Presentation of the St. Johns County Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
The County’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (“CAFR”) requires approval
from the Board of County Commissioners. The Report is prepared by the County
Finance Department. As a final step, the Board should accept the FY 2014 CAFR as
audited by Carr, Riggs & Ingram, LLC, who is the County’s auditing firm. The
CAFR is available on the Clerk’s website, which can be accessed from the County’s
webpage, at the following link: http://www.sjccoc.us/Finance/CAFR.html. The
additional SAS 114 Letter, which is required as part of the audit report, is attached.
The Board will now have the opportunity for any further discussion with the

presentation of its financial statements.

Item 6

Resolution approving an exchange of real property and authorizing the Chair to
execute the County Deed. A property owner on Four Mile Road notified St. Johns
County that a portion of their mobile home and the entire drain field are located on a
CRA owned lot. This encroachment was discovered during due diligence for
construction of new home. To resolve this encroachment the property owner has
requested a property exchange. The property owner proposes to convey their vacant
lot on the other side of the mobile home to resolve this issue. In exchange, the
property owner requests that the CRA convey the lot with the encroachment issue.
Both lots are the same size and value based on the Property Appraiser assessed
values of the property proposed to be exchanged. The CRA has determined that it is
in the best interest of the CRA to correct the property encroachment with the parcel
exchange as identified. The proposed exchange of real property was advertised July
17, 2015 in accordance with Section 163.380, Florida Statutes.

housing. The CRA-owned lot has no access. The assessed value of the lot is $2,695
and the individual has offered $5,000. Housing staff is in support of this sale and
the property will be restricted for construction of affordable housing only. The CRA
has determined that it is in the best interests of the CRA to sell the property. The
proposed transaction was advertised on July 17, 2015 in accordance with Section
163.380, Florida Statutes.
