Authority Materials
- From
- Nicolette Bateson
Good Evening Bill and Tom,
Bill, I understand that you spoke with Sue McCormick today. At her request, I am forwarding
informational material related to the regional authority memorandum of understanding that was signed
yesterday.
Attached are the following items discussed/reviewed at today's Board of water Commissioners workshop.
1) Today's BOwc workshop Presentation summarizing key points of the MOU
2) Executed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) filed with Bankruptcy Court yesterday.
3) DRAFT articles which are being presented to City Council and County Commissions for consideration to
effectuate the Authority.
Please note that the MoU became public yesterday. The presentation and articles were released
teday. The MOU should be considered a "framework" document. If the appropriate bodies approve the
articles (by October 10th), the next step would be drafting a lease agreement.
Copied on this email is Eric Rothstein who has provided technical support and assistance to Judge Cox and
Rich Baird during the county mediation process. As we may have mentioned, there was a "gag order" in
effect for the participants of the mediation. As we move forward, Eric may also assist with developing a
work plan to address the long list ef issues triggered by the Mou.
Thank you,
Nickie
