RECOMMENDATION
Option 1. Unless otherwise directed by Council, this item will be scheduled for formal consideration at the February 21, 2023 Regular Meeting.
BACKGROUND
The Duck Creek South Extension Trail at IH-30/Beltline Rd. is a proposed 12-foot wide concrete trail that will be constructed within the city limits of Mesquite and extend from the existing Mesquite Heritage Trail towards Ablon Park to the east.
Through partnership of the Cities, a regional system of multipurpose trails was planned in Garland and Mesquite, connecting communities, neighborhoods and other destination points. The trails will meet public recreation and transportation needs as well as add to the quality of life for the citizens of both Cities.
The City has negotiated an Interlocal Cooperation Agreement (ILA) with Mesquite for construction, maintenance and operation of a public Bike/Pedestrian Trail at both Cities’ jurisdiction line as shown on the attached Location Map. The City of Mesquite staff presented this ILA to their City Council for consideration on October 17, 2022, garnering formal approval.
The agreement establishes the terms of design, construction, inspections, acceptance ownership, operation and maintenance of the trail.
CONSIDERATION
Council action is required to authorize the City Manager to sign the ILA with Mesquite.
The ILA was reviewed by the City Attorney’s Office.
