On April 13, 2020, Council approved an amendment to this contract which provided two (2) six month extensions to allow time for city and Perryville staff to discuss the terms of an ongoing relationship. The current amendment will expire May 2, 2021.

STAFF ANALYSIS
The city and the State of Arizona have been meeting over the past couple of years to develop the terms of the new agreement. Discussion of scope for needed future improvements to the grinder station and the costs for those improvements are requiring the extension of the Agreement to finalize the details of the long-term partnership.
Staff is working with the city’s legal team to draft the new IGA that will cover the capital and ongoing needs for the grinder station. A twelve-month extension is necessary to finalize the Agreement.
