Strategic Partnerships salutes Texas' Lone Stars
Karen Bondy, General Manager, Brushy Creek Regional Utility Authority
|
| | Karen Bondy |
Career Highlights and Education: My career has focused on developing major water infrastructure projects, including new reservoirs, pipelines and water treatment plants, to meet regional needs. I was named General Manager of Brushy Creek Regional Utility Authority (BCRUA) in August 2018. BCRUA is a tri-city partnership of Round Rock, Cedar Park and Leander to provide water supply for this fast-growing region. Prior to that I was with LCRA as the Sr. Vice President of Water Resources and before that I was with a water and wastewater engineering consulting company. I was raised as an Air Force brat and lived all over the place, but settled in Austin to attend UT. There I received my bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering and master's degree in Environmental Health Engineering, and am a Texas Professional Engineer. Last year I was proud to have been selected by the Texas Governor's Office for the Outstanding Women in Texas Government Outstanding Management Award.
What I like best about my public service is: People care deeply about their drinking water. Water seems simple, but it's actually very complex. I enjoy building public trust that allows people to feel confident that they are being provided a safe, reliable, cost-effective water supply.
The best advice I've received for my current job is: Good communication is the key to successful partnerships.
Advice you would give a new hire in your office: Safety is our top priority. We want to be sure that everyone goes home safely to their family each day and comes back to work the next day.
If I had the opportunity to leave work early, I could probably be found: Picking up my daughters from school.
People would be surprised to know that I: am an avid hiker. I met my husband in Big Bend National Park, we then got married there, and now we bring our twin daughters there every year.
One thing I wish more people knew about the Brushy Creek Regional Utility Authority: BCRUA provides water for some of the fastest-growing cities in the nation. It is vitally important for the economic future of this region and to protect the health, safety, and quality of life for residents.

Anahuac chosen as location for criminal justice center/jail
 The Chambers County Commissioners Court has approved plans to construct a criminal justice center and jail complex in Anahuac. The chosen property is located next to the historic courthouse on Washington Avenue. Commissioners also approved soliciting bids for an architectural firm that would provide an updated estimate of costs for the project.
The current county jail is over 26 years old and is showing its age. The facility is also at 80 percent capacity. The proposed jail would house 240 beds while the law enforcement center would include courtrooms, offices for the county clerks, jury rooms, address medical and mental health needs of inmates, have room for female inmates and provide for growth. In addition, it would be attached to the jail, so inmates would no longer have to walk out in the street to the courtroom. Commissioners are estimating about $85 million for the project and will be addressing funding, which includes the possibility of holding a bond election.

Austin to seek proposals to redevelop three city-owned properties
 Austin city officials may seek proposals in March to redevelop three of four city-owned properties. The three properties to begin the redevelopment process are the former Austin Energy site on Justin Lane, a former home improvement store on East St. Johns Avenue and the former HealthSouth property in the downtown area, according to Rebecca Giello, interim director of the Economic Development Department. City council members in March are expected to consider approval of the request for proposals (RFP) for the 5.5-acre site on Justin Lane. During the same time, the site on East St. Johns Avenue will most likely be handled by the same vendor to lead community input and solicit an RFP from private real estate developers.
Community meetings were held for the Justin Lane project and the community indicated support for affordable housing, artist spaces, parkland and some mixed-use development. City staff members are meeting with residents and community leaders near the site on East St. Johns Avenue, where much of the discussion has been on a space for arts and other organizations. Staff has previously issued a request for information on the downtown HealthSouth site, the first step for the city to issue an RFP this year.

Pamerleau takes formal oath as U.S. Marshall
|
| | | Susan Llewellyn Pamerleau | |
In a formal ceremony in San Antonio led by Chief U.S. District Judge Orlando Garcia, U.S. Marshall Susan Llewellyn Pamerleau, a retired Air Force major general and former sheriff in Bexar County, was sworn in as the 33rd U.S. Marshall in the Western District of Texas. Pamerleau retired as director of Personnel Force Management for the U.S. Air Force at the Pentagon in 2001. She also served as a vice president and senior vice president for an insurance firm in San Antonio until 2007. She won election as sheriff in Bexar County in 2012 and was defeated when she sought re-election in 2016. Her duties in the marshall's office include managing 150 deputy marshalls.
President Donald Trump nominated Pamerleau in April and her appointment was confirmed by the U.S. Senate in August. She took a quick oath in Washington so she could immediately begin work and then took a second oath in September, also administered by Garcia, to ensure she was legally serving as the U.S. marshal. The Marshall's Service of the U.S. Justice Department is responsible for security of U.S. Judges, the U.S. Courthouse, apprehension of fugitives and forfeiture of assets. Formed in 1845, the Western District of Texas includes San Antonio, Austin, El Paso, Midland/Odessa, Del Rio and Waco.

Denton County Transportation Authority seeking proposals for mobility services
 Officials of the Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA) are requesting proposals from firms for Mobility as a Service (MaaS) to provide mobility choices for member cities, communities with contracts and large employment centers in the area. The proposed MaaS is a model that uses on-demand, real-time platform-based services and includes a combination of various methods such as sharing cars and bicycles, car rentals or leases, taxis as the need arises and offers a one-stop experience from travel planning to payments.
The companies selected will be under contract to provide for flexible, efficient and effective mobility services and improve and supplement existing transit offerings and provide multimodal services to areas where traditional transportation options are not as effective or available. DCTA officials are encouraging taxis, microtransit companies, bike share and car share companies, developers of mobility software and any other future emerging innovations that can serve some of the categories included in the request for proposals. The deadline for submitting a proposal is Feb. 26 at the DCTA offices in Lewisville.

Del Rio to seek bids on landfill project
 Del Rio city officials expect to seek bids soon on a project to close two cells at the city's solid waste landfill. The design phase of the project was 90 percent complete in late December and should soon be ready for review and approval by city council members, according to Alejandro Garcia, the public works director.
Work on the project should be completed in about 140 days once construction begins in late February or early spring. After a cell is filled to capacity, the same plastic liner system that was placed inside the cell during construction is placed over the top acting like a giant garbage bag keeping the trash contained and the water out to protect the environment.

Richmond joins with Fort Bend County for $130M hotel/convention center
 Richmond city officials are joining with Fort Bend County Commissioners in supporting passage of legislation that would allow the city to receive the state's share of the hotel occupancy and sales taxes from business transactions within a 1,000-foot radius. Funds from this tax would support a proposed $130 million hotel and convention center project and other ancillary facilities to be developed in a public-private partnership. City officials are working with the George Foundation to develop 336 acres of property located south of the boundaries of the city on Interstate 69 and Farm-to-Market Road 762.
The project would require an estimated $70 million in infrastructure upgrades as the property, known as Circle Oak, is located in a flood plain and frequently floods. If the bill is passed, the city would be required to enter into an agreement with a developer before Sept. 1, 2021. The project is projected to create 1,000 construction jobs that would last about 18 months and 400 permanent jobs that city officials said would benefit nearby taxing districts, Fort Bend County and the Lamar Consolidated School District. Since 1993, state legislators have won passage of bills that permitted 37 other cities to share the benefits of the state's share of hotel occupancy taxes within certain areas.

Regents for Texas A&M System to create nutrition institute
 The Texas A&M University System voted to form the Institute for Precision Nutrition, Responsive Agriculture and Health to operate as part of Texas A&M AgriLife Research. The goal is to bring agriculture and human health together to lower diet-related health care costs, according to Patrick Stover, director for AgriLife Research. Current plans are to assess food quality and consumer favorites to reduce the estimated $1 trillion in costs of diet-related chronic diseases reported by nearly half of all adults in the U.S.
The plan is to create five multidisciplinary research hubs to focus on specific roles in the areas of precision technology, data collection and analysis, responsive agriculture, human behavior and biomedical analysis to be led by faculty from AgriLife and other members of the A&M System. Current plans call for hiring 12 new faculty members for the new institute by next summer. AgriLife officials plan to use existing space to house the institute, but long-term plans are to build a new facility.

By Mary Scott Nabers, CEO of Strategic Partnerships, Inc.
Although the federal government shutdown has dominated media headlines for more than a month, another subject - a cornerstone of the Trump presidential campaign - is sneaking its way back into the news.
Trump's proposed multi-billion-dollar infrastructure plan was expected to be a signature priority during the new administration's first 100 days. Two years later, there has been little progress. Trump's promises hit a few speed bumps and then the border wall became his signature priority.
However, shocking as it is, momentum for a new infrastructure plan appears to be growing. In her address to the U.S. Conference of Mayors this week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she is "optimistic" an infrastructure bill will be passed this year. She told the mayors that infrastructure is one subject on which she and the President may find agreement.
Just last week, approximately 20 high-level members of the Trump administration met with the President to discuss a potential infrastructure plan to put before Congress as soon as the shutdown ends. A 13-year program is said to be under consideration. When the President delivers his on-again, off-again (currently "off") State of the Union address, insiders say infrastructure is likely to be a significant part of his speech.
Congressional leaders may not wait for the President to lead. Some in Congress say a State of the Union mention by the President would help to boost conversations that are already underway. Earlier this month, bipartisan legislation, the Move America Act, was filed. This bill supports infrastructure reform and incorporates some of the original Trump infrastructure plan. The bill calls for an initial funding investment to encourage public-private partnerships (P3s). It also lays out a plan for consolidating state and local funds with private capital and federal funding and incentives.
