GENERAL ITEMS

9. APPROVAL OF DEED FOR THE LIME LAKE PARK PARCEL TO SARASOTA COUNTY

Description
Sarasota County Government desires to combine a parcel of School Board land located on the southern boundary of Emma E. Booker Elementary which extends into Lime Lake and a County owned park parcel adjacent to the school parcel and develop a community park called Lime Lake Park.  The School Board is willing to donate the School Board parcel to the County subject to terms and conditions set forth in the deed for the property.

10. APPROVAL OF CONTRACT TO PURCHASE A PARCEL ACROSS ORANGE AVENUE FROM BOOKER HIGH SCHOOL

Description

At its May 18, 2010, meeting the School Board approved a contract to exchange property, including an additional payment of $10,000.00, at the intersection of Orange Avenue and 35th Street.  The transaction was necessary as part of the Booker High School rebuild in order to save the project considerable costs and to improve the bus loop and parking for the theatre.  Staff had already successfully negotiated the contract with the willing seller.

Subsequently, the transaction could not be closed due to complications with the subject parcels.  Those details have since been resolved, and the transaction remains the best option to acquiring the necessary property.  The attached contract rescinds the prior contract and increases the additional payment to $15,300.00.

Recommendation
That the School Board approve the contract to purchase the property at 1613 35th Street, Sarasota.
