Chairman Ginn inquired about the taxes on the property, and General Services <br />Director Tom Frame stated that Ross Small World is a non-profit entity. <br />Director Frame continued that the County would not absorb any costs. The property <br />has been used by the Head Start Program since 1973 and the County has expended no funds <br />during that time. We will hook up to the water system but, other than that, the County has <br />no responsibility for any other costs. Also the County will be able to go in and coordinate <br />any historical improvements if the historical grant is received. <br />Chairman Ginn then questioned the language on Page 79 referring to "rehabilitation <br />and expansion" and wanted to know if any expansion would affect the historical value of the <br />building. <br />Director Frame stated that he had simply used language from a previous lease and any <br />work would be supervised by a design professional. The reference to "expansion" could be <br />deleted. <br />Commissioner Adams also noted that the lease requires the lessee to come to the <br />lessor for permission to do anything to the building. <br />Commissioner Stanbridge commented that the building is a possible candidate for a <br />grant and connecting to the water system would be the County's match and would also be <br />an advantage to stabilization of the building. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Stanbridge, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, the Board <br />unanimously adopted Resolution 2001-042 <br />approving a lease of County property to Ross Small <br />World Incorporated (Pleasant Ridge School [Winter <br />Beach School], 6500 Old Dixie Highway). <br />APRIL 10, 2001 <br />-37- <br />832 <br />
