Dodge County, Fremont agree to split costs for new turn lane at Broad Street and Judy Avenue
Summary
The Dodge County Board unanimously approved an interlocal agreement with the City of Fremont to build a turn lane tied to a proposed event center; the developer will pay $50,000 and the city will contribute either 50% of remaining county-incurred costs or $150,000, with Dodge County managing the project.
The Dodge County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved an Interlocal Cooperation Agreement with the City of Fremont on April 16 to construct a turn lane at the intersection of Broad Street and Judy Avenue to accommodate a proposed event center on North Somers Avenue.
Under the agreement, the developer will contribute $50,000 toward construction. The City of Fremont will contribute either 50% of the remaining construction costs incurred by Dodge County or $150,000 toward those remaining costs, whichever is less. Dodge County will manage the project because the intersection lies in county jurisdiction.
Chairman Missel told the Board that “Dodge County is collaborating with the City of Fremont on this project,” and county officials said they do not feel Dodge County should bear all construction costs because the event center will benefit both jurisdictions.
The Board authorized the necessary signatures on the interlocal agreement and recorded the cost-sharing terms and project-management responsibilities. The schedule for design, bidding and construction or the total estimated project cost were not specified in the minutes.
Next steps noted in the meeting: Dodge County will manage the project under the terms approved; additional project details including exact construction schedule and final cost allocations were not provided at this session.
