Board of County Commissioners <br />Meeting Minutes - Final January 22, 2019 <br />agreement, and appraisals would be used to determine the fair market value and <br />the purchase price. <br />City of Vero Beach Councilmember Tony Young provided his thoughts <br />regarding collaboration between the City and the County and being supportive <br />of one another for the good of the community. He spoke of his stewardship to <br />the City and the protection of the historic 37 acres of land, known as <br />Dodgertown Golf Course. Following a request by Chairman Solari, <br />Councilmember Young agreed to request that the City Clerk add this topic, a <br />revised offer from the County to purchase the Dodgertown Golf Course <br />Property, to the next agenda of the City Council. <br />Although all members of the Board were in favor of the land purchase, Vice <br />Chairman Adams voiced her concerns about the possibility that the City was <br />not seeing the County's vision and that the City was not interested in selling the <br />Property. <br />Joseph Paladin addressed the Board to offer his continued support for the <br />purchase of the former golf course property. <br />County Administrator Jason Brown requested direction from Councilmember <br />Young with regard to transmitting the offer to the City. Administrator Brown <br />agreed to send the revised offer packet to City Manager Jim O'Connor's <br />attention. A discussion ensued on the County's attendance at the February 5, <br />2019 Vero Beach City Council meeting. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Flescher, seconded by Chairman Solari, to <br />direct staff to prepare the refined offer to purchase 37 acres of land, formerly <br />known as Dodgertown Golf Course, from the City of Vero Beach. The motion <br />carried by the following vote: <br />Aye: 5 - Chairman Solari, Vice Chairman Adams, Commissioner Flescher, Commissioner <br />O'Bryan, and Commissioner Zorc <br />D.
