THE CITY OF WOODBURN RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council ratifies its decision of July 13, 2009 that water
services should be extended outside city boundaries based upon a public
health emergency existing in the water distribution the Shalimar, Draiftwood,
and Chateau Ranchettes because of the non -viability of these water systems
due to non-compliance with the EPA requirements for arsenic.
Section 2. The City Council finds that it is in the public interest that water
services should be extended outside city boundaries because the City has
secured a $2.8 million dollar American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)
grant with no local match to expand the City water system and to upgrade the
non-viable water systems.
Section 3. The City Council further finds that the ARRA grant will be
administered by the Oregon Economic and Community Development
Department and that the City will enter into an Intergovernmental Agreement
(IGA) regarding the grant program.
Section 4. The City Council further finds that, consistent with existing City
requirements, all water users located outside of the City boundaries shall be
billed at a rate of 1.5 times the current rate for residents within the City of
