Title
APPROVAL OF AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH AND DELRAY BEACH COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY FOR FUNDING CONSTRUCTION/PROFESSIONAL SERVICES - FY 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 Construction/Professional Services related to Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects within the CRA District for Fiscal Year 2025-2026.
Body
Background:
Implementation of projects, particularly public infrastructure projects in the CRA District, requires a collaborative effort between the City and the CRA. Through this ILA, the CRA provides funding for all or a portion of projects (i.e., engineering, project management, and construction) while the City provides overall management of the projects’ construction and implementation. Projects recommended for funding each fiscal year are included in the City's approved budget through the CIP budget review and approval process.
The City and CRA enter into an ILA each year to formalize the CRA’s commitment to fund specific projects. This year's projects are identified in “Exhibit A” of this ILA, which was adopted by the CRA Board on October 28, 2025. The following table reflects the projects that have been approved for funding by the CRA Board:
