Summary:
This agreement provides for the transfer of jurisdiction and associated maintenance responsibilities for the above County roadway segments to the Town upon official filing with the Clerk of the Circuit Court.
Background Information:
The Department of Public Works has been partnering with local municipalities to better define right-of-way maintenance responsibilities in areas where jurisdictional boundaries are shared. The attached roadway agreement serves to transfer jurisdictional responsibility for the designated public road segment that is within, or partially within, the Town’s municipal limits. Both the County and the Town agree that it is in the best interest of the parties that responsibilities associated with the operation, maintenance, planning, design, and construction of the identified road segment, along with any future improvements thereto, be transferred to the Town.
The Town accepts all legal rights of the roadway segment that is within, and appurtenant to, the rights-of-way being transferred. The Town agrees to allow the County, through a permanent permit, to utilize rights-of-way associated with the transferred roadway segment for County owned utilities.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no cost to the County for entering into this agreement with the Town; however, an overall reduction to future maintenance costs will be realized.
