APR 101990 BOOK 79 pr,;E Attorney Vitunac interjected that actually we are not trying to get the cemetery land released, we have to buy other land and swap for it. Administrator Chandler informed the Board that we hope to have a determination this week from CIBA-Geigy. We have options up through the end of this month on about 40 acres west of King's Highway. Discussion continued about the 3 sites that were looked at, and Chairman Eggert commented that her understanding had been that if we were to purchase the CIBA-Geigy site, that could be declared recreational and part of the Hobart land could be declared unrecreational and be used, and Commissioner Scurlock stated that was exactly what his proposal was - to look at acquisition of the CIBA-Geigy property and we would take that into future plans for the development of the golf course; we would contact the state and get them to release a like amount of public property that has deed restrictions on it; and, therefore, we get a free piece of property that we could build a plant on. Director Pinto emphasized that what staff is saying is that what is proposed is the location we like best; however, if the Park wants to deed us some land in that same area, that would be fine. Commissioner Scurlock continued to discuss the possibility of a swap of properties and did not see why the state would not trade a 10 acre site for a 40 acre site. Administrator Chandler confirmed that we are pursuing the 40 acres from CIBA-Geigy to square off the Park property, and Commissioner Scurlock asked why we have not pursued the option he is talking about to get a site for the water plant. Chairman Eggert suggested that we table this matter until we can hear about the CIBA-Geigy property. Director Pinto asked if we could do both things, pursue what has been discussed, but in the meantime give him authorization to talk with the owners of the property he proposed about price. 80 _ M M
