CONSENT AGENDA INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA MEMORANDUM TO: Joseph A. Baird; County Administrator DEPARTMENT HEAD CONCURRENCE: Stan Boling, I P; Community Development Director THROUGH: Phil Matson, AICP; MPO Staff Director FROM: Andy Sobczak; Senior Transportation Planner DATE: May 8, 2015 SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Agreeing to Maintenance of the Trans-Central Florida Rail Trail through the St. Sebastian Preserve State Park It is requested that the information herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of May 19, 2015. DESCRIPTION, CONDITIONS & ANALYSIS The Trans-Central Florida Railroad Trail is the centerpiece of the North Indian River County Greenways Plan and is the highest ranked transportation enhancement priority of the Indian River County MPO. Recently, FDOT began the process of designing and constructing all unbuilt portions of the Trans-Central Florida Railroad Trail east of I-95 and an overpass at I-95 linking the trail to the Fellsmere area (see Attachment 1). In order to enable FDOT to proceed with construction of the trail, Indian River County must adopt the attached resolution. That resolution authorizes the chairman of the BCC to sign a Maintenance Memorandum of Agreement(MMOA) with FDOT committing the County to maintain those portions of the trail constructed between 104th Avenue and North County Park in unincorporated Indian River County. With respect to the request, Community Development Department staff has coordinated with Public Works staff regarding the proposed maintenance agreement and Public Works has agreed to perform the requested maintenance. FUNDING This action extends current trail maintenance by a short distance over a new segment of trail. The cost to the County of the proposed action is negligible.
