Old Business:
1. Barrancas Property – Chief Mickuleit states the property is almost cleaned out and Linda has created a packet we will give out if anyone is interested (copy on file). Discussion follows in regards to if the advertisement can be changed; however, 3 of the 4 in attendance don’t want to change the date. Brief discussion from Mr. Pritt in regards to RFP follows.
2. Additional Station 4 Property – Commissioner Cox states he has nothing to report she is not ready to accept our proposal. Commissioner Player states that the property between Pompano and the chamber perhaps is going to be up for sale approximately 1 acre so there is another option. Brief discussion follows in regards to benefit of that property for the district. Consensus of the board is to have Chief Cox check into acquiring the property mentioned by Commissioner Player as he did with the other properties to make offer that would be contingent upon board approval.
2. Interlocal Agreement Burgess Island – Consensus of the Board is to have this removed until Burgess Island approaches us.
