A. Discussion of Agenda Items

Dr. Alice Murray notified the members of the LAC that a sixth offer was submitted. The sixth offer was from the Allen family; it was received after the submission deadline and therefore cannot be a part of consideration. A copy of the letter was distributed to the committee.

Also available to the committee were the endorsement letters for most of the proposed sites. The recommendation/endorsements have been placed into binders for the committee to review.

Dr. Murray then discussed the letter from President Judy Genshaft to Vice President, Preston Mercer regarding the charge to the Land Acquisition Committee. The LAC’s duties and responsibilities are to make a recommendation in a ranked order for all of the sites and the committees rational for the recommendations that are made. This will be a part of the recommendation made to the Lakeland Board by the LAC. Dr. Murray then opened the floor to the committee for a time of discussion regarding President Genshafts letter.

Dr. Murray then addressed the “time line” – when will the reports be received from the consultants to the LAC with the various property information. Previously the committee had discussed allowing a final opportunity for each of the donors to submit any supplemental offers that they would like to make. The committee had discussed - a week after the RS&H presentation there would be a time period for the donors to bring an enhancement to their original offer.

The discussion was open to the committee to share with RS&H their ideas and thoughts regarding each site - Objective, goals, and vision. Following the committee’s brief discussion the LAC meeting was adjourned and Dr. Alice Murray introduced Reynolds, Smith and Hill.
