Looks good. City is at fault for dragging their heels here. Didn’t send agreement for a month and a half!

The article does not mention that the district is the one who proposed terminating the agreement in a letter they sent to the city. The city said that they would make one final offer and otherwise they would accept the district's proposal to end the agreement.

The district is really destroying this relationship and their actions are not really benefiting the kids, the residents, the taxpayers, etc. I hope that Dr. Rudolph doesn't screw it up and the district takes the city's offer.

Apparently MVWSD have been negotiating this entire time and gathered feedback from the MVWSD board during their closed session scheduled last week. The big question is why MVWSD ever asked to terminate this thing in the first place. Seems like they were just picking nits about things like signage,.

The full agreement from the City is available if you 'scroll down" in the document window. The City made this document public (their Public Records Act portal) but the MVWSD did not make it available in their Agenda item materials (cover letter and attachment).
