WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, CWEP and local government stormwater programs have the same basic mission of providing stormwater outreach and education; and WHEREAS, CWEP is governed by a Steering Committee that is composed of representatives from each partner jurisdiction or agency where these organizations weigh in on outreach priorities at quarterly meetings and provide ongoing financial support for the program through member dues based on their population. WHEREAS, CWEP is a program administered by CPRC where CPRC is responsible for organizing quarterly Steering Committee meetings annually; tracking and managing of staff and subcontractor(s), expenses, and budgets; maintaining any project fund balance in a restricted account to be used solely at the request of the CWEP Steering Committee for CWEP purposes; providing periodic financial updates to the partnership; and providing direct education and mass media to its wide variety of partner communities. NOW, THEREFORE, CPRC, via CWEP, will prepare and make available to the Local Government the following direct education and mass media items: 1.

Accordingly, the Local Government acknowledges that it is ultimately responsible for meeting all federal and state laws, rules and regulations related thereto. The Local Government and CWEP share responsibility for determining how specific objectives can be cooperatively achieved, with the understanding that CWEP supplements local efforts to comply with regulatory requirements. The Local Government is highly encouraged to send one or more representatives to CWEP’s quarterly Steering Committee meetings to collaborate on strategies. CWEP will make every reasonable attempt, as permitted by available staffing and supplies, to independently and proactively address the objectives in the Local Government’s community and will update the CWEP Local Government representative each quarter to offer opportunities for discussion and collaboration.

The fee schedule and individual Local Governments' cost shares may change annually if population estimates generated by the NC State Demographer’s Office show population changes and/or the CWEP Steering Committee authorizes a change in cost shares. “The Local Government’s annual CWEP membership dues for fiscal years 2026, 2027 and 2028 shall not exceed $5,000 per year. The maximum amount payable under this agreement shall be $15,000. The period of performance and the term of this MOU will begin on July 1, 2025, and will conclude on June 30, 2026.

The Local Government reserves the unilateral right to terminate this MOU for cause or convenience (in the case of cause, immediately, and in the case of convenience, upon 90 calendar days’ written notice), whereupon CWEP and CPRC will only be entitled to prorated compensation for services properly rendered up to the date of termination. CWEP will provide an annual report by August 31 on the prior fiscal year's local and regional outreach and education, to include description and numbers for both mass media and direct education efforts.
