Administrator Wright repeated that staff's recommendation as set out in the memo is that that we talk with everybody who has expressed an interest, look at the site as a whole, try to negotiate a lease that best utilizes the property, which might be a combination of groups, and then bring back a recommendation. Commissioner Wodtke believed that was what we did with Florida Health Center, and Administrator Wright felt that one of the things that must be considered is the entity's ability to pay. Commissioner Bowman wanted to separate the two requests, dealing with the Civic League for the cafetorium and then with any other agencies interested in the other areas of the site. Administrator Wright urged the Board not to separate these issues and close the door on any alternatives because there might be a situation where the Housing Authority would take the entire site and lease back the cafeteria. Vice Chairman Scurlock believed the only way we could accomplish that is by running a big ad in the newspaper and ask everyone who is interested in using this facility to present their requests right here all at one time. Commissioner Wodtke wanted to set a time limit. Administrator Wright agreed on a 60 -day timeframe to develop a conceptual plan for the entire site and come back with a recommendation on who is interested, who can pay, how much they can pay, etc., with the understanding that any demolition will be put on hold in the meantime. Commissioner Wodtke felt that the cafetorium should belong to the public, the Civic League, because it was promised to them many years ago before Florida Health Centers got involved.
