BOOK4ldD <br />JUL I As <br />Chairman Scurlock stated that he did not want to buy <br />anything unless we sell our lots in Indian River Shores. <br />Commissioner Wheeler expressed interest in purchase of the <br />Lowenstein property. He felt it is a prime piece of property and <br />that we should move on it while we continue to work on selling <br />the other property. <br />Commissioner Bird was all in favor of acquiring all the <br />beachfront we can afford, but noted that the absolute top <br />priority of the Parks & Recreation Committee is to acquire the 80 <br />acres on Oslo Road. If we have funds to do that and still <br />purchase this property, that would be fine. <br />Commissioner Eggert felt possibly we should table until we <br />have the cost of the 80 acres. <br />Commissioner Wheeler continued to stress that this is a <br />prime piece of property that completes a lengthy piece of <br />property along the beach, and he felt it would be a big mistake <br />not to acquire it. <br />County Attorney Vitunac advised that this is budgeted in <br />next year's budget, and he believed it is substantially under the <br />market price. <br />Commissioner Bird agreed it is unquestionably a good price, <br />but just did not want it to negatively affect our ability to <br />_ purchase the Oslo property. <br />Chairman Scurlock noted that if we can dispose of our <br />property by the Tracking Station Park, that will raise some <br />funds. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Com- <br />missioner Bird, the Board unanimously approved pro- <br />ceeding on to buy the Lowenstein property in the next <br />budget year on or after October 1, 1987. <br />84 <br />
