The proposed agreement is for a term length of five years and can be extended by mutual consent of the City and the District
The 2017 budget provides funding for this work in IB018, account no. 510-4063-511.73-14 (Water and Sewer Fund). Expenditures will not exceed the funding available for each specific maintenance activity.
