Report
Summary
The purpose of this Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) is to restate and update the obligations and duties of the cities of Glendale and Phoenix originally defined in IGAs 114154 and 114155, which were approved by the Phoenix City Council on November 10, 2004.
At the time, the IGAs set out the terms and conditions under which the City of Glendale would provide water and sewer service to an area within the boundaries of the City of Phoenix in the area of 51st Avenue and Loop 101/Tonapah Drive.
Because the City of Phoenix is now able to provide water service to the area, Agreement 114155 is no longer necessary and Agreement 114154 needs to be updated to reflect new terms and conditions under which Glendale provides sewer service to the area. Under the new agreement, the City of Glendale will accept up to 78 million gallons per year, or 216,000 gallons per day, and the City of Phoenix will pay Glendale for that sewer service.
Upon execution of the new IGA, Agreement 114155 will be terminated and Agreement 114154 will be replaced and superseded with the IGA amendment language.
Contract Term
The contract term will be for 20 years starting from the effective date of the new IGA, with the possibility of one 10-year extension if both parties agree.
Financial Impact
There is no immediate financial impact to the City. Fees paid to the City of Glendale will be offset by sewer fees paid by customers within the service area.
Concurrence/Previous Council Action
The Phoenix City Council approved Agreements 114154 and 114155 on November 10, 2004.
