LETTER: Laura Blackmon, Acting County Manager, Osceola County, <br />to James Chandler dated Oct 17, 2002 <br />DATE: October 28, 2002 <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />On June 18, 1980, Indian River county and Brevard County entered <br />into an agreement with Osceola County for grading and maintenance <br />o f the twelve miles of Fellsmere Grade Road east of Kenansville. <br />This road is only accessible from US Highway 441 in Osceola County <br />and serves those Indian River County property owners south of the <br />Indian River/Brevard County lines. The agreement stated that <br />Indian River County would pay one-half the maintenance cost of <br />Fellsmere Grade Road adjacent to Indian River County and one-third <br />the cost of the road from Six Mile Road to US 441. The agreement <br />✓ equired Osceola County to submit a yearly budget to Indian River <br />County. <br />From 1980-2002, Osceola County has not submitted the required <br />yearly budget nor billed the County for maintenance. Several <br />meetings have occurred between Indian River, Osceola, and Brevard <br />Counties to settle past costs and proposed a new agreement. Also, <br />St. Johns River Water Management District constructed a boat ramp <br />at the east end of the road and has assumed some maintenance <br />✓ esponsibility. <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS <br />Osceola County has transmitted to Indian River County a new <br />maintenance agreement that provides the following: <br />1. Indian River County will pay one-fourth (;1) of the total <br />yearly cost ($31.000, or $7,750 for 2002/2003) to grade and <br />maintain Fellsmere Grade Road. The annual rate shall be <br />adjusted by the Consumer Price Index (South Urban Region) <br />yearly. <br />NOVEMBER 12, 2002 132 <br />OA <br />
