Commissioner Booker provided the invocation and Commissioner Boland led the pledge.<\/p>\n
PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD <\/strong><\/p>\nThere being no citizens who wish to address the Commission, the Chairman closed the public comment period.<\/p>\n
Wayne Moxley, Brunswick <\/strong>\u2013 Mr. Moxley represents Enclave Development Partnership and came today to say he is building a 400 unit complex and came to JWSC with questions about sewer capacity. His project escrow closes on September 20 and ground breaking is scheduled for January 1st<\/sup>.\u00a0 The project is worth $500,000 in tap fees.\u00a0 He asked who he can talk to move forward.<\/p>\nChris Amos, <\/strong>came to discuss the same project on Glynco Parkway and would like some answers as they are to close on the project tomorrow and didn\u2019t have any answers. How is the new additional capacity going to be allocated?\u00a0 Will it be tied in to existing developments?\u00a0 Will new development be able to tie in?<\/p>\nCommissioner discussed the meeting on August 10th<\/sup> with the County, City and the Development Authority and he shared the large books on the Master Plan.\u00a0 For the years 2009 -2012 the master plans were not addressed fully. The peaking factor was created back in 2012 and there was no technical engineering facts to back up the numbers that someone created.\u00a0 Commissioner Boland appreciated the two (2) men\u2019s comments and hoped to have answers shortly. He asked the two (2) men to stay and the answers they are looking for should be discussed during the meeting.<\/p>\nThere being no additional citizens who wish to address the Commission, the Chairman closed the public comment period.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\nCOMMITTEE UPDATES <\/strong><\/p>\nCommunications & Customer Service Committee <\/strong>\u2013 Commissioner Adams <\/strong><\/p>\nThere was nothing new to report.<\/p>\n

APPROVAL<\/strong><\/p>\nMinutes from the August 4, 2016 Regular Meeting <\/strong><\/p>\nCommissioner Cason made a motion seconded by Commissioner Adams to approve the minutes from August 4, 2016 Regular Meeting. Motion carried 7-0-0.<\/u><\/p>\n
Minutes from August 4, Executive Session Meeting<\/strong><\/p>\nCommissioner Elliott made a motion seconded by Commissioner Booker to approve the minutes from the August 4 Executive Session Meeting. Motion carried 7-0-0.<\/u><\/p>\n
Bank Resolution Revision <\/strong>\u2013 F. Wilson<\/p>\nFrances Wilson presented the Bank Resolution to the full Commission. It was stated that staff is requesting the approval of a new banking resolution and signature cards.\u00a0 Each time an authorized individual is added or removed a new signature card and banking resolution is needed to be submitted to the bank.\u00a0 Staff recommends that the Chairman, Vice-Chairman and Finance Committee Chairman of the JWSC be authorized signatories on the bank accounts of the JWSC and the Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Finance Committee Chairman, Executive Director, and Chief Financial Officer be authorized to execute the necessary banking resolution and signature cards with BB&T Bank.<\/p>\n
Commissioner Elliott made a motion seconded by Commissioner Cason that the Chairman, Vice-Chairman and Finance Committee Chairman of the JWSC be authorized signatories on the bank accounts of the JWSC and the Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Finance Committee Chairman, Executive Director, and Chief Financial Officer be authorized to execute the necessary banking resolution and signature cards with BB&T Bank.<\/u><\/p>\n
Commissioner Booker inquired as to who signs the checks currently. Frances stated that we are adding the Executive Director and normally checks under $25,000 requires 1 signature which could be primarily the Chief Financial Officer.\u00a0 Anything about $25,000 requires 2 signatures and any of those listed can sign in the absence of the Chief Financial Officer or Executive Director.\u00a0 It was further discussed that large expenditure items would go before the full commission and the check signing is the last step in a process in which the commissioners and\/or the Executive Director would already be aware of.\u00a0 It was noted that an item will be coming to the Human Resources Committee on Policy where the Executive Director can not bind the Commission to a contract in writing or orally without placing before the full Commission.<\/p>\n
Motion approved 7-0-0.<\/u><\/p>\n
Hawkins Island Deed \u2013 <\/strong>Comm. Boland<\/p>\nThis item was motioned to be differed until after the Executive Session.<\/p>\n
Public Information Officer <\/strong>\u2013 Comm. Elliott<\/p>\nCommissioner Elliott presented the Public Information Officer to the full Commission. It was noted that there is a need for a focal point and a contact person for several important areas.\u00a0 One area in particular is public information and how it is handled.\u00a0 A public Information Officer would handle the following areas: relationship with the media, provide public education, manage the JWSC website, receive and process open records requests, and handle legislation matters.\u00a0 This was presented before the Finance Committee for review and approval on 8\/16 and it was confirmed that funds are available for this position.\u00a0 The Executive Director would work with Teamworks Services, Inc. to develop the job description, pay scale, and requirements to perform the function of a Public Information Officer and bring before the Human Resources Committee on September 1st<\/sup> and before the Full Commission on the same date. This position could help deal with customer relation issues, which is currently under the Finance Department.<\/p>\nCommissioner Elliott made a motion seconded Commissioner Cason to authorize the Executive Director to develop the position of a Public Information Officer and present to the Human Resources to approve the job description and the position. Motion approved 7-0-0.<\/u><\/p>\n
Amendment of CIF Language <\/strong>\u2013 Comm. Elliott<\/p>\nCommissioner Elliott updated the Commission that the BGJWSC adopted a rate Resolution for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017 at its Meeting on June 16, 2016. Amendments to Section IV, (e) and (f) were made on July 7, 2016.\u00a0 A further amendment is required to Section IV (e).\u00a0 It is currently written as: Capital improvement fees must be paid prior to, or concurrent with, the JWSC\u2019s approval of construction plans for the capacity required.\u00a0 The required capacity will be reserved for that property.\u00a0 Staff proposes that it be written as: Capital improvement fees shall be paid concurrent with, the JWSC\u2019s approval of construction plans for the capacity required.\u00a0 The required capacity will then be reserved for that property.\u00a0 The reason for this change is such that capital tap fees will be paid after the planning and construction approves the construction plans.\u00a0\u00a0 The person will then go pay the tap fees.\u00a0 Right now as it is written it is not clear how that function will work.\u00a0 The term \u2018shall\u2019 is used instead of the word \u2018must\u2019.\u00a0 Commissioner Boland restated that at the point the construction plans are approved by JWSC and the tap fee is paid this will guarantee to capacity.
\n<\/u><\/p>\n
Commissioner Elliott made a motion seconded by Commissioner Perry to accept the second amendment to Section IV of the Rate Resolution for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017. Motion approved 7-0-0.<\/u><\/p>\n
N. Mainland Additional Tap <\/strong>\u2013 T. Kline<\/p>\nMoved to discussion to be combined with item #5.<\/p>\n
PS 2032 Pipe Pre-Purchase <\/strong>\u2013 P. Crosby<\/p>\nPam Crosby presented to the Commissioners te PS2032 Pipe Pre-Purchase for approval. This item was brought before the Finance and Facilities Committees\u2019.\u00a0 She stated that the project 2032 on SSI will require the pre-purchase of pipe in order to keep the contractor on target and on timeline.\u00a0 The project design calls for approximately 12,000 feet of pipe to be required for this project.\u00a0 If left up to the contractor of this project to order could take up to 8 weeks and could delay the project through and past the holiday season.\u00a0 The contract would be awarded in early December.\u00a0 What staff is asking for today is to seek formal quotes for the purchase of the 16\u201d HDPE pipe for further review and approval.\u00a0 Staff will also work with legal counsel to craft contract language to support contractor installation of the 16\u201d HDPE pipe that would maintain all warranties and claims on the work performed.\u00a0\u00a0 The main reason JWSC is asking for the request is help accelerate the timeline and ultimate completion of this project.\u00a0 This option has been reviewed and approved by both Finance and Facilities Committees at the respective meeting held on 8\/16\/16.<\/p>\n
Commissioner Elliott made a motion seconded by Commissioner Perry that we approve the pre-purchase of 16\u201d HDPE Pipe for the PS2032 Force Main Project. <\/u><\/p>\n
It was stated that this is the main way to try to stay on schedule in getting 2032 fixed. Currently as the engineering designs stands it is a 6 month construction window.\u00a0 If we waited this would push JWSC into July or maybe even August.\u00a0 Pam concluded that these are estimates for today and the plan is to pursue and return back with final numbers which they do vary.\u00a0\u00a0 The suppliers were noted as producing domestic products S. Carolina and Kentucky.<\/p>\n
Motion approved 7-0-0. <\/u><\/p>\n
Lift Station Bypass Pump <\/strong>\u2013 K. Young<\/p>\nKirk Young presented the approval of Bypass Pump rental and purchase. He began by updating the commission on the project currently under way.\u00a0 It includes multiple projects and initiative that are underway to address the limitations on sewer capacity in the SSI 2032 basin and North Mainland basin.\u00a0 The memorandum stated that on 8\/4\/16 the JWSC Commission approved a Basin Assessment project for the North Mainland basin with the engineering firm of Hussey Gay Bell. The assessment will include an existing data review, field confirmation, modeling and technical memo which will provide findings, rank alternatives and provide recommendations both short and long term to address ewer capacity deficiencies in this basin.\u00a0 The engineering phase of the 2032 basin Force Main upgrade is due to be completed in early October with construction anticipated to start in January of 2017. There have been multiple stakeholder meetings to discuss with Glynn County, Sea Palms staff, and 4 Waters Engineering firm.\u00a0 There is a public meeting scheduled to present the 30% design concept planned for the first week of September.\u00a0 The Joint Water and Sewer Commission approved a $1M line item allocation during the FY2017 budget process to provide a means to address these critical repair needs within the sewer transmission system.\u00a0 An option to install permanent backup pumps at lift stations with identified capacities over target limits is currently underway. Xylem and Godwin pumps were selected as the sole source supplier for lift station pumps in 2014.\u00a0 JWSC staff has met with Xylem and Godwin representatives twice in the past week to address this need.\u00a0 Staff recommends a two-pronged approach to address the bypass requirements necessary to facilitate immediate and longer term capacity relief in the 2032 and North Mainland basins.\u00a0 In order to properly determine that bypass pumping requirements are specified correctly a significant amount of analysis is necessary.\u00a0 The JWSC staff has consulted with Xylem and the initial plan of action is outlined below for JWSC Commissions consideration: Short-Term Contingency Plan<\/strong>-JWSC to provide for (2) Rental Pumps from Xylem\/Godwin-approximately $15K per month, up to (12) weeks, not to exceed $100K.\u00a0 These pumps will be returned once purchased pumps are installed. Long-Term Plan<\/strong>-Approve purchase of permanent pumps for (6) Mainland and (4) SSI lift stations at tan estimated cost of $1.25M.\u00a0 JWSC and Hussey Gay Bell are currently engaged in an overall North Mainland (NM)Basin Assessment Project of which this is a vital component.\u00a0 Continued assessment and determination is being done by both JWSC and HGB to determine the sizing and location for the following lift stations: NM basins; 4005, 4039, 4048, 4110, 4105, and 4107.\u00a0 The SSI basins include; 2032, 2001, 2002, and 2003.\u00a0 This approach has been reviewed and approved by the Finance and Facilities Committee. \u00a0The estimated cost was included and discussed.\u00a0 Estimated duty point was noted to be based on the Master Plan calculations and our needs for pumping.\u00a0 The staff is looking to push beyond capacity and open up about 200 REU\u2019s.\u00a0 The testing and calculating will need to be done on all basins.\u00a0 Some of the transmission lines could be attributing to the capacity problems.\u00a0\u00a0 Pumps will be added to basins 4105 and 4107 as they are under capacity and growth potential.\u00a0 These two were part of the list and\u00a0 are still needing to be reviewed and are located near exit 38.\u00a0 These pumps can be used as backup pumps and contribute to your flow data once the permanent fix is completed.\u00a0 It was stated that I&I take away from capacity.\u00a0\u00a0 Removable manholes and fines were discussed.\u00a0 Pump station 4108 will be part of the reverse or redirect project and provide relief off of 4039.\u00a0 Hussey Gay Bell is looking at condition of line and will provide a report and have been given 90 days.\u00a0 The pumps could be available in 12 \u2013 14 weeks which is an adaptation that could correct some of our problems.\u00a0 Many of these problems were pointed out in the 2009 Master Plan but never got addressed.\u00a0 Kirk stated that the main area that was studied hard was PS2032.\u00a0 We have a solution and for that area and now there are others that are being addressed.<\/p>\nCommissioner Elliott made a motion seconded by Commissioner Perry to provide authorization for the short-term contingency plan and rent 2 pumps from Xylem\/Godwin for approx.. $15K per month, up to (12) weeks, not to exceed $100K. these pumps will be returned once purchased pumps are installed.<\/u><\/p>\n
AND approve the long-term plan to purchase permanent pumps for 6) Mainland and (4) SSI lift stations at an estimated cost of$1.25M. JWSC staff and HGB are currently engaged in an overall N. Mainland basin assessment project of which this is a vital component.\u00a0 The next update meeting for this project is scheduled for August 22, 2016 also that the Executive Director respond to the Wayne Moxley business by close of business\/4:30 on Friday. <\/u><\/p>\n
Commissioner Elliott explained that JWSC can not assume your business risk.<\/p>\n
Motion approved 7-0-0.<\/u><\/p>\n
DISCUSSION<\/strong><\/p>\nFinancial Report \u2013 June End of Month <\/strong>\u2013 F. Wilson<\/p>\nFrances presented to the Commission the Financial Statement ending June 30,2016. They were reminded that the numbers will change as the Finance Department is in the middle of an audit.\u00a0 Frances provided the reserve accounts which includes the operating, the capital reserve, expansion, Restore and Repair, and capital tap fee reserves.\u00a0 Also a listing of and encumbrances was pointed out which included the 1.5 capital assets on vehicles and equipment.\u00a0 The totals for the projects and capital purchases were discussed.\u00a0 The condensed summary of revenue and expenses were discussed and noted that it is a comparative statement.\u00a0 The projected revenues were $26,305,950 and the actual was 24,627,002.\u00a0 It was noted that Administration portion includes all of the department in the Admin building and is; Office of Director, Finance, Planning and Construction, and Purchasing. \u00a0\u00a0Various items and their costs were detailed out and explained that the flow meters are part of the EPD consent order. The sludge dryer was a big expense.\u00a0 Bio-solids disposal was explained that the cost was $653,000 due to the dryer being down periodically.\u00a0 Frances stated JWSC is currently under budget by $552,443.00 and may change but not much.\u00a0 The last document was the detailed report and shares the history, year to date budget and expenses for the year.<\/p>\n
RFP Financial Service Update <\/strong>\u2013 P. Crosby<\/p>\nPam Crosby updated the Commissioners on the RFP Financial Services. This Monday a pre-proposal conference was held and there were 23 participants from 14 different firms.\u00a0 Questions were answered and discussed.\u00a0 The selection committee has been selected from the Financial Department and will review the bids on September 8th<\/sup>.\u00a0 The plan is to bring that recommendation before the commission on the October 6th<\/sup> meeting.<\/p>\nImpact Bond Defeasance \u2013 <\/strong>Comm. Elliott<\/p>\nCommissioner Elliott addressed the Commission to help them understand the Bond Defeasance. Defeasance, as suggested by some in the community, really doesn\u2019t help JWSC that much.\u00a0 There is the thought that if we go in and restructure our bonds it will reduce our interest rate, the cash will be available to us.\u00a0 The best way to handle a defeasance is to work, it as best possible, to offset the rate increase that is going to happen in operational portion of the bill against the reduction in the amount they are paying for the debt service charge.<\/p>\n
Peaking Factors <\/strong>\u2013 T. Kline \/ H. Patel<\/p>\nTodd Kline presented the peaking factors and how they are calculated and assessed with regard to capacity. An equation and method used in designing for anticipate average of peek flows and method used to plan for existing and ultimate conditions must be established.\u00a0 Per EPD JWSC must use industry standard practices as the benchmark for acceptance.\u00a0 The regulatory measurement includes the EPD which regulates the JWSC on Operational & Design standards. \u00a0The document we are held to is the EPD Guidelines for Sewage Collection System (2010).\u00a0 In this Design Document it is stated that the sewer must be designed in accordance with acceptable provisions of recognized design references in general use.\u00a0 The EPD cited design references are 10-State Standards, ASCE Manuals, EPA Publications, etc.\u00a0 JWSC does recognize the 10-State Standards as well as other communities and utilities like Savannah, Macon, JEA (Jacksonville).\u00a0 Todd discussed the development of anticipated flow-hydraulic capacity. The Average Daily Flow (ADF) was stated as how much water the system is expected to see on an average day.\u00a0 In absence of sufficient empirical (measured) data, industry standards are used.\u00a0 The best policy is noted as \u201cProjections shall be made from the actual flow data to the extent possible.\u201d\u00a0 Historical\/measured flow data is preferred; used to develop actual flow characteristics.\u00a0 The peaking factor was explained as an industry standard multiplier used to incorporate a factor of safety when designing wastewater collection and treatment systems.\u00a0 It is also used to design unforeseen flows, sustained wet weather flow\/storm events, etc.\u00a0 There are several methods used to develop: Fair-Geyer (10-State Standards) JWSC Master Plan; Babbitt Equation (ASCE); and Design example using both methods.\u00a0 The JWSC master Plan was presented on March 2015(ATM\/4 Waters Engineering); updated 2009 Master Plan (ATM).\u00a0 The Master Plan was adopted by the JWSC Commission Board as the guiding document for system health and planning.\u00a0 The engineers did not rely on assumed per capita usage, utilized a developed usage from population and measured flow.\u00a0 The population data is provided by Glynn County form the Brunswick Area Transportation Study (BATS).\u00a0 The BATS established specific Traffic Area Zone (TAZs) throughout the whole county.\u00a0 Flow Data was utilized measured from flow data. Per Capita Usage was derived from the total influent at the WWTP under dry weather.\u00a0\u00a0 Additional area was discussed under individual sewer flow development.\u00a0 The JWSC Sewer Design Standards were discussed and the latest revision was 2012.\u00a0 Sections 3.2.2 Gravity Sewer Systems and Section 4.2.2 Sanitary Sewer Lift Stations and Forcemains were discussed as not having backup documents to reference.\u00a0 It was noted that there was a contradiction in design standards and a revision is recommended.\u00a0\u00a0 The last pump station design approved by the JWSC use a peaking factor of 4.0 on Canal Crossing.\u00a0\u00a0 Staff recommends the JWSC Standards for Water & Sewer Design and Construction be updated for consistency with accepted industry design standards and the Master Plan 2015.\u00a0 Staff also recommends that the design standards continue to be verified and adjusted accordingly through the use of actual measured flow data.\u00a0 The actual calculation of peaking factor was explained in detail by Harry Patel.\u00a0 Fair-Geyer and Babbitt Equation calculations were practiced.\u00a0 It was stated that staff took each basin and developed its own peaking factor based on population.<\/p>\n
Allocation of Capacity Additions <\/strong>\u2013 J. Junkin<\/p>\nExecutive Director presented the Allocation of Capacity. With the changes and measures that are being made to add capacity there is a need to be fair and prevent one entity to gather all of the available taps.\u00a0 There will be a public meeting to be held Tuesday, August 30th<\/sup>.\u00a0 The general outline is to make sure tap fees are sold to builders who are truly ready to commence construction.\u00a0 It is intended to prevent entities for gathering them and just sitting on them.\u00a0 There have been many tap fees that have been sold where no construction has begun.\u00a0 The policy outline was presented and explained what is required and included a 30 day condition to begin construction.\u00a0 It was noted that those who are in immediate need for tap-ins, like Mr. Moxley presented, could possibly obtain those taps.\u00a0 It was noted that the Executive Director would be happy to meet with individuals separately to discuss needs for tap ins.<\/p>\nCommissioner Cason stated that much is happening and unfolded before us. The JWSC is taking every measures that we can to facilitate the needs of this community.\u00a0 He mentioned his concern of the force being placed on Dunbar Creek and Academy Creek that we know have deficiencies.<\/p>\n
Chairman Boland asked the public to get behind the SPLOST as it will help to take care of fixing a lot of N. Mainland Issues. There is also money set aside by the County for a WWT facility that will not happen and asks that the money can be used to fix Academy Creek.<\/p>\n
Commissioner Elliott proposed\/made a motion that JWSC send a letter to the county on the SPLOST that states the valid initiative on the SPLOST needs to clearly state that we have the option to use the SPLOST dollars, should it pass, to repay debt that we are going to have to assume to correct these issues.<\/u><\/p>\n
Commissioner Elliott explained that the as SPLOST works out it won\u2019t be passed until November 2016 which means the flows won\u2019t start until sometime 2017 and useable dollars won\u2019t be available to us until 2019. Once it passes, assuming that is does, we can borrow money to perform the work required in a much quicker fashion.\u00a0 We can use the SPLOST dollars to repay the principle and the interest in the debt service charge.<\/p>\n
Seconded by Commissioner Adams. Motion approved 7-0-0.<\/u><\/p>\n
Commissioner Perry wanted to take the time to say thank you to Chairman Boland and Commissioner Elliott for the time they have put in while filing the position and have both done a tremendous job. We really appreciate it.\u00a0 All those present agreed with gratitude and acclamation.<\/p>\n
