Explain how this Infrastructure project has been coordinated, or will be coordinated with other jurisdictions, such as counties, cities, stateMaderal agencies, and with leconomic development organizations during planning, design, financing, construction and/or operation phases. The City had worked for more than seven years and spent more than $80,000.00 in legal and administrative fees to expand its southeast UGA. During this process, the City worked with Kittitas County, the Kittitas County Chamber of Commerce, Conference of Government, and the Department of Commerce to identify the adopted UGA. As the recipient of a 2014 COG grant, the City completed a Wastewater Collection System Planning Report to plan the sewer needs for the UGA area to enable economic development in the South Kittitas area. This application is meant to be another "leg of that process" for the purposes of providing City sewer services to existing businesses south of Railroad Av- enue. The businesses in this area provide a substantial number of jobs, and sales tax revenue to the City and have expressed significant interest in remaining at their current locations, dependent upon the City's implementation of delivering sewer service. Providing sewer service will also aid the City with compliance with the Department of Ecology for industrial businesses in these locations. The City will work with the Department of Ecology and the Department of Health in the planning and construction of the sewer improvements.
