John Szerlag, City Manager <br />Hans Ottinot, City Allorney <br />Jane A. Hines, City Clerk <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: The Honorable City Commission <br /> <br />Via: A. John Szerlag, City Manager <br /> <br />FROM: Douglas Haag, Assistant City Manager-Finance <br /> <br />DATE: January 15,2009 <br /> <br />RE: MUNICIPAL UTILITY UNDERGROUNDING CONSORTIUM <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br /> <br />Approve renewal of the current lnterlocal Agreement with the Municipal Underground Utility <br />Consortium. No funds are being requested at this time. The City's total contribution to date is <br />$14,297. Our savings to date for phases 1 - 3 resulting from the 25% discount is approximately <br />$285,000. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND: <br /> <br />The current MUUC lnterlocal Agreement expires on January 1, 2009. The MUUC has decided <br />to pursue renewal of the Interlocal Agreement to continue their work until 2010. Article 7.2 <br />allows each party to the Agreement to participate or not participate in future funding activities. <br />Funding participation has been and always will be optional. The MUUC would rather our <br />community continue to be a MUUC participant and not pay any future assessments than to not <br />renew the Agreement out of current or future funding concerns. There is strength in numbers. <br /> <br />One of the first questions MUUC is asked when they go before FPL, the press or other parties is <br />"how many participants does the MUUC have?" They always want to know. Also, it is always <br />good to be able to show the public we have been doing our best, in spite of funding problems, to <br />remain proactive on this issue that is important to so many people across all of Florida. <br /> <br />Finance Department <br /> <br /> <br />l\genJa Item No,: <br /> <br />10D <br />1- I 5-D'1 <br /> <br /> <br />FunJing available: <br /> <br />Commission Meeting Date: <br /> <br />Cover Memo 1st i\md MUUC Inter/ocal i\gmt Extension <br />
