No. 13 TO: Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem & City Council FROM: Grayson Path, City Manager Rob Vine, Assistant City Manager Stephanie Harris, City Attorney Andrew Mack, Director of Planning and Community Development Chris Donnan, Hayter Engineering — Contracted City Engineer SUBJECT: North Lamar ISD — Interlocal Agreement DATE: July 11, 2022 BACKGROUND: At the April 25, 2022 City Council Meeting, a Final Plat for NLISD for a new elementary school was approved which included a 60' new ROW dedicated for the construction of a collector -sized street as required in our Master Thoroughfare Plan. NLISD will be moving a pre -planned 24' wide private road out to this new ROW and the City will be participating in the cost by upsizing to a 39' wide collector street. This will pave the way towards future development west and north as laid out in the City's various planning documents, plans and maps. STATUS OF ISSUE: The City has worked closely with NLISD to develop the attached Interlocal Agreement (ILA) for the cost sharing of this collector street and sidewalk. We are agreeing to waive some landscaping requirements as well as a requirement that sidewalks be on both sides of the street — agreeing that only one side will be served by a sidewalk. The sidewalk will also be phased to time with TxDOT's anticipated sidewalk project along North Main Street. NLISD has received bids for the collector street and submitted to us their estimate for a cost share. Our contracted city engineering firm, Hayter Engineering, has reviewed the proposed cost share and determined it to be a fair estimate for the cost to upsize the project. We therefore are recommending approval of the ILA to cost share in this project.
