DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
Six resolutions are presented for Board approval for the acquisition of interests in real property as to which we have not yet been able to acquire by negotiations. The resolutions would still cover acquisitions by negotiation, based on binding offers from the County for up to 120% of the full compensation values determined by our appraiser. If negotiations are unsuccessful, then the Resolutions authorize proceeding with acquisition by eminent domain. Florida Statutes require the adoption of a resolution authorizing acquisition of property by eminent domain, and these resolutions will satisfy that requirement.
BUDGET/IMPACT:
Budget impact is currently indeterminate, but will be initially based on the County’s appraisals. If litigation is required, the final value determinations will be made by a jury trial, and the County will be responsible for statutory attorney fees and expert costs as well
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Recommended action
Board Motion to approve the attached Resolutions and authorize the Chairman and the Clerk of Court to execute same.
