INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH AND THE DELRAY BEACH COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY FOR FUNDING CONSTRUCTION PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025-2026
Body
Recommended Action:
Recommendation
Approve the Interlocal Agreement (“ILA”) between the City of Delray Beach (“City”) and Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (“CRA”) for funding the Capital Improvement Projects within the CRA District for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 (“FY”), in substantially attached form.
Body
Background:
The implementation of many projects contained in the Community Redevelopment Plan, particularly the public infrastructure projects resulting from the adopted Neighborhood and Redevelopment Plans, requires a joint City/CRA effort. The typical arrangement involves the CRA funding all or a portion of the project, and the City’s staff overseeing the bidding and construction processes.
Each year, the City and CRA enter into an interlocal agreement to formalize the CRA’s commitment to fund specific projects. CRA funds are transferred at the time that the contract is awarded, or service authorization is approved for each project. FY 2025-2026 projects include the following:
