body
BACKGROUND:
On September 26, 2019, the Coconut Creek City Commission, through Resolution No. 2019-239, approved an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) with Broward County to provide funding for the City's community shuttle service. The ILA authorized funding to the City in the amount of $52.48 per bus service hour for the community shuttle service in Fiscal Year 2020 (FY20). This funding is adjusted annually and may increase, decrease, or remain the same depending on reported operational and maintenance costs.
On August 9, 2021, the Coconut Creek City Commission, through Resolution No. 2021-154, approved the first amendment to the ILA. The first amendment provided for additional funding from the County to cover the City's increased operational and maintenance costs to operate the community shuttle service in FY21 in the amount of $57.96 per bus service hour.
On April 25, 2024, the Coconut Creek City Commission, through Resolution No. 2024-066, approved the second amendment to the ILA. The second amendment decreased the funding from the County from $57.96 to $48.71 per bus service hour due to a change in the County's methodology for calculating reimbursement costs.
DISCUSSION:
The ILA with Broward County to provide funding for the City's community shuttle service is currently in its second and final renewal period and is scheduled to expire on September 30, 2024. The County has elected to extend the ILA term by one (1) additional year, which results in a new expiration date of September 30, 2025.
