Resolution 14-2645 — Contract for Purchase and Sale of Surplus Property at Sportsman's Paradise — Parcel #09-21-30-513M-OA00-00P 1 "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF CASSELBERRY, FLORIDA, APPROVING EXECUTION OF A CONTRACT FOR THE SALE AND PURCHASE OF SURPLUS PROPERTY AND A QUITCLAIM DEED TO JOHN A. ZACCO; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS, SEVERABILITY AND EFFECTIVE DATE." Introduction: Resolution 14-2645 determines that the property located at Sportsman's Paradise, parcel #09- 21-30-5BM-OA00-00P 1 is no longer useful or needed as a public park or access way to a public park and that it is in the public interest that said property be abandoned and vacated as a public park and as public property and be designated as surplus property; approves the sale of said property for the amount of $4,800.00 to John A Zacco; and authorizes the Mayor to execute a Contract for Purchase and Sale and a Quitclaim Deed on behalf of the City. Budget Impact: Upon approval of this agenda item, the General Fund Disposition of Fixed Assets/Sale of Land revenue account #001-0000-364.43-00 will increase in the amount of $4,800.00. As this is an increase in revenue with no associated expenditures, there is no budgetary impact. Recommendation: The City Manager and the community Development Director recommended approval of Resolution 14-2645. Discussion: Discussion ensued regarding whether or not there were mineral rights on the property which may affect the sale. Ms. Reischmann clarified that the City had been in contact with Dr. Zacco's title company on an unrelated issue; however nothing had been brought up relating to mineral rights. She and Mr. Newlon further explained that the title company had been provided with a copy of the resolution passed by the Commission which authorized the sale of the property as surplus, and that if Resolution 14-2645 was approved at tonight's meeting, it would authorize the execution of the contract and the deed, and the deed would relinquish any rights the City had to the property. Vice Mayor Hufford expressed some concerns about what she considered to be an irregularity in the process the Commission had followed in removing Item C from the Consent Agenda and a discussion ensued regarding the procedure which should be followed when item is removed from the Consent Agenda for separate consideration and discussion.
