WHEREAS, a serious drainage problem exists along N.W. 1st Street between
Congress Avenue and N.W. 18th Avenue in the City of Delray Beach, Florida; and,
WHEREAS, the flooding caused by the drainage problem in this area adversely
affects property in both the City of Delray Beach and Palm Beach County, Florida, as
well as interfering with and hindering both pedestrian and vehicular traffic in this area
along both City and County public rights-of-way; and,
WHEREAS, the City of Delray Beach did request that a permanent solution to
this severe drainage problem be included in the 1983-84 fiscal year budget for Palm
Beach County, but same was not included in the County's budget, although there has
been discussion of including this project in the Congress Avenue widening project now
scheduled for the year 1985-86; and,
WHEREAS, the seriousness of the drainage problem dictates that an immediate,
although temporary attempt to solve the problem be made, being the installation of a 12"
drainage pipe from the subject area, across Congress Avenue through to the E-4 Canal,
at- an estimated cost of $20,000.00; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Delray Beach, Florida, believes
that because of the benefits which will accrue to both the City and County residents as
a result of this interim solution, that financial participation of at least one-third of the
total cost of the project by Palm Beach County is necessary and proper.

OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, AS FOLLOWS:

Beach, Florida.
