Body
BACKGROUND:
Resolution No. 3884 was approved by City Council on December 15, 2015. It authorized an interlocal cooperation agreement (ICA) providing funding in the amount of $1,300,000.00 for the construction of the southbound lanes of Marsh Lane between Hebron Parkway and Plano Parkway, which is scheduled for construction in 2016. Denton County has recently increased their commitment for design, construction and associated costs to $1,503,427.00. This resolution provides authorization to enter into the updated agreement to allow for that increase.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Under the terms of the ICA, Denton County will provide a total of $1,503,427.00 toward the Marsh Lane project. Any additional costs beyond the scope of the ICA will come from the City’s Streets Consolidated Account.
IMPACT ON COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY:
This project will contribute to community sustainability by:
- Sustaining quality of life - The addition of the southbound lanes will increase mobility and reduce traffic congestion.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION/ACTION DESIRED:
Staff recommends that City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into an interlocal cooperation agreement with Denton County for this project.
