City Council Minutes June 14,2011 Pagel of4 11 12 Greg Ingham, City Manager presented for consideration Resolution R11 -244, a Resolution by the City of Plainview, Texas, Authorizing Participation in the Amount of Project Construction Costs for the Canadian River Municipal Water Authority and the Approval of an Amendment to the City's Conjunctive Use Groundwater Supply Agreement with the Canadian River Municipal Water Authority. This Resolution is the City's final step in the process of participating with the other 10 Canadian River Municipal Water Authority (CRMWA) cities in the purchase of Mesa Water Inc.'s water rights in the Panhandle. The Resolution shows that the City of Plainview authorizes CRMWA to issue debt not to exceed $94,275,000 to fund the project; it waives certain notice requirements so that the project can move forward in a timely manner; and it approves Amendment No. 5 to the agreement between the Cities and CRMWA for the purchase and acquisition of a Conjunctive Use groundwater supply. The original Conjunctive Use Groundwater Supply Agreement was executed on May 15, 1996. Amendment No. 5 goes into more detail regarding the transaction spelling out that it is the purchase of water from Mesa Water; addressing various financial specifics regarding the debt issuance; and spelling out the member cities rights and responsibilities, such as what happens if a city chose not to participate and wanted to buy in later but in this case all member cities have already agreed to buy in to their full extent. And the end result of this is that CRMWA is buying approximately 12 million acre feet of water in place. The City of Plainview's percentage of CRMWA is 3.691% so its share of the total purchase will be slightly less than 443,000 acre feet, which will be roughly 144.3 billion gallons of water.
