07— <br />7EOOK I� IAGE , <br />TO: JOE BAIRD, ASSISTANT COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR <br />TERRY O'BRIEN, ACTING COUNTY ATTORNEY <br />DATE: MARCH 6, 2000 <br />SUBJECT: COUNTY LEASES <br />FROM: ED FRY, FINANCE DIRECTOR <br />I have attached a summary list of County leases and licenses and a Solid Waste Disposal lease. <br />This list was derived from my review of the index to the Board minutes with the assistance of the <br />ladies in the Clerk to the Board office. Please let me know if there are any leases or licenses that <br />you are aware of that I have not included. Also let me know if I have included leases or licenses <br />that are no longer in effect.

For all other payments, we will <br />research our records to insure that all of the payments are current. <br />After your review of this information, please let me know if it is correct or needs to be amended. <br />I will then send this summary, with additional information as to the property being leased and the <br />organization leasing the property, to the State Department of Revenue. <br />Ralph C. Turner, Jr., President of Perfection Trusses, advised that his recent bill <br />from the State of Florida for sales tax is $15,559.52. He recounted that former County <br />Attorney Charles P. Vitunac and former Utilities Director Terry Pinto had reviewed the lease <br />he had with the County and he had been advised there would be no sales tax on the leased <br />property. He had no reason to challenge their opinion. He was looking for some relief from <br />the County in the amount of taxes owed to the State. <br />In responding to Vice Chairman Ginn's inquiry, Administrator Chandler stated that <br />Mr. Pinto had been involved in this matter earlier because the County acquired the property <br />in conjunction with the Landfill. <br />Assistant Administrator Joseph Baird advised that he had not been involved (as the <br />former Budget Director) at the beginning of this lease.
