Legal Action Considered to Block Spoil Island Transfer
County officials consider possible court action to stop moving Spoil Island from the Internal Improvement Fund to Okaloosa Island. The island, leased to a three man group including county tax assessor Rhett Cadenhead, could be renewed as a nine year lease for development if control shifts. Some doubt the Okaloosa Island Authority can legally acquire more land and questions arise from a constitutional amendment limiting state submerged land sales.
