Title: 2. ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY FOR SITE EXPANSION AT NORTH SHORE K-8 NO. 70 (CHARMAINE GILFILLAN) Requested Action: THAT THE DUVAL COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD APPROVE A PURCHASE AGREEMENT WITH CHARMAINE GILFILLAN, IN THE AMOUNT OF $100,000, PLUS STANDARD CLOSING COSTS NOT TO EXCEED $5,000, FOR THE PURCHASE OF PROPERTY LOCATED AT 219 WEST 45 STREET, JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA 32208, (RE NO. 027406-0000).
THAT THE STRUCTURES ON THIS PARCEL BE DECLARED UNNECESSARY OR UNSUITABLE FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES AND THAT STAFF BE ALLOWED TO DISPOSE OF THEM, INCLUDING DEMOLITION OF THE STRUCTURES, IN ACCORDANCE WITH CHAPTER 1013.28(1) OF THE FLORIDA STATUTES. THAT THE DUVAL COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD AUTHORIZE THE DIRECTOR OF REAL PROPERTY TO MAKE NON-SUBSTANTIVE, TECHNICAL, NON-MATERIAL CHANGES TO THE AGREEMENT WITHOUT SEEKING ADDITIONAL BOARD ACTION. Summary Explanation and Background: North Shore Elementary School No. 70 is currently undergoing a total re-construction of the facility to accommodate a K-8 program. Additional land is needed to expand the playground areas at the school. An analysis of nearby properties was made and several adjacent property owners were approached and asked if they would consider selling property to the Duval County School Board to help accomplish the playground area expansion. The acquisition of this property will provide an additional 0.26 acres of land, as well as provide access to the school site from West 45 Street. This will improve safety considerations for pedestrian traffic to and from the school site. New Century Commission Recommendation/OPPAGA Recommendation/Council of Great City Schools Recommendation: Financial Impact (Including HR/headcount/Source of Funds): The purchase price for this property is $100,000 plus closing costs not to exceed $5,000.
