ACTION ITEMS

 

12.

Consider Approval of Agreements Related to the Carmel Area Wastewater District (CAWD)/Pebble Beach Community Services District (PBCSD) Recycled Water Project Expansion:

(1)     Supplemental Financing Agreement (between MPWMD and Pebble Beach Company)

(2)     Agreements for Sale of Recycled Water (five agreements, each between MPWMD and one of the five recycled water users)

(3)     Amended and Restated Construction and Operation Agreement (among MPWMD, CAWD, PBCSD, and Pebble Beach Company)

(4)     First Amendment to Water Purchase Agreement (among MPWMD, CAWD, and PBCSD)

(5)     First Amendment to Financing Implementation Agreement (between MPWMD and Pebble Beach Company)

(6)     First Amendment to Trust Agreement (between MPWMD and U.S. Bank National Association)

Action:  On May 27, 2004, the Board adopted Ordinance No. 109, which amended MPWMD Rule 23.5 to enable upgrades to the CAWD/PBCSD Recycled Water Project (formerly titled the CAWD/PBCSD Wastewater Reclamation Project).  Under Ordinance No. 109, water entitlements held by the Pebble Beach Company in accordance with MPWMD Ordinance No. 39 were made available to properties throughout Del Monte Forest, rather than only to properties owned by the Pebble Beach Company. 

The project upgrades (“Project Expansion”) addressed in Ordinance No. 109 consist of (1) the addition of advanced treatment facilities at the CAWD wastewater treatment plant, and (2) the addition of storage, treatment, and distribution facilities by PBCSD at Forest Lake Reservoir.  The Board will consider approval of six agreements to enable the financing, construction, and operation of the CAWD/PBCSD Recycled Water Project Expansion.  Public comment will be received on this item.
