Mr. Brian A. Perkovich, Executive Director
Title
Authorization for payment to the U.S. Water Alliance for the 2021 annual membership dues in the amount of $35,000.00, Account 101-15000-612280
Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to make payment, by direct voucher, to the U.S. Water Alliance for the 2021 annual membership dues in the amount of $35,000.00. The term of the District’s membership is January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021.
The U.S. Water Alliance was established in 2008 to support “One Water” management, a concept that emphasizes the importance and value of each aspect of the water cycle and promotes more integrated, sustainable management of water and watersheds. The District has been a continuing member in support of the U.S. Water Alliance’s work in exploring the complex issue of water sustainability.
Inasmuch as the U.S. Water Alliance membership is not available through any other source, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
It is hereby recommended that the Board of Commissioners authorize payment, by direct voucher, to the U.S. Water Alliance, in the amount of $35,000.00. Funds will be available in Account 101-15000-612280.
Requested, Shellie A. Riedle, Acting Administrative Services Officer, JRM:PS
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Procurement
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners July 15, 2021
