thereof. The property owner has requested that the County allow him to fence off a portion of the land that would be used for debris processing as pasture for his cattle. The current owner would relocate his herd and remove the fence immediately upon the County's request in the event the property was needed for debris processing, or other needs that the County may cite. Should the Board authorize staff to do so, staff would work with the current owner to designate the specific area that may be allowed as pasture. z FINANCIAL IMPACT: Funds to support the $140,000 purchase of this property are available within the current Capital Investment Plan. Since the site will also serve for debris processing, a portion of property cost may be underwritten by the Solid Waste/Landfill Enterprise Fund. The cost of developing, constructing, and equipping the new SWCC are estimated to be an additional $300,000 to $600,000 beyond the property acquisition cost, depending on the range of services and type of equipment the Board decides to provide at the facility. A capital project ordinance will be presented for Board action in early 2007 that will appropriate funding for the entire Walnut Grove Church Road Solid Waste Convenience Center project, with an equitable distribution of costs funded between the Enterprise Fund and the County Capital Project Fund. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board: 1. Approve the purchase of 18.13 acres of property from Louis and Faye Crabtree in the amount of $140,000, substantially in accordance with the attached Offer to Purchase and Contract -Undeveloped Lot/Land, contingent upon staff and Attorney review; and 2. Authorize staff to designate an area that may be used by Mr. Crabtree to pasture cattle under the terms cited above and authorize the Manager to sign any resulting letter of understanding, contingent .upon Attorney review; and 3. Authorize the Chair to sign the purchase agreement; and 4. Authorize the Attorney and Finance Director to execute documents as may be required to close the property transaction.
