CDi:1 Supp. No. 24 xix Checklist of Up -to -Date Pages (This checklist will be updated with the printing of each Supplement) From our experience in publishing Looseleaf Supplements on a page -for -page substitution basis, it has become evident that through usage and supplementation many pages can be inserted and removed in error. The following listing is included in this Code as a ready guide for the user to determine whether the Code volume properly reflects the latest printing of each page. In the first column all page numbers are listed in sequence. The second column reflects the latest printing of the pages as they should appear in an up-to-date volume. The letters "OC" indicate the pages have not been reprinted in the Supplement Service and appear as published for the original Code. When a page has been reprinted or printed in the Supplement Service, this column reflects the identification number or Supplement Number printed on the bottom of the page. In addition to assisting existing holders of the Code, this list may be used in compiling an up-to-date copy from the original Code and subsequent Supplements.

Notice calling for bids shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation once each week for two consecutive weeks. The county shall have the option to convey the property to the highest bidder or reject all bids. This procedure applies regardless of whether the surplus property is being disposed of on the county's own initiative or upon receiving a letter of interest. (b) For real property valued at $50,000.00 or more, as appraised by the property appraiser, the county shall have the property re -appraised by a fee appraiser designated by a fee appraiser designated by the county. The county may then dispose of the property through the procedure outlined in subsection (a) of this section. (c) Alternatively, for real property appraised under $25,000.00 by the property appraiser's office, the county may negotiate the private sale of the property to an interested person. The county shall send notice to all adjacent property owners by certified mail indicating the county's desire to dispose of the real property. The county may then effect a sale and conveyance of the parcel at private sale to an adjacent property owner without receiving bids or publishing notice. If, within ten business days after receiving such notice, two or more adjacent property owners indicate their desire to purchase the property, the county shall accept sealed bids for the property from the interested parties. The county may then convey the property to the highest bidder or reject all bids. This procedure applies regardless of whether the surplus property is being disposed of on the county's own initiative or upon receiving a letter of interest. If no adjacent property owners express interest in purchasing the property, the county may dispose of the property through the procedure outlined in subsection (a) of this section (d) Alternatively, when a parcel of real property is of insufficient size and shape or is otherwise unable to be issued a building permit for any type of development to be constructed on the property, the county may negotiate the private sale of the property to an adjacent property owner. Such parcels may only be sold or conveyed to adjacent property owners. The county shall send notice to all adjacent property owners by certified mail indicating the county's desire to dispose of the real property and requesting interested adjacent property owners to submit to the county a letter of interest. The county may then effect a sale and conveyance of the parcel at private sale to an adjacent property owner without receiving bids or publishing notice. If two or more adjacent property owners express interest in acquiring the property, the county shall evaluate the letters of interest and may convey the property to the adjacent property owner the county deems most appropriate considering the unique location of the surplus property. This procedure applies regardless of whether the surplus property is being disposed of on the county's own initiative or upon receiving a letter of interest. Supp. No. 24 CD32:5 § 32-26 ST. LUCIE COUNTY CODE (e) The county, regardless of the appraised value of the property, may convey such property to another governmental entity or charitable institution at a private sale for such price as the board of county commissioners may fix.

Each vendor must conspicuously display on each rental personal watercraft the special speed limit instructions that apply. The speed restrictions must be easily visible to the operator of the rental personal watercraft when the operator is in the operating position on the personal watercraft.
