Recommendation
Motion to approve an Interlocal Agreement between Palm Beach County and the City of Delray Beach Providing for Certain Traffic Control Authority within the City of Delray Beach by Palm Beach County.
Body
Background:
In October 2024, Palm Beach County (County) initiated requests with multiple municipalities, to include the City of Delray Beach (City), to replace outdated agreements and amendments. The purpose of the ILA is to repeal and replace the former Traffic Control Agreement, as amended; providing the County with authority over all County maintained thoroughfares within the City’s municipal boundaries; and providing the County with certain maintenance and operations responsibilities over certain traffic signals on City maintained roads. The request to initiate a new agreement also provided the City the opportunity to memorialize the City’s desire and responsibility for installing decorative art wrap on traffic control signal boxes.
The agreement shall take effect upon execution by both parties and may be cancelled by either party upon formal written notice given at one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the next succeeding October 1st. October 1st shall be the effective date of such cancellation.
Attachments:
1. ILA
2. Legal Review Checklist
3. Amendment No. 1 to ILA (1992)
4. ILA (1987)
City Attorney Review:

Funding Source/Financial Impact:
