2022 MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT
FLORIDA FOREVER KEYS PROJECTS
MONROE COUNTY
This Memorandum of Agreement (ÐAgreementÑ) is made and entered into by and between
Monroe County, Florida, a political subdivision of the State of Florida (the ÐCountyÑ), and the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection (ÐDEPÑ), Division of State Lands (ÐDSLÑ).
WHEREAS, the parties entered into a Memorandum of Agreement dated November 21, 2016
(hereinafter Ð2016 MOAÑ) and August 16, 2017 (hereinafter Ð2017 MOAÑ), and amended on June 20,
2018 and May 20, 2020,which is now superseded by this new Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the parties acknowledge their successful partnership in the acquisition of lands
within Florida Forever projects in the Florida Keys pursuant to the 2016 MOA and 2017 MOA; and
WHEREAS, the parties also acknowledge the need to retire development rights both inside and
outside the Florida Forever projects in the Florida Keys in light of the fact that the number of
undeveloped, privately owned parcels in the Florida Keys far exceeds the number of Rate of Growth
Ordinance allocations the County is allowed to issue through 2023 pursuant to the Rule 28-20.140,
Florida Administrative Code, as adopted by the Governor and Cabinet sitting as the Administration
Commission; and
WHEREAS, the parties wish to pursue a modified partnership whereby, generally speaking,
State funds will be used to acquire those lands within the Florida Forever projects and County funds will
be used to acquire those lands outside Florida Forever projects; and
WHEREAS, on behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund (the
ÐTrusteesÑ) , DSL is in the process of acquiring property located within the project boundary for the
Florida Keys Ecosystem, Coupon Bight/Key Deer, and North Key Largo Hammocks Florida Forever
Projects in accordance with Chapter 259, Florida Statutes (collectively referred to herein as the
ÐProjectsÑ); and
WHEREAS, the parties agree that it is in the best interests of the state for the County and DSL to
cooperate on certain aspects of the acquisition of the Projects; and
WHEREAS, the County has agreed to take the lead in negotiating the acquisition of some of the
parcels within the Projects, ordering pre-acquisition due diligence products, including but not limited to
appraisals, boundary surveys or sketches, title search products, environmental assessments and the like in
order to facilitate DSLÓs acquisition of the parcels.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual benefits to the County and DSL it is
agreed as follows:
1. Intent of the Parties. The above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein
by the reference. The parties intend for this Agreement to serve as an acquisition agreement between them
as authorized and contemplated by Rule 18-1.014, Florida Administrative Code. This Agreement
supersedes any and all prior agreements, arrangements, or delegations between the parties related to the
Buubdinfou;!Qspqptfe!NPB!3133!tubnqfe!!)Bqqspwbm!pg!b!3133!Nfnpsboevn!pg!Bhsffnfou!ND!GEFQ!Gmpsjeb!Gpsfwfs*
subject matter described herein.
2. Parcels Covered by this Agreement. This Agreement shall only apply to parcels located
within the Projects and specifically described on Exhibit ÐAÑ attached hereto. Exhibit ÐAÑ may be
Page 1 of 8
Qbdlfu!Qh/!2562
H/4/c
amended from time to time to include additional parcels, delete parcels, or reprioritize parcels as needed.
Exhibit ÐAÑ shall be deemed a part of the negotiation strategy documenting offers and counteroffers, and
thus treated as confidential and exempt from section 119.07(1), Florida Statutes, as described in section
253.025(9)(d), Florida Statutes. The Projects are ranked on the Florida Forever ÐAÑ list and are eligible
for negotiation under DSL land acquisition work plan as ranked projects. The County shall obtain written
confirmation from DSL regarding the availability of funds prior to entering into a contract for the
acquisition of any parcel under this Agreement or proceed at its own risk. The terms "parcel" or "parcels"
as used herein shall mean and refer to only those parcels described on Exhibit "A", as amended from time
to time.
3. Election of Option by County.
a. Title to Vest in the County. The County may acquire parcels within the Projects
with its own funds and have title vest in the name of the County. The County shall notify DSL of its
intent to acquire parcels within the Projects with the County funds prior to initiation of negotiations. To
the extent the County desires to purchase parcels with the County funds with title vesting in the County,
then the County shall be responsible for acquiring and paying for all pre-acquisition costs and due
diligence products, and the Trustees shall have no obligations or costs whatsoever.
b. Title to Vest in Trustees. If the County desires to utilize state funds and have
title to a parcel vest in the name of the Trustees, then the County must notify DSL of its intent prior to
initiation of negotiations and follow the requirements and procedures outlined in this Agreement. The
Trustees will pay one hundred percent (100%) of the purchase price for the parcel, unless, the County, in
its absolute discretion determines to contribute funds toward the TrusteesÓ purchase price, or the CountyÓs
purchase price exceeds the DSL approved appraisal value. The County understands at any time DSL may
pursue acquisition of parcels within the Projects on behalf of the Trustees but will coordinate with the
County to ensure that the County and DSL are not negotiating acquisition of the same parcels. For parcels
which the County desires to use state funds, DSL will direct the County as to whether the County or DSL
will take lead on a particular parcel acquisition, including negotiating and acquiring all necessary pre-
acquisition due diligence products for that parcel. The real property interest to be acquired by the Trustees
in a parcel may be fee simple absolute or less-than-fee; provided, however, that if a less-than-fee interest
is to be acquired, prior to County initiating negotiations for the parcel, DSL shall have agreed to the form
of the acquisition, the property rights to be acquired, the legal rights and responsibilities to be obtained or
assumed, and the specifications for such less-than-fee acquisition. If the County elects this option, then
undivided fee simple title to each parcel acquired pursuant to this Agreement will vest one hundred
percent (100%) in the Trustees.
4. Pre-Acquisition Costs Sharing.
a. Costs Sharing Responsibility. If the County elects to use state funds with title
vesting in the Trustees, and has been directed by DSL to take lead on a parcel acquisition, the County will
acquire and pay for all pre-acquisition due diligence products, including but not limited to, appraisals
(including timber cruises, if applicable), boundary surveys or sketches, title search products,
environmental assessments and the like, and any other studies, and inspections to accurately value and
ascertain the actual condition of the parcel (ÐPre-Acquisition CostsÑ), and, subject to the limit set below,
Trustees will reimburse the County for one hundred percent (100%) of documented Pre-Acquisition
Costs at closing for the parcel, but only those costs for which the County receives DSL approval prior to
the cost being incurred (the ÐReimbursed CostsÑ). DSL may, in its absolute discretion as it deems
appropriate for any reason, increase the percentage reimbursement contribution for a select parcel. DSLÓs
prior approval shall be in writing and may be in the form of electronic mail. In the event a parcel under
Buubdinfou;!Qspqptfe!NPB!3133!tubnqfe!!)Bqqspwbm!pg!b!3133!Nfnpsboevn!pg!Bhsffnfou!ND!GEFQ!Gmpsjeb!Gpsfwfs*
contract for purchase by the Trustees does not close, the Trustees will reimburse the County the
Reimbursed Costs associated with that parcel within ninety (90) days of DSLÓs receipt of notification by
the County and submission of documentation of the costs involved. In no event shall the TrusteesÓ total
Page 2 of 8
Qbdlfu!Qh/!2563
H/4/c
reimbursements to the County under this Agreement exceed the aggregate annual total of Three hundred
Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars and no/100 Cents ($325,000.00).
b. Vendor Selection Generally. If the County elects to use state funds with title
vesting in the Trustees and has been directed by DSL to take lead on a particular parcel, for each pre-
acquisition due diligence product the County shall select vendors from DSLÓs pre-approved vendor list
unless otherwise directed by DSL. The County shall ensure that all vendors follow all the rules and
requirements of DSL and the Trustees for the preparation of the due diligence products so the products
may be relied upon by DSL and the Trustees.
c. Appraiser Selection. The County shall obtain DSLÓs prior approval for the
selection of appraiser(s). Prior to selecting an appraiser, DSLÓs Chief Appraiser shall review and approve:
(i) any appraisal instructions to be provided to the proposed appraiser(s); and (ii) the scope of services to
be provided by the selected proposed appraiser.
d. Completed Products. The County shall provide a copy of all due diligence
products to DSL within three (3) business days after completion.
e. Reimbursement Requirements. At the time the County requests the
reimbursement, the County shall furnish to DSL satisfactory evidence of payment of the Pre-Acquisition
Costs and submit to DSL an affidavit signed by legal counsel for the County certifying that all Pre-
Acquisition Costs were actual, reasonable, and legally incurred.
f. DSLÓs Real Estate Broker. The County understands and agrees that DSL may
contract by separate agreement with a real estate broker to make offers on behalf of the Trustees to
acquire parcels for the Trustees within the Projects for pre-determined amounts, perform document
preparation in conjunction with DSL and title and closing service vendors, and arrange execution of
conveyance documents for select parcels within the Projects.
5. Appraisal Mapping. The parties acknowledge that DSL has provided certain maps for
the Projects. The County assumes responsibility for providing at the TrusteeÓs cost all additional appraisal
maps necessary or appropriate for use in preparing appraisals in compliance with the procedures and
requirements set forth in section 253.025, Florida Statues, and Rule 18-1.006, Florida Administrative
Code. The appraisal maps shall be reviewed and approved by DSL before the County proceeds with
appraisals.
6. Appraisals.
a. Generally. The County will acquire at the TrusteeÓs cost such number of
appraisals (including timber cruises as appropriate) as are required under the provisions of section
253.025(8),Florida Statutes, and Rule 18-1.006, Florida Administrative Code.
b. Communication Protocol. In order to protect the integrity of the appraisal
process and all of the parties to the proposed acquisition, a Communication Protocol will exist between all
said parties and the selected appraiser(s). This Communication Protocol should be inserted into all
appraisal contracts or appraisal agreements for the project, as follows:
The selected appraiser(s) will be allowed, and encouraged, to communicate with and
receive data from the property owners, their representatives, non-governmental
organizations (ÐNGOSÑ), DSL personnel and other state or county agency personnel
Buubdinfou;!Qspqptfe!NPB!3133!tubnqfe!!)Bqqspwbm!pg!b!3133!Nfnpsboevn!pg!Bhsffnfou!ND!GEFQ!Gmpsjeb!Gpsfwfs*
about all things pertaining to the subject property including physical characteristics,
economic characteristics, surveys, inventories, timber data, crop production and
yields, property sales in the area that the appraiser should know about; anything of a
Page 3 of 8
Qbdlfu!Qh/!2564
H/4/c
factual basis that the appraiser should know relative to the value of the subject
property, including what the owners believe the property is worth and why. The
appraiser will not be allowed to discuss or communicate with the property owners,
their representatives, NGOS, non DSL appraisal bureau personnel, or other state or
county agency personnel anything related to the appraiser(s) valuation of the subject
property including techniques or methods of appraisal being considered or used, nor
any studies, analysis, opinions or conclusions regarding trends, adjustments or values
being considered for or included in the appraisal report. Any discussions of this
nature that the selected appraiser(s) want or need to have during the appraisal process
will only be between the appraiser(s) and the selected fee reviewer, the Bureau of
Appraisal Staff Appraiser assigned to the project and the DSL Chief Appraiser.
Further, report excerpts, sections, partial drafts, completed drafts or final reports will
not be provided to any parties other than the selected fee reviewer, the Bureau of
Appraisal Staff Appraiser assigned to the project and the DSL Chief Appraiser until
the reports become available as public records as set forth in Chapter 119, Florida
Statutes. Violation of the Communication Protocol may result in the appraisal(s)
being disqualified for use in the proposed acquisition and may be considered a breach
of ethical and standards obligations by the alleged offending appraiser(s).
c. Review. The County shall provide a copy of all appraisals to DSL within three
(3) business days after the CountyÓs receipt of completed appraisals. DSL, or its contract review
appraiser, will review appraisals obtained pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with all DSL
standards and requirements. The reports and/or reviews will be forwarded to the County as each becomes
available for its use in negotiating the purchase of the parcels. All appraisals prepared pursuant to this
Agreement will comply with the procedures and requirements set forth in section 253.025(8), Florida
Statutes, Rules 18-1.006 and .007, Florida Administrative Code, and DSLÓs Bureau of AppraisalÓs
Supplemental Appraisal Standards. In addition, an affidavit from each appraiser shall be submitted prior
to DSLÓs review of the appraisals certifying that the appraiser has no vested or fiduciary interest in the
parcel(s) being appraised. No parcel is eligible for negotiation and no appraisal eligible for reimbursement
as provided for herein unless and until the appraiser and appraisals reports are approved by DSL.
7. Negotiations. If the County elects to utilize state funds and have title vest in the name of
the Trustees, then any negotiations with the owners of the parcels conducted by the County shall be in
strict compliance with this Agreement, and in a manner that assures the most favorable price and terms
for the Trustees. The County shall not begin negotiations until an approved negotiation strategy has been
provided by DSL. The County will notify DSL when negotiations begin and terminate. At the conclusion
of its involvement with the negotiations for a parcel, the County will provide DSL with a written
summary of all negotiations, including copies of written offers and counteroffers. All contracts or option
agreements must be on DSL forms and approved by DSL, and, unless otherwise specified herein, must
name the Trustees as purchaser. The TrusteesÓ legal name is, "Board of Trustees of the Internal
Improvement Trust Fund of the State of Florida." In negotiating contracts or option agreements in which
the Trustees are named as purchaser, County is advised that the Trustees will not pay any portion of the
documentary stamp tax or ad valorem real property taxes, nor do the Trustees have statutory authority to
enter into indemnity agreements or agree to limit the legal or equitable remedies of the people of the State
of Florida. In undertaking such negotiations, the County is acting as a fiduciary for DSL and the Trustees.
8. Limitations on Financial Responsibility. If the County elects to utilize state funds and
have title vested in the name of the Trustees, then the TrusteesÓ share of the purchase price for each parcel
shall not exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the DSL approved purchase price, unless otherwise
agreed to by DSL, or result in a total purchase price contribution from the County and the Trustees that
Buubdinfou;!Qspqptfe!NPB!3133!tubnqfe!!)Bqqspwbm!pg!b!3133!Nfnpsboevn!pg!Bhsffnfou!ND!GEFQ!Gmpsjeb!Gpsfwfs*
exceeds the maximum amount determined by the DSL approved negotiation strategy for the parcel in
question (the ÐDSL Approved ValueÑ). DSL reserves the right to revise the DSL Approved Value for any
reason whatsoever until the date DSL or the Trustees approve a contract to purchase the parcel, which
Page 4 of 8
Qbdlfu!Qh/!2565
H/4/c
reasons may include, but are not limited to, issues raised by completed survey, changes in market
conditions, zoning or and/or land use. The Trustees will pay no part of normal seller closing costs
required by the contract.
9. Closings. For the closing of any parcel title to which will vest in the Trustees, DSL shall
set the date, time, and place of closing, which may include mail out closings. The County and DSL agree
that DSL will furnish and supervise title and closing services through one of its selected vendors. All
closing documents, including but not limited to closing statements, the sellerÓs title, possession, and lien
affidavit certified to DSL and title insurer, and a sellerÓs environmental affidavit, shall all be on DSL
forms provided by DSL. DSL will approve or reject each item required for closing under this Agreement.
10. Confidentiality. Pursuant to Sections 253.025(8)(f) and 253.025(9)(d), Florida Statutes
and Chapter 18-1, Florida Administrative Code., County, on its behalf and on behalf of its employees and
agents, warrants that it shall maintain the confidentiality of all appraisals, offers, counteroffers and other
negotiation matters until an option agreement is executed, or if no option is executed, two weeks before a
contract or agreement for purchase is considered for approval by the County or the Trustees. The County
may disclose such confidential information only to authorized personnel who sign a confidentiality
agreement, the form of which is made part of this Agreement as Exhibit ÐBÑ. Requests to add authorized
personnel must be made in writing, and the County must receive the written consent of DSL. All
confidentiality requirements outlined above shall apply to all individuals added to the list. The County
understands and agrees that all documents, papers, letters, maps, and other materials (collectively,
ÐrecordsÑ) specifically relating to the acquisition of any parcels within the Projects by the Trustees will
become public record (as defined in Chapter 119, Florida Statutes.) when an option agreement between
the seller and the Trustees is executed, or if no option is executed, two weeks before a contract or
agreement for purchase between the seller and the Trustees is considered for approval by the Trustees,
and at that time all records of the County relating to the acquisition shall become public record and shall
be subject to public review pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 119, Florida Statutes, in the same
manner as are other public records. If an option contract or a contract or agreement for the purchase
between the seller and the Trustees for a parcel within the Projects is not consummated, then as stated in
section 253.025(8)(f), Florida Statutes, DSL will determine when the passage of time has rendered the
conclusions of value in the appraisal reports invalid and DSL will provide written authorization to the
County as to when it may release the appraisal reports. DSL will require as a condition of recommending
approval of a purchase instrument by the Trustees, a certification that the County has maintained the
confidentiality of the appraisals, offers and counteroffers, and other negotiation matters. This certification
shall be in the form of a letter signed by legal counsel for the County. In addition to other remedies
provided by law, this Agreement may be terminated by DSL if the County fails to allow public access to
any such records once they are no longer confidential.
11. Terms and Conditions of Transfer. If the County initially elected to acquire a parcel
with County funds, and the County secures an option to purchase or agreement to purchase a parcel
within the Projects, the County may still offer the Trustees the right to either accept an assignment of the
option or agreement from County or purchase that parcel from County subsequent to CountyÓs acquisition
of the parcel. DSL on behalf of the Trustees shall have the absolute discretion for any reason or none at
all to decline either an assignment or direct purchase from the County, or to choose whichever of the two
options it deems best. The County understands that the Trustees and DSL must follow the requirements
set forth in section 253.025, Florida Statutes, and Chapter 18-1, Florida Administrative Code, in acquiring
from County any right, title, or interest that County acquires and that any such acquisition of a parcel
from the County must comply with all applicable laws, rules and policies in effect at the time, and be
subject to the approval of the Trustees. The County understands that any acquisition that does not strictly
comply with the terms of this Agreement is conducted at the CountyÓs risk and neither the Trustees nor
Buubdinfou;!Qspqptfe!NPB!3133!tubnqfe!!)Bqqspwbm!pg!b!3133!Nfnpsboevn!pg!Bhsffnfou!ND!GEFQ!Gmpsjeb!Gpsfwfs*
DSL are obligated to close on the parcel or reimburse the County for funds expended.

12. Project Management. The County or its agent shall, no less than monthly or upon
request by DSL, provide selected project information to DSL for each parcel acquisition covered by this
Agreement. The selected project information and the format for delivery of that information to DSL shall
be determined by DSL to assure consistency with current and proposed DSL data systems development.
13. Legislative Appropriation. The State of FloridaÓs and the TrusteesÓ performance and
obligation to pay under this Agreement is contingent upon an annual appropriation by the Legislature.
