Item O02BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
Meeting Date: 5/20/15 — KL Division: County Attorney
Bulk Item: Yes XX No Staff Contact: Bob Shillinger, 305-292-3470
AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of interlocal agreement with the Key Largo Wastewater
Treatment District to re -sequence the distribution of Mayfield Grant Funding and authorization to
jointly file suit with the District to validate the agreement under Chapter 75, Florida Statutes.
ITEM BACKGROUND: The State of Florida has authorized up to $200 million in grant funding to
assist Keys' wastewater entities to complete central sewer and related projects. The local governmental
entities with wastewater jurisdiction have entered into an interlocal agreement establishing a
distribution schedule for those funds. That agreement allows for individual entities to agree to
redistribute their respective allocations amongst themselves by side agreement, such as this.
Under the proposed agreement, the KLWTD would assign its $17 million grant allocation from the
Year 2 of 4 distribution schedule to the County in exchange for the County repaying those funds over
time. The proposed ILA also contemplates assignment of future distributions in Years 3 and 4 if the
County can still use those funds at that time. The County will repay the funds to the KLWTD using
infrastructure sales surtax proceeds which may be lawfully used to finance or refinance existing debt.
The County benefits from the agreement by reducing the borrowing costs for the Cudjoe Regional
Wastewater Treatment project. By accepting the Mayfield grant funds from the KLWTD, the County
avoids having to borrow funds from the State Revolving Fund. The savings on interest on the $17
million Year 2 allocation are estimated to exceed $5.5 million. The KLWTD also benefits from the
agreement by being able to use the funds it receives from the County to reduce its outstanding debt.
In order to provide protection and predictability to both the County and the District, the proposed ILA
contemplates filing a bond validation proceeding under Chapter 75, Florida Statutes. The County and
District would jointly file a bond validation proceeding in the Circuit Court for the 161h Judicial Circuit.
The County and District would split the costs of the validation proceeding including attorney's fees for
bond counsel, which are estimated will total about $50,000.00.
