Agenda 10/09/2018 Item #16K 610/09/2018 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to approve a Stipulated Final Judgment for final compensation in the amount of $8,000 for Parcel 404RDUE, including all attorney and expert fees, in the lawsuit styled Collier County v. Jarrett Cox, et al, Case No. 16-CA-1313, required for the Golden Gate Boulevard Expansion Project No. 60145, (from 20th St. E. to Everglades Blvd.). (Fiscal Impact: $4,800) OBJECTIVE: To settle full compensation owed for the taking of Parcel 404RDUE required for the construction of roadway and related drainage and utility improvements required for the expansion of Golden Gate Boulevard (Project No. 60145, from 20th St. E. to Everglades Blvd.), hereinafter referred to as the “Project.” CONSIDERATIONS: On November 18, 2016, the County condemned Parcel 404RDUE and deposited $3,200 into the Court registry as a good faith estimate of value pursuant to an Order of Taking in the lawsuit styled Collier County v. Jarrett Cox, et al, Case No. 16-CA-1313. The parcel was required for the construction of the Project, and is a 6,965-square foot perpetual, non-exclusive road right-of-way, drainage and utility easement. The easement was taken from vacant property owned by Wakefield Property Holdings, LLC. An aerial photograph of the property is attached. Through negotiations, the parties agreed to a settlement of $8,000, inclusive of all compensation for the property interest taken, damages, and all attorney and expert fees. If approved, the County will be obligated to pay an additional $4,800 over the amount on deposit. County Attorney’s Office and Staff recommend approval of this Stipulated Final Judgment since a better result is not anticipated at trial. Upon approval, the County Attorney’s Office will file the attached Joint Motion for Stipulated Final Judgment with the Circuit Court. FISCAL IMPACT: Funds in the amount of $4,800 will be paid from impact fees from the Golden Gate Boulevard Expansion Project No. 60145. The primary funding source for the acquisition of right -of-way is impact fees. Should impact fees not be sufficient within a particular project, the secondary funding source will be gas taxes. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: None. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been prepared by the County Attorney’s Office, is approved as to form and legality, and requires a majority vote for Board approval. - ERP RECOMMENDATION: To approve a Stipulated Final Judgment in the amount of $8,000 for Parcel 404RDUE, including all attorney and expert fees, in the lawsuit styled Collier County v.
