SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
Summary:
The City is in the process of reviewing current utility service agreements with its industrial district customers to
detennine which agreements have expired or are due to expire within the coming months.
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company has an Industrial District Agreement (IDA) with the City that is valid through
December 31, 2007. However, the term of its current Water SeIVice Agreement (WSA) with the City expired on June
24, 2001.
It is the City's desire to create concurrent tenus for both of the agreements. In order to achieve this. renewal of
Goodyear's 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 Goodyear regarding extending the current term of its WSA. Goodyear has responded favorably and
has signed an agreement to extend its current WSA through December 31, 2007.
Recommendation:
Staff reconunends approval of an ordinance to extend the current term of Goodyear's 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 Goodyear Tire &
Rubber Company to extend the tenus of its current Water Service Agreement through December 31,2007.
