PUBLIC WORKS & AGREEMENTS 01-11-06

The Board convened as Board of Directors of Hesper Charter Road Improvement District to consider approval of a Maintenance Agreement for Hesper Charter Road Improvement District. Keith Browning, Director of Public Works/County Engineer, explained that this agreement is needed to define the maintenance responsibilities and cost sharing for maintenance activities for roads within the Hesper Charter Road Improvement District. Browning met with the Eudora Township Board on January 6, 2006 at their monthly meeting. The agreement stipulates that Douglas County will perform all road maintenance activities. The County will withhold from the Township a percentage of revenues dedicated for road purposes in accordance with the ratio of the valuation of properties within the District divided by the total Township valuation. The District will supplement these funds with special assessments collected from properties within the District. Properties within the District will be assessed for the difference between the estimated annual road maintenance costs and the percentage of revenues for road purposes withheld from the Township and deposited into the District maintenance fund. The District would then reimburse the County (Road & Bridge Fund 201) by periodic journal entries for actual maintenance costs. After discussion, Johnson made a motion that the District Board authorize the President and Vice President to sign three (3) original copies of the agreement. Motion was seconded by Jones and carried unanimously.

Johnson made a motion that the Board of Directors adjourn; Jones seconded and the motion carried unanimously.

Jones made a motion that the  Board of County Commissioners authorize the Chair to sign three (3) original copies of the Agreement. Motion was seconded by Johnson and carried unanimously.

Johnson made a motion to adjourn; Jones seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
