Resolution #2023-R-57  
COUNTY MANAGER'S REPORT  
Yarborough Property Update  
Mr. Gray provided an update on the Yarborough property. Mr. Anderson from the Southern  
Group has been assisting as they start the pursuit of purchasing the property through Florida  
Forever. He wanted to ensure that if they started the appraisal process that it didn't impede  
the County's ability through the Florida Forever process, and it doesn't so he would like to  
discuss that with the Board. They submitted the application for the Florida Forever Program,  
they were contacted yesterday that the application has been accepted and the County's first  
presentation is June 9th. Staff is preparing for that presentation.  
Mr. Gray stated if the Board would like to move forward with appraisal of the property, they  
can do that. They would use one of the state-approved appraisers. If it goes through the  
Florida Forever process, the County can submit those appraisals to the state and possibly be  
reimbursed for them.  
Motion by Commissioner Zembower, seconded by Commissioner Dallari, to do the appraisal  
and start negotiations with either an MOU or a letter of intent with the owners/the family on  
moving forward with the purchase on behalf of the County.  
Under Discussion, Commissioner Dallari stated he thinks they need to do two appraisals, not  
just one.  
Vice Chairman Herr requested clarification on the second part of the motion and the funding  
source. She cannot support a motion for purchase without any background work or  
information from staff. Commissioner Zembower responded the letter of intent can include a  
funding mechanism if the state is not able to take this down. Discussion ensued. Upon Vice  
Chairman Herr's inquiry, Mr. Gray advised he has not vetted this but he can bring it back.  
Board discussion ensued.  
Mr. Chipok stated he is not sure from a legal standpoint whether entering into an MOU or start  
negotiating with the property owners whether that's going to compromise the Florida Forever  
application, and he cannot say with certainty whether it will or won't. If they want to proceed,  
they are proceeding at their own risk, and it may compromise any standing they have with  
Florida Forever. Staff and legal would like time to research.  
Commissioner Zembower withdrew the motion with the exception of the appraisal and get in  
writing from Tallahassee the answer to these questions.  
Mr. Gray stated they cannot get those answers out of Tallahassee. They have been told that  
it impedes the process and that it could jeopardize the application if they do that. However,  
they don't have it in writing. He can go through the lobbyist again, ask those questions, and  
see if he can get to the right person that can put it in writing. He advised staff is also working  
on a Plan B and can bring that to the Board also. He requested the Board allow him to work  
on that. Discussion ensued.  
Motion by Commissioner Zembower, seconded by Vice Chairman Herr, that the County  
Manager bring back at the next meeting if possible alternatives to Florida Forever as well as  
proceed with an appraisal using one of the state's authorized contractors for appraising the  
property.  
Further discussion ensued. Mr. Gray advised there is a budget work session on June 20th,  
and they have reserved half a day on June 21st because there are other items to be  
discussed. An update could be put on that agenda.  
Chairman Lockhart confirmed the motion is that the County is going to do an appraisal for the  
property and then have an update at the meetings and continue working towards alternatives  
for what might happen if Florida Forever does not come through with funding.  
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.  
Potential Affordable Housing Project  
Mr. Gray stated normally he would bring this up as an agenda item, but there is some due  
diligence going on for a possible affordable housing project that would have to be accessed  
through the County's property. After Ms. Koontz presents the item, if the Board wants to  
continue forward, he will bring it back through the normal process.  
Meloney Koontz, Assistant County Manager, explained last week they met with Kim Fischer  
with Cycorp and Zach Miller with Miller Construction who proposed a plan about a piece of  
property they have a contract on. Ms. Koontz displayed a map (received and file) and showed  
where the County parcel is located and where the parcel Ms. Fischer and Mr. Miller have a  
contract on is located. Ms. Fischer and Miller inquired if there was a way that the County  
could surplus, either give or sell, a portion of the land for a 35-unit workforce development  
property. The remainder parcel would be what Habitat for Humanity might be able to use to  
build an affordable home. Staff is looking to see if the Board has an interest in working with  
them to come up with a solution so they can build those 35 units. Mr. Chipok explained this is  
for input whether staff should be utilizing its time to pursue this further or not. Discussion  
ensued.  
Motion by Commissioner Constantine, seconded by Commissioner Zembower, to allow staff  
to pursue this further.  
Under discussion, Vice Chairman Herr would like it to include the possibility of monetizing the  
piece of property. She doesn't want to maintain it. Commissioner Constantine stated as the  
motioner he wants all possibilities. He does not want to restrict. He wants to give as much  
opportunity to bring back the best deal for the County and workforce. Discussion ensued.  
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.
