a.Acceptance of Finks Farm Road Property(HUD) - HUD is clarifying whether thisproperty can be purchased by the county atthis time. Scheduling of a public hearing forthe sale of both the Finks Farm and Gate 10Road properties is recommended.
b.Acceptance of “Property Between the Fences”at Randolph Park from Pulaski Furniture -Pete Crawford would like to see the transferof approximately one-half acre to the countyprior to his retirement at the end of May. Mr.Coake has determined that the requiredsurvey would cost $800 if done by that date.Given another month, he would be able tosurvey the property himself at no cash cost tothe county. Mr. McCarthy and I recommendpreparation and adoption of all requireddocuments such that the description can beinserted and the transfer recorded when Mr.Coake completes the survey.
c.EMS Week Resolution - Adoption of theresolution is recommended.
3.Review Process for School Building Plan - While theBoard has approved revenue increases necessary tofund the construction of a new school, theconstruction itself has not been approved. I wouldlike to hear how the Board would like to go aboutthis process, assuming modifications are desired.Recommendations for a procedure which might beused include:
a.Presentation by the School Board in publicsession followed by joint discussion ofalternatives by both boards,
b.Holding one or more public meetingsrequesting citizen comments,
