35. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT WITH CENTRAL ARIZONA WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT PROVIDING FOR THE DELIVERY OF EXCESS CENTRAL ARIZONA PROJECT WATER Approve the termination (Termination) of the Agreement between the Central Arizona Water Conservation District (CAWCD) and Maricopa County Parks and Recreation Department Providing for the Delivery of Excess Central Arizona Project Water (C-30-30-023-3-00) dated April 9, 2008 (Excess Water Agreement). CAWCD has provided notification to the County per Section 3 of the Excess Water Agreement to terminate this Excess Water Agreement. The effective date of the Termination of the Excess Water Agreement shall be the December 31, 2016. This item is located in Supervisory District No. 3. Under the Excess Water Agreement, CAWCD provided the County the authorization and mechanism to request excess Central Arizona Project (CAP) water. This water, if determined to be available by CAWCD after water orders of all CAP subcontractors, i.e. County and CAP Indian contractors have been satisfied, will then be made available to those that requested excess water. CAWCD is now terminating the Excess Water Agreement and informed the County that it is terminating all existing excess water contracts from the municipal and industrial pools as the water supply conditions on the Colorado River remain critical and there will be no excess water available through 2019. CAWCD does not anticipate excess water to be available until water supply conditions improve. (C-30-08-023-2-01)
