Body
FUNDING SOURCE:
N/A
PURPOSE:
To adopt a resolution approving and authorizing the Mayor to execute an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with Horizon Six Improvement District regarding water services.
BACKGROUND:
In 1998, Lake Havasu City entered into an agreement with Mohave County/Horizon Six Improvement District to provide contract routine maintenance, emergency repairs, meter reading, billing and testing for the Horizon Six water system. Horizon Six has its own allocation of Colorado River water, which the City is contractually obligated to provide to a point of discharge. Both parties determined that the provision of these services in this manner is in the best interest of the public, as well as most efficient and effective.
The current IGA for water services expires this year. The proposed IGA is for another 5-year term.
The proposed IGA was amended to remove references to the Irrigation and Drainage District and update the rate structure as well as other housekeeping revisions.
The City’s objective with this IGA is to ensure that the City’s costs for providing these services are completely covered so the community is not subsidizing the District’s system.
COMMUNITY IMPACT:
Providing safe, efficient, and effective water service.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No negative fiscal impact. User fees cover cost of services.
ATTACHMENTS:
Resolution No. 24-3736
Intergovernmental Agreement
SUGGESTED MOTION:Recommended Action
I move to adopt Resolution No. 24-3736 approving and authorizing the Mayor to execute an IGA with Horizon Six Improvement District regarding water services.
