RE: Proposed Amendment No. 6 to Water Service Contract with Charter Township of Harrison
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 Charter Township of Harrison; and authorizes the CEO to take such other action as may be necessary to accomplish the intent of this vote.
BACKGROUND
On 12/14/2020, the Harrison Township (“Member Partner”) Board agreed to the terms of Amendment No. 6 (“Amendment”) to the Water Service Contract with GLWA.
As set forth in the attached Exhibit B, GLWA and the Member Partner agreed to increase the maximum day and peak hour values for calendar year 2021 and beyond. No other contract values are modified by this Amendment.
Additionally, this Amendment updates Exhibit A of the contract, which establishes the Member Partner’s service area boundaries, meter locations, emergency connections, those retail customers outside of the Member Partner’s corporate limits, and each party’s respective ownership and maintenance responsibilities. Exhibit A is not attached for homeland security reasons.
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 2021-2022 schedule of charges.
COMMITTEE REVIEW
This matter is being presented directly to the full Board of Directors for consideration and approval.
