RESOLUTION NO. 3, SERIES 2001 - A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE CITY OF LOUISVILLE, CITY OF LAFAYETTE, CITY OF BROOMFIELD, COUNTY OF BOULDER AND NORTHWEST PARKWAY AUTHORITY Davidson called for Staff presentation. City Administrator Bill Simmons stated that Resolution No. 3, Series 2001 approves the Intergovernmental Agreement among the City of Louisville, City of Lafayette, City of Broomfield, County of Boulder and Northwest Parkway Authority. Simmons noted that the Agreement would allow the Northwest Parkway right-of-way to shift north of its currently approved alignment, and also permit drainage and temporary construction easements, which are outside of the standard 300-foot right-of-way width. Additionally, the Agreement calls for $36 million (originally $22 million) from initial Parkway financing proceeds as well as other Authority revenue (future revenue from tolls). $12 million in improvements would be required or used to accomplish the Hwy 42/96th Street connection. Louisville has the option of using the Northwest Parkway Authority contractor for the project or receiving project construction funds. Simmons stated that the Agreement further states that an additional $10 million will be made available to the participants from Authority revenues on or before December 31, 2008 for acquisition of permanent open space or conservation easements within the plan area. Of this $10 million, Louisville, Broomfield and Boulder County will each receive $3 million. These funds may be also used for reimbursement of expenditures made by any of the parties for previously acquired open space. This money is in addition to the $10 million committed by the Authority from initial Parkway financing proceeds. Simmons circulated copies of the final copy of the Northwest Parkway Agreement.
