Reviews and Discussions:
As members of the Advisory Committee the members reviewed the Capital Improvement Plan focusing on water/sewer impact fees and capital improvements.
The Committee reviewed and discussed the location of the present water wells using a map to verify locations.
They are aware of the addition of a new well being planned for east of town.
As a Committee they would like to know what the future plans are for expansion of the waste water treatment plant. Need to consider what we would allow for subdivisions with 1 acre lots. (Water only and no sewer?)
Members were concerned with waste water system more so than water.  What do we need to do as a city to be proactive and not reactive?
Waiting for paperwork from TCOG concerning planning for future growth.  Would like to meet with IDC and EDC in the future for planning.
For now, no recommendations were made to change the existing impact fees.

Adjourn: Motion made by Kristi Staples and seconded by Paula Byler  to adjourn meeting. Meeting adjourned at 8:20 p.m. All Ayes, motion carried.
