Consideration, Discussion, and Take Possible Action on Approval to Submit Letter of Intent to Performance Services of Texas, Inc. ("PSI") Regarding Investment Grade Audit to perform services related to the installation of water meters and Advanced Metering Infrastructure or AMI, in an amount not to exceed forty three thousand eight hundred dollars and zero cents ($43,800.00). Chip Woods, Business Development Manager with Performance Services, Inc. (PSI) shared information regarding the history of PSI and their project objectives being reduction in water loss, increased accuracy and transparency, introduction to operations and maintenance efficiencies, addressing infrastructure challenges, and distribution monitoring. Brandon Carlson, CIAMAC committee member, reached out to five other cities. They were all very pleased with the customer service, reduction in water loss from 28 to 8% and recovery of costs. The council discussed it in detail. Meter warranty, 20 year pro rated, improved battery technology, long lasting lithium, anticipates full 20 year life. 15 is the recommended years of life for the meters. This would be a time saver for current Inframark employees and a good opportunity to discuss expectations of the anticipated 100 plus hours. Recap - Why PSI? #1 focus is customer satisfaction, guaranteed performance, no upfront costs, no budget dollars needed (pays for itself with today's dollars and tomorrow's savings). The PSI Process has four stages of energy savings Performance Contracting. 1) Preliminary Utility Audit (identify existing conditions); 2) Investment Grade Audit (define existing conditions, establish utility baselines and final pricing) 60- 90 day timeline; 3) Implementation (subcontracting, project schedule and  management, training) estimated 4-5 months;  1IPage  City Council Minutes September 19, 2023    4)M&V/Energyl yLeadership (monitoring, measurement and verification, Blanco staff training/community education). The audit provides us with a benchmark and the lead and copper replacement would be a huge savings.

As owners oft the property, we want to convert the existing storage units into three (3) individual apartments which would require an R4 zoning change. Without the rezoning approval, we would not be able to realize the desired use of the propertywhich would hinder the owners' ability to maximize the profitability of thei investment. Without the rezoning of the property, the strict enforcement oft the zoning regulations would hinder the owners from maximizing the investment and we would not be ablet to enjoy the opportunity to realize that maximized investment as others have in the city. An example of another property that enjoys that same benefit is evident just across the street at 803 Pecan! St, which was formerly a single-family unit that was repurposed into a multi-family three (3) unit property. Thei inability oft the owners to rezone would deny them of the same reasonable use that other property owners have The granting of this variance would not in any way be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare nor be injurious to other property or prevent the enjoyment of adjacent property owners. By adding additional residential units, it will allow ani increase in availability of housing to those that are looking for moderately priced housing to reside in Blanco in an economic environment thati is sometimes prohibitive to moderate to lower income individuals. The conversion to residential units will reduce traffic along gth Street due to thet fewer number of tenants. The remodeling of thé building will include the complete exterior including new windows and doors. The adjacent properties will benefit from thei increased value of the property and the reduction of the commercial nature of the current mini-storage  Page 3, Item 2:  enjoyed throughout the city. Page 3, Item 3:  business. Page 3, Item 4:  The hardship is not al result of the owners' actions. We inherited the current zoning from the previous owners that had this business model established previously, int factl Ibelieve that the business model dated back to multiple owners int the past. This is not al hardship request based on economic or financial distress, it is simply the desire to improve our investment in this property and continue to contribute to the improvement of the city in general. We strongly believe The variance willi improve thet functionality of the property by reducing the commercial traffic on gth Street. Ity will provide a more stable residential area in what we believe willl be ai future bedroom community area of the city. The mini- storage business does not have many tenants that reside in1 the city of Blanco and thus do not contribute locally tot the economy apart from limited funds that currently are received byt the business. Adding long term residents or short-term  that this variance will allow us the opportunity to do both.  Page 3, Item 5:  residents will directly impact the city economy and growth.

The purpose oft this letter is to bring to your attention the lack of full municipal services at the Property, which was annexed into the City of Blanco (the "City") more than seventeen (17) years ago through City Annexation Ordinance No. 353 (seel Exhibit"*A"). In addition, thel Property was rezoned on or about November 15,2021, to R-5 residential from C-1 Commercial without statutory notice and procedures being followed. Finally, ai formal publici information request is being presented tot the City regarding documentation concerning these matters. Accordingly, please direct all future communications regarding this As you are aware, Ch. 43 oft the Tex. Loc. Gov't Code requires municipalities to provide a service plan to guide the integration of newly annexed areas into a municipality's jurisdiction. Section 43.056 describes al list ofservices that must bej provided to annexed areas and establishes at timeline of four and one-half (4 Y) years for those services to be provided. To date, Tiger Car Wash has been paying municipal taxes for a very. long time, but the Property remains without wastewater service, which is a required service within Section 43.056(b)(5). As result, demand is made ofthe City to immediately provide wastewater service to the Property or to voluntarily dissannex the Property from the City's full-purpose jurisdiction. If either of these demands are not satisfied, Tiger Car Wash will seek a writ ofi mandamus from a court having, jurisdiction in order to compel Chapter 211 of the Texas Loc. Gov't. Code requires municipalities to comply with a prescribed procedural process and toj provide notice of zoning changes to affected property owners in order to provide said owners the opportunity to protest. Here, the Property was reclassified from C-1 Commercial to R-5 High Density Residential Transition without statutory notice being provided to Tiger Car Wash and requisite procedures being followed. Accordingly, Tiger Car Wash will seek declaratory judgment and injunctive relief from a court having jurisdiction unless the City  matter to me.  the City to act, in accordance with Tex. Loc. Gov'to Code 43.056(1).  rectifies the illegal rezoning oft the Property on its own.  P.O.
