Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final February 7, 2017 <br />County Administrator Brown pointed out that the ball field property was currently <br />being maintained, and that staff had been directed to surplus and dispose of the <br />property. He stated that staffs preference would be to begin the process of selling <br />the property, with the caveat of providing time for the interested parties to develop <br />and bring a business plan back to the Board. <br />A lengthy discussion ensued, with each Commissioner voicing their opinions, <br />making time frame clarifications, and providing their individual preferences <br />concerning the property. Commissioner Adams asked if staff would include in the <br />land trade discussions, a small portion of property that runs along the south side of <br />Sebastian River High School, in order to provide a sidewalk connection to Vero <br />Lake Estates. <br />Laura Zorc, School Board Member for District 3, stated that she was hopeful that <br />the School District would work with the County to negotiate a resolution for the <br />ball field property, and made inquiries about the possibility of Indian River State <br />College being interested in the property. <br />A motion was made by Vice Chairman O'Bryan, seconded by Commissioner Solari, <br />to: (1) direct staff to simultaneously send letters with a formal offer to the School <br />District Staff as well as School Board Members, to include the specific South County <br />parcels discussed in Exhibits "A," "B," and "C", as well as the additional parcel of <br />land along the south side of Sebastian River High School and Vero Lake Estates; and <br />(2) direct staff to offer the ball field parcel for sale in its current state, but not to <br />commence the advertising process until after March 14, 2017. The motion carried by <br />the following vote: <br />Aye: 5- Chairman Flescher, Vice Chairman O'Bryan, Commissioner Adams, Commissioner <br />Solari, and Commissioner Zorc <br />14.
