RE: Goodland Road Funding
Dear Mr. Hernstadt:
Consistent with our recent discussion, I will be advising our Board that I intend to move forward with
the first-half payment of funding as outlined in our inter-local agreement. This action is with the
understanding that your Council will be including sufficient dedicated funding in your FY 2016
budget for the design of the Goodland Road upgrade. Upon confirmation that the Council has
approved a tentative budget for the design, I will complete the second-half payment.
Both you and the City Engineer emphatically stated that you could easily have a design contract
executed by the end of calendar 2015 and a completed design within 12 months. We look forward to
participating in that effort. I will recommend to my Board that we establish a joint funding agreement
so that we proportionately share in all of the costs associated with the effort, commensurate with our
percentage of the project.
We look forward to partnering in the long awaited and badly needed improvements to Goodland
Road consistent with the intent of the inter-local agreement.
Should you have any additional questions or concerns,please do not hesitate to contact me.
Respectfully,
Leo E. Ochs, Jr.
County Manager
