BACKGROUND:
Barrineau Park Road (Highway 196) is a County-maintained road (R/W varies), whose western terminus is at the Perdido River Bridge at the Alabama/Florida State line.  Barrineau Park Road (Highway 196) is paved, with the exception of the westernmost 1900', which is unpaved, and maintained by the County.  The County would like to make improvements to this section of Barrineau Park Road (Highway 196), to include paving and drainage, and eliminate the need to mobilize a motor grader for this isolated portion.  The owners of the property on both sides of this portion of Barrineau Park Road (Highway 196) also own the unpaved portion.  The owners have offered to donate this portion of Barrineau Park Road (Highway 196), approximately 2.73 acres, to facilitate the proposed County improvements.   

Public Works staff have reviewed this offer to donate this portion of Barrineau Park Road (Highway 196), approximately 2.73 acres, to the County.  Staff has no objection to the acceptance of this property, since it is being maintained by the County (road grading and drainage work).  Board approval is required for the Board's acceptance of the donated property. 
BUDGETARY IMPACT:
Funds for incidental expenses associated with the recording of documents are available in an Engineering Escrow Account accessed by Escambia County Clerk's Office.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS/SIGN-OFF:
The Warranty Deed was approved as to form and legal sufficiency by Stephen West, Assistant County Attorney, on July 11, 2013.
PERSONNEL:
All work associated with this request is being done in-house.
POLICY/REQUIREMENT FOR BOARD ACTION:
These actions are consistent with the provisions of Section 46-139, Escambia County Code of Ordinances.
IMPLEMENTATION/COORDINATION:
Upon board approval, staff will proceed in compliance with Section 46-139 of the County Code of Ordinances.
