uling the use of the courts.

SUBJECT: Library Parking
DATE: March 18, 1977
Providing parking for library employees and patrons on the lot 1
west of the library would cost $350 plus City labor. All that is required
is to cut the existing curb, install a driveway, and move some shrubbery.
If the grass parking area loses its grass cover because of heavy; use,
the area could be blacktopped later.

SUBJC•CT: Earmarked Utility Funds
DATE: March 18, 1977
When our FmHA loan was closed in January, the City was reimbursed
about $96,500 for the interim financing that we provided from existing City
funds. 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.
