OBJECTIVE: To consider the purchase and acquisition of the WISC Property under the Conservation Collier Land Acquisition Program, based on a partial funding commitment by the City of Marco Island. CONSIDERATIONS: On January 25, 2022, Agenda Item #11A, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved a Conservation Collier Land Acquisition Advisory Committee (CCLAAC) recommended Cycle 10 Active Acquisition List (AAL), with changes and directed staff to actively pursue the acquisition of the properties under the Conservation Collier Program. The WISC property contains 0.39 acres and is located within Marco Beach, Unit 9. The parcel is located off Inlet Drive on Marco Island. This property has a significant amount of active gopher tortoise burrows, including fifty-six (56) potentially occupied burrows, thirteen (13) abandoned burrows, and a total of twenty-eight (28) estimated tortoises onsite. The majority of the site consists for suitable habitat for the gopher tortoises. Consistent with the Conservation Collier Purchasing Policy, one appraisal was prepared in July 2022 by an independent, state -certified, general real estate appraiser. In February 2023, the appraisal was updated to clarify environmental features of the property, including the gopher tortoises. Mitigation costs for the gopher tortoises amounting to $196,000 was deducted from both appraisals. The first appraised value is $419,000; the second appraised value is $429,000. The Seller would not accept an offer of less than $429,000 and a contract was prepared to present this property to the Board for consideration. Prior to acquiring land located within a Municipality's boundaries, approval must first be obtained from the governing body of that Municipality. On December 5, 2022, the Marco Island City Council unanimously approve the County's acquisition of the WISC parcel on Inlet Drive, under the Conservation Collier Land Acquisition Program (Consent Agenda Item #8A). On April 25, 2023, the Board voted 3 - 2 to deny the acquisition of this property for $429,000. In light of the vote, the Marco Island City Council discussed assisting with purchase of this property, by providing the $10,000 at their May 8, 2023 meeting (Council Communications and Future Agenda Items). Marco Island City Councilman Rich Blonna and City Manager Mike McNees have approached the Board Chair and the County Manager's Office to request the item be reconsidered by the Board. FISCAL IMPACT: The total cost of the acquisition will not exceed $432,600 ($429,000 for the property, $900 for the appraisal, and approximately $2,700 for the title commitment, title policy, and recording of the documents). The Conservation Collier Trust Fund, (1061), will fund the acquisition, and contains adequate available funding. The $10,000 in funding committed by the City of Marco Island will be deposited in Fund 1061, to offset a portion of the purchase.
