I'm good with that answer Robert, If it's something like my issues please post the info here. I still read sowal a lot, but I am working on a lot of paperwork right now. Just because I'm quiet, doesn't mean I'm not working on things.
I'm trying to work on a 40 acre lease for a dollar a year to the county from the state for some public parks instead of spending riduculous amounts of tax money on it.
I hear the county is buying some land for 22,000 and acre in the north end and it borders a commissioners land and belongs to a highly paid county employee's father. This rumor came from Mamie's and is unconfirmed but I'm looking into it. It would be intresting to see the county sell school property in Sandestin for 25k an acre then spend 22k and acre in the north end. The tax roles we pay sure don't reflect that type of property value analysis.Note if you compare the two in this depressed market, the values we see now are about 99 to 2000 values. If we are broke as a county what are we buying land for now?
Good Luck,
Alan
Checked on the ownership thing and so far nothing to it. They are getting another appraisal, the last one was appraising it as an aquifer, not for recreational use. Two more public hearings to go though. The dollars to do it are preservation dollars generated off of developers. So thanks I guess. It is a pretty place.
As far as the other thing, as soon as I can get the county to answer my questions I will post what I find. While it is not dollar bonuses, it is special perks paid to four part time employees that make this thing appear to be very similar to the situation at the Okaloosa Tax Collector's office. So far it appears to have cost us about $50K and grows at about $2K per month.
