Due to the Forum’s existing reserve balance, no <br />dues are anticipated to be assessed through at least 2027. <br />Over the lifetime of the agreement, through 2035, Everett’s total financial contribution <br />is not expected to exceed $200,000. <br /> <br />Project summary statement: <br />The Water Supply Forum (Forum) was founded in 1999 by the cities of Everett, Seattle <br />and Tacoma to coordinate the future development of water supply sources in the <br />Central Puget Sound region. Since establishment, the Forum has continued to <br />coordinate and collaborate on current and future water supply and resource items as <br />well as projects of mutual interest and benefit. <br />Annually the Forum approves a workplan and budget engaging in projects and actions <br />that collectively further the region’s mutual interest on present and future drinking <br />water issues such as water supply planning, regional resiliency and coordination, water <br />quality, water conservation, education and outreach. <br /> <br />Recommendation (exact action requested of Council): <br />Authorize the Mayor to sign the 2026-2035 Water Supply Forum Interlocal Agreement. <br />
