CASSELBERRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of January 8, 2007 - Regular Meeting Page 4 of 14 FOR SEMINOLE LOCAL SALES SURTAX FOR THE CITY'S TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS, SEVERABILITY, AND EFFECTIVE DATE." Notice of Public Hearing: The Notice of Public Hearing relative to Resolution 07-1746 was published in the Orlando Sentinel on December 24, 2006. Staff Report: Mr. Ed Torres, Public Works Director stated Resolution 07-1746 provides for an amendment to the interlocal agreement with Seminole County regarding transportation improvement projects to be funded with the proceeds of a second generation local government infrastructure sales surtax. The amendment was prepared at the City's request and revises both Exhibit A and Exhibit B of the original interlocal agreement. Exhibit A was revised to update revenue estimates for the City's projects from $9.58 Million to $11 Million Dollars. Exhibit B identifies changes requested by the City to allow Seminole County to cost-share in several projects along U.S. Highway 17-92, rather than just one project. In lieu of the Pedestrian Overpass Project originally scheduled for the Triplet Lake Drive intersection, the following realignment and/or pedestrian improvement projects would be implemented as funding permits: I. Triplet Lake Drive; 2. Plumosa Avenue; 3. Lemon Lane; 4. Button Road; and 5. Melody Lane. The amendment to the interlocal agreement was approved by the Seminole County Board of County Commissioners on April 25,2006. Unfortunately, due to a turnover in staff, this agreement was not presented to the City Commission for execution until now. Budget Impact: The increased proceeds resulting from revised projections will be increasing the Infrastructure Surtax Fund (114-0710-541). Based on the revised projections by Seminole County, the increased proceeds are estimated to be $1,420,000. It is important to note that these funds should serve as a contingency for the escalating construction costs.
