Commission authorizes staff to request renewal of Bureau of Reclamation water service contract
Summary
The commission authorized staff to begin renewal of a 25‑year water service contract with the Bureau of Reclamation ahead of a March renewal date and asked the clerk to prepare an official letter to start the process.
Commission discussed the upcoming renewal of a long‑term water service contract with the Bureau of Reclamation that currently covers county stored water in the reservoir. Speaker 9 described prior dealings with a Bureau contact and recommended initiating the renewal process.
The chair asked whether staff could prepare an official request to begin renewal discussions; speaker 9 agreed to coordinate with the Bureau contact and work with the county clerk to draft the letter. Commissioner (speaker 4) moved to approve moving forward with the water service contract renewal and to authorize staff to prepare the request; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Staff indicated the likely next step is a letter on county letterhead requesting the formal renewal process; the county clerk will help finalize content and signatures so the Bureau of Reclamation can begin the renewal process ahead of the March contract anniversary.
