11.C. SURPLUS REAL PROPERTY FILBERT STREET WWTP CITY OF SEBASTIAN: 1020 OLD DIXIE HIGHWAY: AND LOTf BLOCK j YERO BEACH ESTATES The Board reviewed a Memorandum of October 9, 1998: Date: October 9, 1998 To: Honorable Board of County Commissioners Thru: James E. Chandler County Administrator - From: H T. "Sonny" Dean, D* Department of General Services Subject: Surplus Real Property BACKGROUND: Staff has currently identified three (3) parcels of real property that are in excess of the County's needs. All County Departments have indicated there is not a need for the property in the foreseeable future. This property is listed below and are numbered for identification purposes only. PARCEL DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION 9.08 Acres - Old Utility Water Treatment Plant on Filbert Street in Sebastian 1 Acre Lot - 1020 Old Dixie Highway 50'x 140' Lot - Block 7, Lot 11, Vero Beach Estates, Vero Beach (Has a 10'x 127.5' easement along east boundary line of property) The City of Sebastian has made a request through Commissioner Fran Adams for the first refusal on the Filbert Street property. She, in tum, is requesting that the property be donated, leased ($1 per year) or sold (for $i) to the City of Sebastian Several years ago when the County started auctioning real property the determination was made to use Karlin Daniel and Associates, Inc., due to their experience and success in selling governmental properties. Their effort on behalf of Indian River County has proven to be very successful. This year they participated in and were awarded a governmental contract with Okeechobee County to auction all types of surplus property. In accordance with Indian River County's Purchasing Manual it is proper for the County to "piggy -back" on this contract. Karlin Daniel and Associates, Inc. Have proposed a plan that would include an advertising budget of $2,500 with no up front cost to the County. Their expenses and profit are derived from a " buyers premium" which they collect above and beyond the selling price. Staff makes the following recommendations: 1. Parcels 1 through 3 be declared surplus by the Board 2. Instruct staff on disposal of Parcel Number 1. 3. Authorize these properties to be sold at a public auction under a "reserve format" since the property is owned by a governmental agency. A gross reserve figure of $50,000 is recommended if all three parcels are auctioned and $30,000 if just parcels two and three are auctioned to comply with this type sale. A gross reserve figure would remove price reservations for potential bidders and allow them to establish the fiill market value at the auction. The County Attorney's Office recommends this format to meet all statutory requirements. OCTOBER 27, 1998 -43- 800K 10 7 1ACE °�
