Date: February 4, 1998 Subject: Interlocal Agreement Between Jupiter. and Tequesta for Joint Funding of Maintenance of the Dover Ditch; Agenda Item The attached Interlocal Agreement has been worked out between the . staffs of Jupiter and Tequesta, as well as the Attorneys for each municipality. The Agreement was conceptually approved by the Town Council of Jupiter at their Meeting on January 20, 1998. The Agreement is fairly straightforward, setting forth the percentage contributions to future maintenance to be paid by each municipality, 40% to Jupiter, and 60% to Tequesta, based on the parties current respective shares of total permitted discharge to the Dover Ditch. Currently, third-party maintenance costs associated with the Dover Ditch maintenance is running $800 per month, to be divided pursuant to the 60/40 split upon execution of the Agreement. Upon formal adoption of the Agreement, Tequesta will withdraw its Petition for an Administrative Hearing, entered on December 19, 1997, over our concern with this very issue. It is recommended that the Village Council adopt the Resolution approving .the Interlocal Agreement and authorizing the Mayor to sign the same on behalf of the Village.
