purchase he proposed would leave us a little over 1 million <br />still in hand. <br />Community Services Director Thomas noted that the one <br />thing that has not been discussed much through any of the <br />meetings is the development of the park property, and if <br />adjacent property can be obtained through the -Save our Coast <br />Program, it would be much easier to develop one large park <br />than two that are not adjacent. <br />Commissioner Lyons raised the possibility that if <br />Mr. Nutt did not want to sell his property, maybe he would <br />.buy Wabasso Beach Park and we could move further up. <br />Chairman Bird noted this had been mentioned to Mr. <br />Nutt, and he had indicated that he would be happy to buy the <br />park at the price at which the state had appraised his <br />property. <br />Commissioner Lyons felt we would be happy to sell the <br />park at the figure at which Mr. Nutt had valued his <br />property. Some discussion ensued at to whether we would <br />have the right to sell the Wabasso Beach Park property since <br />grant funds were involved. <br />Lengthy discussion continued as to which parcels the <br />Board wished to acquire, and it was felt there should be <br />Motions dealing with each parcel separately. <br />Chairman Bird felt we should go ahead with the Stanny <br />property, and stated that his next choice and that of the <br />committee was Golden Sands. He did not have strong feelings <br />one way or the other about the Erdo or Bell Road patcels, <br />but felt whichever was chosen, we should immediately ask the <br />state to come in and acquire the other piece. <br />Commissioner Scurlock stayed with his original <br />preference which was to acquire the Bell Road, Erdo and <br />Stanny parcels. He felt if we were to buy only one or the <br />other of the Bell Road, Erdo parcels, it would put us in a <br />negative bargaining position in the future. <br />11 <br />5.3 tAc -77 <br />L.
