I <br />BUUK <br />83 FAGS 746 <br />Commissioner Scurlock reported that the LAAC looked at this. <br />property but it did not meet their criteria, and at that meeting <br />it was suggested it might of interest to the county for something <br />else. Also at the LAAC meeting, they decided to do a referendum <br />in November of 1992, and the serious concern was that we don't <br />have any money in our current budget or proposed in next year's <br />budget to attempt to secure some of the properties on our list <br />that do meet the Comp Plan requirements and that may be under <br />threat of development.

Although the subject <br />property is a nice piece of property, and it is adjacent to the <br />Fairgrounds, he believed this $400,000 could be better used to <br />bring us in compliance. <br />Chairman Bird noted that looking at this from his standpoint <br />as Chairman of the Parks & Recreation Committee, he believed the <br />property is valuable, but looking at it as a County Commissioner, <br />he agreed it is a matter of priorities. <br />Administrator Chandler confirmed that we just don't have the <br />money this year, and Commissioner Scurlock felt in fairness to <br />the seller, they may be better off marketing the property else- <br />where than waiting for the county. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com- <br />missioner Scurlock, the Board unanimously (3-0) <br />agreed not to follow staff recommendation and not <br />to pursue either option to acquire the subject <br />property. <br />OSLO ROAD PROPERTY PURCHASE <br />Administrator Chandler made the staff presentation, as <br />follows: <br />156 <br />
