SUBJECT: An agreement between the City of Houston and the Co-Participants of the Chelford City MUD Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant to Expand the Plant's Service Area.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt an ordinance approving and authorizing an agreement between the City of Houston and the Co-Participants of the Chelford City MUD Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant.
PREVIOUS HISTORY AND SCOPE: Chelford City MUD ("Chelford City") entered into a series of contracts called "Contract for financing, construction and operation of regional wastewater treatment facilities (the "Contracts")". The Contracts provide procedures for Chelford City to serve the needs of co-participants by the construction, improvement, enlargement, extension or repair of Chelford City's Waste Disposal System, including the Chelford City Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant (the "Plant"), and for the adjustment of the area served (the "Service Area") by the Plant.
The City of Houston (the "City") is a co-participant in the Plant as a result of annexing West Houston Municipal Utility District and Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 98 under Ordinances 1984-1588 and 1986-1972.
On February 13, 2013, under Ordinance 2013-0120, City Council approved an agreement expanding the plant's service area to be adjusted to add a 10.53 acre tract of land requested by a co-participant, Mission Bend Municipal Utility District No. 1.
SCOPE OF THIS AGREEMENT: Chelford City is now requesting approval from all co-participants for the expansion of the Service Area. Chelford City has requested that the plant's service area be adjusted to add a 17.857 acre tract of land, which is to be annexed into Chelford City. This Agreement does not provide Chelford City any right, title or interest in any sewage treatment capacity or any other interest pursuant to existing contracts.
