9.  UTILITIES BUSINESS ITEMS

 

 

                     A.                     A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BRIGHTON,

                     COLORADO, ACTING BY AND THROUGH ITS WATER ENTERPRISE,

                     APPROVING A WATER STORAGE AND DELIVERY AGREEMENT WITH

                     FARMERS RESERVOIR AND IRRIGATION COMPANY (“FRICO”) AND THE

                     BURLINGTON DITCH, RESERVOIR, AND LAND COMPANY (“BURLINGTON”);

                     AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE SAID AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF

                     THE CITY; AND SETTING FORTH OTHER DETAILS RELATED THERETO.

 

 

                     Mayor McLean read the title of the Resolution into the record.

 

City Manager Esquibel introduced Utilities Director Curt Bauers.

 

Utilities Director Curt Bauers reported that this Resolution will approve a permanent agreement with FRICO and the Burlington Companies which allows for the use of FRICO’s system and Barr Lake for storage and delivery of the City’s FRICO/Barr shares each year. The 03-320 water court case counted on an agreement like this, so having it finalized is a big step for the City. The agreement itself does not constitute any financial commitment on behalf of the City but it does include compensation from Brighton each year in the amount of $50.00 per acre foot for any water that FRICO does manage through that system. Although the agreement was finalized a couple of weeks ago and approved by both FRICO and the Burlington Company boards FRICO’s counsel contacted staff requesting slight modifications to paragraphs 1.1 and 3.1 regarding the definition of “water share allocations”. The attorneys are still working on the text which describes how FRICO and Brighton jointly will determine the City's final share allocation each year. All the parties understand and agree on the process, just not the precise wording at this time. Staff does not consider finalizing this wording to be a negotiation point, just a clarification, and therefore are still requesting Council’s approval of the agreement at this time. Director Bauers and Special Water Counsel Brent Bartlett answered questions from Council regarding:

-                     Explanation of the amendment to the agreement.

-                     The compensation numbers changing with the change in the consumer price index.

-                     The outcome of the 03-320 water case.

-                     Clarifying the wording changes to the amendment in section 3.1.

 

                     Motion by Councilmember Bell, seconded by Councilmember Humbert, to approve Resolution

                     2015-37 and authorizing the City’s Special Water Counsel to make minor modifications to the language of the agreement if he determines it is in the best interest of the City. Motion passed by the following vote:

 

                     Aye:                     9 -                      Mayor McLean, Mayor Pro Tem Wallin, Councilmember Baca, Councilmember

                     Bell, Councilmember Edwards, Councilmember Humbert, Councilmember Kniss,

                     Councilmember Kreutzer, and Councilmember Martinez

                     B.                     A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF BRIGHTON CITY COUNCIL, ACTING BY AND

                     BRIGHTON REPRESENTATIVE ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE

                     METRO WASTEWATER RECLAMATION DISTRICT FOR A TWO YEAR TERM

                     Mayor McLean read the title of the Resolution into the record.

 

City Manager Esquibel introduced Utilities Director Curt Bauers.
