Discussion and possible action pertaining to the release of confidential information regarding acquisition and use of property for Austin Water Utility water treatment facilities. (Related to item #64)
The motion to provide confidential, comparative financial information regarding the total costs of the development for four sites for a water treatment plant, without disclosing the location of the sites except for Guerrero Park, was approved on Council Member Alvarez' motion, Mayor Wynn's second on a 7-0 vote. Council Member Alvarez directed staff to provide information about what options are available at the City's existing water treatment plants for expansions and the challenges of pursuing those options. Staff was directed to post an item for next week's Council agenda so the posting language is broad enough to allow discussion of the process, possible extension of timelines, and various options. In addition, Mayor Wynn directed staff to describe the neighborhoods around the other sites so citizens would realize there are no single family homes near these sites. He requested a briefing on the following options: conservation methods and how they might impact the demand curve; expansion of existing water plants - Ullrich or Davis; expediting the construction of the No. 4 water treatment plant; utilizing the ground water east of the Edwards Aquifer; how changing the mix of the water used would impact the inventory; and/or purchasing wells in Edwards's aquifer. Council Member McCracken proposed a friendly amendment to remove Guerrero Park from the options presented to Council and the Environmental Board but this was not accepted by the maker of the motion. Various Council Members directed staff to eliminate Guerrero Park from further consideration.
