Explanation:
The City desires to pursue the installation of landscape, irrigation, and specialty materials to enhance the appearance of the frontage along the State Road 9 / I-95 corridor at the three (3) interchanges located in the City of Hollywood. These portions of The State Road 9 / I-95 Rights-Of-Way fall within the jurisdiction of the Florida Department of Transportation (“FDOT”).
As such, this project’s improvements will be added, through an Amendment, to the City’s existing Landscape Inclusive MOA with FDOT. The City’s current MOA with FDOT was last adopted in 2013 (R-2013-027).
The attached Amendment between the City and FDOT establishes maintenance responsibilities and understanding for the improvements. In the agreement, the City is required to maintain the landscaping improvements.
Fiscal Impact:
Approval of this resolution will not fiscally impact the City as this is a proposal for an amendment to the landscape MMOA with FDOT to maintain the landscape improvements.
Funding for the ongoing landscaping maintenance will be budgeted in subsequent fiscal years’ operating budget subject to approval and adoption by the City Commission.
