Commissioner Eggert inquired if their HRS funding comes <br />through District 9, and Dr. Borchers stated that it is under the <br />HRS total state budget. <br />Commissioner Bowman asked how many runaways they hope to <br />accommodate, and Dr. Borchers advised they hope to have a 10 bed <br />facility. They only have an 8 bed in Palm Beach, and they serve <br />about 500 kids a year there. About 20% are out-of-state runaways, <br />but 80% are local kids. She explained that the youngsters don't <br />usually stay that long. They also counsel the parents. <br />Discussion resumed regarding having a reverter clause, and <br />Commissioner Bird noted that he just wanted them to have a <br />reasonable amount of time to complete their project. He had no <br />problem with what is planned, but he did have a problem with the <br />price and asked if they are limited to that amount. <br />Dr. Borchers commented that in some instances, counties have <br />provided the land for their runaway center as they see it as a <br />public responsibility. <br />Commissioner Scurlock noted that if we are going to set a <br />lower value than what he feels the market conditions are, what he <br />would like to see is a provision that it would be conveyed back <br />to the County at the original purchase price in the event the <br />property ever ceased to be used for this purpose. <br />Dr. Borchers had a question about the possibility of having <br />offices in their complex to counsel pregnant teens and women and <br />work with teen parents, and wished to know if those functions <br />also meet the criteria for use of the property. <br />Commissioner Eggert believed any office would have to be in <br />the front 6001, which is zoned limited commercial. She believed <br />the group house for 8 could be in the back, but Planner Boling <br />pointed out that area is zoned RS -6. <br />Commissioner Scurlock felt the only other concern is any <br />impact on the surrounding property and acceptance by the neigh- <br />bors, i.e., Timber Ridge Tennis Ranch. <br />-. <br />AUG 1 41 mor 1 F i c. 6FJ I <br />' <br />
