**This item was presented to the UAB on July 8, 2021.**
Summary: GRU staff worked with St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) staff to develop a proposed cost participation agreement which will enable the City of Gainesville d/b/a Gainesville Regional Utilities (“GRU”) to comply with Minimum Flows and Levels (MFLs) rules for Lakes Brooklyn and Geneva. Under the proposed agreement GRU will pay $2.71 million to SJRWMD as a cost participation for the Black Creek Water Resource Development Project. The agreement will ensure GRU’s compliance with these MFLs through at least 2045. GRU will pay the money into an escrow account, which has a separate escrow agreement associated with it. The proposed cost participation and escrow agreements will be presented to the SJRWMD governing board for their approval on July 13, 2021. Staff recommends that City Commission approve the agreements and have the mayor sign them, upon approval of SJRWMD | Approved as Recommended | Pass |
