Council approves dedication to repave Hooper's Landing parking lot with CTF support
Summary
Council approved a dedication agreement to convert and repave a former tennis-court area at Hooper's Landing Golf Course into a public parking lot, enabling use of Community Transportation Funds; Representative Short offered one-third of the funding through CTF.
The Seaford mayor and council voted unanimously on Nov. 25 to approve a dedication agreement that will allow the city to repave a rear-area former tennis court behind Hooper's Landing Golf Course and use Community Transportation Funds (CTF) to pay for the work. City staff said the total project is just under $100,000 and that Representative Short offered to provide roughly one-third of the required funds from his CTF allocation if the parcel is dedicated to public use in perpetuity.
City staff described the dedication paperwork as necessary to receive state funding and noted the dedicated area would become public parking in perpetuity; staff said the mayor and city staff would execute the agreement with the state if council approved. Councilman Alan Cohen moved to approve the dedication agreement and Councilman Holland seconded; the motion carried unanimously.
Why it matters: Dedication of the parcel to public use is a condition for receiving CTF support. Staff said repaving and striping will benefit the golf course, Seaford Community Swim Center and senior-center events, especially during tournaments and swim meets.
What's next: Staff will process the executed dedication agreement with state authorities, and repaving work will proceed once funding and procurement steps are complete.
