Subject: Resolution Approving a Maintenance Map for SW 268th Street at its Intersections with SW 145th Avenue and SW 139th Avenue, Section 34, Township 56 South, Range 39 East, Miami-Dade County, Florida

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Executive Summary
The purpose of this item is for the Board of County Commissioners (Board) to accept a maintenance map for SW 268th Street at its intersections with SW 145th Avenue and SW 139th Avenue for road purposes. Once the maintenance map is accepted by the Board, the instrument will be recorded in the Public Records of Miami-Dade County. The County is already maintaining this property; therefore, there is no expenditure of County funds associated with this item.

Recommendation
The Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW) requires the maintenance map for road purposes and recommends that the Board accepts the maintenance map. The proposed maintenance map is depicted and described in Attachment 1 to this Memorandum.

Scope
The subject property is located within District 9, which is represented by Vice Chairman Kionne L. McGhee.

Fiscal Impact/Funding Source
There is no fiscal impact associated with this resolution, as Miami-Dade County has already been maintaining this portion of the right of way, as shown in Attachment 2 to this Memorandum. This cost is funded through DTPW�s General Fund allocation.

Track Record/Monitor
DTPW is the entity overseeing this item and the person responsible for it is Maria D. Molina, P.E., Chief, Right of Way and Stormwater Planning and Design Division.

Delegated Authority
The resolution delegates authority for the County Mayor or County Mayor�s designee to execute the maintenance map. Furthermore, the County Mayor or County Mayor�s designee shall record the maintenance map accepted therein in the Public Record of Miami-Dade County.

Background
DTPW is constructing a project which consists of roadway improvements to SW 268 Street from US Highway No. 1/State Road No 5 to SW 139th Avenue. The roadway is under the jurisdiction, operation, and maintenance of Miami-Dade County. These improvements include milling and resurfacing; adjustment of valve boxes, manholes, ADA ramps, and connectors if needed; and pavement markings and signage.

The areas depicted by the maintenance map attached to this Mayor�s Memorandum as Attachment 1 contain a fully operational intersection with traffic lanes and other utilities, which have been maintained for more than seven years.

An affidavit from DTPW�s Road and Bridges Maintenance Manager certifying the County's historic maintenance of the areas is attached as Attachment 2 to this memorandum. According to Section 95.361 of the Florida Statutes, the recording in the public records of a maintenance map depicting a vested road shall be prima facie evidence of ownership. DTPW therefore recommends approval of this resolution authorizing the maintenance map.
