ACQUISITION OF THE LAND FOR THE NEW COUNTY JAIL <br />Administrator Wright explained that he had met with <br />the Cita of Vero Beach last night regarding the leasing of <br />10 acres adjacent to the property we are considering for the <br />jail site. He reported that the City has conceptually <br />agreed, but there are some hurdles we have to go over and <br />also that we are dealing with the FAA. However, he <br />recommended that Attorney Brandenburg be authorized to <br />proceed with the acquisition of the land for the County <br />Jail. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Scurlock, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Lyons, that the <br />Board authorize Attorney Brandenburg to <br />proceed with the acquisition of the land <br />for the County Jail and to bring the matter <br />back before the Board. <br />In discussion, it was pointed out that it would be a <br />50 -year lease with an option to renew. <br />Attorney Brandenburg advised that there might be some <br />difficulty with the Motion as the City Council has now <br />approved a lease arrangement, rather than agreeing to a sale <br />of the property. We have to formalize the arrangement with <br />the City within the next couple of weeks in order to execute <br />the -contract with Mr. Graves to acquire the 20 acres, and <br />the City Council is not going to meet again until September. <br />Chairman Bird requested that we pursue a lease with an <br />option to purchase, and Commissioners Scurlock and Lyons <br />agreed to add this to their Motion. <br />JUL 2 ® 1983 <br />The Chairman CALLED FOR THE QUESTION <br />with the addition of the request to pursue <br />a lease with an option to purchase. <br />The Motion was carried unanimously. <br />22 <br />54 ;F <br />J <br />
