In a letter dated May 20, 1991, Mr. Sirmans rejected
the County's offer and made a counterproposal to sell the
4.83 acres of the property for $20,000 per acre or $96,600.

acres.

had entered into an agreement with
Mr. Ronald Carnes of Odessa, Florida
to raise cattle on the property. This

barbed wire fence at a considerable
