NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the City and the District agree as follows: A. TERMS AND CONDITIONS 1. Proiect Improvement.

The Dam 11 Modification involves the adjustment of the low WCID-CORR ILA 12-1-15 cl..(00347380aA08F8)A., flow ports on the Dam 11 principal spillway to accommodate the additional flood storage capacity needed by the City. 2. District Obligations. a. The District shall contract with a consultant(s) to perform the design, permitting, and construction phase services for the Dam 11 Modification. After project completion, the District will continue to own, operate and maintain the Dam 11. The District shall be responsible for all costs over and above the $10,000 contribution from the Altman/Thermasol project and the $75,000 City contribution. b. After completion of the Dam 11 Modification and receipt of City reimbursement described below, the District shall reserve for the City a net additional flood storage of approximately 75 acre-feet created by the Dam 11 Modification. The City may use the additional storage for various projects as determined by the City to compensate for floodplain/easement reclamation and detention needs in or adjacent to the Dam 11 inundation easement. After written notification to the District, the City may assign some or all of the flood storage capacity to any third party. 3. City Obligations. a.
