Narrative:
I was working sarasota radar north, south, and mcdill radar combined position. I was using coordinated information transfer procedures as per tampa approach SOP. I was working a VFR cherokee X at 2600 ft nwbound, and flashed the aircraft to srq tower. Srq tower flashed the aircraft back to me, so I retained control through their departure corridor. When the cherokee was approaching the departure flight path, I observed a radar target climbing off runway 32 wbound, converging with the cherokee. I immediately called sarasota tower on the landline and said in the blind to stop the departure air carrier Y at 1600 ft. There was no answer, so I called again to ask if they had complied with the instructions, and received an unintelligible answer. I issued traffic to the cherokee, then went back to the landline to tell srq tower to turn the MD80 northbound for course divergence, and srq told me that the MD80 had been switched already. By now the MD80 was climbing through 2000 ft to 3000 ft, and called me. I immediately turned the MD80 northbound for course divergence. The MD80 never reported having the cherokee in sight. I recommend that coordinated information transfer procedures be canceled with srq tower, or at least suspended until procedures can be retrieved.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: ATC COORD INFO TRANSFER X HAD CONFLICT WITH ACR Y.
Narrative: I WAS WORKING SARASOTA RADAR N, S, AND MCDILL RADAR COMBINED POS. I WAS USING COORDINATED INFO TRANSFER PROCS AS PER TAMPA APCH SOP. I WAS WORKING A VFR CHEROKEE X AT 2600 FT NWBOUND, AND FLASHED THE ACFT TO SRQ TWR. SRQ TWR FLASHED THE ACFT BACK TO ME, SO I RETAINED CTL THROUGH THEIR DEP CORRIDOR. WHEN THE CHEROKEE WAS APCHING THE DEP FLT PATH, I OBSERVED A RADAR TARGET CLBING OFF RWY 32 WBOUND, CONVERGING WITH THE CHEROKEE. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED SARASOTA TWR ON THE LANDLINE AND SAID IN THE BLIND TO STOP THE DEP ACR Y AT 1600 FT. THERE WAS NO ANSWER, SO I CALLED AGAIN TO ASK IF THEY HAD COMPLIED WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS, AND RECEIVED AN UNINTELLIGIBLE ANSWER. I ISSUED TFC TO THE CHEROKEE, THEN WENT BACK TO THE LANDLINE TO TELL SRQ TWR TO TURN THE MD80 NBOUND FOR COURSE DIVERGENCE, AND SRQ TOLD ME THAT THE MD80 HAD BEEN SWITCHED ALREADY. BY NOW THE MD80 WAS CLBING THROUGH 2000 FT TO 3000 FT, AND CALLED ME. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE MD80 NBOUND FOR COURSE DIVERGENCE. THE MD80 NEVER RPTED HAVING THE CHEROKEE IN SIGHT. I RECOMMEND THAT COORDINATED INFO TRANSFER PROCS BE CANCELED WITH SRQ TWR, OR AT LEAST SUSPENDED UNTIL PROCS CAN BE RETRIEVED.
