Title
FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM SURTAX INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH BROWARD COUNTY, THE METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION (MPO), AND PARTICIPATING MUNICIPALITIES; PROVIDING FOR SCOPE AND PRIORITIZATION OF MUNICIPAL PROJECTS.
BACKGROUND: The City Commission approved the Transportation System Surtax Interlocal Agreement on September 26, 2018. This First Amendment would provide for the following substantial changes to the Agreement:
• Clarifies definition of eligible projects as requested by a city’s attorney;
• Amends the date municipal project prioritization must be submitted by surtax-funded MPO staff to County staff for inclusion in FY2020 budget (from February to March 2020);
• Recognizes the Parties’ intent to create a Five-Year Plan (no later than July 2020) that will include all projects funded in part or wholly using surtax proceeds for approval by the Oversight Board;
• Removes responsibility for prioritizing rehabilitation and maintenance projects from the surtax-funded MPO staff (allowing those projects to be funded earlier in the 30-year program);
• Creates other necessary alignment with MPO/County ILA contract terms (establishing funding to develop municipal prioritization process)
Margate projects will be reviewed and amended as needed with Commission support/approval.
RECOMMENDATION: For approval.
FISCAL IMPACT: To be determined based upon projects funded.
