W Andrews City Manager DATE SU'3JEC:T MAR 1 n 1976 FILE. 10' Dedication at State Office wilding Site in Government Center REFER'NCES. ENCLOSURES: On March 10, Mr. William F. 1-iampton, Special Assistant to the County Manager, informed me of a problem regarding the site of the proposed State Office Building in the Downtown Government Center. Because of funding deadlines, Dade County was expected to deed to the State the site for this project, all of Blocks 76N and 76E, no later than March 19, 1976 and on this basis, the County Attorney drafted an agreement for the deed with the State. Subsequently, the County surveyor pointed out that "a11 of Blocks 76N and 76E" includes a 10' wide strip of dedicated City right of way and at that time, the County became aware that they did not have title to the. northerly 10' of these two Blocks. We have been further informed that to now redraw the agreement between the County and State and present it to the Governor and Cabinet, the con- struction funds for the project would revert to the State General Revenue Fund. The State GSA is under direction from the Cabinet to have a signed contract for the construction of this project by April 1, 1976. It was under these circumstances the City was requested to deed to Dade County this 10' of right of way so the County could in turn include it in their deed to the State. The deed states that this conveyance is made on the express condition that the 10' of property is to be used for public sidewalk purposes only. Because of the deadlines involved and the desire of the City to not delay the project, I have transferred the deed to this right of vvay to Dade County and request the City Commission ratify this action by adopting the attached resolution.
