City Clerk Janet R. Dougherty
Mayor Kuhn reconvened the meeting at 4 PM for consideration of additional information regarding the first
reading of Ordinance No. 4013 and adoption of Resolution No. 2056 relating to a bond election for the Public Safety Complex.
City Manager Yehl reported that he has been in contact with the Department of Agriculture and the City
Attorney's office and believes that there is still interest in conveyance of the property, however, there is no easy way to do so,
and recommended that no referendum be held in November and that further consideration be given to exploring the feasibility
of securing the property from the Department of Agriculture through Legislative means once the Florida Legislature convenes
in January. Before taking it to the Legislature, it is necessary that the local Legislative delegation support the proposal because
it may ultimately require an appropriation from the Governor's Office for either a grant or in kind contribution for the City to
purchase the property from the State.
Commissioner Woodruff asked whether options can be considered with the other sites. Mr. Yehl said that a
presentation can be made at the next Work Session regarding the other sites and the Commission can decide whether to
authorize options on the properties or proceed with some other process.
The Commission took no action. Mayor Kuhn said that the referendum will not be placed on the November
ballot.
Planning and Development Services Director Russ Gibson said that regarding the property at 25th Street and
Hwy. 17-92 discussed at the meeting on August 28, the information has been provided for the September 11,2006 Agenda.
Mr. Yehl said that he distributed additional information regarding the lien waiver request for 509 E. 6th Street,
however, it can be deferred to the next meeting, as Ms. Jones is not present.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 4:23 PM.
