I. RECOMMENDATION:
Council Authorization to Amend the Water Supply Agreement between the City and the Pleasant Valley Water Conveyance Partners, LLC (PVWCP) to add two additional members to the PVWCP.
II. BACKGROUND:
In February 2020, the City of Coalinga City Council authorized the sale of 1,000 acre feet of year-end excess USBR water to the PVWCP group. Staff was notified by Westlands Water District that the partners had agreed to include an additional member but to do so required City Council approval since it would change the involved parties to the original agreement.
III. DISCUSSION:
Pleasant Valley Water Conveyance Partners, LLC, (Farmers) consists of Jim Anderson of William J. Mouren Farming, Dave Wood, Don Devine, Rod Stiefvater, Chuck Nichols, and Ken Kreyenhagen. The amended agreement includes a new member, Philip Christensen, NBVInv AF4, LLC. This amendment has no material change to the terms of the agreement already executed between the City and the PVWCP. Once executed Westlands will process the water transfer as originally agreed upon in February 2020. A copy of the original agreement is attached along with the first amendment. The signatures are in kind which the agreement allows.
IV. ALTERNATIVES:
None.
V. FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no financial impact to this action being taken by the Council. | | |
