49A��E 1c�1 BAR 1019x2 problem with agreeing to a price determined in advance by an appraiser, he called Mr. Padgett and learned that being bound by an appraisal is apparently an approach Mr. Padgett thought of to expedite matters. It appears Mr. Padgett is willing to negotiate, and Commissioner Bird stated he would prefer to see the Commission proceed on that basis rather than as outlined in the memo. He further noted that Mr. Padgett has not even seen a sketch of the property in question. Chairman Scurlock reported that the South County Advisory Committee had the same concern as Commissioner Bird, but they were advised this was not negotiable, and on that basis, they made the recommendation to go ahead. He believed if the Advisory Commission felt they had the option, they would prefer to proceed on a different basis. Commissioner Fletcher wished it qualified that Mr. Padgett has not seen a sketch of the land. Engineer John Robbins informed the Board that he and Guy Wills met with Mr. Padgett on the land in question and physically walked the land with him. At that time Mr. Padgett felt rather than dragging this out, it would be best to rely, on an appraiser, and those are the comments they took to the Administrator almost verbatim. Motion was made by Commissioner Lyons, seconded by Commissioner Wodtke for purposes of discussion, to accept Alternate 2 in the Administrator's memo dated February 25th, and after receipt of the appraisal, we then would have the option of purchasing if we consider the price is fair. Discussion arose about locking in that we won't exceed the appraised value, and Commissioner Wodtke felt if we were going to get two or three appraisals, it would be different, but if we are just getting one, we need the flexibility to negotiate and so -does Mr. Padgett.
