This amount has been reduced to about $90,000 by the 5% hold -back from Hubbard Construction Company (I will have an exact figure by Tuesday evening). We have foreseeable need for this money for effluent disposal, water system improvements, or sewer system extension. I recommend formally earmarking this money for "Utilities Capital Improvements". TO: City Council FROM: City Manager SUBJECT: SR 50 Quit -Claim Deed DATE: March la, 1977 Florida DOT has requested a quit -claim deed to all the rights and interests of the City of Clermont lying within the proposed right-of- way of SR 50 from SR 561 west. The right-of-way maps show no conflict with City property or easements. A similar deed was executed earlier this year for the portion of SR 50 between US 27 and SR 561. I recommend authorizing the appropriate City officials to execute the requested deed by adopting the attached resolution.
