THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT/FACILITIES MANAGEMENT DIVISION/REAL PROPERTY SECTION AND LIBRARIES DIVISION RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.

On August 30, 2011 (Item No. 52), the Board of County Commissioners approved an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) for Programming, Design, and Construction of a Library Facility among the County, the Pompano Beach Community Redevelopment Agency and the City of Pompano Beach. The ILA set forth the terms and conditions for the design and construction of a library to replace the existing library located at 1213 E. Atlantic Boulevard in Pompano Beach. The ILA provided that the library would occupy the ground floor and a cultural center would occupy the second floor of the facility. In addition, upon completion of construction, the City would lease the library portion to the County. 

After execution of the ILA, the design for the facility was changed so that both the library and cultural center would occupy both floors. The proposed Amendment reflects the final design and construction of the facility and addresses changes to the public art component. The proposed lease agreement is for a 50-year term at a rental rate of $1 per year. The term may be extended in 50-year increments. Broward County is responsible for its pro rata share of the utilities.

All documents have been reviewed and approved as to form by the Office of the County Attorney.
