Background:
The County has a responsibility to perform public infrastructure projects or improvements (“County Improvements”) which benefit the community. On April 22, 2025, the Board adopted Resolution No. 2025-R-25 establishing a process to identify private property needed for the completion of County Improvements (“Identified Properties”) and to clear the title for the Identified Properties. This will allow the County to acquire the necessary legal rights to benefit the community by moving projects for County Improvement projects forward more efficiently and avoid eminent domain proceedings or other arduous and timely procedures.
The County has identified the need to correct a scrivener’s error in the evaluation criteria established in Resolution No. 2025-R-25 to properly effectuate the intent of the program. The sole change to the evaluation criteria established by Resolution No. 2025-R-25 is in Section 4 (c) of this Resolution, which has been corrected to provide if the Identified Property has a code enforcement lien resulting from statutory attachment pursuant to Section 162.09(3), Florida Statutes, the Identified Property (rather than the Violation Property) must be in full compliance with the Seminole County Code.
This corrective Resolution shall automatically sunset and terminate concurrently with the sunset of and termination of Resolution No. 2025-R-25. At the Board’s direction, the program may be extended by Resolution of the Board or established as an official policy in the County’s Administrative Regulations.
To ensure clarity, this Resolution restates the entire program policy, as revised.
Requested Action:
