Items 6-k and 6-1 were removed for discussion. <br /> Approval of Remaining Consent Agenda <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner McKee, seconded by Commissioner Gordon to <br /> approve the remaining items on the consent agenda. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> Discussion and Approval of the Items Removed from the Consent Agenda <br /> 6-k Authorization of a Deed of Trust by Orange Enterprises, Inc. <br /> The Board considered authorizing Orange Enterprises, Inc. (OE) to obtain a deed of <br /> trust in an amount of$250,000 and authorizing the Chair to sign. <br /> John Roberts said OE is requesting a second deed of trust on this property. He said if <br /> Orange County grants this authority OE will have additional operating funds. He said the <br /> business has a shortage of cash flow. <br /> John Roberts said another request came in that was an amendment to the agreement. <br /> He said this amendment changes the number in the 2005 contract which states that OE is <br /> prohibited from securing deeds of trust in excess of$715,000. He said tonight's approval <br /> would take that total up to $965,000, and OE is seeking to amend the agreement to allow <br /> deeds of trust up to $1 million. <br /> Chair Jacobs asked if John Roberts was comfortable with this. <br /> John Roberts said yes. <br /> Commissioner Gordon asked for the total worth. <br /> John Roberts said it is assessed for $1,091,519 million dollars. He said this matters to <br /> the County because if OE defaults, ownership will default to the County. <br /> Commissioner Gordon clarified that the assessed value is $1,091,519 and OE wants <br /> authorization for $1 million. <br /> John Roberts said this is correct. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Price, seconded by Commissioner Rich to <br /> authorize Orange Enterprises, Inc. (OE) to obtain a deed of trust in an amount of$250,000; to <br /> accept an amendment to the contract allowing Orange Enterprises, Inc to secure deeds of trust <br /> up to $1 million; and to authorize the Chair to sign. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 6-1 Legal Advertisement for Quarterly Public Hearing — February 24, 2014 <br /> The Board considered the legal advertisement for items to be presented at the joint <br /> Board of County Commissioners/Planning Board Quarterly Public Hearing scheduled for <br /> February 24, 2014. <br /> Commissioner Price asked if it is possible to add links to the online application or to add <br /> contact numbers for staff. <br /> Perdita said there is a statement in the legal advertisement regarding a link to <br /> applications available on the County Website, as well as a phone number to call for more <br /> information. <br /> Commissioner Price said this is after the public information meetings and the <br /> advertisement will only run one time. <br />
