PURPOSE: The purpose of this Agenda Item is to request the Commission approve the amended lnterlocal Agreement between the City of Winter Springs and Seminole County for the design, construction and maintenance of the Cross Seminole Trail within the Town Center. The general purpose of this agreement is to delineate the responsibilities of the City and County as they relate to the design, construction and maintenance of those sections of the trail. Specifically, the agreement would authorize the County to entirely fund the design and construction of the Cross Seminole Trail (paved and unpaved) lying within the Town Center and the City to maintain those improvements consistent with County policy. APPLICABLE LAW AND PUBLIC POLICY: Section 260.012(5) of the Florida Statutes states, "The planning, development, operation, and maintenance of the Florida Greenways and Trails System is declared to be a public purpose, and the Department of Environmental Protection, together with other agencies of this state and all counties, municipalities, and special districts of this state, is authorized to spend public funds for such purposes and to accept gifts and grants offunds, property, or property rights from public or CDDlNovember 27,2001/2:13 PM November 26,2001 REGULAR AGENDA ITEM E Page 2 private sources to be used for such purposes." Section 260.016(1)(t) states in part, "The State may enter into agreements with any federal, state, or local governmental agency, or any other entity for the management of greenways and trails for recreation and conservation purposes consistent with the intent of this chapter. . . ." CONSIDERA TIONS: 1. The Cross Seminole Trail will traverse the City of Winter Springs and its Town Center as a part of the Florida National Scenic Trail. 2. Dover, Kohl and Partners, the City's planning consultant, recommended the realignment of the previously existing trail location to enhance the economic development potential and design of the overall Town Center. 3. On April 2, 1998, the County submitted a Trail Realignment application to the Office of Greenways and Trails (OGT) of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. 4. On April 26, 1999, the City Commission adopted the first interlocal agreement between the City and County, which originally obligated the City to design, build and maintain the relocated portions of the trail in the Town Center. 5. On July 25, 2000, the legislature approved the trail relocation. 6. On January 10, 2001, the transfer and closing of the property acquisitions for the relocated trail portions occurred. FINDINGS: 1. The design and construction of the trail is envisioned to be funded with federal-aid programs. 2. Local Agency Program (LAP) certification is required to use federal-aid funds for project planning, project development, design, right-of-way acquisition and construction, and the City does not have this certification. 3. The original interlocal agreement, adopted in April 1999 did not consider the LAP certification requirement and only addressed the relocated trail segments. 4. The interlocal agreement, if approved, would obligate the County, as LAP certified, to design and build the portions of the trail within the Town Center, while obligating the City to maintain those same portions of the trail.
