NEW BUSINESS VI.A Approval of updated MOU with Mr. O.T. Sloan for removal of conditions at O.T. Sloan Park County Manager Dr. John Crumpton said as a reminder in 2007, Lee County acquired 9.45 acres that is known as OT. Sloan Park. The land was purchased through funds provided by Mr. O.T. Sloan, Jr. with the stipulation that the property would be used as a recreational area named after Mr. O.T. Sloan. The County is interested in using a part of the property for the location of a new library. The library use would not comply with the parks and recreation restriction, so a request was issued to Mr. Sloan, Jr. to consent to waive the restriction to allow the County the right to use a part of what is designated as O.T. Sloan Park for the new library. The remaining property would continue to be used and maintained for parks and recreational purposes. Mr. O.T. Sloan, Jr. has consented to this arrangement and has signed a Memorandum of Understanding memorializing the change. Memorandum of Agreement - O.T.

This year staff obtained a collection rate of 99.19%. As part of the settlement, the governing board charges the Tax Collector with collecting taxes for the current fiscal year (FY 2023 in this instance) and prior fiscal years with unpaid taxes. This "charge"gives the Tax Collector authority to use enforced collection measures and it gives legal notice that the tax lien is first in priority. A report of all unpaid real and personal property is available in the clerk's office and posted on the Commissioners' website.
