SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
Summa":
The City is in the process of reviewing current utility service agreements with its industrial district customers to
determine which agreements have expired or are due to expire within the coming months.
TCP\GSL Industrial Partners, has an Industrial District Agreement (IDA) with the City that is valid through December
31,2007. However, the term of its current Water Service Agreement (WSA) with the City expires on November 13,
2005.
It is the City's desire to create concurrent terms for both of the agreements. In order to achieve this, renewal of
TCP\GSL Industrial Partners, WSA will be considered at the time of its IDA renewal in January of 2008. It is
anticipated that each agreement will share the same seven (7) year term depending on the City's ability to continue to
supply water.
Staff has contacted TCP\GSL Industrial Partners, regarding extending the current term of its WSA The Company is
agreeable to the extension of its current WSA through December 31, 2007.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of an ordinance to extend the current term of TCP\GSL Industrial Par1ners Water Service
Agreement through December 31, 2007.
Action Required of Council:
Consider approval of an ordinance authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement with TCP\GSL Industrial
Partners to extend the terms of its current Water Service Agreement through December 31, 2007.
Approved for City Council Al!enda
