II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Sale and Distribution of Reclaimed Water - Commodity Wholesale Agreement with King County
This item has previously been to the Utilities Committee (see Utilities Committee minutes dated February
19,2008, and April 7, 2008). On April 7, the Committee gave unanimous approval for staff to forward
this item to a future COW meeting based on making several recommended changes. Staff opted to
return to Committee to review changes prior to moving forward to full Council. Changes include
updated contact information and exhibit clarification. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD
TO JULY 14 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
B. Reclaimed Water Line Extension Proiect - lnterlocal Agreement with King County
This item has also previously been to Committee. This interlocal agreement is regarding the
construction of the pipeline. As reported at the April 7 Committee meeting, the most significant
changes are evident in Section 2.2 of the draft agreement. The new language states that reclaimed water
will only be utilized as a supplemental source of irrigation for Foster Golf Links, and that the agreement
in no way compromises the City's water rights to the river nor its ability to utilize those water rights.
UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JULY 14 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
