CONSIDERATION OF A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (“AGREEMENT”) BETWEEN THE VILLAGE AND GREATER DUDU, LLC (“COMPANY”) REGARDING THE DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATIONOF A DATA CENTER. Mr. Larry Guggino presented item two. In preparation for the proposed development of the data center, the Company and the Village will enter into numerous agreements. Those agreements consist of a Project Participation Agreement, a Local Economic Development Agreement, Industrial Revenue Bond documents, and waiver of certain fees, Water/Wastewater Agreement and the rates charged for the provision of services. It also provides for an allocation of water rights to them pursuant to our ordinance 16.40 – we will provide 3 acre feet of consumptive use of water for one acre of developed property. The size of this property is approximately 303 acres, but based upon our understanding of the size of these buildings, it has been determined that they will develop 163 acres of this property. They will have to obtain building permits which will have to be approved by Village staff. This proposed Development Agreement details the obligations of both the Village and the Company, specifying the standards and conditions that will govern the development of the data center property. It provides for the provision of services by the Village, the applicable ordinances that apply to the development of the property by the Company, a time period for the Village to act upon requests for approval made by the Company, the manner in which the Village’s water and sewer systems will be improved as the project develops and who is responsible for the costs of those improvements. Councilman Saiz had a question for Mr. Kevin Eades, Molzen-Corbin, his question was he knows that the Village is guaranteeing a specific amount of water through each phase, but in phase I we not needing to increase. With the guarantee that the Village is making, with the assumption that we have enough capacity and say the well goes down for some reason, would we have enough to meet that guarantee. Mr. Eades replied, worst case scenario, if a well was down keeping in mind that we have 6.5 million gallons in storage, yes, the Village could meet that guarantee. Councilman Romero asked if phase II gets awarded is there advance notice that has to be given. Mr. Guggino replied they would give us 30 days advance notice prior to construction. Mayor Griego asked if there were any other questions. Mr. Victor Williams approached the podium, he wanted to ask about the water and the wastewater treatment plant – there’s enough for a population of 20,000 people that can be handled until the year 2020, it doesn’t agree with the numbers that were just presented. Mayor thanked Mr. Williams for his input. Mayor Griego asked for a recommendation from Council. APPROVAL: Motion to approve Development Agreement MOVED: Councilman Saiz SECONDED: Councilman Ortiz CARRIED: Motion passed on a vote of 4 (Councilman Romero – yes; Councilman Ortiz – yes; Councilwoman Sanchez-Montoya – yes; Councilman Saiz – yes) FOR AND 0 AGAINST. 3. CONSIDERATION OF A WATER/WSTEWATER AGREEMENT (“AGREEMENT”) FOR THE PROVISION OF WATER/WASTEWATER SERVICES TO GREATER KUDU, LLC (“COMPANY”) FOR THE OPERATION OF A DATA CENTER. Mr. Larry Guggino presented item three. There are a couple of matters of great importance; the first is the guarantees of providing certain amounts of water per day – phase I will consist of two buildings. So for phase I, we are guaranteeing them one million five hundred thousand gallons of water per day; for phase II, three million gallons per day; and for phase III, four million five hundred thousand gallons per day. The needs for this amount of water is only for those critical times of the day when it’s extremely hot or humid (beginning of June to the middle of September). The rest of the time the water usage is considerably less (Fall, Winter and Spring time). Based on what Lee Wilson and Associates has informed us on the water rights, that does not begin to impair the our permit given our current rate of production, our current rate of growth, and the fact that it is sustainable. It’s the same thing with the sewer treatment plant, there is sufficient capacity to support phase one, but when a phase II start, this agreement provides that they pay and help us build an industrial wastewater treatment plant. This agreement also provides that common parts would be accessible if something breaks (pipe, links, etc.). They will not pay impact fees to the Village. Mayor Griego asked Council if they had any questions. Councilman Ortiz inquired about the four and half million gallons. Mr. Guggino replied; that this would be the worst case scenario have six buildings and the hottest day. Mayor Griego asked for a motion from council. APPROVAL: Motion to approve Water/Wastewater Agreement MOVED: Councilman Romero SECONDED: Councilman Saiz CARRIED: Motion passed on a vote of 4 (Councilman Romero – yes; Councilman Ortiz – yes; Councilwoman Sanchez-Montoya – yes; Councilman Saiz – yes) FOR AND 0 AGAINST. 4. RESOLUTION 16-22 – NEW MEXICO FINANCE AUTHORITY PPRF LOAN (VRECC BUILDING PROJECT). Ms. Monica Clarke presented item four. The Village of Los Lunas as the fiscal agent for VRECC would like to apply for NMFA PPRF loan funds on behalf of VRECC to construct a new Dispatch Center and new E911 equipment. The cost of construction is $3.2 million (that is on the high end). We’re looking about $190,000.00/year in debt service. Legal opinion is that the Council approve contingent upon the JPA being approved by all agencies and the lease agreement being approved by all agencies. Councilman Saiz commented that the Village is taking on the burden of the construction on us even though it’s a County wide service. Ms. Clarke replied, yes. Ms. Shirley Walker wanted to thank the Council for taking on this burden. This is a County wide shared service. Mayor Griego asked for a motion from council. APPROVAL: Motion to approve resolution 16-22 contingent upon the execution of the JPA being approved.

This grant is to support the construction cost at the old mobile home site. The grant is for $500,000.00 to go towards the construction that is currently going on right now at the site. The grant is one to one match, but the Village of Los Lunas is putting more than the match as well as SODA. A small consultant is managing the grant reporting – staff is very busy at this time.
