Council records final reading and adoption of ordinance to convey surplus land to Stricklands
Summary
At its Feb. 10 meeting, the council held a final reading and recorded passage of Ordinance No. 1058 described in the transcript as conveying surplus city property to Samuel H. Strickland and Merriam Rhodes Strickland; the transcript contains an internal inconsistency naming the "City of Perry."
The Harris City Council held a final reading on Feb. 10 and recorded adoption of Ordinance No. 10 58, described in the meeting text as an ordinance "of the city council of the City of Perry, Taylor County, Florida," to declare certain city-owned real property surplus and to convey it to Samuel H. Strickland and Merriam Rhodes Strickland. "Final reading, ordinance number 10 58," Speaker 2 read during the agenda item, and the record shows the motion carried: "Motion passes."
The ordinance text recited the council's authority under the City of Perry Charter and cited Attorney General Opinion 96-16 as authorizing disposal of surplus lands. The transcript does not identify who moved or seconded the motion by name in the audio record, and it does not include a documented roll-call vote tally. The meeting record therefore reports the ordinance was adopted but does not include vote counts or the individual mover/second names.
The transcript also contains an inconsistency: the body conducting the meeting identifies itself at the start as the "Harris City Council," while the ordinance language refers to the "City of Perry, Taylor County, Florida." The record does not explain that discrepancy, and minutes or the clerk's official record should be consulted for clarity on jurisdictional naming and the formal adoption record.
The ordinance states the city council found the described real property "surplus and no longer needed for the benefit of the city" and names the grantees. No further terms of the conveyance (sale price, conditions, or closing date) are stated in the recorded reading.
