The purchase price of the conservation easement is $108,000 ($3,000 per <br /> acre), with an additional $8,000 in estimated transaction costs, including a boundary survey. <br /> The County costs (estimated at $116,000) would come from the Lands Legacy Opportunities <br /> Fund. This budget amendment provides for the transfer of $116,000 from the Lands Legacy <br /> Capital Project to the Conservation Easements Capital Project for the above stated purpose. <br /> (See Attachment 3, Conservation Easements Capital Project Ordinance, and Attachment 4, <br /> Lands Legacy Capital Project Ordinance) <br />
