SUBJECT: Dedication of Utility Easement to Broward County for New Fire Station 34

---

As we get closer to the completion of the new Fire Station 34 on Bailey Road, we have to enter into various agreements pertaining to water and sewer utilities with Broward County as the County still provides these services in the area. One such agreement is to grant the County an unrestricted and exclusive easement for the purpose of maintaining the water and sewer lines.

As you know, the grand opening ceremony for the new Fire Station will be held on May 31, 2008. In order to hold this ceremony on the scheduled date, the City Administration/Staff had to sign off on this easement agreement on May 7, 2008 to avoid any delays. Tonight, we are requesting Commission’s approval/ratification of the attached resolution.

Recommendation:

The City Administration recommends Commission’s consideration and approval/ratification of the attached resolution dedicating to Broward County, Florida, an unrestricted Utility Easement for the purpose of maintaining utility lines located at the Milli Romano Dyer Fire Station #34 site on Bailey Road.
