BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: December 3, 2013
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: John Hofstad
SUBJECT: Cooperation Agreement with the Holt Volunteer Fire Department
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
BCC DISTRICT: 3
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Requesting approval to enter into a Cooperation Agreement with
the Holt Volunteer Fire Department for a portion of 2.98 acres of property for the construction of
a new park in Holt.
BACKGROUND: In August 2012, a letter from the Holt Volunteer Fire Department was
received. The letter requested discussions to begin concerning the development of a recreational
park/community center in Holt.
The Fire Department owns 2.98 acres on the south side of Highway 90, east of Sumertime Lane.
The Fire Department has agreed to have a portion of the property converted into a park with a
community center while retaining a portion for a new Fire House at a later date.
An agreement has been crafted which outlines the duties and responsibilities for both the Fire
Department and the County. The proposal has been presented to the Parks Advisory Committee
(PAC) with no objections. Funds have been budgeted in the FY14 Parks Budget for this
particular project. To date, no plans have been developed or submitted for this project. If
approved, the property will be surveyed and a proposed layout will be submitted to the PAC and
Holt Volunteer Fire Department before any construction commences.
OPTIONS: Approve/disapprove the Cooperation Agreement.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff requests Board approval of the Cooperation Agreement with
Holt Volunteer Fire Department and subsequent approval for the Chairman to sign the
agreement.
