• TO: Board of County Commissioners FROM: Lea R. Keller, CLA, Legal Assistant THROUGH: „W.Iliam G. Collins II, Deputy County Attorney DATE: INS July 24, 2000 SUBJECT: Children's Home Society Land Parcel Located on Oslo Road 1. In 1991 the Board of County Commissioners deeded the subject parcel to the Children's Home Society of Florida and the Society paid the County $25,000. The County Deed contained a condition that the Society would build and maintain a shelter for runaway children within a certain period of time. No shelter was built on the subject parcel. 2. In 1995 the Board granted a five-year extension to the Society. At that time a modified conveyance was provided stating that should the Society fail to build within the extended time period the County could record a resolution declaring a failure of a condition of the conveyance of the property, return the $25,000 within ten days of recording, and the property would revert to the County. 3. In July of 1999 the Board approved the Society's request to sell the subject parcel with the County being given the right of first refusal should the Public Works Department need the parcel for storm -water retention. No action was ever taken to implement that action. 4. The Public Works Department has determined that the parcel is necessary for Oslo Road storm -water retention. On March 21, 2000, the Board approved exercising the County's rights under the modified deed to pay the Society $25,000 and retake possession of the parcel. We have been advised that a representative of the Children's Home Society would like to appear and speak at the Board of County Commissioners' meeting today. Recommendation: Adopt and record the attached resolution and arrange payment of the $25,000 to the Children's Home Society within ten days of recording. Attachment: Resolution August 1, 2000 97 BK 114 PG 437
