RE: Proposed Amendment No. 5 to Water Service Contract with Charter Township of Northville
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. 5 to the 30-year water service contract with Charter Township of Northville; and authorizes the CEO to take such other action as may be necessary to accomplish the intent of this vote.

Section 5.07 is modified to establish the universal 4-year reopener schedule now standard in the model water service contract.
Exhibit B, attached, is affirmed and/or modified regarding (a) the pressure range at directly metered locations for calendar years 2023 to 2026, (b) the maximum day and peak hour values for calendar years 2023 to 2026, and (c) the projected annual volume for system planning purposes for fiscal years 2024 to 2027.
