Report and related action in connection with possible donation of a house in Ponte Vedra Don Ford reported he had researched the possible relocation of the house in Ponte Vedra which the owners had offered to donate to a charitable organization. While the house was in excellent condition, the cost to move the structure would be more than originally estimated and it was his recommendation the city not pursue the matter further. He felt if the city so desires, a structure could be designed and built to meet the city's needs for a comparable cost. Commissioner Shaughnessy moved to accept the recommendation of staff and not pursue the matter further. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Meserve and carried unanimously. 2. Any other business Commissioner Rosenbloom reported he had accepted a Certificate of Appreciation presented by Greenscape to the City of Atlantic Beach in recognition of its support of the Atlantic Boulevard beautification project.

The house had been presented to the City at a cost of approximately $55,000 to move to Russell Park. The City would spend approximately $60,000 to $70,000 to remodel and upgrade the structure. The following are actual cost from three sources to move and remodel the structure: The Kendale Company has submitted a verbal quote of$88,000 to more the structure and set it up in Russell Park. This would require an estimated $53,457 to remodel and complete for the City's use. Total cost - - - $141,457 + 10% The Larue House Movers 's estimate was $60,000 to move the house with approximately $20,000 additional cost to the City. Add the Hafto remodeling cost + 10%: Total Cost $133,457 + 10% While this project originally appears to have value in that the per square foot cost originally approached $39.00 per square foot, the high estimates given by the moving companies has raised the estimated cost per square foot to $47.00 per square foot, and all cost such as landscaping, exterior painting, decks, shingles, furniture, window dressing, interior decorating have not been addressed. It is staff's opinion that this project is not feasible because of the high relocation cost. A like size structure, designed and built for City use would be approximately $50.00 per square foot complete.
