Title
APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT BETWEEN CITY OF SARASOTA AND THE SCHOOL BOARD OF SARASOTA COUNTY, FLORIDA FOR PLACEMENT OF NEWTOWN HISTORICAL MARKER #9
Description
The City of Sarasota has embarked on an effort to document the 100 year history of the Newtown community. They are doing this through the creating of a comprehensive research report, 50 oral history interviews, 15 historic markers, a website, mobile app and brochures. The City has identified 15 locations for markers to develop a Heritage Trail. They would like to install an exhibit panel in an area across from Booker High School at 3400 North Orange Avenue, 33' from the southeastern curb and 25' southwest of a drainage structure. This is the property directly across the street from the campus proper. The City would be responsible for all maintenance and repair and the agreement does contain a 120 day out-clause.
Recommendation
That the Board approve the agreement between the City of Sarasota and the School Board of Sarasota County, Florida to place an exhibit panel on the Board owned property across the street from Booker High School as presented.
