Subject: Resolution Authorizing an Amended and Restated Interlocal Agreement between the
City of Miami Beach and Miami-Dade County Relating to the Provision of Library
Services
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners (Board) authorize the County Mayor or County
Mayor's designee to execute the attached Amended and Restated Interlocal Agreement (Attachment 1) between
Miami-Dade County(County) and the City of Miami Beach(City)related to the provision of library services by
the County to the City. The primary purpose of this amendment is to incorporate the terms and conditions
related to future relocation of the existing North Shore Library, located at 7501 Collins Avenue, to the soon-to-
be constructed 72nd Street Community Complex Project, which is being planned by the City to include a new
North Shore Library. This Amended and Restated Interlocal Agreement also serves to remove provisions that
are no longer applicable and/or update various terms and conditions from the original 1986 transfer of the City's
libraries (Miami Beach Regional,North Shore Branch, and South Shore Branch) to the County, as described in
the Background section of this memorandum. This Amended and Restated Interlocal Agreement was considered
and approved by the City of Miami Beach at their September 16, 2020 Commission meeting via City Resolution
2020-31386(Attachment 2).
Scone
Both the existing North Shore Library and the new North Shore Library are located in County Commission
District 4, which is represented by County Commissioner Sally A. Heyman. The South Shore Library and
Miami Beach Regional Library are located in County Commission District 5, which is represented by County
Commissioner Eileen Higgins.
Fiscal Impact/Fundin2 Source
The cost for design and construction of the new North Shore Library is to be funded from the City's recently
approved 2018 General Obligation Bond program for the 72°d Street Community Complex Project. The County
will be responsible for the costs of furniture,fixtures,and equipment(FFE)that are purchased by the County for
the new library, which is estimated to be approximately $253,000 funded by existing Building Better
Communities General Obligation Bond funding designated for the existing North Shore Library. As the new
library will be a part of a multi-use, multi-tenant facility, the County will also be responsible for its pro rata
common area maintenance costs in the new library.
All of the existing financial terms between the County and City will continue for all three City libraries,
including the City's ongoing participation in the Miami-Dade Library Taxing District,the County's nominal($1
per year) lease payment to the City for use of the City-owned libraries, and, specific to the South Shore Library
location, the County's obligations to continue its responsibility for the payment of condominium fees and
assessments.

Track Record/Monitor
There are no known issues with the City. This Interlocal Agreement, as well as the construction of the new
North Shore Library will be monitored by Leo Gomez, Assistant Director, and Alice Arguelles, Construction
Manager,Miami-Dade Public Library System(MDPLS).
Background
On June 20, 1986, the County and the City entered into an Interlocal Agreement related to the County's
provision of library services within the City, approved via County Resolution No. R-1003-86 and City
Resolution No. 86-18488. Pursuant to that Interlocal Agreement, the City transferred its library buildings and
operational responsibility to the County, merging with the Miami-Dade Public Library System. Accordingly,
that Interlocal Agreement provided for the County to use and lease the City's existing library facilities, hire the
City's library employees, and be directly responsible for the provision of library services for the City's residents.
On December 7, 2005,the First Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement was adopted by County Resolution No.
R-82-06 and City Resolution No. 2005-26060) defining responsibilities for the relocation of services to the then
newly-constructed Miami Beach Regional Library at 227 22 Street and the new South Shore Library location at
131 Alton Road, Unit CU-2 (South Shore Branch), provided for the possible inclusion of a police substation
within the Miami Beach Regional Library, and clarified the definition of maintenance fees to include payments
by the County of condominium fees at the South Shore Branch.
The County has continued to provide library services and pay for the operational and maintenance costs within
the City at the three City locations(Miami Beach Regional, South Shore,and North Shore). Under the terms and
conditions of the existing Interlocal Agreement, the City has the right to relocate any existing City library
facility,provided that the City pays for the costs of the relocation, and further provided that the new location is
approved by the County.
As a result of the voter-approved 2018 City General Obligation Bond,the City is proceeding with the design and
construction of the 72nd Street Community Complex Project (Project), to be located at 299 72 Street, Miami
Beach, Florida. The City anticipates that the Project will include various programmatic elements, including a
500-space parking structure, a 50-meter competition pool with support amenities, a 25-meter multi-purpose
pool, a 5,000-square foot commercial/retail area, a 7,500-square foot fitness center, a 5,000-square foot
community center, a hardened fire and police operations room, 60,000- square foot of active green space, a
jogging path,and, a new, larger 7,500-square foot library to replace the existing North Shore Library.
The County began working with the City on the planning and programmatic elements for the new Library and
its inclusion as part of the Project leading up to, and after, approval of the City's General Obligation Bond. This
Amended and Restated Interlocal Agreement incorporates the necessary changes, terms and conditions to
memorialize the mutual desires of the City and the County to ultimately relocate the North Shore Library to the
Project, and includes the proposed design and programmatic elements for the new library, the process for the
County's final approval of the design and programmatic elements, the County's involvement in its design and
construction, and the timing for the relocation to the new library (estimated to be either in 2023 or 2024) upon
completion of the Project.
Among other terms addressed, the Amended and Restated Interlocal Agreement clarifies the terms relating to
the Miami Beach Police Department's use of Conference Room 202A at the Miami Beach Regional Library as a
police sub-station; clarifies terms relating to the parking spaces the City provides to County library staff working
at the three library locations within the City; and clarifies terms with regard to the termination of the Agreement
3
Honorable Chairwoman Audrey M. Edmonson
and Members,Board of County Commissioners
Page No. 3
to provide a more equitable arrangement for reimbursing the County for the value of unamortized permanent
improvements completed by the County, solely in the event of the City's termination of the Interlocal
Agreement.
The timing for approval of the Interlocal Agreement is critical for the City, as it will permit the City to provide
preliminary design and budget guidance as part of the City's ongoing Request for Proposals process for the
Design/Builder for the Project.
Approval of this item is recommended as the existing North Shore Library is in a 1970's-era building that is in
need of significant capital repairs and improvements. The relocation to a brand new and larger library facility
located in a multi-use project with multiple other public amenities will be beneficial to the City and the County
in better providing services to the public and will further the County's ongoing capital plan for improvement of
our library facilities.

taken by eminent domain, the City shall have the option of applying the funds received as
a result of such proceedings to the acquisition or construction of a comparable library
facility on a site which shall be approved by the County Director of Libraries. Such
comparable library facility shall thereupon be deemed a part of the Leased Premises as if

assessments, and any other fees charged by the Association.
13. Substituted Services: The County shall have the option to discontinue the
use of one or more of the premises or services described elsewhere in this Agreement;
however, the discontinuance of use of the buildings or premises for library purposes shall

property or properties involved, as described in paragraph 1, shall immediately revert to
the City.
14. Assignment: The County shall not assign this Agreement, nor sublet, nor

be subject to the reasonable approval of the City Manager. The County shall assume full
responsibility for Tenant/Operator's use of the concession area/courtyard and shall be

16. Cancellation:
(a) In the event of cancellation by the County, the City shall retain the
Leased Premises and all fixed improvements and additions thereto; the County shall retain
and remove all furniture, equipment and materials that it owns, including, but not limited to
books and related items from the library's collection provided by the County during the
period of this Agreement.
(b) In the event of cancellation by the City, the City shall reimburse the
County for the value of all fixed or permanent improvements made by the County to the
Leased Premises. Such property which the County may acquire from the City at no cost or
nominal cost, the County shall convey to the City at the same nominal cost. The value of
the fixed improvements made by the County to the Leased Premises (the Library
Improvements) to be reimbursed by the City to the County, shall be determined by
Page 5 of 12
9
agreement of the parties hereto, based on a straight line amortization over the useful life
of the fixed/permanent improvements. By way of example, if the County's cost of the
Library Improvements was $30,000, and the useful life is ten (10) years, if the City cancels
this Agreement at the end of the third year following County's installation of the Library
Improvements, then the City shall reimburse the County the amount of $21,000 ($30,000
divided by 10 years equals $3,000 per year; $3,000 times seven (7) years remaining useful
life equals $21 ,000). If such agreement cannot be reached, then such value shall be
determined by appraisal. The value of such Library Improvements shall be determined,
based upon the method above, as follows:
(i) Each party shall appoint one (1) qualified MAI building
appraiser, and the value to be paid by the City to the County shall be the average of the
two appraisals on the Library improvements and the average of the two MAI building
appraisals, provided the difference of the appraisals shall be within ten percent (10%) of
the highest appraisal.
(ii) If the appraisals are not within ten percent (10%) of the highest
appraisal, then said appraisers as appointed by the two governing bodies shall jointly meet
and shall each appoint a third appraiser and the average of the two (2) closest appraisals
shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto.
Upon the expiration of the one hundred eighty (180) days' notice of cancellation of this
Agreement, as further described in paragraph 2, and upon ascertainment of the value of
the improvements to the property to be reimbursed to the County by the City, the City shall
pay to the County the total amount due to Miami-Dade County.
17. Miami-Dade Public Library Advisory Board: It is understood and agreed
that the City Manager's rights, pursuant to County Ordinance 86-65, to recommend two
membership positions to the Miami-Dade Public Library Advisory Board continues in effect.
18. Terms Related to the New Library and Existing North Shore Branch
Library Relocation:
(a) City's 72nd Street Community Complex Project. The City shall be
solely responsible for the development, design and construction of the 72nd Street
Community Complex Project (the "Project"), at its sole cost and expense. The Project site

multi-purpose pool, a 5,000 SF commercial/retail area, a 7,500 SF fitness center, a 5,000
SF community center, a hardened fire and police operations room, 60,000 SF of active
green space, a jogging path, and subject to the terms herein, a New Library (as described

approved, and the City shall proceed to obtain final bidding for the Project based on such
Final Design.
Page 7 of 12

Final Design, as provided herein. Once the Final Design is approved, should County desire
modifications to the Program Scope or Library Specifications, the City shall obtain the
contractor's change order proposal for all labor, materials and other costs related to such
scope changes, provided that the County shall be solely responsible for the incremental
costs thereof. If the City requires modifications to the Project that reduce or impact the
Program Scope or Library Specifications, then in such event, any such modification shall
require County's approval, provided that such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(c) County's Responsibility for Library Contents.

(e) Relocation Notice/Surrender of Existing North Shore Branch Library
Premises. As the Project approaches completion, the City shall provide County with 180
days prior written notice to relocate to the New Library (the "Relocation Notice"). Subject

herein, at the conclusion of the 180 day notice period provided in the Relocation Notice,
the County shall vacate, quit and surrender the Existing North Shore Branch Library
premises to the City, broom clean, and in good order and condition (excepting ordinary

(i) Within thirty (30) days following the County's receipt of the
Relocation Notice, the County shall provide the City with its estimated budget for relocation
costs. The form of the budget, with all of the relevant line items, is attached hereto as
Exhibit "C," and shall include all of County's estimated costs for load-in, load-out,

Introduction
The Miami-Dade Public Library System (MDPLS) provides this general guidance document for
Proposer's to consider and include as part of their project approach in the design and construction
of the library space being contemplated as part of this Request for Proposals document.
MDPLS seeks to ensure that Proposer's closely review this document, and, work closely with
MDPLS throughout the design and construction process to ensure that the resulting product is a
library that establishes new benchmarks in 21st century innovative library design, architecture, and
use of space and technology. Our design vision seeks to abandon preconceived notions of a
traditional library, instead focusing on today's library user and the library user of the future, including
flexible use of spaces, a focus on comfort and privacy, and availability of interactive and immersive
technology, all while allowing the library to continue to serve its role as a community space that is
flexible and can accommodate a wide range of different types of programs and events, activities,
and public meetings for people and organizations across a broad demographic of ages,
backgrounds, and interests. MDPLS's mission of promoting literacy and learning requires that
library locations are a community destination that instill civic pride and that showcase MDPLS's
role as a leader in both library design and civic innovation.
In the design and planning of a new library location, it is important to consider the demographics
and needs of the immediate surrounding community, but, also, to recognize that Miami-Dade Public
Library locations are part of a large network of libraries throughout Miami-Dade County, all of which
demand a level of consistency in service levels to ensure access for residents from throughout the
County.
Guiding Principles
Inspired planning, design and programming would include:
• A library space that is highly visible to the public and accessible within and outside the
proposed development
• Welcoming spaces
• Flexible layout that allows for a wide range of uses
• Access to cutting-edge programming, services and technology
• Inviting, natural light-filled open spaces that are functional and safe
• High performance, multi-functional, and energy efficient design
• Gathering spaces that are comfortable, aesthetically pleasing, and that attract community
members of all ages
• Intuitive and inviting circulation centers and wayfinding paths
21 Page
18
• Connections to outdoor or adjacent spaces such as patio's, beverage and/or food amenities,
and/or garden seating spaces that enhance foot traffic to the library
• Common areas with sufficient free access to parking for library staff whose primary job
functions reside in the new library
Overview: Facility Planning Program
A branch of the Miami Dade Public Library System is expected to embrace outstanding
architecture/design and to be a desired destination where residents can find a sense of belonging
and community. While the design process will ultimately drive the most logical and preferred layout
for any library branch, the following types of space uses will be needed within the proposed space:
• Collection space (for display and browsing of library materials)
• Digital Technology/Innovation Lab (multi-media center, hands-on technology training)
• Public co-working space
• Young Adults & Children's browsing and activities area
• Public computer workstations
• Lounge, study, and reading areas
• Customer service point(s)
• Staff work areas as well as public and staff bathrooms
• Meeting space (multi-purpose room and/or meeting/study rooms)
• Special use spaces/adjacencies (Cafe, Outdoor Reading Area, and Courtyard)
• Non-assignable space (including mechanical space, data closet, etc.)
The design should focus on creating a destination that encourages creativity, literacy, digital
learning and technology, and recreation.
• In a multi-use facility such as is being proposed, a public library will be a significant source
of foot traffic and its success as a library location will rely heavily on being located on the
ground floor level in a highly visible and high traffic area that facilitates easy access for the
public.
• The architecture should be inviting and informal, being able to connect with the
general public in whole. The library space should be fluid and dynamic spatially, and
respond to the natural setting of its environment.
• The library should either include its own large meeting room and/or
have access to a shared public multi-purpose room that allows for the
many library programs, events, and activities that are enjoyed by the
public to occur as and when needed.
• The Young Adult's and Children's areas should occupy prominent locations in the space
that allows for easy access as well as some degree of separation from adult areas for safety
and for some level of semi-privacy for young adult's and children's activities.
3JPage
19
L/\1 IIIJI i i
• The floor plan should be fluid, with abundant natural light serving reading rooms and any
adjacent areas or connections to the exterior project. Visitors should have easy visual
connection to major spaces (Meeting Room/Children's Lounge/Main Reading
Room/Innovation Center) from the entrance and to the main service point(s). The service
point(s) should be carefully located as part of facility wayfinding and ingress/egress
considerations to ensure library staff is able to serve the public effectively and to perform
daily tasks.
• The Multi-Purpose Community Meeting Room, if space allows, should be strategically
placed to activate the use of both interior and exterior spaces, recognizing the synergies
created between these spaces, use of the library, and the desire for any exterior areas to
serve as a central gathering spot for library users and non-users during and after hours of
operation.
The following activity needs, room spaces and programmatic functions are suggested as a
point of discussion for an 7,500 square foot library and should be used as a guide in the
planning, design and layout of the facility.
Entrance Lobby /Guest Services (575sf)

More Detailed Description of Spaces
The following is a more detailed description of desired programmatic spaces and
suggested sizes based on the square footage available. It is recommended that these
spaces, sizes and potential locations should be used as a guide in planning discussions
Entrance Lobby/Guest Services (575sf)
Ideally, the Customer Service Desk should be upfront and visible from the main entrance. It
serves as the primary service point for the branch. Additionally, in a limited sized floor plan
such as is being proposed, back of house space, such as staff areas, staff lounge,

APPENDIX A —CIP-ESP Protocols
CIP-ESP National Network Protocols for Providing Replicated Support and Value:
The CIP-ESP program is designed to offer end-users seamless installation coverage on a
national basis. End-users with multiple locations have traditionally had the burden of
managing each and every location as unique, one-time projects. This is largely because
channel partners have often placed the burden on the customer. There are very few national
contractors; distributors operate as individual locations; and manufacturers pay their sales
people on point of sale, which has the unwanted effect of making the local sales person
unresponsive to the national needs of a customer.
The Legrand ESP program addresses every one of these issues by offering solutions
created to enhance the value of all three components of the channel. For national installation
coverage, the CIP-ESP network addresses national opportunities by coordinating a team of
the best contractors in the industry, dedicated to the replication of the customer's standard
design and product choice. The network offers the customer value by reducing project
management responsibilities, improving on-time completion of installations, simultaneously
providing multiple installations to multiple regions, and providing the value that comes from
having all locations standardized and protected by the nCompass warranty. In order for the
CIP-ESP network to be able to meet these goals, certain protocols must be followed and
supported. These protocols have been created with one thing in mind: the members of the
network understand that these protocols are in place to provide better support for the end-
users' needs, and by working as team, are able to follow the customer's standards and
specifications and operate as one entity, in a coordinated fashion.
Every member of the CIP-ESP network must commit to the following list of protocols:
✓ Precisely replicate the customer's standard design, product choices and
communication protocols
✓ Work closely with the distributor of choice in order to minimize lead time issues and
to work seamlessly with the customer's logistics partner
✓ Handle all channel disputes internally and never put the end-user in the middle of
channel conflict
✓ Constantly search for improved process opportunities. Fully understand the value of
the ESP program in order to serve as an extension of the Legrand sales team.
✓ Strictly adhere to all physical layer principles and installation guidelines to ensure
maximum performance, protection, space usage and power and thermal
management efficiencies.

COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager
DATE: September 16, 2020
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA,
APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND CITY CLERK TO EXECUTE AN AMENDED AND RESTATED
INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH (THE CITY) AND MIAMI-DADE COUNTY,
FLORIDA(THE "COUNTY") RELATING TO THE OPERATION OF THE COUNTY'S THREE (3) LIBRARY FACILITIES
WITHIN THE CITY; WITH SUCH AGREEMENT PROVIDING, AMONG OTHER TERMS, FOR THE RELOCATION OF
THE NORTH SHORE BRANCH LIBRARY AT 7501 COLLINS AVENUE UPON COMPLETION OF THE NEW LIBRARY
FACILITY PROPOSED TO BE CONSTRUCTED AT 299 72ND STREET, AS PART OF THE 72ND STREET
COMMUNITY COMPLEX PROJECT.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
On June 20, 1986, Miami-Dade County (the "County") and the City of Miami Beach entered into an Interlocal Agreement related to
the County's provision of library services within the City, approved via County Resolution No. R-1003-86 and City Resolution No.
86-18488 (Exhibit A). Pursuant to the Interlocal Agreement, the Miami Beach Public Library and its two branches, which until then
had been operated by the City, became part of the Miami-Dade Public Library System. Accordingly, the Interlocal Agreement
provided for the County to use and lease the City's existing library facilities, hire the City's library employees, and be directly
responsible for the provision of library services for the City's residents.
On December 7, 2005, the First Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement adopted by County Resolution No. R-82-06 and City
Resolution No.2005-26060 (Exhibit B), defines responsibilities for the relocation of services to the new regional library at 227 22nd
Street and the new South Shore Reading Room at 131 Alton Road, Unit CU-2 ("South Shore Branch"), establishes a police
substation at the new regional library, and clarifies the definition of maintenance fees to include payments by the County of
condominium fees at the South Shore Branch.
On September 30, 2013, the Second Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement was adopted, by County Resolution No. R-102-14
and City Resolution No. 2013-28371 (Exhibit C), relating to the South Shore Branch.
Currently, under the existing Interlocal Agreement, as amended, the County provides library services within the City at three
locations:
1. The Miami Beach Regional Library, 227 22nd Street;
2.The North Shore Branch Library, 7501 Collins Avenue; and
3. South Shore Branch Library, 131 Alton Road, Unit CU-2.
The existing Interlocal Agreement provides the City with the right to relocate any existing library facility, provided that the City pays
for the costs of the relocation, and further provided that the new location is approved by the County.
ANALYSIS
As a result of the voter-approved 2018 General Obligation Bond, the City is proceeding with the design and construction of the
72nd Street Community Complex Project, to be located at 299 72nd Street, Miami Beach, Florida, which is currently a municipal
surface parking lot. The Administration anticipates that the Project will include various programmatic elements, including:
•A 500 space parking structure;
•A 50-meter competition pool with support amenities;
•A 25-meter multi-purpose pool;
•A 5,000 sq.ft.commercial/retail area;
•A 7,500 sq.ft.fitness center;
•A 5,000 sq.ft.community center;
•A hardened fire and police operations room;
•A 60,000 SF of active green space;
•A jogging path: and
• Subject to the terms of the proposed Amended and Restated Interlocal Agreement with the County, a new library to replace the
existing North Shore Branch at 7501 Collins Avenue ("New Library").
The final programmatic elements for the Project are subject to funding availability, design discussions with the to-be-selected
Design/Builder,and approval by the City Mayor and City Commission.
https://miamibeach.novusagenda.com/agendapublic/CoverSheet.aspx?ItemID74846&MeetinglD=773 1/3
City staff has been working with the County on the planning and programmatic elements for the New Library and its inclusion as
part of the 72nd Street Community Complex Project, in an effort to secure the County's approval for the relocation, as required in
accordance with the existing Interlocal Agreement. To this end, subject to approval by the City Commission and Board of County
Commissioners, respectively, both the City Administration and County staff desire to memorialize their mutual agreement with
respect to:
(1)the design and programmatic elements for the New Library, and the process for the County's final approval thereof; and
(2) the framework and timing for the relocation of the North Shore Branch Library (which the City anticipates will take place upon
the completion of the Project in 2023 or 2024), and City's reimbursement of the County's relocation costs, in accordance with the
requirements of the existing Interlocal Agreement.
The proposed Amended and Restated Interlocal Agreement is attached as Exhibit "D" to the Commission Memorandum
accompanying this Resolution, and includes the program scope and terms for the New Library ("Program Scope"). The Program
Scope provides for the New Library to have 7500 gross square feet(SF),with a program based on the following minimum areas:
• Entrance Lobby/Guest Services, 575 sq. ft.;
• Multipurpose community meeting room/study room, 950 sq.ft.;
•Young adults and children room, 1445 sq. ft.;
• Main reading room/library collections, 1945 sq. ft.;
• Digital Media/technology and innovation lab,1445 sq.ft.;
• Staff office, lounge area, separate mechanical, data room,janitorial, 1140 sq. ft.; and
• Restrooms as required by code.
In addition, the New Library will have the opportunity to use a community meeting room of approximately 2,500 square feet, to be
located at the roof/aquatic level of the Project, subject to scheduling availability in coordination with City's Parks and Recreation
Department.
The timing for approval of the Interlocal Agreement, memorializing the County's agreement to the Program Scope for the New
Library, is critical for the City, as it will permit the Administration to provide preliminary design and budget guidance as part of the
ongoing RFP for the Design/Builder for the Project. Without this Agreement, the selection of the Design/Builder, and the completion
of the Project, would be delayed.
In addition to the foregoing, the proposed Amended and Restated Interlocal Agreement sets forth the process for the County's
review of the final design, to permit the County to verify that the Project is ultimately constructed in accordance with the agreed
original Program Scope. The Amended and Restated Agreement also updates the existing Interlocal Agreement, as the agreement
included many provisions related to the original transfer to the County in the 1980s which are no longer applicable.
Among other terms, the Amended and Restated Agreement clarifies the terms relating to the Miami Beach Police Department's use
of Conference Room 202A at the Miami Beach Regional Library as a police sub-station; clarifies terms relating to the parking
spaces the City provides to County library staff working at the three library locations within the City; and clarifies terms with regard
to the termination of the Agreement, to provide a more equitable arrangement for reimbursing the County for the value of
unamortized permanent improvements completed by the County, solely in the event of the City's termination of the Interlocal
Agreement.
If approved by the City Commission at its September 16, 2020 meeting, the proposed Amended and Restated Interlocal Agreement
will be considered by the Board of County Commissioners at the appropriate Committee in October (most likely the Parks,
Recreation and Cultural Affairs Committee), and by the full Board of County Commissioners in November.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission approve the Amended and Restated Interlocal Agreement.
