~~ <br />infrastructure development - so that partners could opt in or out on the major <br />investments that would come later in the process. <br />• Another suggested positive outcome was a joint letter of request to the <br />Environmental Management Commission (with the collaborative planning <br />process in advance) on the allocation increases and regional intake. This <br />would be supported by the Regional Water Supply Plan - with a joint <br />understanding of water supply and demand issues and a common <br />understanding as to why these steps are needed. <br />At the conclusion of the meeting, OWASA offered to coordinate a presentation at the <br />Assembly of Governments meeting on this subject (with Durham and FountainWorks <br />incited to attend). The remaining jurisdictions would look to convene a regional water <br />summit to discuss the matter further after the AOG meeting. <br />It was also noted that FountainWorks contract with the City of Durham is slated to <br />expire, and that in the spirit of regional collaboration, a Memorandum of Understanding <br />will be proposed for continuing their role as facilitator (with some type ofcost-sharing <br />among the jurisdictions to be determined). <br />Please let me know if I can provide any additional information. <br />
