Engineer Robbins reported that he had received a letter from Mr. Padgett with a pencil sketch of a piece of property he would consider selling, consisting of approximately 2.2 acres. He and Mr. Wills subsequently met Mr. Padgett at the proposed site primarily just to pin down the location and determine whether it would be adequate from a hydraulic standpoint. Mr. Robbins continued that the problem we now are faced with is that the Agreement with the City of Vero Beach re South Beach stated that six months after the actual execution of that document, or around April 20th, the County would be in a position to advertise for bids, etc. We have to go through the site plan approval process which will take about 45 days, and that is why activities have been conducted in a manner to expedite this purchase. Mr. Robbins felt it may be necessary to request extension of the site plan date from the City. Discussion then followed in regard to sites available for the ground storage tank. Engineer Robbins confirmed that St. Edward's School had been approached in this regard and refused, and The Moorings also were negative. The only actual positive input has been from Mr. Padgett. Engineer Robbins noted that when he :first contacted Mr. Padgett in this regard, he did not have any flexibility as to negoti- ating, and if Mr. Padgett has changed his position, Mr. Robbins highly recommended that the Board allow him some flexibility. Discussion continued re not exceeding appraised value, and Attorney Brandenburg stated his understanding was that the Motion would authorize appraisal of the site by either Jack Sherman of Armfield Sherman & Associates or Richard Wagner of Indian River Federal Savings & Loan as set out in the staff report and negotiation of a purchase price not to exceed the appraised value.
