Background
The City of Deltona was awarded a grant through the Volusia ECHO Grant program for the Big Lake Rookery Park. Big Lake Rookery Park is intended to serve as an eco-park featuring passive type of improvements such as a boardwalk and lake observation deck. The park consists of four (4) separate tracts of land. During title review, there was a determination the County owned one of the tracts. To address the ownership situation and move the project forward, the County has agreed to lease the tract to the City for recreation and open space purposes.
The attached lease is to formalize the use of the tract owned by the County of Volusia. The lease agreement is for the County to rent the tract to the City at a cost of one dollar as long as the park remains open to the public.
Work proposed for the site will not be eligible for ECHO grant reimbursement until after the Grant Agreement is executed which cannot occur until the lease is signed/executed.
The Acting City Manager has the authority to make corrections of scrivener's errors and the like.
