compatible with the long range planning goals and objectives of the Growth Management Plan for
Collier County.

right-of-way parcels, and stormwater retention treatment pond parcels, as well as perpetual, non-
exclusive drainage and utility easements, and temporary construction and driveway restoration
easements within the project corridor identified on Exhibit "A;" and County Staff is hereby authorized

5. The Board, in accordance with the provisions of Section 125.355, Florida Statutes, hereby
formally waives the requirement for a formal, independent appraisal report for the purchase of a
property where the purchase price of the parcel (the compensation due to the property owner) is less

report, staff is hereby authorized to make purchase offers for the properties, the dollar amounts of
which shall be predicated on "staff compensation estimates" based upon independent appraisals (and
the data therefrom) obtained on similar properties and upon consideration and application of
appropriate market value and cost data pertinent to the subject parcels.

property acquisition, Real Property Management Department staff is hereby directed to offer
immediate delivery to the respective property owners of the full compensation (as established by the

Florida Statutes), in return for the immediate and proper execution of the respective easements, or
other legal documents and/or affidavits as the County Attorney's Office deems appropriate in order to
protect the interests of the County; and the Board hereby authorizes its present Chairman and any
subsequent Chairman, for the life of the Project, to execute any instruments which have been approved
by the Office of the County Attorney, to remove the lien of any encumbrance and for any such other
purpose as may be required.
7. In those instances where negotiated settlements may be obtained via the "Purchase Agreement"
or "Easement Agreement" mechanism, the Director of the Transportation Engineering and
Construction Management Department, or any Project Manager of his designation, is hereby delegated
the authority to approve the purchase of land interests above the staff compensation estimate or
appraised value and pay normally related costs when it is in the best interest of the Project, within the
pro-rata share of the land rights acquisition budget for the parcel being acquired, only when the
difference between the purchase price and compensation estimate or appraised value is less than
Twenty-Five Thousand and 001100 Dollars ($25,000.00) or the current purchasing limits established
by the Collier County Purchasing Department; provided, Project funding is available.
8. That the settlement approval authority is delegated by the Board to the extent that such
approvals do not conflict with the provisions of Section 125.355, Florida Statutes.
9. The Chairman of the Board is hereby authorized to execute Easement Agreements and
Purchase Agreements where the land owner has agreed to sell the required land rights to the County at
its appraised value or at that amount considered the "Administrative Settlement Amount" as such term
is internally used by the administrative agencies of Collier County.
to. Where the property owner agrees, through the execution of a "Purchase Agreement" or
"Easement Agreement," to convey a necessary interest in real property to the County, and upon the
proper execution by the property owner of those easements or such other legal documents as the Office
of the County Attorney may require, the Board hereby authorizes the Finance Department to issue
warrants, payable to the property owner(s) of record, in those amounts as shall be specified on a
closing statement and which shall be based upon the appraisal or staff compensation estimate in
accordance with this Resolution and the provisions of Section 125.355, Florida Statutes.
11. All title to properties or interests in properties which have been obtained in the manner
described above shall be deemed "accepted" by the Board of County Commissioners, as the governing
