To: CGMA City Managers
Subject: Sale of GTUA-CGMA Minimum Take or Pay to Participant City
Date: November 30, 2016
Both Melissa and Anna used water in excess of their required GTUA-CGMA minimum take or pay
(MT/P) through the North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) agreement for the water year
ended July 31, 2015. Based on the precedent initiated in 2010 and continued through 2013, a member
City may acquire a portion of the MT/P from other CGMA member Cities at an agreed price. If there
were no other source of water, the price would be the standard CGMA-GTUA price based on the MT/P,
unless the purchasing city had exceeded its MT/P. In the case of both Melissa and Anna, however,
both have significantly exceeded their MT/P. Once a city exceeds their MT/P for any year, they have
the right by contract to acquire additional water under the NTMWD excess rate for the applicable water
year. Or, in the case of Melissa, they could intentionally choose to shift the use to either the GTUA /
CGMA meter or to their previously existing supply meter with NTMWD (hereinafter referenced as the
original NTMWD meter) which would be at a lesser cost per 1000 gallons or they (Melissa) could
choose to shift consumption to the GTUA-CGMA meter to use some of the other cities Minimum Take
or Pay (MT-P) if the cost were attractive. In past years, until 2015), the reduced cost has been the
average price between that which they would have paid if taken from the original NTMWD meter and
the GTUA-NTMWD rate. In 2015, however, Melissa and Anna both exceeded their MT/P thus
affording them the option of buying NTMWD water at the excess water rate. The excess water rate is
the easiest option to understand and to calculate; additionally, it was the methodology used in the buy-
sell agreements for the 2015 water year (one year ago). This action has allowed other CGMA Cities
an opportunity to recoup a portion of the MT/P water cost paid during the water year.
For the recently completed 2016 water year (ended July 31, 2016) both Melissa and Anna exceeded
their MT/P sufficiently to purchase 100% of the other two cities (Van Alstyne and Howe) MT/P. The
details of the proposed transaction are provided below; the explanation and process are intended to
be as simple as possible. The basic concept is that two CGMA Cities (Van Alstyne and Howe) sell
100% of their MT/P since neither used any water in the 2016 water year, to Melisa and Anna at the
excess water price / cost of that water as detailed below; this summary is an update of the same
document from last year. The 2016 water year is the first time that the full CGMA (all four cities) MT/P
was used, and more significantly, the two user cities used enough extra water over their MT/P to
purchase 100% of the two non-user cities’ MT/P.
Background:
Minimum Take or Pay / City - CGMA City MT/P: The base MT/P water purchase for the 2016
water year (minimum contract provision that the GTUA-CGMA system has with NTMWD for water)
was a total of 237,250,000 gallons of water annually (MT/P amount) which represents 237,250
one-thousand gallon increments (K gals). Each CGMA City is responsible for 59,312.5 K gals plus
pumping and related cost). Once all four CGMA Cities reach the MT/P, or when any combination
Exhibit A
2
of cities exceed the total CGMA MT/P volume for the subject water year, the excess water is
charged to that respective City or cites at the cost then in effect for excess volumes (plus
proportionate pumping and related costs) over the 59,312,500 gallon volume which is the
responsibility of each City. A blend of the base rate and the District excess water rate would allow
the cities to acquire water at an attractive rate if the MT-P was exceeded for the applicable water
year. When the MT/P is exceeded, a new MT/P is established for the subsequent year. By
acquiring unused MT/P, the purchasing cities are allowing the selling cities to recoup a portion of
the cost they paid during the water year for their obligated MT/P plus the intra CGMA buy -sell
arrangement helps to keep the total CGMA MT/P at a lower level thus facilitating the continued
buy-sell arrangement for future years and keeping the total MT/P at a lower level for all.
2015-2016 water year take - For the recently ended water year, only Melissa and Anna have
taken their respective full MT-P water. For the water year ended July 31, 2016, Melissa and Anna
took water through most of the year and with growth both have experienced will continue to take
water year round for future years. Neither Van Alstyne nor Howe took any water in the 2016 water
year; it is expected that Van Alstyne will begin taking water in the fall of 2016 and is likely to take
water for about 80% of the 2016-f17 water year. No target date has yet been set for Howe to take
water. During the 2016 water year ground water supplies continued to provide a significant
portion of the water used by Anna and all of the water used by Van Alstyne and Howe;
ground water will continue to be used by these cities in the 2017 water year although it is
expected that ground water will be used to accommodate growth less than surface wate r.
Break out of Maintenance Water - In an effort to assure equity in charges, the impact of user
flushing or maintenance water was adjusted. It is also noted the volume of flushing and
maintenance water decreased in 2016 from 2015 since there was more consistent pumping which
reduced flushing and maintenance water needs. Thus, the two user cities (Melissa and Anna) are
being assessed for all of the use related flushing and lost and unaccounted for water which totaled
about 15,000 gallons. Absent use, there would have been no flushing or lost and unaccounted for
water; this represents a slight modification of the charge out methodology. In prior years, there
was excess flushing due to fewer cities taking and the total volumes being much less. Thus, the
shift to charging user cities for administrative and lost water is deemed appropriate. The total
unaccounted for water is divided into two equal pools:
- The first pool is shared equally by the user cities (based on the assumption that any level of
use contributes to the flushing and some of the lost water).
- The second pool is allocated to the user cities based on the proportional use of each using
city as a % of total system water (based on the assumption that use volume contributes to
unaccounted water in the metering process.
The actual amount charged to the user cities is only slightly higher than in the prior year; the
percentage of water charged is less than the percentage the lost and unaccounted for water
represented in prior years.
Melissa background of separate NTMWD take point - Melissa actually takes / receives water
from two points of delivery: one being the original Melissa connection with McKinney to receive
water from NTMWD which dates back over 25 years and the second being the GTUA – CGMA
transmission system. Each of these connections is separately metered; the original meter has a
MT/P like the GTUA system. Melissa actual use from the GTUA – CGMA meter was 83,834,000
gallons or 83,834 K gallons which was 24,521,700 gallons over their MT/P. Stated in water billing
terms (1000 gallon increments), this represents 24,521.7 K gallons (1000 gallons).
3
Buy-Sell rate calculation - The prior year’s practice of rate determination for the extra water has
been based on Melissa purchasing the water in excess of the CGMA MT/P from other CGMA Cities
at a blended rate. That blended rate is based on the fact that Melissa could have purchased more
excess water from their original meter at significant discount. The same excess water purchase
provision for each participant city or aggregate CGMA membership (after MT/P is met) applies to
all CGMA member cities. Thus this concept will be the basis of determining the rate for the buy -
sell agreements between using cities and non-using or using less than the required MT/P cities.
For the 2016 water year, the standard rate / K gallons was $2.34 and the excess water rate was
$0.46 / K gallons. It is noted that the using cities have all been invoiced for the McKinney Pass-
Through Agreement charges and the GTUA pumping and administrative charges. The principal
issue to be determined is if the non-users wish to recoup a small portion of the water cost they
have already paid. Thus, the buy-sell agreements only address the price of the bought or sold
potable water.
Historical calculation rationale - As explained in prior years, Melissa could have saved some
costs by maximizing the consumption from the original line since that consumption would have
been at the excess water rate which would represent savings in water purchase costs by paying
the excess water rate applicable to their original NTMWD / McKinney meter; that meter does not
have the McKinney Pass Through Charges or GTUA pumping charges added. However, such
action would have resulted in a very large increase in the MT/P for the original meter, Melissa
followed the practice of moderation for that meter which was more prudent in the long term, thus
opening the opportunity for the other three CGMA Cities to sell a portion of their MT/P from the
GTUA-CGMA meter to Melissa and thus through the buy-sell agreements help keep the CGMA
MT/P lower. Thus, the arrangement allowed Melissa to keep a lower MT/P on the original meter
for future years while helping to use a portion of the other CGMA Cities MT/P and reimbursing the
other three CGMA Cities a small portion of their MT/P thus also keeping the total MT/P lower.
Continuation of Historical Calculation Methodology - It is proposed that the same rate
methodology be applied to water purchases by both Melissa and Anna at the historical practice for
Melissa.
Cost Calculations for 2015-16 water year - The cost calculations for the above described MT/P
transaction that was agreed to in prior years was $1.40 / K gallons for the 2016 water year. This
rate was determined by averaging the MT/P excess water rate ($0.40 / K gal) with the NTMWD
customer city base rate ($2.34 / K gal). This rate was an average of the normal CGMA Customer
City rate and the NTMWD Customer City Excess Water Rate for 2016 as illustrated below:
2016 data
Entities CGMA MT/P water / 1000 GPD Melissa Excess Water Blended Average
rates $2.34 $0.46 $01.40
In 2016, both Melissa and Anna took significantly more water than in prior years. In fact, the
Melissa – Anna talk fulfilled both their individual City MT/P volumes and even a fulfilled 100% of
the Van Alstyne and Howe MT/P volumes (neither VA or Howe took any water in the 2016 year;
VA is expected to take in the 2016-17 water year). The total water take in the 2016 water year
set a new MT/P for both taking cities and for the CGMA as a whole.
4
2016 Water Compared to MT-P – In water year 2015 the historical practice was followed except
with two Cities exceeding the MT-P, the process was adjusted to provide that unused water be
prorated for purchase by the buying cities from the selling cities. Since the volume of excess water
to be purchased for the recently completed 2016 water year exceeded the full MT/P of both selling
cities, the proration is technically a moot point for 2016, but as a technical matter, the proration
methodology is being followed…..with the proration being 100% of the collective unused MT/P. In
summary, the purchasing cities are acquiring significantly more and the selling cities are
selling100% of their MT/Ps. Additionally, this practice actually encourages a City with other options
(could be separate surface source like Melissa or available well capacity like Anna) to use a portion
of the CGMA Cities MT/P by allowing that City to preserve other sources of water or to keep the
other MT/P lower, at least up to the time that all the CGMA Cities are using their MT/P. Calculation
of the proportionate share of unused MT-P to be sold is as follows:

Cities (Van Alstyne, and Howe) the above calculated pro-rated portion of the Van Alstyne and
Howe unused CGMA MT/P for the 2016 water year. In actuality, both Melissa and Anna used
in excess of the additional other cities MT/P as shown in the first chart on page 4.
Selling City Actions - Van Alstyne, and Howe may agree to sell the above noted total of
118,625 K gallons (59,312.5 K gallons each) of MT-P water to Melissa and Anna at the agreed
rate of $1.40 / K gallons; the ratio of excess water used by Anna and Melissa is applied to the
formula to arrive at the amount each will buy from Van Alstyne and Howe at the blended rate of
$1.40 / K gallons with the total amount shown in the above table. Under this scenario,
Melissa would pay a total of $83,037.50 and Anna would pay a total of $83,037.50 broken
down by City as indicated above with each selling city receiving the same amount as
each buying City will be paying. It is noted that the amounts are significantly more than in
2015. With continued growth, consumption is expected to escalate in the 2017 water year and
will likely exceed the 2016 water year, although it is unlikely to be as much grown as
experienced from 2015 to the 2016 water year.
Process / Steps:
1. GTUA has verified the volumes from NTMWD billings; the above is believed to be the final
calculations or near final calculations of water purchased from NTMWD.
2. Each of the two selling Cities may adopt a Resolution authorizing an inter-local agreement to
sell the above noted MT/P to Melissa and Anna at the agreed rate.
3. Melissa and Anna may adopt a Resolution authorizing an inter-local agreement to purchase
the above noted MT/P from the two respective Cities at the agreed rate.
4. An inter-local agreement will be attached to each of the Resolutions noted in items 2 & 3
detailing the provisions of the sale / purchase between the selling CGMA Cities (Van Alstyne
and Howe) and the purchasing Cities (Melissa and Anna).
5. Following approval of Resolutions and execution of the inter-local agreements, Melissa and
Anna will be able to pay the respective city for the agreed purchase. This can be completed
by late 2016 or early 2017 as the respective cities complete authorization of the stipulated
Resolutions and Inter-local Agreements. .
6. Consultant will be pleased to draft the respective Resolutions based on the same or similar
Resolutions adopted in 2015.
7. It is suggested that this document be attached as a reference document to the inter-local
agreement to help clarify the concept and to serve as a future reference.

DONALD E. PASCHAL, JR. 904 Parkwood Court McKinney, TX 75070 Tel. & FAX 972.529.1325 email: don@paschalconsulting.com To: CGMA City Managers Subject: Sale of GTUA-CGMA Minimum Take or Pay to Participant City
Date: November 30, 2016
Both Melissa and Anna used water in excess of their required GTUA-CGMA minimum take or pay
(MT/P) through the North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) agreement for the water year
ended July 31, 2015. Based on the precedent initiated in 2010 and continued through 2013, a member
City may acquire a portion of the MT/P from other CGMA member Cities at an agreed price. If there
were no other source of water, the price would be the standard CGMA-GTUA price based on the MT/P,
unless the purchasing city had exceeded its MT/P. In the case of both Melissa and Anna, however,
both have significantly exceeded their MT/P. Once a city exceeds their MT/P for any year, they have
the right by contract to acquire additional water under the NTMWD excess rate for the applicable water
year. Or, in the case of Melissa, they could intentionally choose to shift the use to either the GTUA I
CGMA meter or to their previously existing supply meter with NTMWD (hereinafter referenced as the
original NTMWD meter) which would be at a lesser cost per 1000 gallons or they (Melissa) could
choose to shift consumption to the GTUA-CGMA meter to use some of the other cities Minimum Take
or Pay (MT-P) if the cost were attractive. In past years, until 2015), the reduced cost has been the
average price between that which they would have paid if taken from the original NTMWD meter and
the GTUA-NTMWD rate. In 2015, however, Melissa and Anna both exceeded their MT/P thus
affording them the option of buying NTMWD water at the excess water rate. The excess water rate is
the easiest option to understand and to calculate; additionally, it was the methodology used in the buy-
sell agreements for the 2015 water year (one year ago). This action has allowed other CGMA Cities
an opportunity to recoup a portion of the MT/P water cost paid during the water year.
For the recently completed 2016 water year (ended July 31, 2016) both Melissa and Anna exceeded
their MT/P sufficiently to purchase 100% of the other two cities (Van Alstyne and Howe) MT/P. The
details of the proposed transaction are provided below; the explanation and process are intended to
be as simple as possible. The basic concept is that two CGMA Cities (Van Alstyne and Howe) sell
100% of their MT/P since neither used any water in the 2016 water year, to Melisa and Anna at the
excess water price I cost of that water as detailed below; this summary is an update of the same
document from last year. The 2016 water year is the first time that the full CGMA (all four cities) MT/P
was used, and more significantly, the two user cities used enough extra water over their MT/P to
purchase 100% of the two non-user cities' MT/P.
Background:
• Minimum Take or Pay I City -CGMA City MT/P: The base MT/P water purchase for the 2016
water year (minimum contract provision that the GTUA-CGMA system has with NTMWD for water)
was a total of 237,250,000 gallons of water annually (MT/P amount) which represents 237,250
one-thousand gallon increments (K gals). Each CGMA City is responsible for 59,312.5 K gals plus
pumping and related cost). Once all four CGMA Cities reach the MT/P, or when any combination
2 of cities exceed the total CGMA MT/P volume for the subject water year, the excess water is charged to that respective City or cites at the cost then in effect for excess volumes (plus proportionate pumping and related costs) over the 59,312,500 gallon volume which is the responsibility of each City. A blend of the base rate and the District excess water rate would allow the cities to acquire water at an attractive rate if the MT-P was exceeded for the applicable water year. When the MT/P is exceeded, a new MT/P is established for the subsequent year. By acquiring unused MT/P, the purchasing cities are allowing the selling cities to recoup a portion of the cost they paid during the water year for their obligated MT/P plus the intra CGMA buy-sell arrangement helps to keep the total CGMA MT/P at a lower level thus facilitating the continued buy-sell arrangement for future years and keeping the total MT/Pat a lower level for all.
• 2015-2016 water year take -For the recently ended water year, only Melissa and Anna have
taken their respective full MT-P water. For the water year ended July 31, 2016, Melissa and Anna
took water through most of the year and with growth both have experienced will continue to take
water year round for future years. Neither Van Alstyne nor Howe took any water in the 2016 water
year; it is expected that Van Alstyne will begin taking water in the fall of 2016 and is likely to take
water for about 80% of the 2016-f17 water year. No target date has yet been set for Howe to take
water. During the 2016 water year ground water supplies continued to provide a significant
portion of the water used by Anna and all of the water used by Van Alstyne and Howe;
ground water will continue to be used by these cities in the 2017 water year although it is
expected that ground water will be used to accommodate growth less than surface water.
• Break out of Maintenance Water -In an effort to assure equity in charges, the impact of user
flushing or maintenance water was adjusted . It is also noted the volume of flushing and
maintenance water decreased in 2016 from 2015 since there was more consistent pumping which
reduced flushing and maintenance water needs. Thus, the two user cities (Melissa and Anna) are
being assessed for all of the use related flushing and lost and unaccounted for water which totaled
about 15,000 gallons. Absent use, there would have been no flushing or lost and unaccounted for
water; this represents a slight modification of the charge out methodology. In prior years, there
was excess flushing due to fewer cities taking and the total volumes being much less. Thus, the
shift to charging user cities for administrative and lost water is deemed appropriate. The total
unaccounted for water is divided into two equal pools:
-The first pool is shared equally by the user cities (based on the assumption that any level of
use contributes to the flushing and some of the lost water).
-The second pool is allocated to the user cities based on the proportional use of each using
city as a % of total system water (based on the assumption that use volume contributes to
unaccounted water in the metering process .
The actual amount charged to the user cities is only slightly higher than in the prior year; the
percentage of water charged is less than the percentage the lost and unaccounted for water
represented in prior years.
• Melissa background of separate NTMWD take point -Melissa actually takes I receives water
from two points of delivery: one being the original Melissa connection with McKinney to receive
water from NTMWD which dates back over 25 years and the second being the GTUA -CGMA
transmission system. Each of these connections is separately metered; the original meter has a
MT/P like the GTUA system . Melissa actual use from the GTUA-CGMA meter was 83,834,000
gallons or 83,834 K gallons which was 24,521,700 gallons over their MT/P. Stated in water billing
terms (1000 gallon increments), this represents 24,521.7 K gallons (1000 gallons).
3 • Buy-Sell rate calculation -The prior year's practice of rate determination for the extra water has been based on Melissa purchasing the water in excess of the CGMA MT /P from other CGMA Cities at a blended rate. That blended rate is based on the fact that Melissa could have purchased more excess water from their original meter at significant discount. The same excess water purchase provision for each participant city or aggregate CGMA membership (after MT/P is met) applies to all CGMA member cities. Thus this concept will be the basis of determining the rate for the buy-sell agreements between using cities and non-using or using less than the required MT/P cities. For the 2016 water year, the standard rate I K gallons was $2.34 and the excess water rate was $0.46 I K gallons . It is noted that the using cities have all been invoiced for the McKinney Pass-Through Agreement charges and the GTUA pumping and administrative charges. The principal issue to be determined is if the non-users wish to recoup a small portion of the water cost they
have already paid. Thus, the buy-sell agreements only address the price of the bought or sold
potable water.
• Historical calculation rationale -As explained in prior years, Melissa could have saved some
costs by maximizing the consumption from the original line since that consumption would have
been at the excess water rate which would represent savings in water purchase costs by paying
the excess wate r rate applicable to their original NTMWD I McKinney meter; that meter does not
have the McKinney Pass Through Charges or GTUA pumping charges added. However, such
action would have resulted in a very large increase in the MT/P for the original meter, Melissa
followed the practice of moderation for that meter which was more prudent in the long term, thus
opening the opportunity for the other three CGMA Cities to sell a portion of their MT/P from the
GTUA-CGMA meter to Melissa and thus through the buy-sell agreements help keep the CGMA
MT/Plower. Thus, the arrangement allowed Melissa to keep a lower MT/Pon the original meter
for future years while helping to use a portion of the other CGMA Cities MT/P and reimbursing the
other three CGMA Cities a small portion of their MT/P thus also keeping the total MT/Plower.
• Continuation of Historical Calculation Methodology -It is proposed that the same rate
methodology be applied to water purchases by both Melissa and Anna at the historical practice for
Melissa.
• Cost Calculations for 2015-16 water year -The cost calculations for the above described MT/P
transaction that was agreed to in prior years was $1.40 I K gallons for the 2016 water year . This
rate was determined by averaging the MT/P excess water rate ($0.40 I K gal) with the NTMWD
customer city base rate ($2 .34 I K gal). This rate was an average of the normal CGMA Customer
City rate and the NTMWD Customer City Excess Water Rate for 2016 as illustrated below:
2016 data
Entities CGMA MT/P water/ 1000 GPO Melissa Excess Water Blended Avera~e
rates $2.34 $0.46 $01.40
In 2016, both Melissa and Anna took significantly more water than in prior years. In fact, the
Melissa -Anna talk fulfilled both their individual City MT/P volumes and even a fulfilled 100% of
the Van Alstyne and Howe MT/P volumes (neither VA or Howe took any water in the 2016 year;
VA is expected to take in the 2016-17 water year). The total water take in the 2016 water year
set a new MT/P for both taking cities and for the CGMA as a whole.
4 • 2016 Water Compared to MT-P-In water year 2015 the historical practice was followed except with two Cities exceeding the MT-P, the process was adjusted to provide that unused water be prorated for purchase by the buying cities from the selling cities. Since the volume of excess water to be purchased for the recently completed 2016 water year exceeded the full MT /P of both selling cities, the proration is technically a moot point for 2016, but as a technical matter, the proration methodology is being followed ..... with the proration being 100% of the collective unused MT/P. In summary, the purchasing cities are acquiring significantly more and the selling cities are selling 100% of their MT /Ps. Additionally, this practice actually encourages a City with other options (could be separate surface source like Melissa or available well capacity like Anna) to use a portion of the CGMA Cities MT/P by allowing that City to preserve other sources of water or to keep the other MT/Plower, at least up to the time that all the CGMA Cities are using their MT/P. Calculation
of the proportionate share of unused MT-P to be sold is as follows:
Proportionate Share of unused MT-P available to be sold to Excess use City for 2016 water year:
MT-P Melissa Anna Van Howe
Alstyne
MT-P water (all in K gallons) 59,312.5 59,312 .5 59,312.5 59 ,312.5

Thus, the total sale by both Van Alstyne and Howe is: $ 83,037 .50
And, the total purchase by both Melissa and Anna is: $ 83,037.50
Implementation of Sale I Purchase: • Buying City Actions -Melissa and Anna may purchase from each of the other two CGMA Cities (Van Alstyne , and Howe) the above calculated pro-rated portion of the Van Alstyne and Howe unused CGMA MT/P for the 2016 water year. In actuality, both Melissa and Anna used in excess of the additional other cities MT/P as shown in the first chart on page 4. • Selling City Actions -Van Alstyne, and Howe may agree to sell the above noted total of 118,625 K gallons (59,312.5 K gallons each) of MT-P water to Melissa and Anna at the agreed rate of $1.40 I K gallons; the ratio of excess water used by Anna and Melissa is applied to the formula to arrive at the amount each will buy from Van Alstyne and Howe at the blended rate of $1.40 I K gallons with the total amount shown in the above table. Under this scenario,
Melissa would pay a total of $83,037.50 and Anna would pay a total of $83,037.50 broken
down by City as indicated above with each selling city receiving the same amount as
each buying City will be paying. It is noted that the amounts are significantly more than in
2015. With continued growth, consumption is expected to escalate in the 2017 water year and
will likely exceed the 2016 water year, although it is unlikely to be as much grown as
experienced from 2015 to the 2016 water year.
Process I Steps:
5
1. GTUA has verified the volumes from NTMWD billings; the above is believed to be the final
calculations or near final calculations of water purchased from NTMWD.
2. Each of the two selling Cities may adopt a Resolution authorizing an inter-local agreement to
sell the above noted MT/P to Melissa and Anna at the agreed rate.
3. Melissa and Anna may adopt a Resolution authorizing an inter-local agreement to purchase
the above noted MT/P from the two respective Cities at the agreed rate.
4. An inter-local agreement will be attached to each of the Resolutions noted in items 2 & 3
detailing the provisions of the sale I purchase between the selling CGMA Cities (Van Alstyne
and Howe) and the purchasing Cities (Melissa and Anna).
5. Following approval of Resolutions and execution of the inter-local agreements, Melissa and
Anna will be able to pay the respective city for the agreed purchase. This can be completed
by late 2016 or early 2017 as the respective cities complete authorization of the stipulated
Resolutions and Inter-local Agreements ..
6. Consultant will be pleased to draft the respective Resolutions based on the same or similar
Resolutions adopted in 2015.
7. It is suggested that this document be attached as a reference document to the inter-local
agreement to help clarify the concept and to serve as a future reference.
