WHEREAS the Town of Marana adopted Resolution No. 2003 -33 on April 15, 2003,
authorizing the Town's execution of an intergovernmental agreement with multiple partners in
the Tucson Active Management Area to permit and operate a project involving managed in
channel recharge of effluent in the Santa Cruz River, for the purpose of accruing underground
storage credits and improving and expanding the Town's water portfolio; and
WHEREAS an inexpensive enhancement to the project has been proposed for cost-
sharing among the parties to the 2003 intergovernmental agreement, but staff approval of the
enhancement appears to exceed the authority granted by Resolution No. 2003 -33; and
WHEREAS the Town Council finds that it is in the best interests of the residents and
customers of the Town to authorize the Utilities Director to sign contracts that allow the Town to
participate in inexpensive project enhancements without the need to return to the Council for
individual minor project or expense authorization.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE
TOWN OF MARANA, ARIZONA, hereby authorizing the Utilities Director to spend up to
$10,000 per fiscal year, beginning with the current fiscal year, for costs to permit and operate
managed in- channel recharge of effluent in the Santa Cruz River, including any activities
reasonably believed to enhance the recharge of effluent.
