The Chairman called the QUESTION, and the motion failed 3-2 <br />(Commissioners Adams, Macht and Tippin opposed). <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Vice Chairman Ginn, SECONDED <br />BY Commissioner Eggert, to move ahead with the FARBAR <br />option as written removing the same problem areas as in the <br />above FCT motion. <br />The Chairman called the QUESTION, and the motion failed 3- <br />2 (Commissioners Adams, Macht and Tippin opposed). <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Vice Chairman Macht, SECONDED <br />BY Commissioner Adams, for a standard offer identical to past <br />offers for acquisition of environmental properties, in order to <br />avoid requiring a super majority vote and in order to take <br />advantage of offered FCT funds, to offer Lost Tree Village $7.1 <br />million for the purchase of the islands. <br />Under discussion, Commissioner Adams thought that the County ought not to be in <br />the business of making these offers but rather let FCT finish this out. <br />Vice Chairman Macht suggested he could change the motion to recommend to FCT <br />that they increase the offer to that amount. <br />Commissioner Ginn thought that FCT was too removed from Indian River County to <br />understand the strong desire of the locals to purchase these islands. She was very <br />disappointed in how things had moved on this matter. <br />Commissioner Eggert thought they should determine whether FCT would make this <br />offer, because it was her understanding they would not make an offer for anything above the <br />appraisal. <br />Environmental Planning & Code Enforcement Chief Roland M. DeBlois thought that <br />FCT would increase their match by a special vote up to 110°/% in other words 10% above the <br />appraised value. Anything above that would be absorbed by the County. <br />May 26, 1998 <br />47 <br />
