in the suggestion box this month. Rick Garcia was unable to get Council a Water-level report. The only issue we are now dealing with is concerning the Sellium at the Reverse Osmosis Plant. The levels that have been discharged for the last nine years at the R.O. Plant have been fine, but, now TCEQ has changed the rules on us mid-year. They have sent us a letter and I sent them one back. It is just a matter of working things out with them. This is something Council will have to deal with in the future. Charles Keith, with Jacob and Martin, Co., and I are working on this issue together. It is not an immediate concern right now. Like I said they have changed the levels on us, which they do often.

Again, like I tell you every month, the City Employees are doing a great job and
I appreciate them very much. I thank the Council for their support this past year and wish everyone a Merry Christmas.
