The Real Estate Division has prepared the necessary Notice of Exchange and County Deed to be executed by the Board in order to affect this exchange.

 

ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS :

The Board has two alternatives:

1. To authorize the Chairman to execute the attached Resolution, authorizing the exchange; and authorize the Chairman to execute the County Deed to transfer the County’s interest in the subject parcel.

2. To deny the request which will result in both parties retaining their existing sites.

RECOMMENDATION AND FUNDING :

The Real Estate Division of the Engineering Services Department recommends the Board approve Alternative No. 1, and direct Secretarial Services to distribute the original executed County Deed to the Real Estate Division, New Port Richey, so the exchange of property may be affected.

No additional funding is required to complete this action.
