Scrivener’s
Pg. 1, line 13, strike “990” and insert “940”
• Property was granted by the City to FSCJ in 1980 with restrictive covenants that FSCJ will
restore, maintain and use the property for educational and college related purposes
• Property is currently utilized by JSO under a rent-free MOU with FSCJ
• This legislation would terminate the City’s existing right of reverter to the property, enabling
FSCJ to sell the property to a third party buyer free and clear of the City’s reversionary interest
• The subject property is approximately 10% of the greater parcel’s size that has a Property
Appraiser assessed value of $1.9 million
AUDITOR COMMENTS:
• By terminating the City’s right of reverter, the City is relinquishing its right to the property and
any proceeds that might generated from the sale of the property
• JSO may have to move to a different facility that could result in additional costs if they are
unable to find another rent-free option
AUDITOR RECOMMENDED AMENDMENT
The City should receive a portion of the sales price through either an agreement with FSCJ or by
exercising the right of reverter and selling directly to the third party buyer
