ACTION REQUESTED:
Title
Communication from the City Manager and Director of Public Works with a Request to APPROVE an INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT between the City of Peoria and the GREATER PEORIA SANITARY DISTRICT to Clean and Televise the City's Combined Sewer Overflow Outfall Lines, for an Amount not to Exceed $272,202.50.
