Last year, the County staff began the Florida DOT application process to permit <br />the project, but DOT staff was reluctant to issue the permit due to clear zone <br />encroachments. Last month, however, staff was successful in obtaining a permit. <br />lice cost to construct the sidewalk is approximately $8,000. The possible funding <br />source is 1994/95 Local Option Sales Tax(Fund 315-214-541-066.32, balance as <br />of 6/30/95 is $95,422). The 20th Avenue sidewalk between 8th Street and the <br />new Oslo Middle School is estimated to cost $80,000, so funds are available to <br />construct the US 1 sidewalk. <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS <br />The alternatives presented are as follows: <br />Alternative # 1 <br />Approve the project and authorize staff to proceed to construct. <br />Alternative # two <br />Since this section of sidewalk is included in the ISTEA Enhancement <br />Application for the South County Recreation Path project (not yet <br />funded by DOT), delay the project until DOT funding is approved. <br />This would delay the project for up to five years. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING <br />Since the 800 lineal feet of sidewalk is needed at this time, staff recommends <br />Alternative # 1. Funding to be from 1994/95 Local Option Sales Tax revenue. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously <br />approved the project and authorized staff to <br />proceed with construction, as recommended in <br />the memorandum.
