FUNDING SOURCE: Upon approval of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the Utility Enterprise Fund in an estimated amount of $360,000. BACKGROUND: The proposed Interlocal Agreement is a partnership that Tarrant County and the City have entered into previously for work on various city streets. Tarrant County has also entered into similar agreements with neighboring cities. Under the terms of the agreement, Tarrant County will provide labor and equipment for the rehabilitation activities. The City will pay for materials, one-half of fuel costs, traffic control and other miscellaneous items for the rehabilitation of Snakey Lane from Silvercrest Lane to Kimball Avenue. The repairs to Snakey Lane are driven by the recent installation of a 15 inch sanitary sewer line, as such, we are proposing to use Water Utility funding for this effort. Staff recommends approval.
