E.S.D.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Davis, Seconded by
Commissioner O’Bryan, under discussion, to approve staff’s
recommendation.
Chairman Wheeler discussed closing costs and land that could be subdivided. He had a
problem with the 4½ acres zoned RM-6 property, which seemed like “a big chunk of money.”
Director King did not think the client would accept less.
Commissioner Davis felt it was not the best location, but it does meet a need right now,
and we need to move forward with something. Discussion ensued on whether Sebastian wants
the Fire Station on the east side of the railroad tracks, and whether it was a necessity to have it
there.
Chairman Wheeler thought the price of $215,000.00 per acre for RM-6 was too high.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION, and by a 3-2 vote
(Commissioners Wheeler and Bowden opposed), the Board
approved the vacant land contract in the form presented; and
authorized the Chairman of the Emergency Services District to
sign the vacant land contract, as recommended in the
memorandum of July 1, 2007.
Administrator Baird asked for approval to get an updated appraisal and come back to the
Board in a couple of weeks. The Board agreed.
ALL BACKUP DOCUMENTATION IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD
