As stated above, relocation to the Daniels tract, if cost effective, would benefit the City. This request will be funded by Administrative Professional Services. The request is for Commission approval of the final draft of the attached survey questions. Per the contract with the survey consultant, the City must approve a final draft of the questionnaire by July 23, 1997. Pursuant to input from the Commission at the July 15 meeting as well as from the City's consultant, modifications have been made to the questionnaire.
Staff recommends approval of the questionnaire.
The City has been working with the School District and the County to get a Juvenile Justice Center in Osceola County. If you recall, the City Water Resources Department has excess property on Fortune Road that we were willing to donate for the juvenile center. The residents on Fortune Road did not want it in their neighborhood, so the City agreed to swap the Fortune Road property for an equal amount of the School District's property at TECO on Simpson Road across from the jail. After getting appraisals on both properties, the School Board has decided they don't want the Fortune Road property. However, they do want the Juvenile Justice Center, so the Board voted last Tuesday to go ahead and give the City the Simpson Road property now, so we can lease it to the State as quickly as possible.
