Can one of you real estate people enlighten me about this piece of land? Do these sort of things show up as comps for determining other values? With money as tight as it is $550K seems like an awful lot when no one has said what we are going to do with it.

Thanks for the tip.


I can usually follow along on these things, but this deed is for a piece of property in a whole different area of the county than the the Miraramar piece.


In the executive session it was clearly stated on more than one occasion that the insurance company would not be participating in this Bert Harriss claim. It is all on the county. They are hoping to sell the land to FDOT for a retention pond. I am hearing talk of a section 8 housing project on it though.

Maybe I don't have enough experience in the FDOT retention area's. It doesn't look like a qualified property to me from an engineering point of view. I'd be interested to see who brought that idea up as a potential use. It may have been a deflection or red herring.

Thanks

When I get back to one of my computers I will post the minutes from the sessions, I believe the idea was mentioned by the county attorney, Burke.

One of my favorite quotes of all time:

Bert Harris claims are excluded by the insurance carrier.

$550,000 straight out of the "Land Account" (per Pennington with the Clerk's Office) of the BCC. In other words straight out of the taxpayers pocket.

We have several cases either under litigation or in the process of being filed that are very similar in nature (Bert Harris claims).

Time will tell but from what I have seen, all of them have good chances of getting a favorable jury verdict, if the county doesn't settle before hand.

So in other words a broke county is about to go bankrupt?

So they lied in the meeting where it said if they settle then the insurance would cover some of the bill. The Min. said 1/3 of the bill. Is this not True??????

I read this twice again. It is astounding to me that while the BCC was negotiating what they might do to who and talking about baiting, etc. that none of them cleared up the issue of whether they had insurance coverage for the settlement.

Someone smarter than me said:

Where the liability of a person for their debts is eroded, it brings the relationship to borrowed money even closer to the relationship that can be observed between elected officials in government--who have little or no accountability attached to the money they have charge over--and tax revenues.

As of 12/18 the insurance company has not made any payment to the county that I am aware of.
