Yes for OSO plant fix -But add stuff to stop the stinky smells!
9
Comment
The Oso Water Wastewater Plant change Order No. 4 fixes are needed.
But the plant can still smell gross sometimes (like rotten eggs from poop water treatment). To make the
air around it fresher for people nearby —like at Texas A&M, the golf course, or houses —I hope you add
these easy fixes now or soon:
• Put special filters (like big air purifiers: biofilters or carbon ones) on vents to catch and clean stinky
gases before they escape.
• Cover more open tanks so smells don't float out, then send the trapped air through those filters.
• Watch oxygen levels better in the water and recycle some good bacteria to stop bad smells from
starting.
• Add sensors that check for bad smells (like H2S gas) ALL the time so workers can fix it fast.
These tricks are normal at modern plants, don't cost a ton long-term, stop complaints. Thanks

District 4
Comment
Good news for Corpus Christi! Vote YES to fixing up the trail at Hans & Pat Suter Wildlife Refuge (that
awesome bird -watching park by Oso Bay with trails, boardwalks, and nature vibes).
A contract for about $149,000 to a local company to resurface the existing trail will basically make the
path smoother, safer, and way nicer to use (no more bumpy or cracked spots!). It's part of bigger upgrades
there, like making it easier for everyone (including people with wheelchairs or strollers) to enjoy.
This means better rides, walks, and bird -spotting adventures soon. The refuge is already a chill spot to
explore wildlife — now it'll be even better!

Comment
Right now, Alameda is in rough shape —it's bumpy, cracked, and honestly, I avoid driving or biking on it
because it's not safe or fun. That's why I'm super excited about this project!
This is great news for our neighborhood in District 2! It'll make the street smoother, safer, and way better
for driving, walking, biking, or just getting places without stressing about potholes. It's funded from bonds
and city funds we already have, so let's get this done!
Please vote YES to approve this reconstruction —it's a big win for safer roads and our community. Thank
you

Hackers are hitting Texas cities hard —disrupting bill pay, shutting down emergency alerts in multiple
counties, and costing millions to fix. These attacks can delay help, expose info, and mess up daily life for
ALL of us.
That's why I strongly support this resolution: Vote YES to let our IT team apply for $419,000 in state
cybersecurity grants (with only a $180,000 city match if we win). It funds better backups, real-time threat
detection, and two extra experts to protect our networks, emergency systems, utilities, online payments,
and more.
No cost to apply, huge safety payoff. Deadline is February 12—please approve today and keep our city
cyber-safe!

What is the immediate plan? Conservation, curtailment, or pray for a hurricane?
About 3 years ago, a Council member said at a public event that the City would never
take water conservation seriously. The Council member said it was because that would
reduce water revenue. It seems the Council member was correct. Over the years I have
given many presentations to the Council regarding proven water conservation plans. I
have spoken to multiple employees of the water department and shared the information
with them as well. So far, the City water department has failed to take water
conservation seriously.
The City can put forward a thoughtful, aggressive conservation plan based on other
proven plans from other Cities. This needs to happen first. Then the City Council
must fully fund it. Then it must be implemented immediately.
It is not rocket science. Just copy another city's proven plan. See link below and
attached graphic.
https://cityofpetaluma.org/water-conservation/
"To conserve water and reduce current and future demands for potable water, the City
provides recycled water to irrigate urban parks, schools, and public and private
landscapes that historically used drinking water for irrigation. Additionally, the
City has a robust water conservation program to help our residents and commercial
customers conserve water. Click here to learn more.
As shown in this graph, the population (red line) has increased over time while
citywide water use has decreased. Improved indoor and outdoor water use efficiency
has allowed us to serve more people with less water than we have historically. To
ensure this is the case for many years to come, and under varying water supply
conditions, the City is working to expand our local water supplies which you will
learn about below."
Besides just focusing on residential use, other rate classes need to participate in
conservation. I spoke with an engineer at Chemours and he assured me they and other
large industrial users can reduce cooling water use by 50%. Other industrial
managers have confirmed the reason they don't implement conservation is because the
water they purchase is too cheap to make the case to invest in the equipment needed
to reduce use.
In addition, as I have presented in the past, smart rate design is also a tool to
conserve water. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUL98pjDUVA Tiered rates reduce
water consumption. They must be implemented for all rate classes, to be effective.
This can be implemented later this year when the new water rates are approved by the
Council.
If the City water department chooses to not implement an aggressive conservation
plan immediately, curtailment will be necessary. The sooner curtailment starts, the
longer the City will have access to water.
Does the City choose conservation, curtailment, or pray for a hurricane? It is up to
the Council to give guidance to the City Manager on which direction you wish to
take.
As always, have a nice day.
