Title
FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH AND THE DELRAY BEACH COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY FOR FUNDING CONSTRUCTION/PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2018/19
Body
Recommended Action:
Recommendation
Approve the First Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement between the City of Delray Beach (City) and the Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) to fund Fiscal Year 2018-19 Capital Projects as described in Exhibit A of the attached agreement, subject to approval of the City and CRA budgets for Fiscal Year 2018/19. This amendment adds funding for the construction of the mast arm at the intersection of S. Swinton Avenue and S. 1st Street and for completion of a sidewalk project in the SW Neighborhood.
Body
Background:
Implementation of projects, particularly, the public infrastructure projects in the Community Redevelopment District, requires a collaborative effort between the City and the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA). Through the Interlocal Agreement (ILA) the CRA provides funding all or a portion of projects (i.e., engineering, project management, and construction); while the City provides overall management of the Capital Improvements processes. Projects recommended for funding each fiscal year are included in the City's approved budget through the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
The City and CRA enter into an ILA each year to formalize the CRA’s commitment to fund the specific projects. This year's projects are identified in Exhibit 'A' of the ILA. The ILA was approved by the CRA at their September 19, 2018 meeting and forwarded to the City for approval. At the CRA Board Workshop meeting, the Board reviewed the proposed FY 2018-19 CRA Budget, which included a request from the City for the CRA to fund 14 Capital Improvement Projects within the City totaling approximately $16 million. These projects range from the design of Wayfinding Signage for the downtown core to road and alleyway construction projects, and improvements to Old School Square and City parks and recreational opportunities.

2. Interlocal Agreement including Exhibit A listing projects and funding amounts
City Attorney Review:
Approved as to form and legal sufficiency.
Funding Source/Financial Impact:
Funding is available from the individual Capital Improvement Project accounts that are funded by Community Redevelopment Agency. Failure to enter into this ILA will result in a loss of available funding for the projects listed in Exhibit A of the attached Agreement.
Timing of Request:
Timely project implementation requires that the ILA be approved.
