Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with City of Douglas to acquire the Right-of-Way for a proposed Port of Entry effective July 30, 2015 through July 30, 2025, unless terminated by either party.
Background:
The City of Douglas is working with the federal government and Mexico to establish an alternate port of entry at the junction of W. James Road. If a port of entry is established, it is necessary to build a road from the border to Highway 80. That requires right-of-way. The City has asked the County for assistance in acquiring that right-of-way. Towards that end, the County right-of-way agent has identified the necessary right-of-way, as depicted on an attachment to this agenda item. In addition, Supervisor English has pledged up to $97,000 of her discretionary funds for the purchase of right-of-way. Pursuant to the IGA, if any of these funds are expended for the purchase of right-of-way, but the port of entry is not built by July 30, 2025, Douglas will reimburse the County for the amounts expended.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Provide funds to acquire right-of-way, when purchased.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
The City of Douglas will not have the County's financial assistance towards purchasing right-of-way for a new port of entry.
To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:
Sign two copies of the IGA, return one to Douglas City Clerk Brenda Aguilar.
