TO: Charles P. Balczun, County Administrator FROM: James W. Davis, P.E. 0 Public Works Director DATE: February 19, 1988 FILE: SUBJECT: Application for Local Government Assistance Program Funds REFERENCES: DESCRIPTION OF CONDITIONS The Florida Department of Transportation (FOOT) has announced the avail- ability of matching funds to local governments for roadway projects which will directly aid the state highway system. Indian River Boulevard qualifies as a project which aids State Road 5 (US 1) and matching funds have previously been received for Phase II con- struction. Matching funds for Phase III (Royal Palm Blvd. to 37th Street) are available through.a competitive selection process by the FDOT. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS 1. Authorize the County Administrator and County Budget Officer to sign the attached application for matching funds. Local matching funds are programmed in the 5 -year Transportation Capital Improvement Plan. 2. Deny the application for matching funds. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the attached application be approved and the County Administrator and Director of Management & Budget be authorized to sign. Commissioner Bird believed there is a mistake in some of the addition on Page 5 of the backup material, and Public Works Director Davis noted there is also a correction that will have to be made on Page 11 of the backup; some of the Phase IV numbers, i.e., the costs for the Sanctuary Park !VW acquisition and some other miscellaneous costs, were inadvertently included, and he will have those deleted from the Phase 111 project cost as Phase III is standing alone for the purpose of the grant. Commissioner Bowman asked why we advertised in the Tampa Tribune, and Attorney Vitunac explained that ad was not placed to satisfy legal requirements; he felt it probably was involved in the process of finding consultants.
