The City of Edgewater is party to an agreement with the FDOT to create the V olusia
County Metropolitan Planning Organization. V olusia County and each city within
V olusia County are also parties to this agreement. This agreement was executed in
1996 and remains in effect until one party terminates the agreement.

There are several areas where cooperative efforts are undertaken without the force of
written agreements. These areas include: law enforcement and fire-rescue services,
parks and recreation, planning and development review and transportation.
C. AREAS OF INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION ANALYSIS
As Edgewater continues to grow, there are a number of problems and needs which would
benefit from additional coordination. These include:
a. Fnt11rp T ~11c1 T Tc;p Flpmpl1t
Planning for areas adjacent to Edgewater. There is no formal interlocal agreement
between the County and Edgewater regarding future land use, services and facilities
in the adjacent unincorporated areas. Of particular concern are the unincorporated
areas to the west of the City. The drainage from these areas into the City's system
remains an area of concern. The type and intensity of development in the County's
portion of this area is of particular concern to the City. The southern area near
Voleo Road is also an area that as development in the County continues, the
drainage issues should be coordinated with the County.
b. N~t11r~ 1 "R p<;onrC"Pc;
The protection of wellfields and the recharge areas would also benefit from County
and City coordination. However, the City does have an adopted wellfield protection
ordinance
c. W~tpr Qm lity
The water quality of the Indian River is a multi-jurisdictional issue, which is not
being adequately addressed at this time. The closing by the V olusia County Health
Department of Menard-May Park due to water quality issues is but one example of
the need for coordination with the State and surrounding cities in an effort to
address the water quality of the Indian River The monitoring of the water quality in
VIII-7

C::OMPREHENSIVE PLAN
o
INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION ELEMENT
the estuary is a concern and requires joint City and County efforts. Since stormwater
runoff from State Road U.S. 1 goes direcdy into the River, the City should continue
to coordinate with FDEP and other State agencies to improve the water quality of
this important resource.
d. Wlptl~l1c1 ~11t1 N~t11T'~1 Rp<:nllT'rps
Adjacent to the City to the west is Turnbull Hammock, which is a significant
environmentally sensitive area. Policies in the Conservation Element call for
coordination with the SJRWMD, Volusia County and other relevant agencies for the
preservation of this area. The City should also continue to coordinate with the
FFWCC, FDEP and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service during the development
review process. This coordination will help ensure Edgewater's natural resources are
protected from any potential negative impacts associated with development.
e. TT'~l1srnrt~tinn
Level-of-Service (LOS) Standards and Road Improvements. The levels of service
and projected traffic counts by the County differ from those set by the City.
Therefore, the issues of LOS standards, funding for road improvements and
concurrency management are problems which could -benefit from more County and
City coordination.
f. T Ttilitips
The City is completing an update to its master drainage plan and should seek
coordination with the State, Volusia County, and the City of New Smyrna Beach to
ensure the report accounts for extrajurisdictional issues. Such coordination efforts
could include more coordination in land use planning for the areas noted above.
The problems associated with the stormwater management are often multi-
jurisdictional and must be solved in this manner.
The City should also continue its coordination with V olusia County for the provision
of potable water and sanitary sewer services in the southern portion of the City. This
coordination will ensure the most efficient and cost effective provision of services.
g. R prT'P~tinl1
The City should continue its practice of the shared use of school facilities within the
City's recreation program. Additional coordination efforts should be made with
V olusia County and the City of New Smyrna Beach to ensure that services are not
