When the fiscal 2002-2003 budget is presented to the Council next month, current projects will be
included again.
The "Project-Length Budget Report" for the Bond Project Fund is attached. The "Amended
Project Authorization" is the total that has been budgeted through the Bond Project Fund since the
projects were authorized more that four years ago. The "Current Fiscal Year Budget
Authorization" is the total available from July 1, 2001 through June 30, 2002. Staff will be
requesting that Council approved the Current Fiscal Year Budget Authorization at the April 16
meeting.
Recently, the subject of capital project budgets was discussed with other finance directors. Some
cities approve a "project-length budget" one time and carry the original appropriation until the
project is completed. Oklahoma Budget Law does not address this budgetary method. The group
concluded that, "to be on the safe side," it is best to re-confirm the project budgets annually.
At the begimling of the current fiscal year, all funds had been received. Contracts had already
been awarded for the current projects. Budgets for those contracts had already been approved.
the project budgets were not re-approved as part of the fiscal 2002 budget.
The Bond Project Fund is used to account for the use of the proceeds of the 1998 Revenue Bonds
and the Sales Tax Capital Future Fund as approved by the citizens in an October 1997 election.
original budget was approved by the City Council in 1998. Each as contracts were
approved and additional sales tax funds became available, the project-length budget was amended.

About four months ago (December), 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
At that time, the City began the process of trying to bring the District to the table for negotiation
of an extension of the agreement. During the next 18 months, those negotiations did not make
much progress. However, two other agreements relating to a territory trade and a street repair
policy were executed during that 18-month period.
Then in December of 1999, the water district began having concerns about the extended
"emergency" use of their water supply, and the City, in May of 2000, began serving Bailey
Ranch Estates I with city water and closed the interconnect. On May 30, 2000, the City was
notified by the water district that a rate review was needed and that the agreement provided for
such review and increase. The correspondence from the District indicates there was concern that
the District was serving as a "bulk" water provider and that such a sale was not the mission of the
District. The indications were that, at that time, the District was desirous of eliminating the
agreement and the interconnect.
In September of'1995, the OPWA approved an agreement with Rural Water District #3,
Washington County, for emergency water service for Bailey Ranch Estates!. That agreement
provided for either party to supply water to the other in an "emergency". Even though the
OPWA approved the agreement on September 19,1995, the rural water district did not ratify the
agreement until December 21, 1999. However, during the interim the emergency interconnect
was installed and operational. In fact, for a period of about six months the City activated the
interconnect and supplied water to the Bailey Ranch Estates I subdivision from Rural Water
District #3, Washington County.

THE HONORABLE CHAIR & TRUSTEES

MEMORANDUM
The agreements were negotiated and developed by the City Attorney and the District's attorney.
A letter from Mr Cates is attached for your review.
9. Indemnifies the supplier from liability.
8. Allow the supplier party to discontinue service if the water pressure of the supplying party
falls below 25 pounds per square inch, and
7. Provide for a 10-day notice of a breach of the agreement by either party,
6. Provide for service to be discontinued at any time if the supplier's customers will receive
sub-standard service due to the emergency service,
5. Establish rates at $3.00 per 1000 gallons during any of the three emergency periods and
$3.58 per 1000 gallons during an extended period (a period longer than 30 days),
4. Allow for three emergencies of 30 days duration for each party annually,
3. Require the receiving party to provide a two-hour notice on weekdays and a four-hour
notice on weekends before activating the interconnect,
2. Allow for the sale of a maximum of 125,000 gallons of water day during the
emergency,
1. Establish a term of six years for the agreements,
The agreements provide extensive detail for the use of the interconnect. Generally, the
agreements:

the
subdivision. The District was in the same position in Country Estates V that the City
experienced in Bailey Ranch Estates I, and found that the only reasonable resolution was an
emergency interconnect. At that point, negotiations began to accelerate and progress was made
on developing a final agreement both the Bailey and Country Estates V interconnect.

Subsequent to the negotiations regarding Bailey Ranch Estates I, it became apparent that the Rural
Water District No.3, Washington County, Oklahoma, was desirous of an emergency water service
By way of background, representatives of the City of Owasso as well as the Rural Water District
No.3, Washington County, Oklahoma, have been meeting for some time over the course ofthe last
three years for purposes of discussing inter-connections to provide emergency water service. Initially,
the discussions centered around provision of emergency water service for Bailey Ranch Estates I by
Rural Water District No.3, Washington County, Oklahoma, to the Owasso Public Works Authority.
In actuality, this inter-~onnection has been in place for some time. A previous agreement that we had
with Rural Water District No.3, Washington County, Oklahoma, had expired and we were
negotiating a successor agreement. The issues that existed between the parties would be the term of
the agreement, the number of annual utilizations of the inter-connection, as well as the price to be
paid for the emergency water service. We have now arrived at what I submit is a mutually
acceptable resolution of those issues; however, in that respect, I will defer to yourself as well as the
Trustees of the Owasso Public Works Authority.
As I previously advised, I would be communicating with you for purposes of transmittal of proposed
agreements relating to emergency water service between the Owasso Public Works Authority and
Rural Water District No.3, Washington County, Oklahoma, pertaining to the above referenced
subdivisions within the City of Owasso, Oklahoma. I apologize for the delay in the transmittal of
these agreements; however, the attorney for Rural Water District No.3, Washington County,
Oklahoma, Larry Steidley, as well as myself felt that it would be advantageous to run the proposed
agreements through the Rural Development Division of the United States Department of Agriculture
prior to presentation to our respective bodies. The Rural Development Division of the United States
Department of Agriculture has indicated that, based upon the nature of the agreements, it is not
necessary for them to approve such and therefore the parties are at libeliy to proceed as they deem
in their best interest.
