ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: February 20, 2007 <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No. <br />SUBJECT: Inter-local Agreement - Cost Sharing for Fairview Land Swap Survey <br />DEPARTMENT: County Manager PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No <br />ATTACHMENT(S): <br />Inter-local Agreement <br />Engineering Proposal <br />INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Gwen Harvey, Assistant County <br />Manager, 245-2300 <br />PURPOSE: To approve a proposed Inter-local Agreement to provide for cost sharing of land <br />surveying services necessary to the land swap as recently authorized by the Town and the <br />BOCC within the Fairview Public Campus Master Plan. <br />BACKGROUND: Both Town and County elected bodies have confirmed a proposed land swap <br />in which the Town would reduce the size of the land they would receive and reserve certain <br />properties for future uses to be negotiated. <br />Approval of the proposed Inter-local Agreement, as drafted by the Town Attorney, would allow <br />the Town to proceed with retaining a surveyor and developing the necessary plats and deeds to <br />be recorded. The BOCC agreed at its January 23, 2007 regular meeting that it was acceptable <br />for the Town of Hillsborough to take the lead on these land service activities and to develop the <br />attached cost-sharing arrangement for management review and adoption by both elected <br />bodies. <br />County staffs - Purchasing/Central Services, Engineering, ERCD, Recreation and Parks _ have <br />reviewed the agreement and engineering proposal attached and have no objections to its <br />approval. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The County fifty-percent cost share is projected to be $875. Funds for <br />this purpose are available within the capital project account for the development of the Fairview <br />Public Campus Master Plan. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve and authorize the <br />Chair to sign and execute the Inter-local Agreement.
