JAS?i 19 <br />BOOK 70 FA'GE 646 <br />The Board indicated that they are supportive of the problem <br />being looked into and handled, but continued to express doubt <br />that Mr. McCann could be correct that the intent was to go for <br />cabinet -level status at this time, which they could not support. <br />Mr. McCann stated that he would research that and come back. <br />Salvatore J. Suma, came before the Board representing the <br />DAV, and spoke at length of the great need for another VA' <br />hospital on the east coast of Florida, or at least a clinic. He <br />also spoke of the fact that the local DAV has no home, and begged <br />the Board to support the veterans. <br />Chairman Scurlock believed the Board has indicated they are <br />supportive of the veterans and will table this matter until <br />Veterans Service Officer McCann brings back further information. <br />MONTGOMERY PROPERTY SETTLEMENT IN LIEU OF EMINENT DOMAIN <br />Administrator Balczun reviewed the following memos: <br />TO: Board of County Commissioners DATE: January 13, 1988 FILE: <br />FROM: <br />Charles P. Balczun <br />County Administrator <br />SUBJECT: <br />REFERENCES: <br />MONTGOMERY PROPERTY <br />ACQUISITION - FINAL <br />SETTLEMENT IN LIEU OF <br />EMINENT DOMAIN <br />A settlement in lieu of trial has been offered by the attorney representing <br />the owner of certain property immediately north of the County <br />Administration Building to be acquired by the County. <br />On March 23, 1987 the property was deeded to the County for some $23,000 <br />based on the value established by the County's appraiser subject to future <br />adjustment to be determined by eminent domain proceedings. The settlement <br />proposed an additional amount of $29,842.50 be paid by the County for <br />settlement in lieu of eminent domain proceedings. <br />The proposal, if accepted by the Board of County Commissioners, would bring <br />total acquisition costs to $52,842.50. Mrs. Montgomery's appraiser valued <br />the property at $52,000. <br />Staff recommends acceptance of the proposed settlement inasmuch as costs <br />resulting from eminent domain proceedings are estimated to range from <br />-$6,500 to $8,500. We see nothing to gain from a trial in this matter. <br />Funds are available and are budgeted for this purpose. <br />86 <br />
