The meeting was called to order by the Mayor and the invocation given by Mr. Tolbert, followed with the Salute to the Flag. Present were: Mayor Kenneth B. Rollins, Councilmembers Glen P. Cole, Stanley D. Herrell, Jr. , G. Dewey Hill , Jr . , Marylou Hill , Walter F. Murray and John W. Tolbert, Jr. ; also Town Manager John Niccolls, Assist- ant Manager Jeffrey H. Minor , Director of Engineering Andrew G. Shope, Director of Finance Donald O. Taylor and Town Attorney George M. Martin. Also in attendance were Mr. Robert W. Neeson —and Mr. John W. Groschan of Betz-Converse-Murdoch, Inc . 79-120 - RESOLUTION - CONCERNING A FINANCIAL PLAN FOR THE POTOMAC RIVER WATER SUPPLY PROJECT. On motion of Mr. Herrell, seconded by Mr . Hill, the following resolution was proposed: WHEREAS , the estimated remaining project costs for the Potomac River water supply project are $7 , 425 , 000 . 00 ; and WHEREAS , the $5, 000 , 000 . 00 1979 water bond issue and utility fund reserve balances are together insufficient to pay the full cost of the Potomac River water supply project without additional bonded debt; and WHEREAS , the town ' s financial consultant has described a plan for the issuance of $1, 500 , 000. 00 utility improvement bonds to mature beginning after the year 1992 : THEREFORE, RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Leesburg, Virginia, as follows : SECTION I . It is this Council ' s intention to pay the re- maining costs of the Potomac River water supply project from the $5, 000 , 000 . 00 1979 water bonds, utility fund reserve balances of approximately $925, 000 . 00 and a new $1, 500, 000 . 00 general obligation utility improvement bond issue. SECTION II . The manager is authorized and directed to prepare legislation necessary and appropriate for the issuance of $1, 500 , 000 . 00 general obligation utility improvement bonds and to submit the same for consideration by this Council. Mayor Rollins felt this resolution is premature. Mr. Herrell understood that this money is necessary - he felt this was why the financial advisors were at the meeting last night. Mr. Hill con- curred - even tho we do not know the exact amount needed, these bonds could be designated "and/or sewer plant. " He believed there would be cheaper money now than in 1982 when we go for the sewer plant. He was also confident that this would not skyrocket rates in the early stages of the plant. Council will be voting on this again and can "kill" it if they want to. He was in favor of taking steps to initiate this bond issue now Mr. Herrell did not like entering into a contract without knowing they have the money to cover it, and that they have a little lead time . This has to be done if we are going to build the plant, and he felt we should get this money at the best interest rate. Mr. Cole and Mrs. Hill agreed. Mr. Niccolls had talked with Mr. Wales today and he ad- vised that he has sounded the market place , so to speak, on a 1. 5 million dollar issue from Leesburg and he has tentatively recommended the selection of a municipal bond specialist (Invest- ment Bank from Lynchburg) . They estimate the interest cost at 6-5/8 to 6-3/4 percent and feel that timing of the issue should be prompt - they could place the issue and have funds in the town ' s hands in 60 days. This would be to the town ' s interest - by get- ting it out early, there would be no secondary market conflicts with our future sewer issue. Maturities would begin in 2005 and run out in 2009 in the amount of $300 , 000 each, thereby making our interest cost roughly $100 , 000 a year. Mr. Wales said he could -:talk with George Consolvo of Hunton and Williams about getting the neces- sary legal instruments, but Mr. Niccolls told him to wait on this. 53 MINUTES OF AUGUST 28 , 1979 SPECIAL MEETING. The mechanism to issue these bonds and have the money in 60 days is poised and ready for Council ' s direction. This can be deferred, but Mr. Wales ' recommendation is "the sooner the better in this market . " Mr. Hill said one of the items in the renegotiation was the engineert request for front-end money, which would reduce the town ' s interest on the present bond issue by some $30 , 000 . This would more than take up the slack of the loss of interest we would probably have during that time. He believed we would have to go with this front-end money. Mr. Murray emphasized the necessity for these bonds to be marked for both sewer and water . Mr. Niccolls said they are referred to as "utility improvement bonds" here, but the bond ordinance would be very clear that they could be used for either system. The resolution was unanimously adopted: Aye : Councilmembers Cole, Herrell , D. Hill , M. Hill, Murray, Tolbert and Mayor Rollins. Nay: None. 79-121 - RESOLUTION - AUTHORIZING A CONTRACT WITH MECHANICAL CON- STRUCTORS, INC. FOR THE POTOMAC RIVER WATER FILTRATION PLANT. On motion of Mr. Hill , seconded by Mr. Tolbert, the following resolution was proposed: WHEREAS, a bid was opened on June 27 , 1979 from Mechanical Constructors, Inc. , 205 South Whiting Street, Suite 606 , Alexandria, Virginia 22304 , for construction of the Potomac River water filtration plant in the amount of $7 , 219 , 000 . 00; and WHEREAS, ensuing negotiations resulted in acceptable pro- posals for change orders reducing the scope and cost of the plant by $922 , 000 . 00 : RESOLVED, by the Council for the Town of Leesburg, Virginia, as follows: SECTION I. The manager is authorized and directed to enter into a contract on behalf of the town in a form approved by the Town Attorney with Mechanical Constructors, Inc. , 205 South Whiting Street, Suite 606 , Alexandria, Virginia 22304 for construction of the Leesburg Potomac River water filtra- tion plant in accordance with the town ' s invitation to bid issued May 17 , 1979 and contract documents and specifica- tions dated February, 1979 by Betz-Converse-Murdoch, Inc. , Potomac Group, Vienna, Virginia, as revised by Addenda Nos . 1 and 2 issued June 15 and June 21, 1979 , and in accordance with the June 26 , 1979 bid and the August 21, 1979 proposal from Mechanical Constructors, Inc . for change orders reduc- ing the scope of work on the project, all for a contract price of $6 , 297 , 000 . 00 . SECTION II . An appropriation is made to the Potomac River water supply capital project fund, Account No. 70000 . 805 , Water Treatment Plant, in the amount of $6 , 297 , 000 . 00 Mayor Rollins was concerned as to whether or not the town will get approved changes with this resolution - he does not know that this ties them down. Mr. Niccolls pointed out that this refers to their August 21 proposal, which he felt is tied down by title . There will be no additional change orders initially approved - there may be some down the line. Mayor Rollins asked if there have been any changes in the Addenda that was prepared by the engineers and the contractors? Mr. Neeson said No. He suggested that the practical resolution of this problem would be to delay the actual signing of the contract until such time as the substance of the change orders has been reduced to writing. He believed this resolution is satis- factory to their interest. Mr. Niccolls explained that the contract usually contains a paragraph listing the various documents - the change orders would be a part of this . This was done on a much smaller contract - it made reference to changes between the time of the bid and the time it was actually awarded. Mr. Neeson would 54 MINUTES OF AUGUST 28 , 1979 SPECIAL MEETING. like the change orders to be listed in the contract by number and there should be enough substance so that the basic negotiation with the contractor is over. On motion of Mr. Herrell, seconded by Mrs . Hill, Council voted unanimously to amend Section I to read: "Subject to approval of change orders by the Council, the manager Aye : Councilmembers Cole, Herrell , D. Hill, M. Hill , Murray, Tolbert and Mayor Rollins. Nay : None. Mayor Rollins recognized Mr. John Mallery, from whom all Council members had received letters this evening. He believed go- ing to the Potomac is a serious mistake - this would be just the beginning so far as money is concerned . He believed there is ca- pacity in the wells for as long as they are needed. The new wells provide almost 30 percent of the water at this time - two more wells would provide almost as much water as going to the Potomac . If expanded to the extent planned, this would open the door to expan- sion of the sewage treatment plant to handle the capacity of the water. It would also be sticking a dagger into the heart of the County and this would be a bad mistake . The amount of water pro- duced could not all be used at this time, therefore, the only cost- productive way would be to sell the water to development outside of Leesburg. Mr. Tolbert asked what he would do if he turned on the faucet and nothing came out? Mr. Mallery did not believe this is a real threat - if we had to cut back on the wells, the Potomac would be in bad shape too. We don 't have exclusive rights to that water - the cities down-river would limit the amount we could take out. He did not believe this is a good solution. To Mr . Hill ' s question, Mr. Mallery said he had been in Leesburg for three years . Mr. Herrell asked what he would consider the future needs of Leesburg? Mr. Mallery said he had seen massive development and he felt it should be controlled and developed no more than half again its size. Mr. Herrell did not feel you can stop development . Mr. Mallery did not want to pay taxes to provide the potential for growth of the County - the County should pay for this . Mr. Herrell pointed out that the County ' s Master Plan calls for development around the towns . Most of the towns want this too. The cost of development must be kept down by existing facilities . He did not feel that you can stop development. Mayor Rollins said he was born and raised here and he did not think there had ever been a dry year that there was not a water crisis. Had there been a serious fire two years ago, the Town could have burned down. Mr. Mallery asked how much the last..two Wells' :1 - increased capacity? Mayor Rollins pointed out that the Paxton Well was supposed to be an unlimited supply of water until we had a drought. When it pumped over 300 , 000 gpd, it pumped mud - he was there and held the mud in his hand. Mr. Hill said you can 't put dependence in wells - the two new ones on Evergreen Mill Road tested just fine, but when they were put into the system and pumped constantly;. they went down. He checked with the Geodetic Survey, who have a test well out at the Carr tank - the water table the end of July had only dropped two inches . He could not remember such a wet summer. Mr. Mallery had talked with people involved in this well and they say there is plenty of water available underground for Leesburg. By going to the Potomac, we are launching into an effort where the final total would be completely out of sight (just like METRO) . He felt the cost could go to two to three times the $5,000 , 000 to $7 , 000 , 000 . Mayor Rollins asked how he figured this? Mr. Mallery asked about cost over-runs, land rights, pipe and the sewage treat- ment plant? Mayor Rollins said these items are figured in the con- tract price. It is estimated that the Sewage Treatment Plant will not cost more than million dollars to expand it . He had serious concern about the size, but when you can get a 5, 000 , 000 gpd for only $400 , 000 more than the cost of a 2 , 500 , 000 gpd plant, he thought it would be foolish economy not to do it. Mr. Mallery asked about operating costs? Mayor Rollins said there would not be that much . difference. Mr. Herrell said he did not want to base the future of Leesburg on wells. Mr. Murray did not want to face the possibility that the hospital, nursing homes and schools might not have enough water. He felt it is incumbent upon the Council to make sure this MINUTES OF AUGUST 28 , 1979 SPECIAL MEETING. commodity is available. Mayor Rollins felt they should look out 5 5 for their children and grandchildren, as well as for themselves. Spending less money today and finding the facilitiy out-dated in two years is throwing money away, just like the County Court House complex. Leesburg has gone through this time and time again and has spent hund- reds of thousands of dollars looking for new wells . He said "Let ' s get it solved. " Mr. Mallery thanked Council for their time and said he had a better understanding of their position. Mrs. John Mallery asked if Leesburg has or is working on a plan for growth? How many hook-ups will be needed to pay for the bonds per year - what will be the monthly payments? Mr. Niccolls said the total debt service on the plant alone would be about $600, 000 per year. She also asked how many hook-ups are averaged a year now? Mr. Niccolls explained that the Council retained Municipal Advisors , Inc. to con- duct a rate study projecting the financial condition of the town from the year the plant goes on line ( 1981) through 1985: They found the town should expect the equivalent of 194 service connections per year. Some of these would be commercials (the equivalent of 5 residentials) . Each of these connections is charged $3, 500 to connect to the water and sewer systems . This amount was projected as revenue available for repayment of the debt during those five years. These numbers CO represent about five percent against our present population, not com- C) pounded, and this is certainly not out of the ordinary. Mr. Herrell CU said the only way to encourage development is to have low connection charges - ours is one of the highest in the metropolitan area, so we Q are not encouraging development . We have to keep those rates high in order to build this plant. Mrs. Mallery once again asked if the Town Q has a plan? Mrs. Hill said the Planning Commission is up-dating it now - this is done every five years . Mr. Juergen Reinhardt , a resident of 158 Edwards Ferry Road for five and a half years, said he appeared before Council about a year and a half ago concerning this water problem. His business is earth science so he felt qualified on the subject of ground water. He made a plea at that time for the Council to vote not to go to the Potomac, but to continue its search for ground water. Even though Council voted to go to the Potomac that night, formal and informal discus- sions were held with the Geological Survey. This resulted in a reso- lution to evaluate six sites for wells . When the first site was drilled it proved to be a dry hole. The geologists said it was not drilled as they had suggested and insisted they continue to drill in other loca- tions . The town continued to drill on Evergreen Mill Road and these wells have proved to be very good ones. There are other good sites and they would cost a lot less than the $7 , 000 , 000 proposed to go to the Potomac. He referred to this project as "Mayor Rollins ' baby" and ventured to say that the end result would make "Rosemary ' s baby" look like Cinderella. Mr. Niccolls said the cost of putting the Evergreen Mill wells into operation, including the transmission line, was about $280 , 000 . Mayor Rollins said this did not include the cost of drilling other wells where they found no water. Mr. Niccolls said the cost of drill- ing at the 7-11 location was about $20 to $30 , 000 . Mayor Rollins referred to the Honicon Well , which some years ago was supposed to be such a wonderful well . It pumped 600 , 000 gallons for two days and on about the sixth day , there was not a drop. The town has had this experience before - he again referred to the Paxton Well, which will pump 300 , 000 gpd, but when you try for 400 , 000, it is muddy. Also, the Phillips/Nickels Well had a dog-leg in it . When they tried to straighten this out, and. when they went 500 feet and spent about $50 , 000, they got not a drop of water. He said we are not talk- ing about today or tomorrow, we are talking about an investment for the future of Leesburg. There have been problems for the past 30 years and there have been times when there was not half a tank of water for the town. Mr. Reinhardt went on to say that he and others of the Geological Survey have never heard anything but disparaging remarks - they were never even thanked for the time and effort expended by them. He said MINUTES OF AUGUST 28 , 1979 SPECIAL MEETING. 56 there are well drilling techniques, ways to handle muddy water and many other things - there is help. This seems to have escaped every- one here, therefore, Council has a very biased view of the best course of action. He asked what would happen if the plant were shut down and referred to a problem in Montgomery County, Md. , a couple of years ago. Mayor Rollins reminded him that Montgomery and Prince Georges Counties are both served by the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commis- sion from the Potomac. The plant was shut down because the intake structure was placed too high . Subsequent to that time, there has been a "low-flow" agreement to cover such situations, but Leesburg would not be affected by that agreement. Mr. Reinhardt said he could show them 25 sites where they could drill . The Evergreen Mill wells were the second on the list that the Geological Survey gave them. He felt the town did not have to go ahead with this "incredible boondoggle . " He did not want his children to drink anything that comes out of that plant. He was concerned about the quality of the water - there are all kinds of things that flow into the Potomac after rainstorms. There is no control over the river, but you would have absolute control over what comes out of the ground. There followed comments back and forth between Mr. Murray and Mr. Herrell and Mr. Reinhardt along the same lines . Mayor Rollins said "When the day comes that the Potomac River goes dry, you and I are going to be going for the low grounds. " He did not agree that Leesburg would be cut off if such occurred - it would be to Leesburg' s benefit because we are upstream. The Potomac is going to be the major supply to Fairfax County - their plant will be completed next year. Mr. Reinhardt insisted that there are vast supplies of water in the ground in Fairfax and Alexandria, as well as here in Loudoun County. There would be control over ground water, but there seems to be a conspiracy against ground water in Northern Virginia, by ignorance. Mr. Hill said we will be taking water out at the Edwards Ferry tie-in and putting it back in almost gallon for gallon just about a mile down the creek, and in better condition than when we take it out, so we certainly will not be doing anything to deplete the Po- tomac. A decision will be made from a level a lot higher than ours that the water we take out has nothing to do with what the District takes. Mayor Rollins said this situation has been taken care of with the low flow agreement, which requires a certain amount of flow-by from Fairfax and all points downstream so that Washington is not in the position of going dry. Leesburg is not affected by thi§$CCbecause we are too far upstream. Also, the Bloomington, W. Va. dam75eing built on the Potomac which will assure about 10 billion gallons a day if it is needed. Leesburg pumps about 1. 5 mgd in peak periods . Mayor Rollins told Mr. Reinhardt he could appreciate his position, but "Are we going to solve this problem or are we going to continue to put bandaids on the problem forever?" Mr. Hill said he talked with Mr. Palmer of Purcellville today concerning their plight, which has been going on for yeas, but which has now become critical. They can do nothing until they gomething with their present water supply, and that is to build a treatment plant. He viewed what they are doing here as an opportunity and a challenge to really do something of major importance. He has studied this for many years and he is completely sold on it. They will be making a decision that will put future Councils in a more viable position where they don ' t have to make sudden and drastic changes to correct a problem. He felt this will correct the problem. Mayor Rollins felt it is too bad that some of the people who have all the answers don 't run for public office. They should re- ceive the complaints at all hours of the day and night concerning muddy or sandy water. We shouldn 't have to double the rates to make people conserve water when there is a crisis - there should be an available and good supply of water . He said he has spent a lot of time and worked on this project since 1968, and not alone. He is trying to satisfy his own mind as to what is the right solution . He felt this would be a very historic date in the annals of Lees- burg ' s history - the Council will not make a -more important decision than it makes tonight . This decision will set the tone for Leesburg. He did not feel there would be a more important decision in the past decade, nor in the decade to come . He recalled reading in the history of Leesburg that the people of Leesburg wanted to impeach Lucas MINUTES OF AUGUST 28 , 1979 SPECIAL MEETING. 57 Phillips when they bought the Town parking lot for $10 , 000 - they said it would bankrupt the town - now it is worth millions. He could also remember the human cry when we had a sewage treatment plant that had raw sewage going into the stream where the bowling alley is , and nobody wanted to build a new plant. There comes a time when there needs to be somebody with some vision, some imagi- nation and some foresight. This may be the biggest boondoggle in the world, but in 10 years people will say it ' s a good thing that somebody had some foresight that Leesburg has water. You will not get water from the Potomac much longer. Also, he believed that in the next decade a potable supply of water will be just as valuable, if not more so, than oil because the water supply is running out in most areas. He said he can make this decision without any reservation or hesitation - he didn 't see that there is any viable alternative . If we are ever going to get the tax rate lowered or keep it from sky- rocketing, there will have to be some commercial and industrial development. The only people that can supply water for this develop- ment is Leesburg - at least thata ls the only jurisdiction that should supply it . The resolution wal1eaftted by a unanimous roll call vote : Aye: Councilmembers Cole , Herrell , D. Hill, M. Hill , Murray, CO Tolbert and Mayor Rollins . CO Nay: None . (V Mayor Rollins expressed his appreciation to each councilmember for the LU time and effort that has been expended over a long period of time and Q many, many discussions over this matter. Q 79-122 - RESOLUTION - AUTHORIZING A CONTRACT WITH CORMAN CONSTRUCTION, INC. FOR THE POTOMAC RIVER WATER TRANSMISSION MAIN. On motion of Mr. Cole, seconded by Mr. Hill, the following reso- lution was proposed: WHEREAS, five bids were opened on June 27 , 1979 from firms interested in constructing the Potomac River water trans- mission main; and WHEREAS , the bid of Corman Construction, Inc . , P. O. Box 10172, Woodbridge Station, Washington, D. C. 20018 was found to be the lowest and best bid; and WHEREAS, ensuing negotiations resulted in acceptable proposals for change orders reducing the scope and cost of the transmis- sion main by $246 , 182 . 50 : RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Leesburg, Virginia, as follows : SECTION I . The manager is authorized and directed to enter into a unit price contract on behalf of the town in a form approved by the Town Attorney with Corman Construction, Inc. , P. O. Box 10172 , Woodbridge Station, Washington, D. C. 20018 for construction on the Leesburg Potomac River water trans- mission main in accordance with the town ' s invitation to bid issued May 24 , 1979 and contract documents and specifications dated May, 1979 by Betz- Converse-Murdoch, Inc. , Potomac Group, of Vienna, Virginia, as revised by Addenda Nos . 1 and 2 dated June 19 and June 20 , 1979 , and in accordance with June 26 , 1979 bid and August 28 , 1979 proposal from Corman Construction, Inc. for change orders reducing the scope of work on the project, all for a contract price of $548, 812 . 50 . SECTION II . An appropriation is made to the Potomac River water supply capital project fund, Account No. 70000 . 810 , Transmission Line, in the amount of $560, 000 . 00 . Mr. Cole commented that, since Council has voted for the plant, we have to have the transmission line . Mr. Niccolls explained that this is a unit price contract. The ultimate cost of the line will be de- termined by the amount of rock and other types of excavation exper- ienced, as well as the amount of backfill, etc . This contract sum MINUTES OF AUGUST 28, 1979 SPECIAL MEETING. 58 represents the extension of unit prices against estimated quantities. We have, in the past few years , added two percent to these for ap- propriation purposes , so this has been rounded to $560 , 000 . If the price comes in at less, we have an over-appropriation; like- wise, if it comes in over, we have to come back for another one. In the total project budget, we have allowed $250 , 000 for contin- gencies. For planning purposes, we use four and hope it comes in at two. The resolution was unanimously adopted: Aye : Councilmembers Cole, Herrell , D. Hill , M. Hill, Murray, Tolbert and Mayor Rollins. Nay : None. 79-123 - RESOLUTION - AUTHORIZING A CONTRACT FOR NORMANDY VILLAGE STORM DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS. On motion of Mr. Cole, seconded by Mr. Tolbert, the following resolution was proposed: RESOLVED by the Council for the Town of Leesburg, Virginia, as follows: SECTION I . The Manager is authorized and directed to enter into a lump sum contract with V.W.V. Construction, Incor- porated of Chantilly, Virginia for Normandy Village Storm Drainage Improvements in accordance with contract documents, plans and specifications dated July 1979 prepared by Bengt- son, DeBell and Elkin, Incorporated and the lump sum bid submitted August 27 , 1979 by V.W.V. Construction Incorpor- ated at a contract price of $54 , 325 . SECTION II. An appropriation is made from the general fund to account number 10110 . 852 in the amount of $54 , 325 . Mr. Niccolls said the committee discussed this and felt it should not wait until the September 12th meeting. They askedfor a refer- ence check and this has been done. This is a relatively new firm and management has worked for Corman. They are doing work for Toys R Us and they have done a storm sewer job for Fairfax County. Both project managers said they have done good work. This is a smal contract well within the scope of what they feel they can do. They are supposed to finish the work in 60 days . Mr. Cole said the resi- dents of this area will be glad to have this work done - their yards are sliding into the ditches. Mr. Niccolls said this includes seed- ing, careful grading, etc . - complete restoration. The surface water has been handled in various ways - there is one new drop inlet. Mr. Shope said there are swales along the centerline pipe and other drain pipe. The resolution was unanimously adopted: Aye : Councilmembers Cole, Herrell, D. Hill, M.
