BACKGROUND:

The County has a project in design to make road paving and drainage improvements on Killam Road, which is a County-maintained dirt road, located in the north portion of Escambia County. Due to limited right-of-way, it was determined that additional property would be required to facilitate the paving and drainage project. Mr. Mark Holland, owner of the property at 8521 Killam Road, has agreed to donate a portion of his property (approximately 0.06 acres), that fronts Killam Road, to facilitate the road paving and drainage improvements project. Board approval is required for the Board's acceptance of the donated property.

Once all property is acquired, the County will be able to finalize the design and bid the project for construction by the end of the calendar year.

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.
