PURPOSE The Mayor stated the purpose ofthe special meeting in session with the County Commissioners is to discuss the City owned Softball Complex/Fairgounds property on Lewis Turner Boulevard as a possible site for the new Okaloosa County Courthouse Annex, and to get the County' s level of interest or preference for a location. COURTHOUSE ANNEX Commissioner Campbell mentioned at this time the County has several site locations to place the judicial center and they are open for another possible site. She said they have been working on this project for many years and need to move ahead as quickly as possible, and they are open to what the City has to offer. She wished to hear what parcels the City is willing to offer to the County, and how Mr. Tucker arrived at the price of $200, 000 an acre when the appraisal in 2005 was less than that amount. Councilman Tucker expressed that the City has always lost money when property was purchase and he did not want that to happen again and wants the City to make a profit. He expressed his desire for the Judicial Center to be located on Lewis Turner and that the Fairgrounds stay at that location, but he wanted it purchased from the City and the citizens to make a profit, and he just picked a number. Councilman Campbell commented that $200, 000 an acre is a little high and expressed his hope that the City and the County can arrive at a consensus or agreement on a figure that would benefit both parties and for the Judicial Center to be located in the City.
