ELATIRING ro IN,SMITIT 8c. HARGROVE <br /> — V <br /> Mr. R. Wayne Weston <br /> August 12 , 1983 <br /> Page 3 <br /> operating on the assumption that the entire 9.64 acres had <br /> been traOsferred. However, the deed dated August 2 , 1976 , <br /> recorded in Book 270 , Page 1060 of the Orange County <br /> Registry, only transferred the 8 .00 acre tract, in error. <br /> When you called this matter to the attention of the <br /> Orange County Board of Education in June, 1983 , the Board <br /> directed that this matter be reviewed and took immediate <br /> action to correct the technical errors giving rise to these <br /> problems.! By resolution adopted June 22 , 1983 , the Orange <br /> County Bollard of Education declared as surplus property and <br /> no longer necessary for public school purposes the two <br /> tracts of land containing 0 .77 and 0 . 87 of an acre. The <br /> Board then agreed to sell the property to the Orange County <br /> Commissioners for a sale price equal to the costs incurred <br /> by the Orange County Board of Education to arrange for the <br /> sale of said property. The deeds to effect these transfers <br /> and to correct the errors made in 1976 have been drawn and <br /> await only the formal acceptance by the Orange County <br /> Commissioners. <br /> I understand that, because of these truly technical <br /> errors, some possible grant funding may be jeopardized. I <br /> certainly hope that fear will not be realized, as the clear <br /> intention of both the Orange County Board of Education and <br /> the Orange County Board of Commissioners in 1976 was to <br /> transfer the entire 9 . 64 acre tract of land. But for <br /> apparent errors by the attorneys involved and oversights by <br /> both Boards, that transfer would have been accomplished in <br /> 1976 , as intended by both Boards. <br /> If y4u desire any documentation regarding any of the <br /> matters referenced above, please let me know and I will be <br /> happy to Orovide the same. If I can provide any additional <br /> informatiop or if the Orange County Board of Education can <br /> be of any ! assistance to you and the County in clarifying <br /> these matters for grant funding purposes, please advise me <br /> and I willi do what I can to assist you. <br /> Very truly yours, <br /> THARRINGTON, SMITH & * *GROVE <br /> C;:- ..:5(17411 /111411. 4 <br /> 400' <br /> Richard A.
