Section 12 of the existing agreement enables NGR to assign its interest in the agreement <br />to another person or entity by providing written notice to Kittitas County. NGR wishes to <br />assign its interest in this contract and all related water rights to E. James Nelson Family <br />Limited Partnership ("Nelson Ltd Partnership"). Kittitas County, NGR, and Nelson Ltd <br />Partnership also wish to extend the term of the agreement. A contract amendment has <br />been prepared to extend the agreement, document the assignment to Nelson Ltd <br />Partnership, and update the notice provisions accordingly. <br />DISCUSSION: <br />These service contracts with private water bank entities help ensure that water held by <br />private banks is retained for use within Kittitas County and further secure the availability <br />of water for use within the County. <br />FISCAL IMPACTS: <br />By selling private mitigation certificates, Kittitas County continues to collect the revenue <br />required to support program staffing and to collect the in -lieu fee for watershed <br />management identified in Kittitas County's 2014 Settlement Agreement. The County <br />foregoes collecting the cost recovery fee component, as this portion of the fee is directed <br />to the private water bank. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />Exhibit 1: Resolution <br />Exhibit 2: First Amendment to the Contract for Services Sale of Water Mitigation <br />Certificates <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />PUBLIC WORKS BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />
