JUN 2 5 1966 BOOK 64 Par 827 <br />Commissioner Wodtke reviewed the history of this situation <br />whereby some years back a former County Commission authorized the <br />Cemetery Association to utilize certain land, and then found that <br />particular piece of property was some that came to us through the <br />State of Florida and had a use stipulation that had to be <br />removed. He then went over the steps followed in the long <br />process of trying to accomplish this and noted the Commission <br />authorized a piece of land twice the size of what we were going <br />to use to be offered in exchange for that reverter. As time went <br />on, however, we went into a change of staff and attorneys and <br />somehow files were misplaced. We now have been back to <br />:a <br />Tallahassee, backtracking their files, maps, etc., and Attorney <br />Vitunac asked that this be brought back to the Board for his <br />staff to be given direction to proceed as we originally wanted to <br />proceed. Commissioner Wodtke explained that the property we are <br />going to give the state a reverter, or a use restriction on, is <br />part of the property we are going to have the golf course on. <br />This will not have any effect on the golf course, however, since <br />the reverter right only applies in the event the property is not <br />used for recreational purposes, and the golf course is already <br />there. <br />Commissioner Bird asked if the Cemetery Association actually <br />needs that big a piece of property for expansion of the cemetery. <br />Commissioner Wodtke explained that this is the only place in <br />the county available for pauper burial, and he believed the <br />cemetery will eventually utilize that entire piece of land. He <br />continued that he is asking for reconcurrence of our intentions <br />and permission for the attorney's staff and himself to proceed on <br />with this swapping of reverters. <br />Attorney Barkett clarified that this was part of a tract <br />that was donated by the DNR, and staff needs authorization to <br />apply to the DNR and the Department of Interior to encumber one <br />piece of property and unencumber another. <br />50 <br />
