DAVIS NEVA 4414DER IGREEMNY. 4STUCKI 'luOBkiwtailitElaNts KI:11:4 N, E3tutwriz C5ttl;tAi W. Srue ra Bats Swr ri The Moab City Council voted during their regular meeting on March 14 to provide Grand County with 90-days notice that the City will withdraw from the Economic Development Interlocal Agreement. This letter provides the appropriate notice. The City will withdraw from the agreement effective June 14, 2006. As you may know, the economic development functions in the Moab Area Economic Development Office are in transition and are undergoing some changes that have reduced the activities of the office. While the City remains very much interested in working with Grand County with respect to Economic Development, we believe it is appropriate to curtail City funding until such time as functions are fully restored and the two entities cooperatively determine the future course of economic development activities in the County. The City is very appreciative of the services that have been provided to date and hopes that we can work together on economic issues in the future. Sincerely, Donna Metzler City Manager Cc: Mayor and City Council ADM-LTR-06-03-003
