being deleted. Exhibit A to this agr eement is an explanation of what funding g is provided. In this
paragraph it said that Exhibit A is also going to tell us the project schedules, and Exhibit A
doesn't have project schedules. This is the actual, agreement for the fundin g of the Phase I
Tangerine construction from Dove Mountain Boulevard eastward to where Tangerine currently

is four lanes which is basically La Canada, so it will fund that part. The only piece left is a little
piece of funding for wildlife linkages that will come back to you because that has to g o to the

COUNCIL ACTION
Al Resolution No. 2015-103 : Relating to Utilities; Approving and authorizing the Mayor to
sign a five year intergovernmental agreement with the Metropolitan Domestic Water
Improvement District for the purchase of long term water storage credits. Presented by Asia
Philbin, water Resources Coordinator, who noted that this is a new agreement, term for terra of
a five -year agreement. From. 2011 to 2015, Marana water has been working with Metro water
to store CAP water for long -terns storage credits. The town will acquire at the end of this year a
little over 7700 acre feet, and we are looking to accrue up to about the same amount of credits
over the next five years with Metro water under similar terms. Council Member Kai asked for
the total number of acre feet that going to be purchased per year or do you have any costs? Ms.
Philbin. responded that the town does have the option to store on a year to year basis, so it would
be anywhere from zero to a total of up to 1553.725 acre feet that we might store in a given year.
That is something that we will budget for annually and then determine and provide those orders
to Metro Water. Motion to approve by Council Member Kai, second by Vice Mayor Post,
