two-year lease at the rate of one dollar per year. Attorney DeBraal thereafter presented staff's <br />recommendation to approve the Purchase, Sale, and Lease Agreement. <br />Discussion ensued as the Board questioned Attorney DeBraal on the fair -market value for <br />the rental. <br />Chairman O'Bryan objected to the purchase, noting that the County would be buying <br />land which might not be utilized for quite awhile. He also noted that the two-year leaseback at <br />one dollar per year was a violation of a policy set in place last year, which limited an initial <br />leaseback term to one year, with subsequent renewals to occur in six-month increments at fair - <br />market rental rates. <br />Attorney DeBraal responded to the Board's questions regarding the $320,000 appraisal <br />value, the $360,000 asking price, and the extra fees which were being requested above the <br />purchase price. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Vice Chairman Solari, <br />SECONDED by Chairman O'Bryan, to DENY the <br />Purchase and Sale Agreement with Roy and Cindy Bass, <br />at this time. <br />Commissioner Davis voiced support for the Purchase Agreement, noting that the property <br />owners' ability to utilize their land was being impacted by its impending sale. He felt the County <br />should undertake the purchase at this time, when a willing seller is in hand, and not have to deal <br />with an eminent domain issue in the future. <br />Attorney DeBraal requested that the Board provide him with some acceptable terms, so <br />he could make a counter-offer to the Basses. <br />25 <br />July 13, 2010 <br />
