that was executed with the County in 2005, the City was to assume the payments on the PWTFL. The
City made a payment directly to the PWTFL in 2006. However, in 2007, 2008, and 2009, the County did
not forward that invoice to the City for payment and we did not ask for it as a practical matter, not
realizing the County made those payments for those three years. The County has submitted a letter to the
City indicating that they would like to see those funds reimbursed in the amount of $171,000. He said this
is an obligation of the City. However, there are some other aspects of the annexation agreement,
specifically the City's need to get some deeds transferred on some of the properties that were incurred
during the annexation. He said he would like to enter into discussions with the County so they could
resolve this issue. He added if there are no objections he will respond to the letter submitted by the
County.
