The intent of the IGA is multi -faceted and aims to: • Document how the City will provide treatment capacity for the District. • Document the County's obligation to purchase treatment capacity for the community of Terrebonne. • Document the District's obligations to pay for the requested treatment capacity and monthly sewer rates. • Require the District to comply with all laws, rules, regulations, and ordinances regarding discharge to the Redmond Wetland Complex. Background: The City of Redmond Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF) is currently located within the Dry Canyon, about 1.5 miles northwest of the Redmond City Center. The facility is surrounded by residential homes situated along the canyon walls, and more rural residential and farmland generally to the north. Additionally, the City owns a 609-acre Irrigation Complex, located at 5801 Northwest Way, which produces orchard grass (hay) using effluent from the WPCF for irrigation and biosolids from the WPCF as fertilizer. The WPCF also leases 35 acres of land from BLM where disinfected effluent is infiltrated into the ground. In 2020, the City amended its Wastewater Facility Plan (WWFP) to assess options for expansion of treatment facilities to accommodate Redmond's current and projected 20-year service needs. The WWFP Amendment recommended relocation of the existing WPCF from the Dry Canyon to the Irrigation Complex and design / construction of a lagoon treatment system along with a constructed wetland treatment and disposal system. The technology chosen for the treatment facility, and the amount of acreage associated with the facility will provide for future capacity expansions in a relatively simple and economical manner. In June of 2023, the City of Redmond received land use approval from Deschutes County to construct the Redmond Water Pollution Control Facility, also known as the Redmond Wetlands Complex (RWC). The City is near completion of the final WPCF design and plans on starting construction during the spring of 2024. The Terrebonne community relies on onsite septic systems for wastewater treatment and many systems are nearing the end of their useful lives. Further, there are very limited replacement options. The County conducted a sewer feasibility study for the unincorporated community of Terrebonne that compared various approaches to serving Terrebonne with needed wastewater treatment. That study identified a preferred option of a Septic Tank Effluent Pumping (STEP) system and collection system to be managed by a sanitary district which would connect to the RWC to treat and dispose of effluent. Page 2 of 13 On November 15, 2021, the County and the City entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to coordinate efforts to evaluate and make recommendations regarding the viability of discharging septic tank effluent generated in Terrebonne directly to the City's expanded treatment facilities. The parties determined that discharging Terrebonne's effluent to the City wastewater treatment facility was viable and pursued the development of a binding agreement in the form of an IGA. The District was formed by voter approval of Measure 9-156 in the March 14, 2023, Special Election and thereafter by order of the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners on April 12, 2023, as per applicable provisions within Oregon Revised Statues 198 and 450. District representatives, City, and County staff cooperatively developed the IGA which outlines the obligations of the three parties. Discussion: The IGA is the result of a significant amount of collaboration between representatives from the City, County and District since the MOU between the County and City was first entered. The group has worked to assure necessary treatment capacity for the Terrebonne community based on expected service connections and assures cost recovery for the City to provide such treatment. The District's requested treatment capacity represents 3.5% of the total treatment capacity of the RWC. Based on an estimated project cost of $63 million, the cost to provide that amount of treatment capacity is $2.2 million. The County's million -dollar contribution is approximately 45% of that total cost. The IGA specifies that the District must repay the remaining amount owed in order to use that additional capacity. The District will pay a monthly sewer treatment charge based on the metered gallons of flow per month. The fee itself will be calculated on the percentage of the City's Wastewater Division budget that is dedicated to wastewater treatment (which does not include collection costs). This will be reviewed and adjusted annually as warranted by the adopted budget. The City will charge a 5% administrative fee to cover administrative and other maintenance costs associated with billing, maintenance of meter vaults, calibrating meters (3rd party service provider), and sampling services. Through the coordination process associated with drafting the IGA, all representatives understood and worked to address the financial realities associated with the creation of a new sanitary district and construction of a new wastewater treatment facility. The IGA and resulting wastewater treatment support economic development opportunities and environmental health for residents in Deschutes County. Fiscal Impact: The IGA is structured to provide on -going cost recovery to the City for the costs incurred in construction of capacity to serve the District as well as the cost to treat effluent. The true and actual costs of construction will be relied on to finalize the financial obligations of the District for the full capacity requested. The remaining balance owed for the District's requested capacity will accrue interest based on the City's Department of Environmental Quality Clean Water State Revolving Fund loan agreement. Alternative Courses of Action: N/A Recommendation / Suggested Motion: N/A Page 3 of 13 INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT This Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) is made and entered into by and between Deschutes County, a political subdivision of the State of Oregon, by and through its elected officials, hereinafter referred to as "County"; the Terrebonne Sanitary District, a special district of the State of Oregon, by and through its elected officials, hereinafter referred to as "District"; and City of Redmond, Oregon, an Oregon municipal corporation, by and through its elected officials, hereinafter referred to as "City," all herein referred to individually or collectively as the "Party" or "Parties". RECITALS 1. By the authority granted in ORS 190.110, a unit of local government may enter into a written agreement with any other unit or units of local government for the performance of any or all functions and activities that are party to the agreement, its officers or agencies have the authority to perform. 2. Pursuant to said authority, County and City find it beneficial to both agencies and therefore wish to design, construct, operate, and maintain certain improvements within City's Wetlands Complex Expansion Project ["Project"] to serve the District. 3. The District's wastewater collection system will consist of a septic tank effluent pump [STEP] system with a single point of connection to City's Project. See Exhibit A. 4. The District was officially formed by voter approval of Measure 9-156 in the 3/14/2023 special election and thereafter by order of the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners on 4/12/2023, as per applicable provisions within ORS 198 and 450. 5. County and City held a joint work session on November 9, 2021, and subsequently executed a non -binding Memorandum of Understanding related to this matter on November 15, 2021 [DC-2021-922]. 6. City is currently engaged in design to relocate and expand its sanitary sewer treatment facilities as part of the Project, which is located within the County at 5801 Northwest Way. See Exhibit A. 7. The District has requested a total treatment capacity of 164,000 gallons per day (gpd). The 164,000 gpd request is equivalent to 3.5% of the treatment capacity of the Project (4.6 MGD). The Project construction and design costs, minus pipeline costs, are estimated to be $63,000,000 in total. The cost of treatment capacity for 164,000 gpd (3.5% of treatment capacity) is $2,212,420. The total project cost and District portion due to City will be updated based on final contractor bids and DEQ loan terms. a. District intends to serve development within the unincorporated community boundary of Terrebonne and estimates buildout sanitary flow of 164,000 gpd. b. Should the District require additional treatment capacity beyond the estimated buildout sanitary flow of 164,000 gpd, this agreement may be revisited to develop a methodology for the District to purchase additional treatment capacity. 8. County has pledged $1,000,000 to purchase capacity at the Project for the community of Terrebonne (45.2% of $2,212,420). This payment will cover the cost to treat 74,128 gpd Page 4 of 13 of wastewater from District. District will purchase the remaining requested treatment capacity of 89,872 gpd as outlined in Exhibit B of this agreement. NOW THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows: Parties will continue to coordinate efforts regarding design, construction, operation, maintenance, and funding to accommodate discharge of septic tank effluent generated in District directly to the Project to include the following: County Obligations 1.

This amount of flow represents 3.5% of the total treatment capacity of the RWC. The cost to design and construct the RWC (not including the collection system improvements) is estimated to be $63,000,000. Therefore, the cost to construct the requested treatment capacity of 0.164 MGD for the District is $2,212,420. The County's contribution of $1 million covers the cost of 45.2% of the requested treatment capacity from the District. As such, once the $1 million is paid to the City, the County has purchased 74,128 gallons per day of treatment capacity for the District. This equates to 2.224 million gallons per month. The City will charge the District to treat its effluent based on the monthly sewer rate as detailed in Exhibit C of this agreement. The District is required to pay the City for the additional treatment capacity within the next 20 years which is currently valued at $1,212,420 (2023 Dollars). Over 20 years, with debt service payments, this equates to $1,517,520 based on the City's estimated debt service obligations through the DEQ. There are a variety of funding mechanism available to the District, including, but not limited to, the following: • include a surcharge in the overall rate structure • Assess a standalone surcharge on monthly bills • Assess system development charges at time of connection to the collection system • Grants and loans The District commits to paying for the additional capacity as noted above but reserves the right to utilize various funding mechanisms / strategies as determined by the District to be in its best interest. RWC project construction costs and the District's 3.5% portion due to City will be updated to match final bids and DEQ loan agreements.

Page 11 of 13 EXHIBIT C Monthly Sewer Rates based on Metered Flows Terrebonne installs a flow meter on the forcemain discharge point at City RWC headworks. Both parties review meter data on a monthly basis to record effluent volume discharged. Redmond charges the District an agreed -upon monthly rate based on the effluent volume discharged to the RWC headworks, in terms of gallons. This flow rate charge is based on the current City residential monthly rate multiplied by the percentage of the operating budget allocated to the wastewater treatment system operations & maintenance (currently 75%) and applied to the metered flow from the District. Starting July 1, 2023, the City's monthly sewer rate is $34.56. This rate is adjusted to a monthly rate of $25.92 for the District for Fiscal Year 2024. The rate will be adjusted annually based on the City's adopted budget based on the percentage of the operating budget allocated to wastewater treatment system operations and maintenance. The District and City shall update the residential monthly rate and percentage of the operating budget allocated to wastewater treatment annually based on the City's adopted budget and rate schedule. Terrebonne Sanitary District Monthly Sewer Rate: Current City monthly rate for 5/8"meter * 0.75 = $25.92 Average wastewater flVv✓ per CDii = 62VV ga/ivn_)/MV/IU/ Fee per 1000 gallons of flow = ($25.92/6200 gallons per month) * 1000 = $4.18 District will be charged a rate of $4.1811000 gallons of flow metered at the discharge point on a monthly basis. Monthly Administrative Fee: An administrative fee of 5% will be applied to monthly billings to cover administrative and other maintenance costs associated with billing, maintenance of meter vaults, calibrating meters (31d party service provider), and sampling services.
