RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO
A MUNICIPAL WATER SUPPLY CONTRACT WITH THE LOWER
NECHES VALLEY AUTHORITY
WHEREAS, per Resolution No. 18-104, the City Manager was authorized to extend
the water supply contract with the Lower Neches Valley Authority (LNVA); and
WHEREAS, the current contract is a Standard LNVA Agreement which will expire on
December 31, 2018 and it does not have provisions regarding the sale of water for
industrial purposes; and

from the LNVA for industrial use, the City is not in a position to enter into a standard LNVA
agreement at this time and would like to have additional time to provide a volume certain
of the City's required use per year; and
WHEREAS, the LNVA is willing to enter into an interim agreement with the City for
one year, which will allow for continued water purchases until such time as the industrial
demand for the City's water can be determined, leveled out and accurately allocated, at
which time the City will be able to predict amounts with greater accuracy to enter into a
Standard LNVA Municipal Contract; and
WHEREAS, the City deems it in the public interest to enter into a Municipal Water
Supply Contract with the LNVA, which will also allow for the sale of water for both
