WORK ORDER ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD <br />13. COUNTY ATTORNEY MATTERS <br />I3.A. CONSIDERATION OF PURCHASE OF SURPLUS STATE LAND - FORMER <br />INDIAN RIVER CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTE <br />Deputy County Attorney Bill DeBraal recalled the Board's approval on August 21, 2012 <br />of Resolution 2012-070 proposing to acquire surplus State land at the site of the former Indian <br />River Correctional Institution, subject to the results of a real estate appraisal and other <br />terms/conditions agreed upon by both parties. He reported that the appraisal price lists the 99 - <br />acre facility at $815,000 for the grounds and buildings, minus any improvements, and asked the <br />Board whether they would like to move ahead or pass on the purchase. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Solari, <br />SECONDED by Chairman Flescher, to pass on the <br />purchase of the surplus State land at the site of the former <br />Indian River Correctional Institution. <br />Discussion ensued regarding several issues that would factor into the Board's decision: <br />(1) the possibility that the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will approve the <br />proposed I-95 Oslo Road Interchange and how that might affect the future capacity of the subject <br />site (2) whether a company who has expressed interest in the former Calpine site might prefer <br />the larger State site; (3) that asbestos might be found in the facility, in which case a reappraisal <br />would have to be done and approved by the State; and (4) whether a 45 to 60 -day delay could be <br />requested from the State to allow time for the Board to find out the status of the I-95 Oslo Road <br />Interchange, and to see if the above -referenced company is still considering the County as a <br />possible business location. <br />August 20, 2013 57 <br />BK !44 PG 235 <br />
