6.  The HAP and the City of Portland have authority under ORS Chapter 190 to enter into an intergovernmental agreement.

7.  The established not to exceed cost is $250,000. Funds are available in the HAP budget. Payment will be made to Sewer System Operating Fund, FY 2002-03 Budget, Bureau of Environmental Services, Center Code 145-14-130, Project Number 7477, Account No. 529000.

NOW, THEREFORE, the council directs:

 a.  The Director of the Bureau of Environmental Services and Auditor are authorized to execute an intergovernmental agreement substantially in conformance with Exhibit A for the purpose described in Section 1, in the not to exceed amount of $250,000.

 b.  The Mayor and Auditor are hereby authorized to draw and deliver warrants chargeable to the Sewer System Operating Fund Budget when demand is presented and approved by the proper authority.
