F, <br />JUN 1 0 1999 <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bird that the Board. <br />of County Commissioners schedule a referendum on the <br />issue of purchasing McKee Jungle Gardens property, <br />with all facts contained within that referendum re <br />restoration, maintenance, financing, etc., to be <br />presented at the earliest possible date, and autho- <br />rize staff to notify the property owner of this <br />intent and continue negotiations with him on the <br />bottom line purchase price of the property. <br />Commissioner Eggert felt the referendum statement should have <br />in it the flexibility that we need to move in several directions <br />on the method of funding, and Commissioner Bird agreed, but noted <br />that his thought now would be a one-year, one-time millage with <br />the idea of looking at short term interfund borrowing to keep the <br />overall purchase price of the property at the lowest level we can. <br />COMMISSIONER EGGERT SECONDED the Motion. <br />Attorney Vitunac recommended that the Motion include bringing <br />back a signed contract from Mr. Ewing subject to the referendum <br />passing and then we can consider the contract and the referendum <br />on the same day, and Commissioners Bird and Eggert agreed to <br />include this in their Motion. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION on the Motion with <br />the additions set out above. <br />It was voted on and carried unanimously. <br />The Board thereupon recessed at 12:07 P.M. for lunch and <br />reconvened at 1:07 P.M. with the same members present. <br />56 <br />
