Agenda 04/10/2012 Item #16K14/10/2012 Item 16.K.1. Executive Summary Recommendation to approve an Agreed Order Awarding Expert Fees in connection with Parcels 110FEE and 110TCE in the lawsuit styled Collier County v. A L Subs, Inc., et al., Case No. 09- 3691 -CA, Collier Boulevard Project No. 60092 (Fiscal Impact: $9,953.75). OBJECTIVE: That the Board of County Commissioners approve payment of expert fees associated with the acquisition of Parcels 110FEE and 110TCE in the lawsuit styled Collier County v. A L Subs, et. al., Case No. 09- 3691 -CA. CONSIDERATIONS: On December 13, 2011, the Board of County Commissioners approved a Stipulated Final Judgment in settlement of these parcels. The primary issues in this case were construction of a driveway to Beck Boulevard on the adjacent Circle K property, and the non- conforming one -foot landscape buffer along Beck Boulevard that may remain after the taking until the site is combined with another lot or the owner voluntarily elects to remove the building and redevelop the site. Pursuant to Section 73.091 (1), Florida Statutes, the County is required to pay reasonable expert fees and expenses incurred in the defense of this matter. Staff recommends payment of the following fees: Janus & Curran (business damages) $4,533.75 Realmark Research, Inc. (parking analysis) $3,920.00 Intracoastal Builders Corporation (construction costs) $1,500.00 TOTAL $9,953.75 the terms of which are set out in the Agreed Order Awarding Expert Fees attached as Exhibit "A ". Staff has reviewed the expert fees as set forth in the Agreed Order and considers them to be reasonable in light of the statutory requirements as to costs and fees imposed upon the condemning authority. If the County goes to a cost hearing, the County is not required to pay the expert that is requesting the fee, but the County is required to pay reasonable fees of any experts that are retained by owner to testify as to the reasonableness of the fee. This means another CPA, another building contractor and perhaps another research firm. Plus the County will need to hire experts to counter owner's experts, and the County will have to pay owner's attorney hourly for supplemental proceedings. FISCAL IMPACT: Funds in the amount of $9,953.75 are available in impact fees. Source of funds are Impact Fees. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This project will further the goals and policies of the Collier County Growth Management Plan. RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners approve the Agreed Order and the expenditure and disbursement of funds as stated. PREPARED BY: Steven T.
