Heading: Flood Control Berm

Text: The Agreement obligates the Weinsteins to build a flood control berm along the south bank of Coal Creek. Under Paragraph 6.3, the obligation to construct the berm is “contingent upon receipt of all third party permits and approvals for the Berm and Salmon Channel.” The Weinsteins received all necessary permits for the berm and the salmon channel, but they have not yet built the berm. They are in breach of this provision of the Agreement. Their argument that they are entitled to defer construction of the berm until they receive permits for a salmon habitat enhancement project fails because the clear language of Paragraph 6.3 conditions -6- their obligation only upon receipt of permits for the berm and the salmon channel, not upon receipt of permits for a salmon habitat enhancement project. We affirm the district court’s grant of summary judgment on the City’s counterclaim against the Weinsteins. Each party shall bear its own costs on appeal. AFFIRMED in part; REVERSED in part and REMANDED.
