Title
Interlocal Agreement for Provision of Wastewater Service to the City of Waldo (B)
Explanation
On March 4, 2010, the City Commission authorized the General Manager to negotiate an Interlocal Agreement for future consideration by the City Commission for the provision of wastewater service to the City of Waldo via a sewer force main. The Interlocal Agreement will be between the City of Waldo, Alachua County, and the City of Gainesville and will address land use and comprehensive planning issues. In order facilitate input from the elected commissions of each of the parties, a Draft of the Interlocal Agreement was presented as an informational item to each commission in November/December 2010. After receiving input from each commission, staff modified provisions in the Draft Interlocal Agreement.
The Draft Interlocal Agreement was considered by the Alachua County Board of County Commissioners (BoCC) on February 22, 2011. The BoCC approved the Draft Interlocal Agreement with the modifications that were made in response to the input received by the BoCC and Gainesville City Commission. The BoCC Chair will transmit the Draft Agreement with a cover letter to the Mayors of Gainesville and Waldo. It is anticipated that the BoCC will approve the Final Agreement after it is approved by the Gainesville and Waldo Commissions.
Recommendation
The City Commission: 1) Receive a brief presentation on the Interlocal Agreement between the City of Gainesville, City of Waldo and Alachua County for the provision of wastewater service to the City of Waldo via a force main; and 2) Review the Interlocal agreement as approved by Alachua County and approve the Agreement.
