SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
Summarv:
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.
The Lubrizol Corporation has an Industrial District Agreement (IDA) with the City that is valid through December 31,
2007. However, the tenn of its current Water Service Agreement (WSA) with the City expires on November 13, 2005.
It is the City's desire to create concurrent tenns for both of the agreements. In order to achieve this, renewal of
Lubrizol'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 tenn depending on the City's ability to continue to supply water.
Staff has contacted the Lubrizol Corporation regarding extending the current tenn of its WSA. The Lubrizol
Corporation 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 tenn of Lubrizol Corporation'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 the Lubrizol
Corporation to extend the tenns of its current Water Service Agreement through December 31, 2007.
