TO: BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS FROM: Charles P. Vitunac, County Attorney DATE: February 12, 1992 RE: FUTURE SALE OF OLD LIBRARY The attached ordinance would place a restriction on the use of any funds which might be realized by the County on any future sale of the old library site. The restriction parallels one put on the deed to the library from the City; however, because of a title problem caused by the restriction, the City released the restriction and quitclaimed the property to the County free and clear. The County accepted this quitclaim deed on February 11, 1992. If the County adopts this ordinance, any proceeds would be used for only books, furniture, and equipment for the new library system. Future County Commissioners would have the power to repeal the ordinance and use the proceeds for any legal purpose. RECONNOMED ACTION: Adopt ordinance and authorize the Chairman to execute it. Chairman Eggert recommended removing the word "new" from the phrase "new library system" because "new" may have a different meaning in the future. Commissioner Bird asked if we need to be specific as to books, furniture and equipment because there may be a need for another site. Chairman Eggert explained that the intent is to specify that these funds are not to be used for construction and site. It also expands the use of these funds for library purposes beyond the main library, so she felt it was necessary to include this language. The Chairman, opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. There being none, she closed the public hearing. ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commissioner Scurlock, the Board unanimously adopted Ordinance 92-07, as amended, placing restrictions on the proceeds from the sale of the old library site, as recommended by staff. 57 boor.
