<br /> <br /> <br />8. Expanded the language on the Technical Commission to further detail its role and authority <br />(Sec. V, p. 10-11). <br /> <br />9. The budgeting and funding processes were updated to reflect the current process and to <br />make clear Member assessments are no longer used to fund VLAWMO’s operations. <br />Member assessments, which is the primary source of funding the operations of most WMOs, <br />is still in the agreement as a possibility if it ever needs to be relied on to help fund <br />VLAWMO’s operation (Sec. 6.2 & 6.3, p. 12-13). <br /> <br />10. Revised the capital improvement language to reflect how projects are currently funded (Sec. <br />6.4, p. 13). <br /> <br />11. The agreement proposes a 20 year term rather than the previous 10 year term to reduce the <br />time and costs associated with having to readopt the JPA (Sec. 7.1, p. 14). The JPA can be <br />amended at any time in the future if needed (Sec. 8.4, p. 15). <br /> <br />12. The appeal and arbitration process was replaced with a dispute resolution process that <br />focuses on mediation as the primary method to seek resolution (Sec. 8.2, p. 15). <br /> <br />13. Various miscellaneous provisions were added to address basic statutory requirements (such <br />as data practices and audit compliance) and other general agreement provisions (governing <br />law, etc.) (Sec. VIII, p. 15-16). <br /> <br />14. The two amendments adopted in 2019 are incorporated into the agreement (insurance and <br />liability, Sec. 4.15, p. 8-9 & revenue bond authority, Sec. 6.9, p. 14) <br /> <br />I plan on attending the meeting at which the Board will discuss the proposed updated JPA and I will <br />be happy to answer any questions the Board may have at that time.
