IX. PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE REPORT
A. Location of Sewer Line in Brittain Circle
Chairman Rusty Jergins gave this report and asked that Sanford LaRue of Schrickel,
Rollins and Associates, Inc. make his presentation on this item. LaRue explained
that determination must be made for the location of the sewer line— either within the
street right of way or in an easement behind the houses. He said there are advantages
and disadvantages with both proposals. If the sewer lines are placed in the easement,
some property owners will have to relocate their fences, out buildings, and other
structures. However, this proposal would be cheaper on the homeowners in that most
of the septic systems are situated in the backyards. Locating the sewer line in the
street right of way will require the street to be reconstructed. However, locating the
mains in the street will only require two collection mains as opposed to three if the
lines are located in the easements.
Joe Carlisle, who lives at 190 Brittain Circle, expressed his desire to have the sewer
line placed in the easement rather than in the street right of way.
J. B. Wilson, who lives at 141 Brittain Circle, said that he favors placing the sewer
line in the street right of way, and hopefully to have the entire street reconstructed.
MOTION by Rusty Jergins, second by Bea Marin, to locate the sewer line in the
Brittain Circle street right of way. Motion carried by the following vote:
Ayes: Council members Marin, Jergins, Conatser, Stanley, Hillin, Terrell, and
Madkins.
Noes: Council member Shelton.
B. Employ Schrickel, Rollins and Associates, Inc. to Design Irrigation and
Landscaping within West Side Development Project
MOTION by Rusty Jergins, second by Barbara Terrell, to employ Schrickel, Rollins
and Associates to design the irrigation and landscaping within the West Side
Development Project, to be done as a base project with two alternates —one to
provide irrigation for the entire landscaping, not just the trees, and the second for

vote:
Ayes: Council members Madkins, Terrell, Hillin, Stanley, Jergins, and Mann.
Noes: Council members Shelton and Conatser.
X. CONSIDER RECONSTRUCTING BRITTAIN CIRCLE
MOTION by Bea Marin, second by Rusty Jergins, to add Brittain Circle to the city's
reconstruction program for the spring/summer of 1999. Motion carried by the
following vote:
Ayes: Council members Madkins, Terrell, Hillin, Stanley, Conatser, Jergins, and
Mann.
Noes: Council member Shelton.
XI. CONSIDER LEASE AGREEMENT WITH FRIENDSHIP HOMES, INC.
MOTION by Bill Stanley, second by Rusty Jergins, to terminate the contract with
Rockin'A Homes and authorize the mayor to execute a new contract with Friendship
Homes, Inc. Motion carried by unanimous approval.

EXECUTIVE OFFICER REGARDING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
BLOCK GRANT, AUTHORIZING SUBMISSION OF THE GRANT, AND
COMMITTING MATCH MONEY FOR THE GRANT

authorizing the submission of a Texas Community Development Program application
to the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs for Community
Development Funds and authorizing the City Administrator at act as the city's chief
executive officer and authorized representative in all matters pertaining to the city's
participation. Motion carried by unanimous approval.
XIII. CONSIDER AGREEMENT WITH OMI FOR PREPARATION OF RISK

a Risk Management Program if threshold quantities of certain chemicals are stored
at city facilities. The Stephenville Wastewater Treatment Plant stores chlorine in

i
quantities that exceed the threshold limit. Therefore, the city is required to develop
an EPA approved Risk Management Plan to be submitted to the EPA by June 21,
1999. As part of the city's contract with OMI, there is a provision which allows OMI
to perform this type service.
MOTION by Jerry Madkins, second by Joel Hillin, to employ OMI to prepare the
EPA Risk Management Plan. Motion carried by unanimous approval.
XIV. UPDATE ON EXPANDED LOCAL CALLING
Bill Stanley reminded the council that a resolution had been sent by the City of
Stephenville to the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) protesting the request of
Sprint United Telephone Company for an increase in the charge for expanded local
calling services. The cities of Gatesville and Troup had entered into litigation to
contest the requested increase. This litigation has now been heard by an
administrative law judge, who has ruled against Sprint by saying that Sprint did not
support its request for an increase in expanded local calling fee. This case is now in

To Present a Complaint, What do I do?
To present a matter of concern to the city organization or a specific department, you may call (918-
1220) or come by City Hall at 298 W. Washington.
There are basically two types of complaints:
Informal: An informal complaint can by made verbally or in writing (no signature is required).
1) Maintenance of infrastructure:
If your problem has to do with an area of maintenance (pothole, traffic /street sign, tall grass,
health hazard, etc.) the person helping you will fill out a "General Maintenance Request'
form. The form will then be routed to the proper department for resolution. If you want to
be contacted about the disposition of your request, you must provide a phone number at
which you can be contacted. If your problem is determined to be complex or severe, you
may be asked for a written definition of the problem and a description of how the problem
could be resolved.
2) Treatment by or behavior of an employee:
In most cases, your problem does not need to be in writing and any employee at city hall
or the public safety building can help you with your concern. A supervisor can take your
complaint over the phone and fill out an informal complaint form. No formal disciplinary
action can be taken based on a verbal complaint.
Formal: A formal complaint must be in writing and must be signed by the complainant and
witnessed by a supervisor or the city secretary.
If your problem has to do with a complaint against an employee or the way in which you
were treated by an employee, and you wish to file a formal complaint, you will need to put
your concern in writing. Your complaint can be filed with the city secretary / designee
(forms are available at the receptionistdesk). The complaint will be routed to the appropriate
supervisor who will conduct a thorough investigation of your complaint, and you will be
advised of the result and any action taken. (Texas State Law requires that all complaints
against police officers or fire fighters must be in writing and signed by the person making
the complaint.)
It is suggested that complaints should be made as soon as possible after the incident, except
in special cases (such as criminal misconduct or when good cause can be shown by the
person complaining). Complaints against employeesmust be made by the person who claims
to be aggrieved. Other persons may give statements as witnesses.
If you desire a response, you will be notified by either phone or in writing (whichever you
prefer).

RE: Proposal for Preparing an EPA Risk Management Plan and OSHA Process
Safety Management Plan for the Stephenville Wastewater Treatment Plant
Dear Mr. Johnson:
Per your request, this letter provides a proposal and budget for preparing a Risk
Management and Process Safety Management Plan for the Stephenville Wastewater
Treatment Plant operated by Operations Management Inc. (OMI). The Plans are required
by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Risk Management Program
(RMP) rule, Section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act (40 CFR Part 68), and the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Process Safety Management (PSM) standard
(29 CFR 1910.119) when listed chemicals exceed the threshold quantities detailed by these
regulations. For your Wastewater Treatment Plant, chlorine exceeds the threshold limit
triggering the need for this Plan.
As we discussed, OMI has the capability to prepare these Plans for the City of Stephenville
much more economically than an outside consultant. OMI has retained the in -house
expertise to prepare PSM/R2vfP's and offers the following scope of work and budget to
complete the project by the June 21, 1999 regulatory deadline.
Scope of Work
The Project consists of providing the City of Stephenville assistance in developing a
Process Safety Management/Risk Management Plan (PSM/RMP) for the Stephenville
Wastewater Treatment Plant. Peter J. Cohlmia, OMI's Risk Management consultant will
work with OMI and the City of Stephenville to complete the following scope to meet the
key elements of the PSM/RMP:
9i
I. Prepare Orientation Materials
A. Develop a summary paper containing the following elements to educate the City
of Stephenville personnel regarding the purpose of the program and its key
requirements:
1. Clean Air Act Section 112(r) overview,
2. Specific elements of the program,
3. Potential affects on OMI and the City of Stephenville personnel, and
4. Schedule for project.
II. Develop Required Data Elements for the PSM/RMP including:
A. Management System
B. Hazard Assessment
I. Analyze the circumstances and events that could result in releases of acutely
hazardous substance.
2. Identify the worst -case release for the Plants and alternative release scenarios
for each regulated chemical.
3. Use air dispersion models with the release modes and suitable representative
meteorological data.
4. Evaluate potential off -site consequences of release scenarios in terms of
public health and environmental receptors.
5. Compile a five -year accident history.
C. Prevention .
1. Determine and describe how employees will be involved in the development
of the hazard analysis and other program elements.
2. Document covered process safety information.
3. Develop a thorough, orderly and systematic approach to the identification,
evaluation and control of processes involving hazardous substances.
4. Develop and document operating procedures for the covered processes.
5. Develop a training program to help employees and contractors understand the
nature and causes of potential hazards arising from operation of the covered
processes.
6. Develop a program to ensure that contractors working on or near the covered
Processes are trained and aware of the dangers associated with the process.
7. Document requirements for the start -up of the covered processes after
shutdown for routine or non- routine maintenance or in case of emergency
shutdown.
8. Develop a mechanism to ensure the mechanical' integrity of the covered
processes.
9. Ensure that procedures and a checklist are prepared for any hot work
Performed around the covered systems.
r ''
10. Prepare a procedure that will capture any proposed or intended change to the
covered systems such that the hazard review and operating procedures are
modified to reflect the changes prior to operation.
11. Develop a formal documented system of managing and recording incident
investigations.
12. Develop a process safety program evaluation methodology.
D. Emergency Response Program
1. Develop an emergency planning and response procedure.
E. Risk Management Plan
1. Develop a Risk Management Plan that summarizes the PSM/RMP and meets
the data elements requirements (EPA Submit) for submittal to EPA by June
21, 1999.
The PSM/RMP shall be submitted to the City of Stephenville in draft form for review and
approval prior to submittal to EPA.
Budget and Schedule
We propose to provide these services to the City of Stephenville for approximately
$15,000. This price compares very favorably to the cost of hiring outside consultants who
do not know the Stephenville Wastewater Treatment Plant operations or personnel. OMI
has developed contacts with the local regulators and emergency planning authorities which
will assist greatly in the efficient and timely completion of this project. These contacts
will be very beneficial in the development of the off -site consequence analyses and in the
emergency notification requirements. OMI would appreciate approval to begin this work
for the City of Stephenville as soon as possible in order to complete the project by the June
21, 1999 regulatory deadline.
If you concur with this proposal or have any questions, please feel free to contact me at
965 -3668 or Mr. Pete Cohlmia at 303 - 268-4201. Upon written approval from the City of
Stephenville, OMI will begin work immediately on the PSM/RMP for the Stephenville
Wastewater Treatment Plant. We appreciate the opportunity to propose on this work
