The original Saguaro Springs Agreement for Construction of Water Facilities was approved in

for the Saguaro Springs project, the water facilities agreement was amended in 2004, extending
the termination date to February 12, 2007. Based on the current schedule for development of
Saguaro Springs, staff now recommends the extension of the water agreement for an additional
two years, through February 12, 2009. This item authorizes the execution of the third amend-
ment to the Saguaro Springs water agreement, which carries out the two-year additional exten-
SIOn.
