The amount agreed on was discussed once again and voted in favor by the Eagle Pass City Council during their monthly meeting held on Tuesday, November 3rd.
During the discussion portion of the item, members of the Eagle Pass City Council which consists of Mayor Luis Sifuentes, Mayor Pro Tem Billy Davis, Councilmen Rolando Salinas, Elias Diaz, and Councilwoman Yolanda Ramon, concurred and expressed that in no way have they or are contemplating in taking the Eagle Pass Water Works System away from the existing organizational structure it's in.
During the discussion Councilwoman Ramon stated that she would like to clear the air and rumors that the city was even thinking of taking over the EPWWS.
“For clarification, people have been concerned over the fact that they want the city to take over the waterworks. In all fairness to Mr. Barrera and his team, the city does oversee their financials. It's a huge entity and I believe they should be on its own. Why has it been an issue for years of wanting the city to takeover? It has been reviewed and it's fair to say that we're doing the right thing. And they're also doing the right thing,” said Ramon.
Ramon then moved to approve the agreement that will see the EPWWS contribute 2 percent of its annual revenues to the city.
City Manager George Antuna concurred with Ramon.
*You are correct it is an entity that is owned by the City and you oversee their board. The Mayor serves on the board. And I would highly recommend that it stays the way it is and not necessarily bring it in as a department,” stated Antuna.
The City Council further discussed the fairness of the compromise that was established which will run for 5 years and could be negotiated to change the percentage of remittance to the city. The agreed upon amount is a 2 percent contribution of its yearly revenues.
“I think this is a great starting point," added Antuna. 
They then proceeded to vote in favor of the agreement.
In another item related to the same agreement the Eagle Pass City Council voted in favor of an agreement where the EPWWS will lower the Waste Management and Storm Drainage Fees which will save the City close to $100,000 on an annual basis.  
A few months ago, the City and EPWWS began to address that situation and work together to come to an amicable solution.
