CITY COMMISSION MEETING
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: Church Road Extension
SUBMITTED BY: Jim Hanso C;t , ~
DATE: May 7, 2001.
BACKGROUND:. It was reported to the Mayor and Commission at the November 13,
2000 meeting that it was possible to extend Church Road from it's
present termination point at Mealy Street westwazd for
approximately two blocks to connect with Dutton Road to make it
easier for residents in the area to get to their homes and to improve
the access for Dutton Preserve. The right-of--way for this street
extension project was owned by the Cities of Atlantic Beach and
Jacksonville and the City limits line was the centerline of the
unopened portion of Church Road. Attached is a drawing labeled
Exhibit A; Unopened Portion of Church Road. The Mayor and
Commission directed staff to contact the City of Jacksonville to see
if they would give permission for the extension of the street over
their portion of the right-of--way and if they would provide some of
the funding.
Discussions were held with Joe Miller, the new Public Works
Director for the City of Jacksonville and it was reported in the
Commission meeting on January 22, 2001 that Mr. Miller had
agreed for Jacksonville to pay for one. half of the cost of the street
extension up to a total amount of $45,000. The next step was for
the City of Jacksonville's General Council's Office to prepare an
Interlocal Agreement for this project.
Since that time, drafts of the Interlocal Agreement have been
circulated between staff members in both cities and a final copy is
ready for the consideration of both elected bodies. The City
Attorney of Atlantic Beach has reviewed the language and his
suggestions were incorporated.
BUDGET: The total project cost is estimated at $90,000 with Atlantic Beach's
shaze being $45,000. This amount will be included in the mid-yeaz
budget adjustments which will be presented for the City
Commission's approval on May 14th.
