The Interlocal Agreement with MUUC was approved on February 15, 2007 with payments to date of $14,297. A transfer of funds from CIP Contingency to 20-600-5656 for the full amount will be required. BACKGROUND MUUC HISTORY: The fol/owing background information was provided by Tom Bradford, Deputy Town Manager, Town of Palm Beach. Mr. Bradford has been spearheading the MUUC organization since inception and instrumental in its success to date. The MUUC is a consortium of municipalities in Florida that have signed an interlocal agreement to memorialize our joint determination and efforts to mutually support the comprehensive evaluation of the life-cycle costs, cost-effectiveness, and efficacy of undergrounding electric utility facilities, and further to support any activities reasonably necessary to promote the our interests in issues relating to undergrounding electric and other utility and utility-type facilities, including, without limitation, participating in (a) utility tariff approval proceedings, rulemaking proceedings, and any other relevant proceedings before the Florida Public Service Commission, (b) legislative activities before the Florida Legislature or before any other legislative or quasi-legislative body in Florida having relevant jurisdiction, and (c) any other relevant proceedings and activities before any court, tribunal, executive agency, or other governmental entity having jurisdiction. Since each member entity is a political subdivision of the State, having police power we are committed to exercising that power in the interests of the public health, safety, and welfare. We believe that reliable, safe, and cost-effective electric distribution infrastructure, and other utility infrastructure, are critical to the public health, safety, and welfare.
