Ahnell, C.P.A., C.G.F.O. City Manager ~ Non-Disturbance Agreement with Florida Power & Light Company Subordinating Utility Interests Over a Shared Use Pathway at 1 Town Center Road RECOMMENDATION: I recommend approval of this Resolution, which authorizes the Mayor and City Clerk to execute a nondisturbance agreement with Florida Power & Light Company ("FPL") for the purpose of subordinating utility interests in a public shared use pathway easement ("Easement") to facilitate a federal grant for construction of the public shared use pathway ("Pathway") at 1 Town Center Road. BACKGROUND: Concurrently with this non-disturbance agreement, the City Council will be considering the approval and acceptance of the Easement that will allow another link to Patch Reef Trail. The Pathway will be constructed and maintained by the City. A Federal grant for the pathway project has been secured; however, a requirement of the grant is the subordination of any and all utilities located within any portion of the Easement. As FPL has facilities located within the Easement, they have agreed to subordinate their interest to the City via a non-disturbance agreement. Bellsouth Telecommunications, LLC also has facilities within the Easement and have also agreed to subordinate their interests via a separate agreement and petition to City Council. Execution of the non-disturbance agreement will facilitate another link to Patch Reef Trail, extending the Pathway south along the Lake Worth Drainage District E-3 Canal to connect to Verde Trail South. The Development Services and Municipal Services Departments both support the agreement. This Resolution serves as the vehicle for the City Council to authorize the execution of the Non Disturbance Agreement by the Mayor and City Clerk FISCAL IMPACT: There is no expense to the City.
