The Clarke County Reservoir Commission |

The
local leadership that is planning the water supply project is known as
the Clarke County Reservoir Commission, or CCRC. The Clarke County
Reservoir Commission was formed under the provisions of Chapter 28E,
Code of Iowa 2001. The Intergovernmental Agreement creating the Clarke
County Reservoir was filed with the Iowa Secretary of State on March
07, 2003. The original intergovernmental agreement was made and entered
into by, between and among: |

•Osceola Waterworks Board of Trustees
•City of Murray, Iowa

In
2008, the “First Amendment to Intergovernmental Agreement Creating the
Clarke County Reservoir Commission” was filed with the Secretary of
State on October 21. The purpose of the first amendment was to address
Article IV Acquisition of Property.
In
2014, the Clarke County Reservoir Commission was restated. An amended
and restarted intergovernmental agreement was filed with the Secretary
of State on August 18, 2014. This intergovernmental agreement amends,
supersedes, and replaces the agreement filed in March 2003 and the
“First Amendment to the Intergovernmental Agreement Creating the Clarke
County Reservoir Commission” filed in October 2008.
The 2014 intergovernmental agreement was entered into by, between and among:

The
Commission consists of one representative from each of the member
organizations. The Board of Directors also includes a Member at Large.
Other
leaders are Clarke County citizens who have supported the water supply
project in a number of ways, including as volunteers and financers. In
2007 and 2008 the people of Osceola and Woodburn approved a Local
Options Sales and Service Tax (LOSST) to help pay for a new water
supply source. The people of Murray voted and passed a LOSST initiative
on November 03, 2009. On May 7th, 2013, the citizens of Osceola,
Murray, and Woodburn were asked to vote again on dedicating the LOSST
to the water supply project. Over 80% of those who voted in the
referendum voted to maintain the local option sales and services
tax.
