RESOLUTION NO. 47-93/METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION
INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT
DATE: September 24, 1993
This is a resolution authorizing the execution of an interlocal
agreement by and between local member entities and the Florida
Department of Transportation for the purpose of creating and
establishing a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the West
Palm Beach Urban Study Area.
This action is as a result of the Governor's reapportionment of
membership on the MPO based upon the results of the Census and the
Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act.
The purpose of the interlocal agreement is to assure eligibility for
the receipt of Federal capital and operating assistance and to
implement and ensure a continuing, cooperative, and comprehensive
transportation planning process.
Recommend approval of Resolution No. 47-93 and approval of the
interlocal agreement which establishes a Metropolitan Planning
Organization for the West Palm Beach Urban Study Area.

TO: David Harden, City Manager
FROM: Susan A. Ruby, City Attorney
SUBJECT: MPO Interlocal Aqreement
Attached please find a copy of the newly revised MPO Interlocal
Agreement. I believe the Agreement is acceptable as to legal
sufficiency at the current time.
Paragraph 13 contains an indemnification clause, however, it is
limited to the extent permitted by law. I have talked with the
County Attorney regarding the indemnification in light of
Florida Statute Section 768.2817, which you may recall states
that a contract may not contain any provision that requires one
party to indemnify or insure the other party for the other
party's negligence or to assume any liability for the other
party's negligence. The language, as drafted, does not require
the MPO to indemnify the department or any of the departments
liability, but only talks about the MPO's liability and, thus,
I believe it avoids the dictates of the new law. The addition,
if the "extent provided by law" language, should be sufficient
to protect us, should the matter arise in the future and we
need to argue otherwise. I have talked with the attorney for
DOT, Karen Camron, who is not willing to change the Agreement
as written. Therefore, it is appropriate that this Agreement
and draft resolution be placed on the City Commission agenda
for approval.

hereinafter called the Department, and creates and establishes, a
METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION for the West Palm Beach Urban Study Area,
hereinafter called the MPO;
WITNESSETH
WHEREAS, the parties to this Interlocal Agreement desire to participate
cooperatively in the performance, on a continuing basis, of a coordinated,
comprehensive transportation planning process to assure that highway
facilities, mass transit, rail systems, air transportation and other
facilities will be properly located and developed in relation to the overall
plan of community development; and
WHEREAS, the Federal Government, under the authority of 23 U.S.C. 134
and Section 3(a) (2), 4(a), 5(g) (1), and 5(h) (1) of the Federal Transit Act
[(49 U.S.C. 1602(a) (2), 1603(a) and 1604(g) (1) and (h) (1)], requires that
each urbanized area, as a condition to the receipt of federal capital or
operating assistance, have a continuing, cooperative, and comprehensive
transportation planning process that results in plans and programs consistent
with the comprehensively planned development of the urbanized area, and
stipulates that the State and the MPO shall enter into an agreement clearly
identifying the responsibilities for cooperatively carrying out such
transportation planning; and
WHEREAS, Regulations of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and
the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), 23 CFR 450 (hereinafter called the
Rules), provide for the designation of MPOs by the Governor; and
WHEREAS, Section 339.175 of the Florida Statutes provides for the
creation, designation and apportionment of the MPOs consistent with the

Federal Transit Act [(49 U.S.C. 1602(a) (2), 1603(a), and 1604(g) (1) and

comprehensive transportation planning process that results in
coordinated plans and programs consistent with the comprehensively
planned development of the affected urbanized area in cooperation with
the Department.
Chapter 334, Florida Statutes (F.S.), grants the broad authority for the

transportation plan, in conjunction with local governmental entities
including, but not limited to, regional planning agencies for all
Metropolitan Statistical Areas. Section 339.175, F.S., specifies the
authority and responsibility of the MPO and the Department in the
management of a continuing, cooperative, and comprehensive
transportation planning process for the urbanized area.
In fulfillment of this purpose and in the exercise of the various powers
granted by Chapters 334 and 339, F.S., the Department and all parties to
this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of Section 163.3161 -
163.3215, F.S., the Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land
Development Regulation Act, as amended, are applicable to this Agreement
and those parties shall take particular care that the planning processes

evidenced by the legislative intent expressed in Chapter 334 and 339,
F.S., shall not be infringed upon.

Dear Mr. Harden:
Due to the Census and the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act, the
Governor has reapportioned membership on the MPO. The MPO is formed under
Chapter 163, F.S., using an interlocal agreement. Each member organization is
a signatory to the Agreement.
The staff has previously transmitted an agreement from the Department of
Transportation for review and authorization to enter into the agreement. During
the process, it was found recent state legislation modified some references in
the agreement and changed some of the specific language. The decision was made
to change the agreement now rather than in the near future. A revised agreement
was recently completed by legal counsel from FDOT and the County and is enclosed.
The content of the revised agreement is essentially unchanged.
If you have previously authorized execution of the agreement, please review this
version and indicate your approval. When all approvals have been received, the
MPO staff will arrange a time to execute fifteen original copies of the
interlocal agreement. A fully executed copy will be provided to each party.
We apologize for the delay and any confusion. If you have any questions, please
contact me.
Sincerely,

DATE: May 13, 1993
SUBJECT: ~ Interl~al A~r~nt ~d Draft Resolution
I have reviewed the draft resolution and the MPO Interlocal Agreement
and make the following comments:
1. The indemnification clause in paragraph 13.00 requires the MPO to
indemnify not only the Department but third parties. Section 10,
Article 7 of the State Constitution prohibits governmental entities from
pledging their credit to indemnify third parties. The language that is
written appears to require the MPO to not only indemnify the Department
and its officers, agents and employees, but also any person or property
to which the Department or said parties may be subject. The only
exemption to the indemnification is the sole negligence of the
Department, its officers, agents and employees.
2. The Interlocal Agreement states in paragraph 5.01 that the MPO
shall have all powers as set forth in Section 339.175(2)(b), Florida
Statutes, and other sections and as authorized in Section 163.01,
Florida Statutes, which is made a part hereof. Section 163.01 sets
forth the Florida Interlocal Cooperation Act which requires in
subsection 11 that prior to the effectiveness of an interlocal agreement
the interlocal agreement and subsequent amendments shall be filed with
the clerk of the circuit court of each county where a party to the
agreement is located. This agreement does not contain this provision
and it would be my recommendation that it should.
3. Also it should be noted that under paragraph 5.00 et seq., that
not only the items listed here would be conferred powers on the MPO.
Florida Statutes 163.01 et seq. also permits bond anticipation notes and
eminent domain among other powers.
4. Another paragraph to review is paragraph 11 which permits an
entity to withdraw with 90 days notice but requires that financial
commitments made prior to withdrawal are effective and binding for their

full term and amount regardless of withdrawal. This financial
commitment should be reviewed prior to entering into this agreement.

Delray Beach, Florida 33444
RE: MPO Interlocal Agreement
Dear Mayor Lynch:
The Governor has given approval to the proposed membership plan for the
Metropolitan Planning Organization of Palm Beach County. This Plan includes the
addition of MPO members from the City of Belle Glade and the Port of Palm Beach
to the current membership.
The MPO is created through execution of an interlocal agreement between the local
member entities and the Florida Department of Transportation. The staff recently
received the suggested language for this agreement from the DOT. Enclosed is a
copy of the proposed agreement.
Each member agency must approve a resolution authorizing execution of the
interlocal agreement. When these resolutions have been received from all parties
to the agreement, a set of master original copies will be executed and filed with
the Clerk of Courts. Following this action, an organizational meeting of the MPO
will be held to include the new members and conclude the transition to the
expanded MPO. The staff is hoping to hold this meeting in June.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
Sincerely,
Randy M. Whitfield, P.E.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, an agency of the State of Florida, hereinafter
called the Department, and creates and establishes, a METROPOLITAN PLANNING
ORGANIZATION for the West Palm Beach Urban Study Area, hereinafter called the
MPO;
WHEREAS, the parties to this Interlocal Agreement desire to participate
cooperatively in the performance, on a continuing basis, of a coordinated,
comprehensive transportation planning process to assure that highway
facilities, mass transit, rail systems, air transportation and other
facilities will be properly located and developed in relation to the overall
plan of community development; and
WHEREAS, the Federal Government, under the authority Of 23 U.S.C. 134
and Section 3(a) (2), 4(a), 5(g)(1), and 5(h) (1) of the Federal Transit Act
[(49 U.S.C. 1602(a) (2), 1603(a) and 1604(g) (1) and (h) (1)], requires that
each urbanized area, as a condition to the receipt of federal capital or
operating assistance, have a continuing, cooperative, and comprehensive
transportation planning process that results in plans and programs consistent
with the comprehensively planned development of the urbanized area, and
stipulates that the State and the MPO shall enter into an agreement clearly
identifying the responsibilities for cooperatively carrying out such
transportation planning; and
WHEREAS, Regulations of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and
the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), 23 CFR 450 (hereinafter called the
Rules), provide for the designation of MPOs by the Governor; and
WHEREAS, Chapter 339.175 of the Florida Statutes provides for the
creation, designation and apportionment of the MPOs consistent with the
federal laws and rules identified above.

1.00 PURPOSE
The purpose of this Interlocal Agreement is to assure eligibility for
the receipt of Federal capital and operating assistance pursuant to 23
U.S.C. 134 and Sections 3(a) (2), 4(a) , 5(g) (1) , and 5(h) (1) of the
Federal Transit Act [(49 U.S.C. 1602(a) (2), 1603(a), and 1604(g) (1) and
(h) (1)], and to implement and ensure a continuing, cooperative, and
comprehensive transportation planning process that results
in coordinated plans and programs consistent with the comprehensively
planned development of the affected urbanized area in cooperation with
the Department.
Chapter 334, Florida Statutes (F.S.), grants the broad authority for the
Department's role in transportation. Section 334.044, F.S., evidences
the legislative intent that the Department be responsible for
coordinating the planning of a safe, viable and balanced state
transportation system serving all regions of the State. Section
339.155, F.S., requires the Department to develop a statewide
transportation plan, in conjunction with local governmental entities
including, but not limited to, regional planning agencies for all
Metropolitan Statistical Areas. Section 339.175, F.S., specifies the
authority and responsibility of the MPO and the Department in the
management of a continuing, cooperative, and comprehensive
transportation planning process for the urbanized area.
In fulfillment of this purpose and in the exercise of the various powers
granted by Chapters 334 and 339, F.S., the Department and all parties to
this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of Section 163.3161 -
163.3215, F.S., the Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land
Development Regulation Act, as amended, are applicable to this Agreement
and those parties shall take particular care that the planning processes
and planning integrity of local governments as set forth in that Act as

F.S., shall not be infringed upon.
