TD Council Approves Water Agreement With County & Parks

The Dalles City Council approved authorizing the City Manager to enter Intergovernmental Agreements with Wasco County and the Northern Wasco County Parks and Recreation District to cover the cost of municipal water service to District parks and Kramer Field.  The agreements replace designated amounts to the district that were removed from the Transient Room Tax Ordinance in recent revisions.  City Manager Matthew Klebes says as they finish up negotiations, a goal was to provide flexibility for inter-fund transfers.  Under the agreements, the funding would be in the amounts reflective of each entity’s budgeted water costs, and includes provisions for automatic funding adjustments based on future City water rate changes.  In other business, the Council approved amendments to city ordinances on animals that was debated a month ago, with changes in some of the definitions around poultry and livestock.
