MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED by Commissioner Eggert, that the Board authorize eminent domain proceedings to acquire the right-of- way on 26th Street owned by Frank Bates Grove, Inc., as recommended by staff. Under discussion, Mr. Tippin strongly recommended that we keep a careful watch on legislation being proposed this session to limit the way counties have been raped over the years in condemnation proceedings. He felt it would behoove us to very actively support such legislation when it comes forth. He knew Florida Association of Counties is pushing for it diligently. Commissioner Adams just hated to begin eminent domain proceedings without going to further negotiations with the owners. She requested that this item be tabled for 2-3 weeks so that she could have a chance to talk with Administrator Chandler and Attorney Vitunac about trying some other avenues. Director Davis suggested that perhaps in cases such as this one where we encounter a deadlock a Board member could sit in on a mediation meeting with the owners or their representatives. COMMISSIONERS MACHT AND EGGERT WITHDREW THEIR MOTION ON THE FLOOR. ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by Commissioner Macht, the Board unanimously (4-0, Chairman Bird being absent) tabled this item for three weeks.
