Phillips Foundation, Inc. (collectively, "Dr. Phillips"), relating to the property known as the Hungerford/Wymore Property, located at 1000 E. Kennedy Rd and 1000 Hanover Avenue and Parcel 75-S-N-6 located at 525 W. Kennedy Road (both jointly referred hereinafter as the “Subject Property”). The PSA has since been amended four times. A lawsuit is currently pending against the School Board seeking to enjoin the transaction. The Fifth Amendment to the PSA allows the School Board and Dr. Phillips to proceed with closing before the lawsuit is finally resolved, changes the title company to Alliant National Title Insurance Company, and provides that purchase price proceeds received before resolution of the lawsuit will be held by the School Board in a separate interest-bearing account pursuant to the Post-Closing Escrow Agreement attached as Exhibit A of the Fifth Amendment to the PSA. If the transaction is required to be unwound, the School Board and Dr. Phillips will share the unwind costs equally. The Fifth Amendment also tolls the PSA development deadlines until final resolution of the lawsuit, while allowing Dr. Phillips to continue pursuing development approvals at its option. FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT: The School Board will be responsible for title search fees charged by Alliant National Title Insurance Company, one-half of the cost of updating the survey, and, if the transaction is required to be unwound, one-half of the unwind costs. The amount of these costs is presently undetermined.

Section 1013.24, Florida Statutes, authorizes the School Board to acquire private property by eminent domain for a public school purpose or use.

Efforts to contact the property owner and acquire the property voluntarily, including contacts attempted on June 28, 2022, November 18, 2022, January 21, 2026, and September 11, 2026, have not resulted in a response or an acquisition agreement. On September 11, 2026, the District sent a notice and written offer by certified mail, return receipt requested, pursuant to section 73.015, Florida Statutes. The mailing was not claimed. On October 1, 2026, the United States Postal Service reported that it could not be delivered and was being returned to the District. The Resolution determines public school purpose and necessity and authorizes proceedings under Chapters 73 and 74, Florida Statutes, including a declaration of taking and a court-registry deposit. Filing may occur on or after November 3, 2026, but only after adoption of the Resolution and counsel’s verification that all statutory prerequisites have been satisfied, including the required response period measured from receipt of notice or its return as undeliverable. Negotiations may continue. FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT: The current appraised value is $94,528. This amount is not a cap on the court-ordered deposit or final compensation. The District will be responsible for full compensation, including any compensable damages to the remainder, and attorney’s fees, costs, interest, and acquisition expenses as required by law. The ultimate acquisition and litigation costs cannot be determined at this time. The Resolution authorizes the Superintendent or designee, in coordination with Finance and District Counsel, to make the required court-registry deposit from lawfully available, budgeted funds, subject to applicable fiscal policies and delegated authority. Counsel and Finance must confirm funding before seeking an order of taking and obtain any additional Board budget or expenditure approval required to make the deposit within the statutory deadline. STUDENT DATA TO BE SHARED: N/A RECOMMENDED RESOLUTION: Approve the Resolution finding that acquisition of fee simple title to the property described in Exhibit “A” is reasonably necessary for the East River High School SR 50 Access Project and serves a public school purpose; authorizing acquisition by eminent domain pursuant to section 1013.24 and Chapters 73 and 74, Florida Statutes; and authorizing District Counsel and appropriate District staff to implement the Resolution, including court filings and the required registry deposit, subject to its statutory and fiscal conditions.
