. The City's proposed text modification would have clarified the responsibilities of the
TMDL Technical Coordination Group. Removal of this text does not alter the scope of
the agreement or commit the City to any funding.
INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT SUMMARY:
The proposed TMDL Interlocal Agreement with Seminole County and all incorporated cities in
the County will accomplish the following:
. Streamline intergovernmental cooperation on regional TMDL issues
. Increase the effectiveness in seeking and obtaining matching funds from outside sources
for implementation ofTMDL-related activities
. Allow local governments to share knowledge and resources on TMDL issues
The Interlocal Agreement will create a TMDL "Technical Coordination Group" (TCG)
consisting of representatives from the County and each incorporated city. The TCG will meet
regularly, identify priority studies and projects, develop cost sharing formulas, seek matching
funds, and perform other activities as needed to cost-effectively implement the TMDL. The
Interlocal Agreement provides a means for local jurisdictions to implement regional TMDL
solutions without entering into separate Interlocal Agreements for every regional TMDL activity.
FUNDING:
This Interlocal Agreement does not require any funding. Funding requests for specific projects to
be performed under this Agreement would go through the City's normal budgeting and approval
process.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that authorization be given to enter into an Interlocal Agreement with
Seminole County and the cities of Altamonte Springs, Casselberry, Lake Mary, Longwood,
Sanford, and Oviedo, providing intergovernmental cooperation on TMDL-related
implementation activities.
