WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD, THEY COULD ASK THE SCHOOL BOARD TO PAY THE REMAINING AMOUNT WITH THE UNDERSTANDING WE WOULD TAKE CARE OF A ROAD SYSTEM SATISFACTORY TO MEET THE SCHOOLS NEEDS, I.E., THEY WOULD PAY FOR THE LAND AND WE WOULD BUILD THE ROADS. ADMINISTRATOR .JENNINGS NOTED THAT THERE IS ANOTHER SCHOOL ON THE HORIZON IN THE SEBASTIAN AREA WHICH ALSO WILL REQUIRE EXTENSIVE ROADS. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT FELT WE SHOULD HAVE DR. BURNS MEET WITH THE BOARD AND GET EVERYTHING IN REGARD TO ROADS, BICYCLE PATHS, RECREATIONAL USE OF THE PROPERTY, ETC., RESOLVED. IN REGARD TO SETTING A SCHOOL WAY OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE IN THE NORTH COUNTY, CHAIRMAN SIEBERT WAS OF THE OPINION THAT THE BOARDS BUSINESS IS TO MOVE TRAFFIC, NOT TO BUILD ACCESS ROADS, AND HE DID NOT BELIEVE THAT THE SCHOOL BOARD SHOULD BE ABLE TO BUILD SCHOOLS JUST ANYWHERE AND THEN TELL US TO BUILD THE ROADS. ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS NOTED THAT UP TILL NOW THAT IS HOW IT HAS BEEN: AT SEBASTIAN MIDDLE -.JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL, THE COUNTY HAD TO SPEND ABOUT $90,000 TO WIDEN THE STATE ROAD TO GET THE BUSES IN AND OUT. COMMISSIONER LYONS BELIEVED THE COST OF WHATEVER IMPROVE- MENTS ARE GOING TO BE MADE IN THE ROADS HAS TO BE PAID FOR OUT OF THE TRANSACTION INVOLVING THE SCHOOL SITE. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT DID NOT BELIEVE THERE IS ANYTHING CLOSE TO THAT AMOUNT INVOLVED IN THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY. ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS FELT IF YOU HAD THE TRUE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY, IT WOULD GO A LONG WAY TOWARDS OFFSETTING THE COUNTY'S OBLIGATION TO BUILD THE ROADS. HE DID NOT BELIEVE THE SCHOOL SHOULD HAVE TO PAY THE WHOLE COST, BUT THAT THEY SHOULD PAY THE TRUE VALUE OF THE LAND, ATTORNEY COLLINS COMMENTED THAT IF THE SCHOOL BOARD WERE TO PAY THE TRUE VALUE OF THE LAND, THEY MIGHT BE BETTER OFF CON- `DEMNING ONE OF THE CORNERS AT 20TH AND OSLO. THE BOARD AGREED. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT SUGGESTED GETTING DR. BURNS AND MEMBERS OF THE SCHOOL BOARD HERE IN ,JULY TO DISCUSS THIS MATTER. 49 �BflQK 43 QAGE / 85
