April 6, 2005 Re: Road Reduction Interlocal Agreement Dear Manager and Municipal Elected Officials: Attached with this email please find the above -referenced Interlocal Agreement with an exhibit listing all non -county and non -state roads on the County's thoroughfare plan that are located within municipalities. This Agreement provides for one hundred twenty (120) days notice if the County or any municipality with jurisdiction over the listed roads desires to reduce the capacity on the roadway or remove the road from the County's thoroughfare plan. Only those entities who adopt the Interlocal Agreement will be provided notice. Then, the proposal will be submitted to the Metropolitan Planning Organization ("MPO") for analysis with input from interested parties. Through this voluntary process, it is anticipated that impacts on those in the nearby vicinity could be mitigated. As you may recall, this item arose approximately one (1) year ago with Commissioner Warren Newell proposing to put this issue before the voters for yet another charter amendment to allow the County full control over all roads on the County's thoroughfare plan regardless of whether or not they were located in municipalities. To be effective, this Agreement must be signed by municipalities having construction and maintenance responsibilities for thirty-six (36) of the fifty-five (55) roads listed on the exhibit. The league endorses this co-operative approach and encourages all municipalities to approve this Agreement even if none of the roads listed is in your corporate limits in order to be afforded notice. Should you require additional information, please contact the League office or our attorneys at 561-586-7116 for assistance.
