Monroe directs staff to create wholesale water-rate framework and negotiate contract with Marbella/BlueRock
Summary
Council instructed staff to prepare a wholesale-rate framework for the master fee schedule and authorized staff to negotiate a wholesale water contract with Marbella/BlueRock LLC; both motions passed unanimously.
The Monroe City Council on Oct. 28 authorized staff to prepare a wholesale-rate framework and to negotiate a wholesale water contract with Marbella/BlueRock LLC.
Public works/utility presenter John Landy told the council the city currently lacks a wholesale water rate in its fee schedule and that a current customer, Marbella/BlueRock LLC, requested the city develop a wholesale rate. The council voted on two related motions: first, to direct staff to prepare an amendment to the city's master fee schedule establishing a wholesale-rate framework for council consideration on Nov. 18; second, to authorize staff to prepare and negotiate a wholesale water contract with Marbella/BlueRock LLC consistent with the proposed framework.
Council Member Walker moved both actions with Council Member Hanford seconding; both motions passed 6-0. Staff said they will return on Nov. 18 with proposed amendments to the fee schedule and draft contract terms for council review.
