RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning the Interlocal Agreement Between Escambia County, Florida, and Emerald Coast Utilities Authority Relating to the Utility Easement for New Escambia County Correctional Facility - Robert Dye, Interim Facilities Director

That the Board take the following action concerning an Interlocal Agreement between Escambia County, Florida, and the Emerald Coast Utilities Authority (ECUA), relating to the Utility Easement for the New Escambia County Correctional Facility:

A. Approve the Interlocal Agreement; and

B. Authorize the Chairman to sign the Interlocal Agreement and any related documents.

BACKGROUND:

The design of the New Escambia County Correctional Facility will have a connecting corridor between the new facility and the existing facility. This corridor will go over an existing ECUA easement, as described in the Official Record Book 4816 on page 1544. ECUA currently maintains the wastewater utility lines within the easement as well as facilities upstream of the easement. Due to safety concerns ECUA has determined that it would be impractical for them to operate and maintain the utility lines on this easement. The Interlocal Agreement requires Escambia County to maintain the wastewater lines as illustrated on the attached Interlocal Agreement (Article 2, paragraph 2.1 Responsibility of Parties) in exchange for a one time payment of $260,482.97, this amount is equivalent to the calculated impact fee for the new correctional facility.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

Escambia County will receive a one time payment of $260,482.97 from ECUA.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS/SIGN-OFF:

Interlocal Agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form and legal sufficiency by the County Attorney's Office.

PERSONNEL:

POLICY/REQUIREMENT FOR BOARD ACTION:
