Pursuant to City Council direction, staff, legal counsel, Mayor Zamora, <br />and Council Member Gonzales, and on several occasions with their counterparts the City of Grand <br />Terrace, to discuss and resolve the issues based on their discussions, the parties prepared the following <br />three agreements for City Council's consideration (approved on March 18, 2014): Settlement Agreement <br />and Release; Sewer Services Agreement and Wastewater Enterprise Release Agreement. Pursuant with <br />these three agreements Colton/Grand Terrace resolve the claims between them related to the wastewater <br />services. Colton will take over the operation and maintenance of the combined City of Colton and <br />Grand Terrace wastewater systems, including the collection pre-treatment maintenance, treatment, <br />billing, and capital improvements.
