Agenda Item Text:
Approve Intergovernmental Agreement for the County Attorney's Office to Provide Legal Services to Whetstone Water Improvement District Relating to a North American Development Bank (NADB) Grant.
Background:
Whetstone Water Improvement District (WWID) is receiving a grant from the North American Development Bank (NADBank) for water supply improvements, up to $500,000. As part of the Grant Agreement (attached), NADBank requires an opinion letter from the WWID's attorney (attached) assuriing theem that WWID has the requisitie authority to enter into the Grant Agreement.
Since WWID does not have an attorney, they have asked the County Attorney's Office to represent them for the limited purpose of reviewing the Grant Agreement and providing the opinion letter.
These kinds of opinion letters are a typical requirement for many types of grants, and our office has provided them on many occasions. We are happy to provide this assistance for the benefit of the Whetstone community.
