Resolution 08-1910 - SEMINOLA BOULEV ARD SANITARY SEWER UTILITY EASEMENT AGREEMENTS AND RELATED BUDGET AMENDMENT #08-059 The City Clerk read Resolution 08-1910 by title as follows: "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF CASSELBERRY, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF UTILITY EASEMENT(S) BETWEEN THE CITY OF CASSELBERRY AND CASSELBERRY INVESTMENT PROPERTIES, LTD., DOROTHY H. SMITH, VINCENT DEFILIPPO (CONTEMPORARY ASSETS, INC), MICHELE PASTERNACK, MARIO AND KARON ZACCO, AND JOHN A. ZACCO (PROPERTY OWNERS ALONG A SECOND OF SEMINOLA BOULEVARD) AND AUTHORIZING THE POSTPONEMENT OF THE REMAINDER SECTIONS OF THE SEMINOLA BOULEVARD SANITARY SEWER PROJECT; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS, SEVERABILITY, AND EFFECTIVE DATE." Staff Presentation: Mr. Ed Torres made a presentation relating to Resolution 08-191 0 earlier in the meeting which has been attached to and made a part of these minutes. Resolution 08-1910 provides approval for six separate utility easement agreements between property owners along Seminola Boulevard and the City of Casselberry for the construction of a section of the Seminola Boulevard Sanitary Sewer Project. Also requested is a postponement of the remainder ofthe Seminola Boulevard Sanitary Sewer Project until all the necessary easement agreements are acquired and the impact of other mandatory utility infrastructure financial commitments are fully assessed. Budget Impact: There is no direct budget impact for the execution of the utility easements presented with the exception of the recording fees estimated at $20 per easement. However, as noted, the incentives provided reduce the total amount of sewer connection and benefit fees that could be collected as well as delay revenues from sanitary sewer service and/or flow-by charges. Nevertheless, the incentives are intended as amicably negotiated and less costly acquisition than an outright purchase and/or acquisition by condemnation via eminent domain. It is important to point out that the City has several outstanding mandatory utility infrastructure commitments that require a substantial capital investment. A budget amendment has been included to recognize the postponement of the Seminola Boulevard Sanitary Sewer Extension Project and to restore Fund Balance to cancel the commitment to utilize reserve funds. BTR #08-059: Explanation of Request: Amend the budget to recognize the indefinite deferral of the Seminola Boulevard Sanitary Sewer Extension Project and to restore Fund Balance to cancel the commitment to utilize reserve funds.
