M regulations would free up staff time for working on more pressing traffic issues, issues also affecting the city and the town. The second task to be added to the scope (developing a countywide transportation links database and updating process) involves the technical work to add the city and town's roads to the network and to revise the concurrency database. This is a necessary activity to implement the process. Based upon the consultant's analysis of thoroughfare plan roads in each jurisdiction, the cost of the additional services has been allocated to the town and city. These costs are $6,674.88 for Vero Beach and $1,485.12 for Indian River Shores. Each jurisdiction has agreed to pay this amount. Staff's position is that an .interjurisdictional concurrency management system would be advantageous to all jurisdictions. Not only could the county assist the municipalities with its expertise, but this system would also ensure that a comprehensive database is maintained and that development impacts are accurately monitored. Attached to this item is the proposed addendum to the consultant's scope of services. Also attached is correspondence from the City of Vero Beach agreeing to the referenced expenses. Since the deadline for preparation and adoption of the county's revised land development regulations is quickly approaching and since the traffic impact analysis regulations are a part of those land development regulations, it is imperative that action be taken on this matter immediately. Subsequently, an interlocal agreement formalizing the process and identifying responsibilities should be executed. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recomttiends that the board of county commissioners approve the concept of an interjurisdictional concurrency management system involving the county, the City of Vero Beach and the Town of Indian River Shores. The staff also recommends that the board approve the attached addendum to the scope of services of the Tindale -Oliver contract, including an increase in the consultant's cost of $8,160 to be paid by the city and the town. Finally, the staff recommends that the board authorize staff to work with the city and the town to develop a proposed interlocal agreement formalizing the interjurisdictional concurrency management system. Chairman Eggert asked if we have approached Sebastian, Fellsmere, and Orchid, in this regard, and Director Keating advised that we have not as yet, except on a lower level staff basis. Administrator Chandler confirmed that staff felt it would be better to work out the nuts and bolts with the City of Vero Beach and Indian River Shores first. If we could get that established and running, it would make the transition with the others much easier. BOOK 27 MAX 2 2 1990
