Approve the Deferral of Final Points of Connection for the West Polk Project (Action)
body
DESCRIPTION
Section 12.1 of the July 13, 2022 Second Amended and Restated Implementation Agreement requires that the Points of Connection (POC’s) and the location of meters used for the delivery of Project Water to the Project Participants be identified by the Cooperative no later than January 1, 2023. At the January 18, 2023 Board of Directors meeting, the Board approved deferring the identification of the POC’s until January 1, 2024. At the January 24, 2024 Board of Directors meeting, the Board again approved deferring the identification of the POC’s until January 1, 2025.
Because the final design of the West Project is still on-going, the Cooperative has not identified the final POC’s for the West Polk Project Participants. Therefore, staff request to defer the determination of final points of connection and meter locations for an additional year, or until January 1, 2026. If the final POC’s are determined prior to January 1, 2026, staff will request the Board approve those POC’s when determined.
RECOMMENDATION
Approval to defer the determination of final points of connection for the West Polk Project until January 1, 2026.
FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact.
