ITEM 5: CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATING TO
EMERGENCY WATER CONNECTION AGREEMENTS.
Mr Carr presented the item. He explained that the OPWA approved an agreement with Rural
Water District #3, Washington County, for emergency water service for Bailey Ranch Estates I
in 1995. That agreement provided for either party to supply water to the other in an emergency.
The interconnect was closed in May of 2000 when the OPWA began serving Bailey Ranch
Estates I with city water. The water district indicated at the time that they were desirous of
eliminating the agreement and the disconnect. About four months ago the rural water district
recognized that they needed an emergency interconnect with the City in order to ensure their
service to the Country Estates V subdivision. Negotiations were begun to develop a final
agreement for both the Bailey Ranch Estates I and Country Estates V interconnect. Agreements
have been negotiated and developed by the City Attorney and the District's attorney. Both
agreements reflect the exact conditions for the supplier and receiver in both cases, and staff
recommended their approval. Mr Helm moved, seconded by Mr Brogdon, to approve
agreements with Rural Water District No. 3, Washington County, for temporary emergency
water service for Bailey Ranch Estates I and Country Estates V, and authorization for the Chair
to execute the agreements.
AYE: Helm, Brogdon, Armstrong, Barnhouse.
