Reminder: Henderson County Board of Commissioners meeting December 5

Just a reminder for anyone interested that the Henderson County Board of Commissioners is having their regularly scheduled monthly meeting Monday, December 5, at 5:30 p.m.

The agenda is now online and it includes under Discussion Items, Highland Lake Golf Course Purchase.

The request for action from the County Attorney is as follows:

REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION
HENDERSON COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

MEETING DATE: 5 December 2011

SUBJECT: Highland Lake Golf Course Purchase

SUMMARY OF REQUEST:

Media reports have noted that the Village of Flat Rock has determined not to allow a soccer complex to be built on the current Highland Lake Golf Course site. The option obtained by the County has, in the attached offer to purchase and contract, the following condition:

There must be no restrictions, easements, zoning or other governmental regulations that would prevent the reasonable use of the Property for recreational or park purposes.

BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:

Board direction on moving forward with this purchase.

If the Board is so inclined, one of the two following motions is suggested:

I move that the Board move forward with the purchase of the property.

OR

I move that the Board terminate its option to purchase the property and not purchase the property.

Since at the October 19 meeting, the commissioners voted to exercise the purchase option agreement, I'm assuming this vote is necessary to officially determine whether they will purchase or not (and I'm assuming "not" but it's not over til it's over). See you there!
