Attorney Reingold revealed that the City agreed in principle on December 17, 2014, and the Town agreed in principle on December 18, 2014, and all have the final version of the Interim Mediation Agreement. He recommended the Board approve the Interim Mediation Agreement; authorize the Chairman and other necessary individuals to execute the Agreement; authorize the County Attorney to execute the City's Waiver of Tortious Interference letter; and authorize staff to start the process of an RFP that would be sent out to find a replacement provider. MOTION WAS MADE by Vice Chairman Solari, SECONDED by Commissioner O'Bryan, to accept the stipulation in principle, authorize the Chairman to execute the final stipulation, and authorize staff and the County Attorney's Office to prepare a Request for Proposal (RFP) or other appropriate procurement documents for the provision of electric utility service, once the current Franchise Agreement with the City terminates in 2017. Commissioner O'Bryan said he had been appointed to sit in on the mediation sessions, and during the meeting, the City kept saying that they were doing everything to lower rates, but every time the County mentioned cessation of transfers to the General Fund, they would say they cannot do that. He felt it was something they could accomplish, as it would have a fairly significant impact on the rates,yet they continue to refuse consideration. The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the Motion carried by a 4-0 vote (Commissioner Zorc absent). 14. COMMISSIONERS MATTERS A. Commissioner Wesley S. Davis, Chairman None B.
