Council asks staff to study utility‑service alternatives after stalled IUE talks
Summary
Councilmember Perrotta said Inland Utility (IUE) has been unresponsive to questions about a long-standing service agreement and asked staff to evaluate alternatives, including issuing an RFQ/RFP; the council concurred and directed staff to develop a scope of work.
Councilmember Perrotta said the Inland Utility partner (referred to in the transcript as IUE or IUA) had not been responsive to a packet of 20 questions sent March 28 and suggested the city explore alternatives to the current 50‑year service agreement. She proposed directing staff to develop a scope of work and to evaluate whether the city should issue an RFQ or RFP to pursue alternatives or partnerships.
Perrotta said the move could include considering a city-built treatment facility or partnerships with other joint‑power entities. With council concurrence she asked staff, under the City Manager's guidance, to prepare scope and procurement options for return to a future council agenda.
