SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
Summarv:
The City is reviewing utility service agreements with its industrial district customers to determine which agreements
have expired or are due to e~-pire within the coming months.
Dana Tank Container, Inc. has a current Industrial District Agreement (IDA) with the City through December 31, 2007.
However, the company's Water and Sanitary Sewer Service Agreement expired on October 26, 2003.
It is the City's desire to create concurrent terms for Industrial District and Utility Service Agreements. In order to
achieve this, the term of Dana's expired Water and Sanitary Sewer Service Agreement must be extended to coincide
with the term of its IDA thereby allowing the City to consider renewal of both agreements for the next next seven (7)
year term beginning in Janumy of 2008. It is anticipated that subsequent renewals of the company's agreements will
share the same seven (7) year term depending on the City's future ability to supply utility service.
Staff has met with representatives of Dana Tank Container regarding the renewal and extension of the current term of
its Water and Sanitary Sewer Service Agreement. The company is agreeable to the e~1ension of its current utility
service agreements through December 31, 2007.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of an ordinance to renew and extend the current term of Dana Tank Container's Water and
Sanitary Sewer Service Agreement through December 31, 2007.
Action Required of Council: ~ tlAA/f.M--J
Consider approval of an ordinance authorizing th~~O e~ter ~to an agreement with Dana Tank Container,
Inc. to extend the terms ofits previous Water and Sanitary Sewer Service Agreement through December 31, 2007.
Approved for City Council Al!enda
