Re: FS 335.04(4)
Dear Ray :
l'le are confronted ,,,i th a problem of the County having the State mandate
the County taking over the maintenance of certain roads. The County stands
on the fact the FS 335.04(4) prohibits them from maintaining these County
highways except curb to curb in the cities. This leaves the question of
maintaining the rest of the right-of-way up to the ---- who? The
section says an agreement can be worked out for the Cities to take on
the added work, responsibility, and liability.
TIle question I poise --- the County states the Florida League of Cities
had the second sentence inserted into 335.04(4) that restricted the Counties
from maintaining the sidewalks; mowing the swales; shoulder maintenance; etc.
Did we obtain that sentence to be inserted?
The County now hides behind this single sentence in tJle statutes to
avoid certain work but, at the same time, requires their control and
approval of all utilities, driveways, etc., in the outer portions of the
right-of-way they refuse to be responsible for.
Ra.y, did the Lcaaue 00 this? Ciln it:.. be ilITICnnCO in t:he next session
or is it a question of special interests wanting this as is?
Very truly yours,
CITY OF SAIH-'OT'"D
