Mr. Collins stated the same concern expressed throughout was the truck traffic on Odell Street. Mr. Collins stated he was prepared to offer to screen off Odell Street and not allow truck traffic of any type to enter or leave the project by Odell Street.

Mr. Bill Boomer, LandCon Inc, representing McKee Water Service, appeared before the Council. Mr. Boomer stated McKee currently had 320 connections and 30 of those were in North Richland Hills. Mr. Boomer stated they had filed a system wide rate increase with the Texas Water Commission. Mr. Boomer explained to the Council why McKee was requesting the rate increase. Mr. McEntire stated this request would be settled at the Austin level. Mr. McEntire explained that the City's action would have to be coordinated with the other cities also affected. Councilwoman Spurlock questioned when the action might be decided in Austin. Mr. Boomer stated they had not been advised of any hearings being set. Mayor Echols asked if there was anyone present that was a customer of the McKee Water System. Mr. J.H. Davis appeared before the Council. Mr. Davis stated he lived close to Mr. McKee and had been on the water system since Mr. McKee had owned it. Mr. Davis stated his water bill was from $9.00 to $19.00 per month and that he did not have any complaints. November 23, 1987 Page 5 Mayor Echols asked for the rationale on the Staff's recommendation. Mr. Riddle explained to the Council that the records were unaudited and other parts of the system were intermingled with the City's portion. Mr. Riddle explained why McKee's cost to serve these customers would be less expensive than what the City could serve them. Mr. Riddle compared the rates North Richland Hills charged to McKee's requested rate increase. Mr. Riddle stated that without an audited report from McKee to justify a higher rate than what North Richland Hills charged, he felt McKee's rates should be similar to the City's. Mr. Riddle explained that if the Council approved the Staff's recommendation, then the Staff would notify Austin of the action taken by the Council. Mr. Riddle stated that if Austin did not receive any protests then the rates would become automatic. Councilman Ramsey moved, seconded by Councilwoman Moody, to approve the recommendation of the staff for GN 87-140. Motion carried 7-0. 14.
