Letter Agreement for Participation in Municipal Water District of Orange County's Weather Based Irrigation Timer Rebate Program for Single-Family Residential and Commercial Properties When executed on behalf of each party, this letter will constitute an agreement between the Municipal Water District of Orange County ("MWDOC"), and City of Santa Ana ("Participating Agency"), for participation and co-funding of a Smart Timer Rebate Program for Single Family Residential and Commercial Properties ("Program") to be offered in Participating Agency's service area. MWDOC has developed and arranged funding through Metropolitan Water District of Southern California ("Metropolitan") and other sources for a Regional Program to provide rebates to owners of single family residences and commercial properties to encourage them to retrofit existing operable irrigation timers with devices to control the amount of water used based upon weather conditions ("Smart Timers"). The Regional Program is scheduled to provide rebates for up to Five Thousand (5,000) Smart Timers installed by qualified participants in the Program area. Participating Agency is eligible to participate in the Regional Program and agrees to provide funding at the amount specified, as stated in Table 1, below, per Residential Smart Timer valve installed within its service area, and at the amount specified, as stated in Table l, below, per irrigated acre for commercial sites which a rebate is issued pursuant to the Program, up to 'Not to Exceed' maximum amounts as set forth in this Agreement. Participating Agency also agrees to provide funding for verification of Smart Timer installations by an outside consultant engaged by MWDOC as part of the Regional Program. The Regional Program's objectives are to achieve savings in water consumption, reduce water runoff to storm drains and natural water bodies, and promote the goals of the Best Management Practices. Residential Properties: MWDOC will contract for services of a qualified rebate contractor ("Rebate Contractor") to provide information about the Program and participation criteria to eligible residential participants, administer the residential rebates, and report the results of the Program. A residential participant requesting a rebate application will initiate the rebate process. The Rebate Contractor will keep a log of all residential rebate applications issued to prospective participants. Upon receiving a residential application, the prospective participant must complete the following process in order to receive a rebate:
