The subject property is one of three <br />"core" parcels of the homestead of Paul Kroegel, the first wildlife warden of the Pelican Island National <br />Wildlife Refuge (PINWR), the nation's first refuge. At the October meeting, the Board voted to <br />conceptually approve purchase of the Rodney Kroegel property, conditioned upon staff finding funds for <br />the purchase. On January 22, 2002, the Board amended the County Land Acquisition Guide and approved <br />use of environmental land bond funds for the purchase, at a price of $400,000 or the appraised value, <br />whichever is less (see attached minutes excerpt). <br />May 14, 2002 <br />22 <br />• <br />
