9 City Manager Reports 10. City Manager Reports 10.1 Approve two quitclaim deeds to the Florida Department of Transportation, authorize the appropriate officials to execute same and adopt Resolution In 1983, the City acquired two easements for right-of-way purposes at the intersection of Court Street and Missouri Avenue. The easements are located on the northeast and southeast corners of the intersection and contain approximately 30 and 10 square feet respectively. This intersection falls under the jurisdiction of the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). FDOT is planning a resurfacing project for State Road 60 which includes installing new mast arms at this intersection.
