MOTION
Upon recommendation of Randal Brown, General Counsel, the Board of Directors (“Board”) of the Great Lakes Water Authority (“GLWA”), authorizes the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) to execute Amendment No. 6 to the 30-year water service contract with Township of Bruce; and authorizes the CEO to take such other action as may be necessary to accomplish the intent of this vote.
BACKGROUND
On 11/20/2019, the Bruce Township (“Member Partner”) Board agreed to the terms of Amendment No. 6 (“Amendment”) to the Water Service Contract with GLWA. This Amendment is required by the terms of Amendment No. 3 to the Member Partner’s Water Service Contract.

Additionally, as set forth in the attached Exhibit B, GLWA and the Member Partner have agreed to affirm or modify (i) the pressure range at directly metered locations for calendar years 2020 to 2022, (ii) the maximum day and peak hour values for calendar years 2020 to 2022, and (iii) the projected annual volume for system planning purposes for fiscal years 2021 to 2023.
JUSTIFICATION
Approval of this Amendment provides a mutually beneficial, stable, long-term framework for interactions between GLWA and the Member Partner and incorporates annual system planning volumes, pressures, and maximum day and peak hour values that better reflect future Member Partner usage.
BUDGET IMPACT
The revenues expected to result from this Amendment will be reflected in the FY 2020-2021 schedule of charges.
COMMITTEE REVIEW
This matter is being presented directly to the full Board of Directors for consideration and approval.
