That the Board take the following action concerning acceptance of the donation of a parcel of real property, located in Springdale Forest, Phase 1, Subdivision:
A. Accept the donation of a parcel of real property (approximately 3.11 acres), located in Springdale Forest, Phase 1, Subdivision, from U.I.L., Family Limited Partnership;
B. Authorize the payment of documentary stamps, because the property is being donated for governmental use, which is for stormwater drainage purposes, and the County benefits from the acceptance of this property, which enhances the safety and well-being of the citizens of Escambia County;
C. Authorize the payment of incidental expenditures associated with the recording of documents; and

| BACKGROUND: |
Meeting in regular session on May 27, 1997, the Board approved the final plat of Springdale Forest, Phase 1 and accepted the road and drainage improvements, including three retention ponds for permanent County maintenance. Springdale Forest, Phase 1 is recorded in Plat Book 15 at Page 69 of the public records of Escambia County. The roads and drainage easements and ponds were dedicated by plat.
It recently came to staffs attention that one of the retention pond areas was not properly described in the dedication. The County is maintaining the retention pond, which is a part of the storm water drainage system that the County maintains. U.I.L. Family Limited Partnership was the owner and developer of Springdale Forest. Due to the incorrect dedication, the property is still owned by U.I.L. Family Limited Partnership.
In order to correct this discrepancy, staff approached the owner to see if he would be willing to deed this property to the County. U.I.L. Family Limited Partnership agreed to deed this property to the County, but wanted to utilize a quit claim deed. Therefore staff is requesting the Board accept the donation of the approximately 3.11 acre parcel by quit claim deed. Board approval is required for the Board's acceptance of the donated property.
