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 and good will these ongoing discussions have been 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.3 provides for the periodic review and right to change certain terms
and conditions. Last September, Olympic View along with the Full and Partial contract holders agreed to
extend Section II.A.3, an additional year to consider the proposal. We are fast approaching the end of 2022
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 2023.
SPU and Renton therefor, 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 the last years’ extension for an additional year.
Agreement
Section II.A.3 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 2021, Renton and SPU agreed to amend Section II.A.3 of the Contract
to extend that date for an additional 12 months to January 1, 2023. This letter amendment extends that date
from the previous extension letter agreement another 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 two-year period to a three-year period.
x Every reference to “January 1, 2022” or (per last year’s letter agreement) “January 1, 2023” set forth
in Section II.A.3 of the Contract is hereby changed to January 1, 2024.
