Exhibit A of the City of Lubbock's grant funding agreement states, "the scope of our outreach rainwater harvesting development project is proposed for two years starting October 1, 2019 to September 30, 2021." As noted in the October 2021 final report and Ms. Mullin's October 12, 2021 presentation to the HPWD Board of Directors, the City of Lubbock has three rainwater harvesting barrels and three commercial cisterns remaining for distribution to eligible applicants. Implementation of this program was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

As a result, both parties do hereby mutually agree to extend the program completion date to April 30, 2022 as requested by the City of Lubbock.
