MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Wheeler for the <br />County to set forth, with the Capital Improvements <br />Program, that priorities have changed from funding <br />projects to funding right-of-way acquisitions. MOTION <br />DIED FOR LACK OF A SECOND. <br />Discussion ensued between Commissioners and staff regarding options for <br />increased funding for the 66th Avenue Road Project. <br />Chairman Davis declared that it was not feasible to do the 66th Avenue Road <br />Project with the $2 million allocated. <br />Public Works Director Jim Davis advised that there was a substantial amount of <br />funding within the five-year Capital Improvements Program for right-of-way acquisition, and if <br />the $2 million budgeted for 66th Avenue is over -expended, funding can be borrowed from other <br />projects. <br />Administrator Baird suggested aggressively purchasing the right of way, re- <br />adjusting as needed, and reviewing projects and status with the Board every three months. <br />Commissioners and staff engaged in detailed discussion on the 43rd and 66th <br />Avenue Road Projects, the five-year plan, the funds which had been advanced to the FDOT for <br />the SR 60 Road Project, and the possibility of transferring funds designated for other projects to <br />the 66th Avenue project. <br />Relative to transferring funds from other projects, Commissioner Solari felt it <br />would be best for the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) to come back with suggestions <br />on any project which could be removed at this time. <br />Chairman Davis wanted to move both construction and right-of-way acquisitions <br />forward, with some exceptions. <br />27 <br />November 18, 2008 <br />
