SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS

Approve the Authorization of the Chief Facilities Officer to Sign Owner-Developer Off-Site Warranty Agreement and Off-Site Warranty Bond for Newsome Road "t-turn"

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) approved the vacation of portions of Newsome and Gallagher Roads adjacent to Strawberry Crest High School and Bailey Elementary School in December 2008. The agreement to vacate required Hillsborough County Public Schools to dedicate right-of-way to the County, build a "t-turn" at the western terminus of the vacated portion of Newsome Road and dedicate the improvement to Hillsborough County. The right of way was dedicated at the time the vacation agreement was approved and the t-turn has been constructed and deemed complete by Hillsborough County as of May 2010. The BOCC is scheduled to approve the dedication of the t-turn on September 14, 2010. The request to the Board is to authorize the Chief Facilities Officer to sign the agreements and bonds required by Hillsborough County to execute the dedication.
