Body
Staff Recommends: Approval of the attached Resolution.
Explanation:
The City of Hollywood (“City”), together with the Community Redevelopment Agency ("CRA"), desires additional beautification improvements along State Road A1A to enhance the corridor's aesthetics and improve the pedestrian experience.
In support of the CRA's Complete Street Project to facilitate undergrounding of utility lines, the City’s Resolution No. 2021-093 granted five City owned easements to Florida Power and Light (“FPL”) at three different City owned properties. The easements are necessary to facilitate undergrounding of utility lines, ancillary FPL facilities and equipment infrastructure that do not fit within City's Right-of-Way.
As part of the beautification improvements of the Complete Street Project, the CRA desires to grant the easement generally located at 327 Nebraska Street (the Nebraska Street Parking Garage) to FPL.
FPL requires, and the CRA’s executive director recommends, execution of the Underground Easement Form in which the CRA grants to FPL a non-exclusive easement, forever, for the construction, operations, and maintenance of underground electric utility facilities.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this resolution.
