Deputy City Attorney Sarah Chilton presented the third amendment to the Microsoft Infrastructure Development Agreement. The original agreement encompasses 279 acres of land with limited water and sewer infrastructure purchased by Microsoft in 2018. Ms. Chilton explained the accelerated development plan for three buildings as cause for the multiple amendments and modified processes that were permitted for Microsoft to begin development of the project. She continued to provide details regarding the amendment request which includes a change to the on-site storage development plan at building two, partially due to volume requirements for water being introduced into the wastewater treatment plant, to receive the certificate of occupancy for the second building, and to receive a building permit for the third building. She then outlined the requirements included in the agreement to meet the City and Microsoft needs. Microsoft representative Cameron Carter, The Rose Law Group, thanked staff, reiterated that the amendment meets all needs of Microsoft, and is excited to continue working with the City of Goodyear. Council noted they are appreciative of the accommodations made to get the project started on behalf of Microsoft and supports the amendment to finalize the plan in a way that addresses the needs of the City. |
