AGENDA ITEM NO. 1D I/TAFF ORIGINATOR: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director DATE: December 28, 2009 TOPIC: Consideration of Resolution 09 -118, Contract for Joint Usage of Water Facilities By and Between the City of Lino Lakes and the City of Centerville VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority BACKGROUND: On March 10, 1999 the City of Lino Lakes and the City of Centerville entered into a joint powers agreement that provided an interconnect between the two cities' water distribution systems. This partnership provides both communities with an alternate water supply in emergency situations. Water flow recording meters where installed on both sides of the interconnection line for the purpose of measuring flow from the Lino Lakes water system into the Centerville water system and the flow from the Centerville water system into the Lino Lakes water system. The original agreement indicated that the meters would be read at the end of each calendar quarter with the city with the greatest net flow billing the other city. Payments were based on the current •sPective City residential rate at the time of billing. Actual past practice has been for the City receiving the greatest net flow to reimburse the other city in the form of water which may be used within twelve months. Resolution 09 -118 simply updates in writing the current method of reimbursement between Lino Lakes and Centerville. OPTIONS: 1. Approve Resolution 09 -118, Contract for Joint Usage of Water Facilities By and Between the City of Lino Lakes and the City of Centerville. 2. Do not approve Resolution 09 -118. RECOMMENDATION: Option 1. •
