That the Board either approve or deny by super majority vote:

A. The purchase of three contiguous parcels of real property (totaling approximately 40 acres) located at 10836 Lillian Highway for the higher of the two appraisals, at a value of $1,235,000, from RL REGI Florida, LLC, for a Public Boat Ramp Facility, in accordance with the terms and conditions contained in the Agreement for Sale and Purchase of Property;

C. The authorization for the County Attorney's Office to prepare, and the Chairman or Vice Chairman to execute, any documents, subject to Legal review and sign-off, necessary to complete the acquisition of this property without further action of the Board.

The acquisition of this property is funded by the Florida Boating Improvement Program and Local Option Sales Tax (LOST).  Current planned improvements at the Lillian Highway Ramp (RL REGI Florida, LLC, property) are being funded by National Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA); future further improvements to the Lillian Highway property will require Grant funding or future LOST funds.

RL REGI, Florida, LLC, owns three contiguous parcels of real property totaling approximately 40 acres located at 10836 Lillian Highway which has frontage on Perdido Bay.  The owners listed the property for sale for $1,900,000.  Staff obtained an appraisal performed by G. Daniel Green & Associates, Inc., dated February 27, 2012, which valued the property at $910,000.  Pursuant to Board policy, when property is valued at more than $250,000, two appraisals are required.  Staff obtained another appraisal, performed by Brantley & Associates, dated May 1, 2012, which valued the property at $1,235,000.  The average of the two appraisals is $1,072,500.  The owners were not amenable to accepting the average price of the two appraisals and countered with an offer of $1,235,000.  The owners indicated that they are firm on this price and are not amenable to accepting less.
