Title
Consider approving Resolution No. 2017-114 authorizing the City Manager to execute a Master Interlocal Agreement with Dallas County for reimbursement of road maintenance funds relative to the Dallas County’s Road and Bridge Project Fund; and take appropriate action.
Body
BACKGROUND:
Dallas County provides the opportunity to cities within Dallas County to obtain partial funding for certain qualifying road and bridge maintenance of Type B projects. Type B roadways are considered improvements and maintenance of thoroughfares and bridges of major cross-county importance which are either existing or proposed. The Regional Thoroughfare Plan for North Central Texas Council of Governments will be used as a guide to determine which thoroughfares are of major cross-county importance. The City must have a Master Interlocal Agreement in place, and a Project Specific Interlocal Agreement for each specific project awarded.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Farmers Branch has been provided the opportunity by Dallas County for financial assistance on qualifying roadway maintenance. The City may continue to receive this funding, however must have an executed Master Interlocal Agreement with Dallas County on record. The Master Interlocal Agreement will be effective for five years for future qualifying Road and Bridge Project funding opportunities.
RECOMMENDATION:
