APR 31990 Boos 79 mu -1741 there seems to be some significant distortions in terms of what occurred at that time. He was on the Commission back then and remembers Mr. Levy. Mr. Levy was somewhat confused because Mr. Baird was the individual who took him out to view the site. This gentleman bought the property sight unseen and became extremely ecstatic when he saw some improvements thinking they had value, but became depressed after it was obvious that it actually was going to be a negative to have those structures on that particular property. Commissioner Scurlock failed to understand why this Commission got defensive at the last meeting and felt like they were somehow at fault since Mr. Levy should have had the property surveyed himself so that he would have been assured that he had clear, clean title and known what it was he was buying. However, for some reason, Mr. Levy switched the burden all of a sudden to the Commission. Commissioner Scurlock emphasized that Mr. Levy buys property all over Florida, and bought this sight unseen. Mr. Levy was ecstatic when he saw the improvements that were on the property until he found that it was going to cost him some money to remove them. So, those are the facts, and he was here at that time, and remembers Mr. Levy. Mr. Levy wished to respond to that, and stated that everything Commissioner Scurlock just said was a false statement that they do go all over the state and buy property and that they don't survey property when they put in a bid. They submit bids several hundred timesa year, and if we survey property... At this point Commissioner Scurlock interjected that he didn't say they had surveyed it, he said they should have surveyed it. Mr. Levy maintained that Commissioner Scurlock made a false statement when he said they didn't see the property, but Commissioner Scurlock interjected again that it was Mr. Levy who had told him that. 14
