Council hears update on Hayscom wastewater facility application to TCEQ; legal representation discussed
Summary
Council received an update on a Hayscom application to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to build a wastewater treatment facility and discussed affected-party status and potential legal support (including a proposed $5,000 contribution to SOS for representation).
Council discussed a development application by Hayscom to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to construct and operate a wastewater treatment facility in the city’s extraterritorial jurisdiction. Council said their attorney had not provided a substantive update and that individuals and the city may need legal representation to participate in TCEQ proceedings or to protect affected-party status.
The council discussed options for representation and whether to coordinate funding with affected residents; one council member said, “I have asked Josh to offer SOS $5,000 to, to it's a partial contribution to be represented,” and members discussed whether individuals or the city should retain counsel. Council also emphasized the need to confirm affected-party status and to follow up with the city attorney for a full legal update.
