SUMMARY: The attached draft Cost Sharing Agreement (Exhibit 2-A) includes comments and edits from both MPWMD and MRWPCA staff. It reflects the change from the 50%/50% cost sharing split originally envisioned to a 75% MPWMD/25% MRWPCA split beginning next fiscal year. The agreement does not provide an ownership interest to the District in any physical assets, however the District will own and resell the water. This is similar to the Reclamation Project.

Information in Appendix A will be filled in before going to the Board.

RECOMMENDATION: The Committee should discuss whether to recommend that the Board approve the attached Cost Sharing Agreement.
