Ms. Self replied it would not be coming from the tax payers but, from private individuals <br />making a donation. <br />Mr. Flores asked if there was a discussion about changing the wording. Mr. Flores stated <br />the wording was real specific about the County not purchasing anything over the <br />appraised value. <br />Ms. Self replied yes, but, the County wouldn't be purchasing anything over the appraised <br />value. <br />Mr. Flores replied they would still be buying or purchasing it for more. <br />Ms. Self replied that the County could allow for grants and private contributions but, <br />under no circumstance shall the purchased price paid for a property exceed the appraised <br />value. <br />Mr. Gilmartin stated he thought it should be clarified or reworded. <br />Mr. Flores stated that it should say the County should not pay more than the appraised <br />value, but if the purchased price was greater than the appraised value, other sources were <br />able to support. <br />Mr. Yada asked if Ms. Self could check on that. <br />Mr. Flores asked about the State legacy land fund. What would be the process for the <br />County to submit the Kawa` a land? <br />Mr. Yada stated the County would submit an application for funds; to combine together <br />with County money to purchase a property. Mr. Yada stated this may be the only way to <br />do larger purchases; which may take two or three years to accomplish. In the interim, we <br />would have to designate these funds until we find out if the State would be sharing in the <br />cost to purchase; the sellers would also have to be willing to wait for that to happen too. <br />Mr. Flores asked if there were any discussion of bringing the Trust for Public Lands to <br />help negotiate. <br />Mr. Yada stated their participation was going to be from property to property. It <br />depended if they felt something was worth pursuing then they would come and talk about <br />allocating some funds. <br />Mr. Flores asked at what point we engage them into the negotiations. <br />Mr. Yada stated that he didn't know if the County would do it from their side because it <br />would depend upon the lead agency from a management perspective post acquisition. <br />31 <br />
