AGENDA MEMORANDUM

 

 

Meeting Date:     May 10, 2010

 

From:                    Bill Wiley, AICP, Community Development Director

 

Subject:                Resolution responding to initiation of Interlocal Service Boundary Agreement (ISBA) process

 

 

Staff Recommendation:

Staff recommends approval of the Resolution responding to the City of Groveland Resolution 2010-03-01, initiating the negotiation process for an ISBA, per Chapter 171.203, Florida Statutes.

 

Analysis:  

The City of Groveland has adopted Resolution 2010-03-01 initiating the process pursuant to Chapter 171.203, Florida Statutes for negotiating an ISBA and has invited a number of cities, including Leesburg, to participate.  As an invited municipality, the City of Leesburg is required to adopt a responding resolution, in order to be part of the negotiation process for an Agreement.  Per state statutes, if an invited participant fails to accept the invitation by not adopting a Responding Resolution, they will be bound by any agreement that is reached by the other local governments. The attached Responding Resolution serves as the City’s response to Groveland, which includes a map of the geographic area for negotiation, and concurs with the issues stated in Groveland’s Resolution.  The overall goal of the ISBA process is to establish agreed upon standards for annexation and service delivery in this unincorporated area.

 

Options:

1.  Approve the attached Responding Resolution; or

2.  Such alternative action as the Commission may deem appropriate

 

Fiscal Impact: 

There is no immediate fiscal impact.
