The County has entered into a Local Funding Agreement (LFA)with the Florida Department of <br /> Transportation to provide funding assistance to the FDOT during the right-of-way acquisition phase of <br /> the SR60/43Av widening project. Under the terms of the agreement, local agencies are obligated to <br /> pay $4,404,627 or 50% of the $8,809,254 right-of-way acquisition cost over a 3-year period. <br /> Given that 43rd Avenue is the north-south boundary line between the City of Vero Beach and the <br /> County, and also because 43rd Avenue is a primary thoroughfare serving both City and County <br /> residents, we feel that the City of Vero Beach should split the cost of the local match (50-50) with the <br /> County. The County proposes to fund its share of the local match from the County's share of the <br /> Optional Sales Tax, and we request that the City consider taking similar action. <br /> Thanks for your consideration. <br /> Chris <br /> Christopher R.
