liens which have been placed upon the subject property, which include a Florida Department of <br />Revenue Tax Warrant and liens from the County's Code Enforcement Board, as well as liens <br />arising from the County's mowing efforts. Attorney Polackwich advised that mediations are <br />currently in process between Vista Golf, LLC, and the Vista Associations (Vista Gardens and <br />Vista Royale, the neighboring community), and that if a settlement is reached, the Associations <br />would likely buy the property from the owner, at which time, part of the sale proceeds could be <br />used to pay off existing liens. He recommended that at this time, the Board: (1) take no further <br />code enforcement actions; (2) urge the property owners to take care of the property; and (3) be <br />prepared to mow if it is required and record the lien against the property, with the hope of an <br />impending settlement. <br />No Board Action Required or Taken <br />13.B.

He advised that he has not yet found a law firm with <br />expertise in both areas, and requested the Board approve hiring outside counsel, to assist in the <br />aforementioned areas on a consultant -type basis, with fees not to exceed $15,000. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Flescher, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Solari, to authorize the <br />County Attorney to hire outside counsel to act as <br />consultant to the County Attorney's Office on electric and <br />water and sewer franchise issues, with fees not to exceed <br />$15,000, without further Board approval. <br />17 <br />July 20, 2010 <br />
