Title
Willamette Falls Legacy Project Governance Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the State of Oregon, through the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, Clackamas County, Metro, and the City of Oregon City
Body
RECOMMENDED ACTION (Motion):
Staff will present the update to the existing Intergovernmental Agreement for the Willamette Falls Legacy Project. The updated IGA will be placed on the June 21, 2017 City Commission Meeting for adoption.
BACKGROUND:
The Willamette Falls Legacy Project Partners Group, at their May 17, 2017 meeting, moved to forward the enclosed updated Intergovernmental agreement (IGA) to their respected Commissions/Councils for adoption. The existing IGA expires June 30, 2017.
The parties recognize the need to create a decision-making and organizational structure among the public entities so that (a) the parties can deliver unified direction and messages to outside parties, (b) the Legacy Project is a model of fiscal discipline, efficiency and accountability, (c) the parties have clarity on scope, schedule and budget for all aspects of the Legacy Project, and (d) the parties can effectively collaborate with the Owner, PGE, and other third parties, and to this end, the parties entered into the first Intergovernmental Agreement on July 7, 2016 (the “Original Governance IGA”).
Under the authority of ORS 190.010 and ORS 190.110, the parties now desire to enter into this Agreement for the purpose of amending and restating the Original Governance IGA, in order to, among other things, update the governance structure needed for the Legacy Project during design and construction of the Phase 1 Project.
