Subject: Request to Execute the Interlocal Agreement for the Palm Beach
Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO)
Dear Mayor Glickstein:
The Palm Beach MPO Board is currently comprised of nineteen (19) elected officials in
Palm Beach County and was most recently established through Interlocal Agreement
signed in October 2004 by all jurisdictions that are represented on the MPO Board. In
2014, the Florida Legislature amended § 339.175(3), F.S. to increase the maximum
number of apportioned members from nineteen (19) to twenty-five (25).
At the July 17, 2014 MPO Board Meeting, the Palm Beach MPO approved the addition
of two (2) members for a total of twenty-one (21) members. The membership changes
include the addition of the Village of Palm Springs as a new member and permanent
seats for the City of Greenacres and the Village of Royal Palm Beach (they currently
rotate a seat on an annual basis).
The enclosed Interlocal Agreement implements this membership change and was
drafted by the Florida Department of Transportation to meet Federal and State
requirements. Also enclosed is a sample resolution authorizing execution of the
Agreement. We are asking you to schedule the execution of this Interlocal
Agreement at your earliest convenience and return an executed copy to the MPO
at the above address. After the Agreement is fully executed by all parties, copies will
be distributed.
Our target date for full execution of the Agreement is September 30, 2015. If you have
any questions, please contact Elizabeth Requeny at (561) 684-4170 or
erequeny@pa Im beachmpo. org.
Sincerely,
IeIZ--

Subject: Request to Execute the Interlocal Agreement for the Palm Beach
Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO)
Dear Mayor Glickstein:
The Palm Beach MPO Board is currently comprised of nineteen (19) elected officials in
Palm Beach County and was most recently established through Interlocal Agreement
signed in October 2004 by all jurisdictions that are represented on the MPO Board. In
2014, the Florida Legislature amended § 339.175(3), F.S. to increase the maximum
number of apportioned members from nineteen (19) to twenty-five (25).
At the July 17, 2014 MPO Board Meeting, the Palm Beach MPO approved the addition
of two (2) members for a total of twenty-one (21) members. The membership changes
include the addition of the Village of Palm Springs as a new member and permanent
seats for the City of Greenacres and the Village of Royal Palm Beach (they currently
rotate a seat on an annual basis).
The enclosed Interlocal Agreement implements this membership change and was
drafted by the Florida Department of Transportation to meet Federal and State
requirements. Also enclosed is a sample resolution authorizing execution of the
Agreement. We are asking you to schedule the execution of this Interlocal
Agreement at your earliest convenience and return an executed copy to the MPO
at the above address. After the Agreement is fully executed by all parties, copies will
be distributed.
Our target date for full execution of the Agreement is September 30, 2015. If you have
any questions, please contact Elizabeth Requeny at (561) 684-4170 or
erequeny@palmbeachmpo.org.
Sincerely,
Nick Uhren, P.E.
