INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT FOR THE COLLECTION,
HOLDING IN TRUST, AND TRANSFER OF LIBRARY IMPACT FEES
BETWEEN MONROE COUNTY AND KEY WEST, FLORIDA
THIS Interlocal Agreement is being entered into under the
authority of F.S. 163.01 by and between Monroe County and the
City of Key West to provide coordination for the collection,
holding in trust, and transfer of library impact fees between
the City of Key West and Monroe County.
WHEREAS, the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners
and the City of Key West have determined and recognize that the
growth rate the County will 'experience through the year 2005
will necessitate significant public library facility improvements
in order to maintain an acceptable level of service for County
library services to be provided to County and City residents.
WHEREAS, Monroe County has prepared a library impact fee
ordinance, attached hereto as Exhibit A, which provides for the
collection of library impact fees from new development in the
County .
WHEREAS, the City of Key West agrees to adopt the terms of
said ordinance to ensure that new development in the City pro-
vides its fair share of the cost of expanding public library
facilities that the City receives from the County.
THEREFORE, pursuant to Florida Statutes 163.01, Monroe
County, a political subdivision of the State of Florida, and the
City of Key West, a municipal corporation, have determined and
recognized that increased growth in the City will necessitate a
significant capital expansion of the County's library services in
order to provide an adequate quality of library opportunities for
both City and County residents. In order to finance these new
capital improvements for facilities, and ensure that accommodat-
ing that growth is economically feasible, several combined meth-
ods will be necessary, one of which will require all new
land development generating public library facility needs to pay
its pro rata share of the capital expansion costs that will be
incurred to provide said facilities.
AND THEREFORE, this inter local agreement shall be for the
purpose of establishing a method for the collection, holding in
trust, and transfer of impact fees from the City to the County
for the library services the County provides to the City.
