RESOLUTION 1992 -4
A RESOLUTION DECLARING HOW THE CITY
OF NEDERLAND IS AFFECTED BY ONEROUS
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS PROMUL-
GATED BY THE ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION AGENCY.
WHEREAS, the Environmental Protection Agency wants to
know how small cities are affected by onerous environmental regu-
lations, and
WHEREAS, small cities have the opportunity to request
the Environmental Protection Agency to review any current regu-
lations having and adverse impact on their communities, and
WHEREAS, the Environmental Protection Agency is in the
process of compiling a list of existing regulations to be reviewed
and has requested comments from local governments on regulations
that have proved too expensive to comply with or simply do not
make sense to local officials, and
WHEREAS, the comments received will be used by the En-
' vironmental Protection Agency to "review or rescind" existing re-
gulations;
WHEREAS area cities agree on the need to protect the
public health from waterborne disease, to protect the natural en-
vironment and wildlife, to eliminate nuisance conditions, to pro-
tect downstream water supplies, to protect the water sources for
recreational use, and to eliminate deposits of solids in lakes,
streams, and rivers. They have channeled all available resources
to these goals. However, small cities have very limited
resources. The total population of the small cities in this
area is approximately 85,000. The combined cost to comply with
additional regulation to date is approximately $4.5 million and
with additional annual operating cost approximately $150,000.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF NEDERLAND, TEXAS:
That the following is a description of the economic
affects and /or concerns the Environmental Protection Agency's re-
gulations have on the area cities:
92
RESOLUTION 1992 -4 CONTINUED
* Some of the major concerns of small cities consists of
the high amount of rainfall, aging infrastructure and
the lack of funds for the collection system
rehabilitation.
* It will be a double cost to the city for the EPA and the
TWC regulations on wastewater discharge.
* Personnel at the regulatory agencies trying to improve
on certain rules.
* only cookbook responses are received by cities and un-
usual situations and circumstances (environmental,
hydro - logical, geological factors) are not considered by
the regulatory agencies.
* Monthly bio- monitoring can be extremely expensive for
small cities.
* Expensive wastewater permit renewals.
* Expensive stormwater permit applications.
* The elimination of the use of chlorine gas for disin-
fection in drinking water because it can form THM which
is suspected to be a carcinogen. The use of optional
disinfectants, Chlorine Dioxide is expensive.
* Recent studies indicate that THM -s may not be carcino-
genic.
* New sludge disposal requirements will cause an
additional expense for additional lab testing, manpower, '
engineering, permit acquisition, reporting and landfill
cost.
* Lead and Copper testing requiring additional funds for
sampling, analysis, reporting, system evaluation and
system modifications.
* Funds will come from taxpayers and rate payers who are
already concerned with consumer costs.
* There is a need to establish a balance between the cost
and the desired effect of the legislation. The cost to
achieve a smaller number on sewer effluent or chlorine
residual permit limits is in total disproportion to the
benefit.
* Additional requirements such as sludge testing, copper
testing, dechlorination, compositing sampling requiring
additional manpower, biomonitoring, fecal coliform test-
ing, lead and copper rule implementation and surface
water treatment rule implementation.
* Water reuse study required in an area with 60+ inches of
rain per year.
* Usually during a budget year cities may be required to
obtain expensive treatment processes within 30 days of
a request.
* overlapping assignments by the many regulatory agents
requiring the cities to support their activities.
* Cities are required to hire consultant engineers at a
great expense to the cities because there is not enough
technical help from the regulatory agents.
F�
RESOLUTION 1992 -4 CONTINUED
* A change in personnel at the regulatory agencies will
mean a change in the interpretation of the regulations,
rules and procedure.
* Small cities that require water quality standards are
much more stringent than those required of large
industries discharging at exactly the same location.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this the 13 day of April,

UTILITY COLLECTION POLICY
1. Water bills shall be due fifteen (15) days after the date mailed. If
payment is not received by the sixteenth (16) day, a 108 penalty will
be assessed. A grace period of up to two days will be granted if the
fifteenth (15th) day falls on a weekend, holiday, or any day City Hall
is closed.
2. If payment is not received by the next read date, a second bill will
be sent for the current reading plus the previous month's bill and the
108 penalty.
3. If payment is not received on the second bill by the end of the fifteen
(15) day grace period, service will be disconnected. This gives
utility customers a total of forty -five (45) days to reconcile their
accounts before service is disconnected.
4. After a customer's service has been disconnected, all past arrears must
be paid in full in order to reinstate water service. In addition,
there will be a $5.00 turn -on fee for reinstatement during regular
working hours (8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.). If past accounts are settled
and a turn -on is requested after normal working hours, a $45.00 turn -on
fee is assessed to cover overtime for call outs.
5. In regard to temporary turn -ons for customers such as the ones who own
rental property, no deposit will be required, but a minimum bill of
$24.80 will be assessed in advance and will cover the cost of a
temporary turn -on for a period of no longer than two (2) weeks. If the
amount of water used exceeds the minimum used during the aforementioned
two (2) weeks, then the customer will be billed according to usage.
6. Upon the passage of this ordinance, the City will no longer enter into
contracts with utility customers. Contracts already in existence will
be honored as long as the current water bill is paid in full and some
portion of arrears are paid in accordance with the existing contract.
7. Utility customers who pay by check and whose checks are consistently
returned NSF must pay their current and future water bills in cash,
certified check, or money order. Utility customers who habitually
issue checks that are returned NSF will be disconnected until some sort
of arrangements are made with the water department.

PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, Alcohol and other drug- related traffic crashes
claim the lives of more than 22,000 Americans each year; with 22
persons killed in alcohol - related crashes in Jefferson County in
1991; and
WHEREAS, Alcohol and other drug - related traffic crashes
injure approximately 355,000 Americans each year.; and more than 400
here in Jefferson County; and
WHEREAS, Nearly 2,700 of these deaths each year are teen-
agers, meaning that at least 7 teenagers die each day in drunk
driving crashes; and
WHEREAS, Teenagers are involved in significant proportion
of the alcohol and other drug- related fatalities that occur, and
almost 19- percent of fatally injured 15 -19 year -old drivers were
intoxicated prior to the crash; and
WHEREAS, Increased public knowledge about the severity
of the problem of alcohol and other drug- impaired driving may
convince young drivers to refrain from this activity; and
WHEREAS, Graduation time and the beginning of summer is
a particularly appropriate time to focus local attention on the
critical problems because a greater number of students are on the ,
road attending social functions during this time, leading to the
possibility of an increase in traffic crashes as a result of
impaired driving;
NOW, THEREFORE, We Nederland City Councilmembers join
with the Jefferson County Anti -DWI Program and Mothers Against
Drunk Driving in Southeast Texas in designating the week of May 25,

end, the following smoking policy shall be established and adhered
to by all City employees.
