Alternative No. 2 Deny the request. Projects would still have to be delayed unless the County funds the widening of Old Dixie Highway project limits and allocates alternative revenue sources to fund the shortfall. Alternative No. 3 Approve additional funding of $15,000 from the District 5 Traffic Impact Fee Fund and request the City to fund - the remaining shortfall of $12,840.11. Reduce the limits of the Old Dixie Highway Widening project by deleting the link between SR60 and 16th Street due to minimal traffic volumes. If this reduction occurs, all five needed projects could be funded by the year 2002. To solve short term cash flow deficiencies, inter -fund borrowing from Fund 109 (Secondary Road Trust Fund) could be accomplished, if necessary. This alternative should resolve all currently anticipated District 5 road widening needs in the next seven years, with the exception of FDOT funded projects (16th/17th Street between US1 and 14th Avenue, etc.). Alternative No. 3 is recommended whereby an additional $15,000 allocation from TIF District 5 Fund is approved for the 21st Street widening project. Once bids are received this summer for the 37th Street -and 41st Street projects, staff will review the District 5 fund to determine if the remaining $12,840.11 can be allocated. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Tippin, the Board unanimously (4-0, Chairman Macht being absent) approved additional funding of $15,000 from the District 5 Traffic Impact Fee Fund; directed staff to request the City of Vero Beach to fund the remaining shortfall of $12,840.11; and reduced the limits of the Old Dixie Highway Widening project by deleting the line between SR -60 and 16th Street, as recommended by staff.
