12. G. OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET - NONE <br />12.H. RECREATION - NONE <br />12.1. PUBLIC WORKS <br />1. RIGHT-OF-WAY ACQUISITION— 66THAVENUE #0370, 7115 66TH <br />AVENUE, VERO BEACH, FL 32967, OWNER: O'NEAL, THOMAS <br />LESTER.JR. <br />Assistant Public Works Director Chris Mora updated the Board on this request for <br />the subject right-of-way acquisition to facilitate the widening of 66th Avenue from 2 -lanes to 4 - <br />lanes. He thereafter presented the two Alternatives for Board consideration: (1) to approve the <br />Agreement as presented, plus leaseback, or (2) to reject the terms of the Agreement and proceed <br />to eminent domain. It was staff's recommendation that the Board approve the total acquisition <br />package of $258,000.00, plus a leaseback of the property to Mr. O'Neal. The property would be <br />leased back to the O'Neals for $1.00 per month until construction of the roadway begins. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan believed staff had done a good job negotiating the price <br />and came up with a fair value; but was concerned that the lease was kind of open ended and does <br />not expire until 45 days from bid opening. He would rather see the Lease amended to one year <br />with annual renewals approved by the Board or an initial two-year term with Board approved <br />renewals, if Mr. O'Neal needs more time. <br />Assistant County Administrator Mike Zito stated that that was staff's last offer a <br />two-year lease with one-year renewals; however, Mr. O'Neal would not accept that offer. <br />27 <br />April 21, 2009 <br />
