ITEM 3. SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND WATER SUPPLY CONTRACT WITH
DALLAS COUNTY PARK CITIES MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT
Public Works Director Jerry Hodge requested approval of a Settlement Agreement and
Water Supply contract with Dallas County Park Cities Municipal Utility District (PCMUD)
and authorization for the Mayor to execute the necessary documents. Mr. Hodge stated
the PCMUD, the City of Dallas and the City of Grapevine have been engaged in a dispute
regarding the water rights in Lake Grapevine for approximately 40 years. The Texas
Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC) recently ruled in favor of the
PCMUD. The ruling established that the PCMUD has first claim on all inflows to Lake
Grapevine because they are the senior water right holder. This includes return flows of
treated wastewater from Grapevine's wastewater treatment plant. Under this TNRCC
decision, Grapevine's return flows do not belong to Grapevine once they have entered the
lake.
Following this ruling, Staff began discussions with PCMUD in an attempt to reach a
resolution to this matter which resulted in a settlement agreement and contract. In the
settlement, the City of Grapevine agrees to withdraw its appeal of the TNRCC ruling
mentioned above, continue discharging its wastewater effluent into the lake, and to not
request authorization of indirect reuse of return flows from the TNRCC during the 40 year
term of the contract. The PCMUD agrees to withdraw its protest of the City's request for
an irrigation permit. Mr. Hodge reported that the PCMUD had approved the Settlement
Agreement earlier today.
The second document is a water supply contract that addresses the City's existing and
future water needs. The projected ultimate average -day demand for Grapevine is 16.1
million gallons per day (mgd). Grapevine's current sources of supply include the Trinity
River Authority, the City's water rights in Lake Grapevine, and water purchased from
Dallas. Staff recommends the City purchase raw water from the PCMUD for the following
reasons: the purchase of raw water from PCMUD will cost less than a direct reuse system;
the raw water purchased from the PCMUD can be used for both irrigation and potable
water supply, while direct reuse is limited only to irrigation and the purchase gives the City
more water supply in Lake Grapevine.
Council Member Stewart, seconded by Council Member Johnson, offered a motion to
approve the Settlement Agreement and Water Supply Contract with Dallas County Park
Cities Municipal Utility District as recommended. The motion prevailed by the following
vote:
Ayes: Tate, Ware, Spencer, Wilbanks, Johnson, Stewart & Freed
Nays: None

ITEM 4. TARANTULA STEAM EXCURSION TRAIN LEASE AGREEMENT, FOR
WORTH AND WESTERN RAILROAD
Mr. Nelson requested authorization to execute a contract with the Fort Worth and Western
Railroad to lease and operate the Tarantula Steam Excursion Train between Grapevine
and Fort Worth. It is a seven year lease which includes equipment, trackage rights and
other considerations for the City during the term of the lease.
City Manager Nelson also requested Council authorization to commit $100,000 of the
Convention & Visitors Bureau's fund balance to match Fort Worth's $100,000 for the
rebuilding and recertifying of Engine 2248. This would enable the return of steam
excursion service between Grapevine and Fort Worth. He also requested authorization
for the expenditure of $28,000.00 for the installation of tracks and related equipment in the
Roundhouse (208 W. Dallas Road) for the repair and refurbishment of Engine 2248.
Funds for the project are available in the Convention & Visitors Bureau's capital accounts.
Brief discussion ensued relative to the City's options at the end of the seven year lease.
City Manager Nelson responded the proposed agreement was for the lease and operation
of the steam train for seven years and specific details would have to be determined before
the end of the lease for the continued operation or ownership of the train.
Council Member Johnson, seconded by Council Member Spencer, offered a motion to
authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with the Fort Worth and Western
Railroad to lease and operate the Tarantula Steam Excursion Train and authorization for
the expenditure of $100,000 of Convention & Visitors Bureau's fund balance and
$28,000.00 of the Capital Projects Fund for the second track in the Roundhouse. The
motion prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes: Tate, Ware, Spencer, Wilbanks, Johnson, Stewart & Freed
Nays: None

Council Member Spencer, seconded by Council Member Wilbanks, offered a motion to
