Authorize city manager to sign letter of intent for sludge pond lease extension

Sludge Pond LeaseContracts

In Plain English

The West County Agency that handles sewage sludge processing dissolves at year-end, leaving Richmond's wastewater plant without access to critical drying ponds. The city currently pays $294,000 per year to lease these ponds from West County Wastewater. If approved, the city manager negotiates a new lease to continue sludge processing through 2025 until a permanent facility opens.
