Staff Presentation: Public Works & Utilities Business Analyst Kenna Henry gave an overview of Resolution 24-3465 which provides for conveyance and acceptance of a Utility Easement Agreement between Home Depot, Duke Energy, LLC, and the City of Casselberry for construction of lighting infrastructure, repairs, operation and maintenance of lighting throughout the project area associated with the proposed US Highway 17-92 to Sunset Drive Pedestrian Connectivity Project. She gave a brief history of the project, explaining that the City had an interest in providing a safe pedestrian connection from the Lake Concord boardwalk to Sunset Drive and had contracted with a consultant in 2012 to start the design; however, the City was unable to obtain the easements necessary for the project. However, recently, staff from the Public Works & Utilities and Community Development Departments had been able to negotiate and obtain those easements allowing the project to move forward. With the three easements being presented for approval at tonight's meeting, the project will not only connect the boardwalk with Sunset Drive but will also create a loop around Lake Concord. Ms. Henry briefly described some of the key elements of the project, noting that it will be approximately .19 miles long and cost is currently estimated at 90% plans to be $544,000. It is anticipated that construction will begin in the fall of 2025 and conclude in the summer of 2026. Budget Impact: Approval of Resolution 24-3465 and the Utility Easement Agreement will not impact the City's budget. Recommendation: The City Manager and the Public Works & Utilities Director recommended approval of Resolution 24-3465. Audience Participation: No one came forward to address Resolution 24-3465. MOTION: Commissioner Busch moved to approve Resolution 24-3465, as presented.
