authorized the purchase of said property, in an amount not to exceed $3,100,101; and

approve the sale of the Property to the CRA unless the CRA resolved issues with FDOT regarding the
Property; and

to lease that southern portion of the Property back to the CRA for a term of at least 18 months, with a
