SMITH, City Manager FROM: PETER A. LICHTMAN, Assistant City Attorney DATE: August 28, 2000 RE: ENTRYWAY SIGN AGREEMENT WITH BROWARD COUNTY The City of Dania Beach (the "City") has negotiated an Agreement with Broward County (the "Agreement") for the installation of a new entryway sign and new landscaping to be installed at the southwest corner of New Griffin Road (S.R. 818) and U.S. Highway One (the "Site"). The Agreement requires Broward County to remove the existing "welcome signs" and landscaping currently at the Site, and to design and install a new entryway sign and new landscaping, including installing an irrigation system, at no cost to the City. The City would be responsible for the maintenance of the new sign and new landscaping. • However, the Florida Department of Transportation ("FDOT") currently controls and regulates the Site. As such, before the Agreement can be entered into,the City must request that FDOT modify its Special Permit No. S-8687.013, so as to allow the County, on behalf of the City, to perform the work required in the Agreement (on August 20, 1987, FDOT issued Special Permit No. S-8687.013, authorizing the City to construct, operate and maintain two "welcome signs" at that location). Once that permit is modified to allow the County to perform the work,the City may then enter into the Agreement. The Agreement is consistent with the interlocal agreement the City entered into with the County in 1995, pertaining to the Airport expansion (the Site falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Airport). The interlocal agreement called for Broward County"to approve, or support the granting by the appropriate agency of, an easement to allow the continuation and maintenance" of the signs. Paragraph 19 of the 1995 agreement states that the"CITY agrees to maintain said entry sign. The COUNTY further agrees to install . . . at no cost to the CITY, a landscaped gateway to the CITY on U.S.1, south of Griffin Road." Although no mention is made as to which party was to maintain the landscaping, the City has always done so(the County has not assumed such responsibility). Two resolutions have been prepared for your consideration. Proposed Resolution No. 2000- requests FDOT to modify its Special Permit. Once that resolution subsequently passes and FDOT modifies its Special Permit, a second resolution, Resolution No. 2000- , will be presented for consideration. That resolution authorizes the appropriate City officials to execute the Agreement with the County.
