Title
THIRD 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 Third Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement (ILA) 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 adjusts the ILA to remove projects that are being managed by CRA staff and to reflect actual funding requirements for projects that are moving forward under City management.
Body
Background:
Implementation of projects, particularly, the public infrastructure projects in the Community Redevelopment District, requires a collaborative effort between the City and the CRA. Through the 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 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 as amended are identified in Exhibit 'A' of this third amendment to 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. The first amendment to the ILA for Construction was adopted by the City Commission on May 7, 2019 and added funding for the S. Swinton Avenue & SW/SE 1st Street Mast Arm project and CRA Sidewalk Project. The second amendment to the ILA for Construction was adopted by the City Commission on July 2, 2019 and reduced the number of projects from 14 to 10. The third amendment to the ILA for the CRA makes final adjustments to the amounts needed for each project as awarded. The total for the 12 projects listed is $12,494,941.
