Quick Summary / Abstract
Approve the Agreement of Sale and Purchase between The School Board of Broward County, Florida and Forest Hills INV, LLC for the purchase of the site commonly referred to as North Side Elementary School Parking Lot (Site No. 004.1).

Section 1013.28, Florida Statutes (FS) allows a school board to dispose of any land or real property that is by resolution of the board, determined to be unnecessary for educational purposes.   On April 20, 2010, the School Board approved the surplus of the approximately 1.48 acre North Side Elementary School Parking Lot Site which is located on the north side of NE 11th Street between NE 3rd Avenue and NE 4th Avenue in the City of Fort Lauderdale.

In 2010, two appraisals were conducted to determine the value of the Site; one appraisal valued the property at $550,000, and the other valued it at $900,000.  Subsequently, consistent with the provisions of School Board Policy 7002-B, the Negotiation Parameters Committee (NPC) met on September 30, 2010 and voted to value the property at the average of the two appraised values, which was $725,000.  Thereafter on March 10, 2011, the property was marketed for sale via Request for Proposal (RFP) 11-033T.  However, the property did not sell.

In 2012, the District ordered two (2) full appraisals of the property; and an appraisal dated May 18, 2012 valued the property at $645,000 (the higher of the two (2) appraisals).  On July 3, 2012, the NPC met and voted to value the property at the higher appraised value.

Thereafter, the Facility Planning & Real Estate (FP&RE) Department commenced efforts to sell the property.  Commencing in early October 2013, the Department received numerous inquiries on the property, of which two (2) entities submitted Letters of Intent (LOI) to purchase the property.  Of the submitted LOI's, Forest Hills INV, LLC offered the highest price of $670,000 (which is $25,000 above the asking price) to purchase the property.     

This Agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form and legal content by the Office of the General Counsel, and upon its approval by the School Board, due diligence processes towards purchase and closing on the property will commence.

There is a positive $670,000 financial impact to the District; therefore, this item does not require a Collaboration Form from the Capital Budget Department.
