,-' EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a Resolution authorizing the Chairman of the Board
of County Commissioners, Collier County, Florida, to execute Agreements,
Deeds, and other documents required for the sale of GAC Land Trust property
during the 2008 calendar year.
OBJECTIVE: To obtain from the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approval and
execution of the attached Resolution authorizing the Board's Chairman, during the 2008
calendar year, to execute Real Estate Sales Agreements, Statutory Deeds, and other
documents related to the sale of GAC Land Trust Property (Trust Lands) in Golden Gate
Estates which were conveyed to Collier County by Avatar Properties, Inc.
CONSIDERATIONS: On November 15, 1983, Avatar Properties, Inc., and the Board entered
into an Agreement (Avatar Agreement) whereby Avatar would convey, in phases, to the County
at no cost, 1,061.5 acres of Trust Lands in Golden Gate Estates. These conveyances came
with the stipulation that the Trust Lands and money derived from the sale thereof would be used
by Collier County for purposes directiy beneficial to the residents of Golden Gate Estates.
The Avatar Agreement further provides that transactions must close within 120 days of the date
of the appraisal. If not, the Real Estate Sales Agreement becomes null and void and the
County, instead of the purchaser, will be required to pay for the cost of the appraisal. Prior to
1989, transactions were submitted to the Board individually for approval. However, recognizing
- the difficulty in meeting this 120-day timeframe, Boards have since given the sitting Chairman
the authority to execute Real Estate Sales Agreements, Statutory Deeds, and other related
closing documents on behalf of the Board without the necessity of presenting each transaction
to the Board for approval. This process still gives the Chairman, if he or she so desires, the
flexibility of having Real Estate Services' staff present a transaction to the Board.
All documents required for a sale are first reviewed and approved by the County Attorney's
Office prior to submittal to the Chairman for execution.
This request only affects those parcels currentiy on the Available List of Trust Lands for sale. At
its December 14, 2004 meeting, Agenda Item 16E4, the Board directed that Trust Lands on the
Reserved List can only be moved to the Available List with the Board's approval.
The attached Resolution has been reviewed and approved by the County Attorney's Office.
FISCAL IMPACT: All proceeds from property sales are deposited into the GAC Trust - Land
Sales (605).
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no impact to Collier County's long-range
planning effort.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board approves and accepts the attached Resolution
authorizing the Chairman to execute the attached Resolution on the Board's behalf; and
authorizing the Chairman, during the 2008 calendar year, to execute Real Estate Sales
Agreements, Statutory Deeds, and other such documents required for the sale of Trust Lands.
