Recommendation Concerning the Florida-Alabama Transportation Planning Organization Interlocal Agreement - Joy D. Blackmon, P.E., Public Works Department Director
That the Board take the following action concerning the Florida-Alabama Transportation Planning Organization Interlocal Agreement:
A. Adopt the Resolution authorizing the Chairman to execute the Interlocal Agreement for Creation of the Florida-Alabama Transportation Planning Organization;
B. Approve the updated Interlocal Agreement for Creation of the Florida-Alabama Transportation Planning Organization made and entered into on the 7th day of October 2015, by and between the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT); Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT); Florida Counties of Escambia and Santa Rosa; Alabama County of Baldwin; the Cities of Pensacola, Gulf Breeze, Milton in Florida and Orange Beach in Alabama; and Escambia County Area Transit; and
C. Authorize Mike Crittenden, General Manager, Escambia County Area Transit, to execute the Interlocal Agreement.
[There is no budgetary impact] |
| BACKGROUND: |
The parties to this Interlocal Agreement (ILA) desire to participate cooperatively, on a continuing basis, in the performance of a coordinated, comprehensive transportation planning process to assure that highway facilities, mass transit systems, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, rail systems, air transportation and other facilities will be properly located and developed in relation to the overall plan of community development.
Pursuant to this Interlocal Agreement, the parties wish to collectively participate in the metropolitan planning process as the Florida-Alabama Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) for the Pensacola, Florida-Alabama urbanized area.
The reason for updating the TPO ILA is due to the recent inclusion of the City Council member from Orange Beach and the Escambia County Area Transit (ECAT) General Manager to the TPO Board as voting members. The TPO approved the ILA at their regularly scheduled meeting on October 7, 2015, and all signatory parties (the TPO, the Florida Department of Transportation, the Alabama Department of Transportation, Escambia County, Santa Rosa County, Baldwin County, ECAT, and the cities of Pensacola, Milton, Gulf Breeze, and Orange Beach) are asked to approve the Interlocal Agreement at their respective governing board meetings.
Orange Beach was added due to TPO boundary expansion (based on census data) and the ECAT General Manager was added due to Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21 Century (MAP-21) Federal Law. |
