| INITIAL | 08-28-2009 | CSX RR CROSSING SAYS CITY RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTENANCE. |
| | | MS. GRETA MINTER CALLED REGARDING THE RAILROAD CROSSING @ 7 |
| | | STREET & 15TH. SHE SAID THE TRACKS ARE SO TORN UP YOU HAVE |
| | | TO DRIVE AROUND THE DAMAGED AREAS. SHE SAID IT'LL TEAR |
| | | YOUR CAR UP. THIS IS A LIABILITY FOR THE CITY OR WHOEVER |
| | | OWNS THIS, AND IS DANGEROUS. |
| | | SHE CONTACTED CSX AND THEY WROTE HER A LETTER (WHICH SHE |
| | | FAXED OVER TO ME). IT CLEARLY SAYS THIS IS NOT THEIR |
| | | RESPONSIBILITY, AND THE CITY OF WEST PALM BEACH IS |
| | | RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MAINTENANCE. |
| | | PLEASE CALL MS. GRETA MINTER & ADVISE. 561-833-9814. I |
| | | WILL KEEP THE LETTER TEMPORARILY IF YOU NEED IT. |

| | | ESTIMATE FROM CSX'S CONSULTANT TO FIX THE CROSSINGS. |

| | | JOHN- |
| | | |
| | | WELL I HAD RECALLED THAT YOU MENTIONED THAT THE TIES WERE |
| | | ROTTED IN A NUMBER OF PLACES AND THAT THE RUBBER WAS COMING |
| | | UP COMPLETELY ON ANOTHER. TO ME THIS SOUNDED LIKE THE |
| | | CROSSINGS NEED TO BE REBUILT. SIMPLE POTHOLE PAVING IS NOT |
| | | REALLY GOING TO FIX THESE ISSUES. ULTIMATELY THE |
| | | ROADMASTER WOULD KNOW BEST WHAT IS NEEDED TO MAKE THESE |
| | | LOCATIONS SAFE. IF ALL WE NEED IS THE PAVING WORK, THEN A |
| | | LETTER AGREEMENT CAN BE SENT FOR REIMBURSEMENT TERMS. I |
| | | HAVE CLEARED THIS WITH THE APPROPRIATE PEOPLE. SO, NOW, WE |
| | | JUST NEED ROADMASTER MAGARGLE TO MAKE THE CALL ON REBUILD |
| | | VS SPOT FIXES. |
| | | |
| | | TIM- |
| | | |
| | | FOR YOUR QUICK REFERENCE, THE THREE CROSSINGS IN WEST PALM |
| | | ARE 25TH ST, 15TH ST, AND 7TH ST. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT |
| | | YOU THINK IS THE APPROPRIATE LEVEL OF WORK THAT YOU???D |
| | | LIKE TO HAVE DONE AT THESE LOCATIONS, AND I WILL HAVE |
| | | EITHER CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENTS OR A REIMBURSEMENT LETTER |
| | | SENT DEPENDING ON YOUR DECISION. |

| | | |
| | | JOHN AND HECTOR- |
| | | |
| | | WHEN I STARTED TO RESEARCH THE 7TH STREET AGREEMENT, I CAME |
| | | ACROSS THE FOLLOWING (PLEASE SEE ATTACHED AGREEMENTS FOR |
| | | PROOF- I???VE HIGHLIGHTED THE PERTINENT PARAGRAPHS): |
| | | |
| | | - 7TH STREET WAS OPENED UNDER AGREEMENT SAL55143 |
| | | ALONG WITH TWO OTHER CROSSINGS IN 1959 |
| | | - A SUPPLEMENT TO THIS AGREEMENT, SAL55143, WAS |
| | | SIGNED IN 1964 STATING THAT SINCE 23RD STREET CROSSING WAS |
| | | NEVER OPENED, THEY WANTED TO OPEN TO 25TH STREET INSTEAD |
| | | UNDER THE SAME AGREEMENT. |
| | | - I ALSO SAW IN OUR ARCHIVED FILES THAT THE PHASE |
| | | A AGREEMENT REFERENCES THIS AGREEMENT SAL55143 WITH THE |
| | | CITY IN EXHIBIT 5. |
| | | - I READ THE PARTS THAT REFERENCE EXHIBIT 5 AND |
| | | FOUND THAT CSX IS AUTHORIZED TO ADMINISTER THE TERMS OF THE |
| | | EXISTING AGREEMENTS ON BEHALF OF THE STATE. THIS MEANS |
| | | THAT THE MAINTENANCE TERMS OF THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENT, WHICH |
| | | PLACES SOLE RESPONSIBILITY ON THE CITY, WILL BE OVERSEEN BY |
| | | CSX IN THE NAME OF THE STATE. |
| | | - THE 1995 AGREEMENT WHICH WE WERE AWARE OF |
| | | PREVIOUS STATES THAT AFTER THE RUBBER CROSSING WAS |
| | | INSTALLED, CSX IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTENANCE IN ACCORDANCE |
| | | WITH THE PHASE A AGREEMENT. THIS NEW FINDING SAYS THAT THE |
| | | PHASE A AGREEMENT ALLOWS CSX TO BE REIMBURSED BY THE CITY |
| | | FOR THE MAINTENANCE UNDER THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENT REFERENCED |
| | | IN EXHIBIT 5. |
| | | |
| | | ALL THE AGREEMENTS ARE ATTACHED. IF ANYONE CAN FIND |
| | | SOMETHING TO THE CONTRARY OR CAN EXPLAIN A DIFFERENT |
| | | INTERPRETATION, I HAVE NO OBJECTION TO LOOKING INTO IT. |
| | | BUT NOW, IN LIGHT OF MY NEW UNDERSTANDING, THE REBUILDING |
| | | OF ALL THREE CROSSINGS, 7TH ST 15TH ST AND 25TH ST, WILL |
| | | FINANCIALLY FALL ON THE CITY. I AM COPYING MR. DAVE KRAFFT |
| | | WITH HDR, OUR CONSULTANT IN THE FLORIDA AREA, SO THAT HE IS |
| | | AWARE OF THE SITUATION. IF THESE CROSSINGS ARE TO BE |
| | | REBUILT, I WILL HAVE HDR PUT TOGETHER ESTIMATES AND SEND |
| | | THE CITY CONSTRUCTION/REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENTS FOR THE |
| | | WORK. LET ME KNOW HOW YOU???D LIKE ME TO PROCEED. THANKS. |

| | | MARY, JOHN ??? GOOD AFTERNOON |
| | | |
| | | AS PER THE ATTACHED EMAIL FROM 09/10/2008 |
| | | |
| | | THE STATE AGREED TO COVER EXPENSES FOR REPAIRS BETWEEN THE |
| | | TIES AT 25TH STREET (AS ESTABLISHED BY THE AGREEMENT) UNDER |
| | | THE MAINTENANCE OP# FOR THE FDOT/CSX SOUTH FLORIDA RAIL |
| | | CORRIDOR. THE CITY WILL HAVE TO OBTAIN AN OP# FROM CSX TO |
| | | CHARGE EXPENSES FOR WHICH THE CITY IS RESPONSIBLE, SUCH AS |
| | | ASPHALT. I BELIEVE THE CITY MAY USE THEIR OWN ASPHALT |
| | | CONTRACTOR. |
| | | |
| | | 15TH STREET THE AGREEMENT FROM THE 1950S ESTABLISHES THE |
| | | CITY AS RESPONSIBLE 100% |
| | | |
| | | 7TH STREET, I DO NOT HAVE A COPY OF THE AGREEMENT, MARY DO |
| | | YOU HAVE A COPY OF THE AGREEMENT FOR THIS LOCATION? |
| | | |
| | | FDOT HAS PROVIDED ITS CONSENT FOR CSX TO COMPLETE THIS WORK |
| | | AND BUDGETED FOR THIS EXPENSE AS WELL. |
| | | |
| | | HOPE THIS HELPS CLARIFY, |
