MAR 16 1983 <br />Joan Carlson said that another use they would like for <br />the five acres is that of a wild life sanctuary, as the <br />Humane Society is now the only agency that takes in wounded <br />birds, etc. <br />Some discussion ensued as to a long-term lease rather <br />than selling the property, but Mrs. Carlson stressed that <br />the consensus of her Board was that if they were going to <br />invest a large amount of money in their facilities, they <br />should own the land. <br />Commissioner Lyons believed it would be almost <br />impossible to reach an agreement = a lease. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Ions, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Scurlock,°that the <br />Board go on record as being agreeable to <br />the purchase of land by the Humane Society <br />at the South Gifford Road site, with the <br />understanding that the amount of land will <br />be determined after the Humane Society returns <br />with a proposal and a preliminary site plan <br />as to the use of the property, taking into <br />account all the needs of the County for all <br />kinds of animals, with a reverter clause <br />providing for the return of the property when <br />it is no longer used for public purposes. <br />Discussion followed in regard to the price of the <br />purchase. <br />Commissioner Lyons said that we need the Humane Society <br />and they need us and, as far as he was concerned, the price <br />should be $1.00. <br />Commissioner Scurlock felt this would be a way for the <br />County to assist and support the Humane Society in animal <br />control in lieu of budget dollars. <br />22 <br />
