This master agreement enables staff to more quickly and efficiently engage in MWDOC activities by clearly establishing a basic foundation for this contractual business relationship for the term of the master agreement. It will supersede any existing agreements between the City and MWDOC for the indicated activities. To standardize and simplify implementation of these activities, the agreement requires approval of additional programs and services at the City's sole discretion.
