BACKGROUND:

The County has a project in design to make roadway and stormwater drainage improvements within the Kupfrian Park area. The purchase of these properties would help facilitate the stormwater pond needed for improvements in this area.

County staff offered a purchase amount of $25,500.00, which equates to the appraised value of $40,500.00 less $15,000.00 for the cost of demolition of the existing structures (two mobile homes and one concrete building). The counter offer increased the original offer by $3,750.00 in order to accommodate the seller's intent to cover the realtor fee.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

Funding for this acquisition is available in Fund 352 "LOST III", Cost Center 210107/56101/Project #10EN0433

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS/SIGN-OFF:

PERSONNEL:

All work associated with this acquisition is being done in-house and no additional staff is required.

POLICY/REQUIREMENT FOR BOARD ACTION:

These actions are consistent with the provisions of Section 46-139 of the Escambia County Code of Ordinances.
