DeBraal, Deputy County Attorney <br />Kate Pingolt Cotner, Assistant County Attorney <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Board of County Commissioners <br />THROUGH: Richard B. Szpyrka, P.E., Public Works Director <br />FROM: William K. DeBraal, Deputy County Attorney <br />DATE: March 7, 2018 <br />ATTORNEY <br />SUBJECT: Subordination of City Utility Interests to the Florida Department of Transportation, for <br />the SR 60/431d Avenue Project <br />In June 2015, the County and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) entered into a <br />County Incentive Grant Program Locally Funded Agreement (Incentive Agreement) whereby FDOT <br />would acquire the needed right-of-way for the SR 60/43 Id Avenue intersection improvements <br />(Project) with the cost of acquisition to be split equally between the parties. <br />As a result of title searches, surveying and performing utilities locations, an additional City of Vero <br />Beach Utility easement has been found along the east side of 43rd Avenue on the City owned <br />property that was once the Dodgertown Golf Course. A right-of-way map attached to this memo <br />shows the easement highlighted in blue. <br />FDOT has also asked the City to subordinate its interest in the utility easements to FDOT, which will <br />be considered by the City Council at an upcoming meeting. The City and FDOT are now asking the <br />County to join into that agreement to pay for the costs of relocation of the City utilities that will have <br />to be relocated during the Project. Since the City utilities lie in an easement owned by the City, the <br />party requesting the relocation of the utilities must pay for the cost of moving them to the new <br />location. As the County is responsible for construction of the Project (with financial assistance from <br />FDOT) the County is responsible for the cost of relocation. <br />FUNDING. Funding for this matter is budgeted and available in the Optional Sales Tax/Construction <br />in Progress /43rd AVE 18th ST to 26th ST, account number 31521441-066510-06041. An exact <br />cost amount to move the utilities cannot be determined at this time, however it is estimated to be <br />approximately $1,000.00. <br />
