BOOK 94 FACE 634 <br />BACKGROUND: <br />The Department of Utiltiy Ser9kes has requested a lot owned by them, <br />located in Gifford on 47th Street to be declared surplus and sold. <br />Florida State Statues 125.35 provides for the sale of surplus public <br />property by sealed bids after proper advertisement. <br />ANALYSIS: <br />A survey of all County Departments was made to ascertain whether or <br />not this property could be used in the future for their individual <br />operations. All responses indicated the land was of no value within <br />their responsibility. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS: <br />Based on the fact the County has no need for this property staff <br />recommends it be declared surplus. It is also requested that <br />authorization be granted to proceed with sale to the public in <br />accordance with state statues. <br />Commissioner Adams questioned whether the subject property was <br />acquired by tax certificate and Administrator Chandler responded <br />that the property is a portion of the old Gifford Wastewater Plant <br />which is no longer being used. The County has no need for this <br />property. <br />Commissioner Adams then questioned whether there were any <br />ponds on the property and if the possibility of using the property <br />for a park had been considered. <br />Commissioner Bird believed that the parcel is too small for <br />use as a park and noted that Gifford Park is quite near. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Eggert, the Board by a 4-0 vote <br />(Commissioner Tippin being absent) declared the lot <br />owned by the Department of Utility Services on 47th <br />Street in Gifford to be surplus property and <br />authorized staff to proceed with a sale to the <br />public in accordance with state statutes, as <br />recommended by staff.. <br />MARCH 21, 1995 8 <br />
