STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approve the attached resolution which authorizes the following actions:
* Declares as surplus a 5,000 square foot County-owned property, located adjacent east of 930 NW 43 Street (Folio No. 01-3123-033-0135);
* Authorizes the sale to the highest bidder through the County�s competitive bidding process at a minimum bid amount of $10,650, which is the 2013 assessed value; and
* Waives Administrative Order 8-4 as it relates to review by the County�s Planning Advisory Board because the property is located within the City of Miami.

Scope
The property is located in Commission District 3, which is represented by Commissioner Audrey M. Edmonson.

Fiscal Impact/Funding Source
The sale of this property will eliminate the County�s obligation to maintain the property, which costs approximately $224 per year, and will place the property back on the tax roll, generating approximately $231 in annual ad valorem taxes.

Track Record/Monitoring
Carmen Gomez of the Real Estate Development Division in the Internal Services Department is managing the sale of this property.

Delegation of Authority
Authorizes the County Mayor or the County Mayor�s designee to sell the property through sealed bid to the highest bidder, take all actions necessary to accomplish the sale of the property, and authorizes the Chairperson or Vice-Chairperson of the Board to execute a County Deed for such purpose.

MANAGER'S BACKGROUND
Background
The County acquired the property via Tax Deed escheatment on July 23, 2012. The Internal Services Department circulated the property to all County departments and the City of Miami to determine whether there is a present or future need for the property, in which none was determined.

If approved for surplus, the property will be put out to bid with a minimum bid amount of $10,650, which represents 100 percent of its 2013 assessed value. The County does not normally request appraisals for properties with an assessed value of less than $50,000.
