Mayor Armondo Pavone
City of Renton
1055 South Grady Way
Renton, WA 98057
Dear Mayor Pavone,
The City of Seattle, through its Seattle Public Utilities department (SPU), continues to appreciate the
opportunity for and goodwill generated by these ongoing discussions with City of Renton (Renton) and the
Full and Partial contract holders regarding the proposal to amend the City of Seattle Full or Partial
Requirements Contracts. As you are aware, Section II.A.4a provides for the periodic review and the right to
change certain terms and conditions. Last September, Renton, along with the Full and Partial contract holders,
agreed to extend Section II.A.4, for an additional year to consider the proposal. We are fast approaching the
end of 2023 and discussions between SPU and Renton are still ongoing, and we do not anticipate reaching a
signed agreement before the end of this year. SPU recommends an additional one-year extension to allow
for ongoing discussions to continue to the end of 2024.
SPU and Renton,therefore,recognize the continued value of additional time to consider the proposal
and other options to improve the contract and ensure all proposed changes are fully vetted. This letter
memorializes our mutual agreement to extend last year’s extension for an additional year.
Agreement
Section II.A.4 of the 2001 City of Seattle Full Requirements Contract for the Supply of Water to City of
Renton (Contract) between SPU and Renton provides for periodic review and right to change certain terms
and conditions by January 1, 2022. In September of 2021, Renton and SPU agreed to amend Section II.A.4 of
the Contract to extend that date for an additional 12 months to January 1, 2023. Then in September of 2022,
Renton and SPU agreed to amend Section 11.A.4 of the Contract to extend that date for an additional 12
months to January 1, 2024. This letter amendment extends that date from the previous extension letter
agreement an additional 12 months:
x The one-year period for parties to agree on a proposal using the Consensual Process defined in
Section II.A.3 of the Contract is extended from a three-year period to a four-year period.
x Every reference to “January 1, 2022” or (per last year’s letter agreement) “January 1, 2024”set forth
in Section II.A.4 of the Contract is hereby changed to January 1, 2025.
