10. City Manager Reports
10.1Approve two quitclaim deeds to the Florida Department of Transportation, authorize
the appropriate officials to execute same and adopt Resolution 15-09.
In 1983, the City acquired two easements for right-of-way purposes at the
intersection of Court Street and Missouri Avenue. The easements are located
on the northeast and southeast corners of the intersection and contain
approximately 30 and 10 square feet respectively. This intersection falls under
the jurisdiction of the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). FDOT is
planning a resurfacing project for State Road 60 which includes installing new
mast arms at this intersection. FDOT owns the property rights necessary to
manage the intersection for right-of-way purposes so the easements are no
longer needed by the City. The quitclaim deeds will transfer the City's interest
in the property to FDOT.
Councilmember Hamilton moved to approve two quitclaim deeds to
the Florida Department of Transportation and authorize the
appropriate officials to execute same. The motion was duly
seconded and carried unanimously.
Resolution 15-09 was presented and read by title only.

motion was duly seconded and upon roll call, the vote was:
