It is my <br />understanding that the contract cities have been briefed on our progress by <br />the city negotiating team and the Mayor terms have been shared. <br />In summary, the Participation Agreement involves a $35 million dollar project <br />on the 10 acre parcel at MCAS Tustin. The County is providing the land and <br />the initial $5 million toward the project, with the cities providing a $30 million <br />contribution. The Participation Agreement includes a schedule of the <br />distribution of city costs (assuming a $35 million project in total and <br />participation by all 18 contract cities.) The contract allows for payment of the <br />city payments over a 10 -year period. <br />i <br />I Several cities are exploring alternate service models. Please be advised that <br />there is scalability in the proposed Design /Build contract. We intend to work <br />with the Design team and our contract cities as to address sizing (and related <br />cost reductions) to reflect the service needs for the actual number of cities that <br />opt into contracts. <br />The Agreement for Provision of Animal Care Services involves a 10 -year term, <br />effective from the date of execution. Neither party may terminate without <br />OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR cause.
