Clerk to the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County ~ c. ~JJ~ Deputy Clerk / - - MONROE COUNTYNILLAGE OF ISLAMORADA NEGOTIATIONS BACKGROUND '"",. Since becoming an officially incorporated municipality in January of 1998, the Village of Islamorada has been wrestling with the questions of what services to provide 1 directly, what services to have the County continue directly and what services to purchase from the County or outside entities. It was not until the end of March, 1998, that there was an official governing body in place so that discussions could begin between the County and the Village. 1 On April 3, 1998, representatives of the Administration and the County Attorney's office met with representatives of the Village to initiate discussions. These were general discussions about how to proceed, with the primary agreement on that date being that we would work through an interlocal agreement, or agreements, for the purpose of implementing decisions. There were succeeding meetings on May 8, 1998, May 28, 1998, and June 22, 1998. Many issues have been resolved and others are pending. On a few issues, there is still much disagreement between the County and the Village. Attached is a copy of the May 7, 1998, letter from the Village Attorney to the County. This is the primary set of issues around which discussions have occurred and agreements, or lack thereof, developed. I ,.~-".. > ;~-~Jiti~'0'~' " The purpose of this report is to identify to the Board of County Commissioners where agreements exist and staff recommendations in that regard, where agreements do not exist and still need to be work9&.put, and where there are apparent major differences. AGREEMENTS AND STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Below are the positions taken by the Village, agreements by the Administration and County Attorney, arid staff recommendations. These items begin on page 4 of the Village Attorney's letter and refer to the period beginning October I, 1998. 1. The Village will take over all Planning, Zoning, Building Inspection, and Environmental Resource is~ues. RECOMMENDATION: APPROVAL 2. The Village will take over all Code Enforcement functions. RECOMMENDATION: APPROVAL (The County will continue cases before the Special Master in the event the Special Master retains jurisdiction over those cases. The County will not undertake the app'eal of any orders ofthe Special Master. That will be the obligation of the' Village.) 3. PARKS AND BEACHES A. The County will turn over its intrrest in Anne's Beach and the Village will operate and maintain Anne's Beach. B. The County will turn over its interest in the park behind the Islamorada Public Library and the Village will maintain and operate that park. The Administration feels that the maintenance of these two facilities, isolated as they are from other County facilities, would be better handled by the Village. An analysis by the Planning Director indicates that there will be no significant impact upon the County's ability to meet its obligations 2 !~~ ',~'::lh~: l' under the level of service for parks under the 20 10 Comprehensive Plan. RECOMMENDATION: APPROVAL OF A AND B l}"'ll.. _ 4. The Village will provide maintenance for the Hurricane Monument. The County will continue to own. RECOMMENDATION: APPROVAL 5. The County will continue to provide Animal Control servIces in the Village as part of the County-wide program. RECOMMENDATION: APPROVAL 6. The County will transfer all public roads and bike paths under the County's jurisdiction to the Village, including Route 905. The Village will assume ownership of those roads and bike paths and all maintenance responsibilities. The County will assign its maintenance responsibilities on FDOT bike paths to the Village. RECOMMENDATION: APPROVAL 7. The Village will pay the cost of all street lighting to the power company. RECOMMENDATION: APPROVAL 8. The Village will take over maintenance and control of traffic lights. RECOMMENDA TION: APPROVAL 9. The Village will take over control and maintenance of traffic signage. RECOMMENDA TION: APPROVAL 10. The Village will assume all fire service responsibilities and will conduct those from the Islamorada Fire Station and possibly from some other location determirted by the Village to cover Plantation Key. The County agrees that the Village will receive (by transfer at no cost) the equipment included at the Islamorada Fire Station. This includes the two existing fire trucks. Equipment to be turned over to the Village does not include radios. The County will assign the lease to the Islamorada Fire Station to the Village. However, there is a mobile home co-located on this property which was purchased and installed within the last year and which is used as EMS on-duty crew quarters. The mobile home's utilities, water and electric, are connected to the Islamorada Fire Station. Monroe County 3 ""~~~.. must reserve the right to maintain this mobile home at the existing site as long as it is the provider of EMS to the Village, and furthermore, have the right to remove the facility if and when it is no longer the EMS provider. RECO~ENDAr.~ON: APPROVAL 11. The Village will be responsible for its Fire Marshal services. RECO~ENDATION: APPROVAL 12. The Village will continue with participation In Monroe County's Emergency Management program. RECOMMENDATION: APPROVAL ISSUES STILL UNDER NEGOTIATION 13. The Village is interested in conducting its Emergency Medical Services directly. However, it recognizes the difficulty of having those services established by October 1, 1998. Discussions have centered around the County continuing the EMS services at the same level as presently exists for a contracted price rather than the service being included directly in the taxing district. The County presently has an offer on the table of $61 0,000 for continuation of the same level of service as currently exists (which figure is slightly below the County's estimate of the Village's share of the district EMS expense) and the Village is presently offering $585,000. RECOMMENDATION: IF THE VILLAGE ACCEPTS THE COUNTY'S FIGURE AND AGREES TO CONTINUE THE SAME LEVEL OF SERVICE UNDER THE SAME PROGRAM AS PRESENTL Y EXISTS, THE RECOMMENDATION IS TO APPROVE A CONTRACT WITH THE VILLAGE FOR A PERIOD OF ONE YEAR. IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT AT THE END OF ONE YEAR, THE VILLAGE WILL BE PREPARED TO TAKE OVER THE SERVICE DIRECTLY. 14. The Village proposes to assume responsibility for its Solid Waste and related operations. It propbses to do this either through assignment of contracts with the County's current franchisees, or through a contract secured independently by the Village.' The County has taken the position that there is an obligation on the part of the Village to continue in the County's Solid Waste program, particularly for three significant reasons: 4 '".'.'-'J~"1" . '''~'':''''''W' ";<li'l!k~' , ',",. '~~'t. A. Part of the income derived from fees collected within the Village area is dedicated to satisfy the bonding requirements to pay for incinerators and landfill closure, obligations incurred for the benefit of Islamorada as well as the ~!lcorporated areas. B. Tl1e County has a contract with Waste Management, Inc. for the purpose of hauling out the County's Solid Waste to facilities outside the County. That contract has a provision which states that the County must meet a certain minimum tonnage or pay Waste Management as though it had met such tonnage. Tonnage from th~ Village area was part of the calculations for the original contract. Without the waste flow from the Village area, and without the fees collected from the Village area, the County will probably not be able to meet this condition. C. The County's position is that the Village would be interfering with contractual relationships (i.e. long tenn contracts with the franchisees and Waste Management) if it does not continue with the present system. The County Attorney and the Village Counsel continue to have legal differences over these issues. If the Village takes over the Solid Waste function, it will assume the County's Pollution Control function. Sludge services will be on a fee for service basis as charged to the balance of the County. RECOMMENDATION: IF THE VILLAGE CONCURS WITH THE COUNTY'S POSITION ON THE SOLID WASTE PROGRAM ABOVE, THE ADMINISTRATION AND COUNTY ATTORNEY BE AUTHORIZED TO INCLllDE THAT AGREEMENT WITHIN THE PROPOSED INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT. IF THE VILLAGE DOES NOT SO AGREE, THERE WILL BE A FURTHER REPORT TO THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS CONCERNING THE STATUS OF NEGOTIATIONS. FINANCIAL ISSUES The following issues are not yet resolved and there is a difference of opinion concerning the theories upon which the Village has proposed the distributions of funding. 5 :J,"\t" The Village has indicated that it is less concerned about statutory obligations and which system of distribution are ultimately chosen than about the total amount of funding the County will provide to the Villa~The following is the status of the negotiations: 15. The Village claims 40% of approximately $1,700,000 in roadway impact fees (account 130). The County has indicated that, if agreement can be reached on other major financial issues, it would be willing to provide to the Village the amount of funding presently authorized for expenditure in the Village under the Seven Year Road and Bike Way Plan. This figure is approximately $680,000. RECOMMENDA TION: APPROVAL OF COUNTY'S POSITION SHOULD ISLAMORADA CONCUR. 16. The Village claims 40% of approximately $274,000 of parks impact fees collected within the district. The County's position is that $200,000 of that amount is already programmed to the capital program for facilities within the district. That leaves $74,000 not' programmed. The staff recommendation has been to review the last $74,000 dollars paid in park impact fees and to identify what portion of that was collected within the geographic boundaries of the Village and, subject to agreement on other major financial issues, to remit that amount to the Village. That amount is approximately 2-1: ~ .t'",", - - RECOMMENDATION: APPROVAL OF ABOVE COUNTY POSITION SHOULD ISLAMORADA CONCUR. 17. The Village requests 40% of the fire impact fees presently totaling about $62,350. The Board of County Commissioners has already approved an amount for fire hydrants within the geographic boundaries of the Village. It is suggested that this amount, $18,000, be made available to or for the benefit of the Village. RECOMMENDATION: APPROVAL OF ABOVE POSITION IF ISLAMORADA CONCURS. 18. The Village has requested $500,000 to cover transition year expenses. There is neither statutory nor regulatory authority for that to occur and the request is not backed up with any further justification. Moreover, the County has also incurred major expenses as a result of the incorporation and has no "windfall" to distribute. The Administration's position is not to agree to such funding. 6 . .~\'.t!ll:": . "'.(o~"..".,, "I RECOMMENDATION: POSITION. AFPROV AL OF ADMINISTRATION'S 19. The Village is requesting 25% of the fund balances in the Fire District I accounts. This i~n the theory that they have paid into District I and should receive some of those funds back. Twenty-five percent would total approximately $300,000. There is not statutory authority under which this should automatically occur. RECOMMENDATION: THE ADMINISTRATION'S POSITION HAS BEEN THAT THIS IS NOT AN AMOUNT THAT SHOULD BE TRANSFERRED, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE ADMINISTRA nON IS RECOMMENDING THAT THE TWO FIRE TRUCKS AND ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT IN THE ISLAMORADA FIRE ST A nON BE TURNED OVER TO ISLAMORADA. 20. The Village is requesting that 2P% of the fund balances in the MUNICIPAL SERVICE TAXING UNIT account be turned over to the Village. This is on a similar theory as number 17 above. These funds include incorporated parks and beaches and the funds covering the variety of Growth Management activities. The number requested would be approximately $874,000. Once again, there is no statutory obligation to turn over funds in these accounts. ' 21. The Village wanfs all funds generated within the Village for the Monroe County Land Authority to be transferred to the Village. Once again, there is no statutory authority to do so. In addition, this issue should be discussed with the Land Authority, the Executive Director and Land Authority Counsel. Only for the City of Key West is there any type of fund segregation defined by statute, not in the other incorporated areas of Monroe County. However, the same result could be obtained by a less formal understanding between the Land Authority and the Village. 22. The Village is entitled to an amount of the infrastructure sales tax collected within its jurisdiction. 'It is the County's understanding that the State has already issued distributions to the Village and that those distributions would total approximately 1.2 million dollars for the year. That means that approximately 1.2 million dollars less will be available for the capital program for the County. It is reasonable to anticipate that the Village will receive its portion of those taxes. However, the Village's potential tax collections were included as part of the revenue flow in the justification for the bonds on the new detention facility on Stock Island. Those bond payments annually approach 50% of the total collection of the infrastructure sales tax. It is felt that Islamorada has an obligation to remit to the County that portion of their infrastructure sales tax distribution which would support the detention facility bonds for two reasons. 7 A. Those collections were pledged as part of the support for the bonds long before the Village was ever incorporated. B. Th&"."Yillage will continue to use the services of the detention facility and should pay its proportionate share of the capital cost. To date, the Village has not indicated that it will remit those funds. ADDITIONAL ISSUES There are a number of additional issues being discussed as identified below. Not all of these will need to be resolved immediately, but the Board should be aware that they exist. 23. The County presently provides Social Service Transportation and Veterans Transportation partially through utilization of the gasoline tax. There is also a Transportation for the Disadvantaged Program which the County supports. The Village has asked for additional information which the County will provide. It is the County's position that we can continue to provide these services County-wide utilizing the same funding sources. It would be much more difficult if the Village wanted the County to provide these on a fee for service basis or on an estimated contract amount. 24. In reference to the fire and emergency medical systems issues, there are a number of issues that need to be discussed and resolved. The following is a sample. A. How will 911 calls be taken and dispatched within the Village? Will the Village utilize~he present 911 system? B. Will the Village have its own communication network for fire? Presently, the fire network in the County is maintained by District 1. 8 c.~l~i~"_:, ',_::l~~> ~- L "'...:;;f C. How will Mutual Aide be handled with the Village for occurrences both inside and outside of the Village boundaries? D. Wha;-.wjll handle the inspection and maintenance of fire hydrants? E. Will the Village be requesting that the County undertake the training of its volunteers at the Monroe County Training Facility and, if so, will the Village be willing to provide payment for that service? F. Will the Village handle all its interfacility transfers for EMS and special events or does it wish the County to continue providing those services? G. Will the Village participate in specific parts of the County's Emergency Management program, especially the Special Needs Registry and shelters, or will it establish its own programs? H. The County must determine whether some equipment obtained under State grant can be assigned to a municipality. 25. The Florida Department of Community Affairs appears to have made a $15,000 grant to the Village. There is some question as to whether that is to be sent through Monroe County or directly to the Village. If it is a separate grant for the Village, the County has no problem; however, if it is intended to be part of another Monroe County grant and that $15,000 would diminish the amount of funds coming to the County, there would have to be further discussions. 26. The County presently has an Interlocal Agreement for maintenance and use of facilities at Plantation Key Elementary School. The question is whether the Village and the School Board will accept assignment of that Agreement as part of the Village's recreation program. There is a similar relationship with Coral Shores High School. 27. Discussions continue concerning whether the Village has the right to provide cable television franchise when the County already has an agreement with TCl. The right to franchise, of course, carries with it the right to have a fee 'paid by the franchisee. 28. The Village has once again raised the issue of the fine and forfeiture taxation and how it is distributed between what they call municipal as 9 ',~~$' opposed to COlplty-wide services. Although there are not specific proposals on the table for these negotiations, it appears as though the Village and the Sheriff are having discussions concerning law enforcement within the Village. '."".., 29. The Village is requesting that the Tourist Development Council include one member appointed by the Village. As is evident from the above, the transition for a section of the County into municipal status is a complicated one. Apparently, there is a significant number of issues that have been resolved. Others are closer to resolution and should be concluded within the next few weeks. The major sticking points are related to money and especially the difference between what the new Village feels it is entitled to from existing County funds and what it is entitled to from existing State Statute. As identified above, in many cases, State Statute does not obligate the sharing of those funds. The Administration and County Attorney's office will continue on the open issues to have them resolved and available for action by the County Commission prior to October 1, 1998. James L.

Roberts Monroe County Administrator Monroe County, Florida Public Service Building 5100 College Road Key West, FL 33040 Re: Islamorada, Village of Islands, Transition Agreement Dear Mr. Roberts: Pursuant to our conversation earlier this week, the following is an outline of the items which we believe need to be covered in a Transition Agreement between Monroe County (the "County") and Islamorada, Village of Islands (the "Village") for both this the transition year (1997-1998) and, on an ongoing basis, as well as our suggestions as to how each issue should be handled. I. Municipal Services For Transition Year 1997-1998 All services should be handled and provided to the Village by the County in the same manner and to the same degree as were provided prior to incorporation with the exceptions listed below. Mr. James L. Roberts May 7, 1998 Page 2 1.""",- A. Developmental Services. 1. Planning and Zoning. Pursuant lour charter, the Village will take over planing and zoning functions for new residential and commercial construction including, the intake of applications, the processing of applications, the "RaGa" process and any necessary public hearings. 2. The County will retain responsibility and functions for intake and processing for alterations and renovations for both residential and commercial find will continue to be responsible for any construction I under way. ! 3. All applications currently on file and being processed by Monroe County for new commercial and new residential construction will be turned over to the City and handled by the City. AnY' applications currently in the pipeline for alterations and tenovations for residential and commercial will be processed and handled by the County. 4. Amendments to previously issued development orders will be handled by the Village. 5. Replacement construction which involves more than 50% of the cost of the project will be considered new construction and handled by the Village, replacement with less than 50% will be handled by the County as renovations. 6.

Roberts May 7, 1998 Page 3 j ~"""'"!J. '. , 9. All applications for tree removal or major prunmg permits will be processed and handled by the County. 10. A more specific list of Village and County responsibilities should be attached to the Agreement. B. Bllilding Inspections. 1. Building inspections for new residential and new commercial construction will be performed by the Village. 2. Inspections for commercial and residential alterations and renovations as well as inspections for building resulting from applications currently in process and for buildings currently in process (both residential construction will be performed by the County). C. Code Enforcement. Code enforcement will be handled by Monroe County m accordance with current practice with the following caveats: 1. On a monthly basis, the Village should be supplied with a list of pending cases and the status of those cases. 2. A level of service would need to be established. 3. A complaint mechanism woulCl needs to be established so that as the Village sees code enforcement problems, contact can be made, an inspection done and a follow-up memorandum from the County as to action taken can be received. Any finds received would be retained by Monroe County. 4. The County will supply the Village with a list of code enforcement officers responsible for citing violations in the Village. WEISS SEROTA HELFMAN PASTORIZA & GUEDES, P.A. .j-~~ '" Mr. James L. Roberts May 7, 1998 Page 4 i~ II. 1998-1999 and Beyond A. Generally. As specified below, the Village will either continue with Monroe County on a contractual basis with a price to be determined, contract with an outside party or provide the service itself. In the case of each transition, we would suggest a department level detailed transition plan be worked out for each service to be transferred to the Village to insure a smooth transition with clarity of responsibilities. The Village would continue to receive all countywide services which are funded by countywide ad valorum taxes. B. Planning and Zoning. Effective October 1, 1998, the Village would take over all planning and zoning functions. C. Building Inspections. Effective October 1, 1998, the Village will take over all building inspections. D. Code Enforcement. Effective October 1, 1998, the Village will take over all code enforcement functions. E. Parks and Beaches. The Village will operate and maintain Anne's Beach and the park behind the Islamorada Public Library (see below). ' F. Public Works. Effective October 1, 1998, the Village will take over maintenance of all Village roads within the Village. WEISS SEROTA HELFMAN PASTORIZA & GUEDES, P.A. Mr. James L. Roberts May 7, 1998 Page 5 11'._ G. Solid Waste. Effective October 1,1998, at the Village's option we will either continue with your current franchisees or contract the service out on an independent basis. H. Fire. Effective October 1, 1998, the Village will provide all fire service within the Village independently from the Islamorada Fire Station and by contract with the Tavernier Station to cover Plantation Key. I. E.M.S. The Village will contract with the County for EMS Services. J. Animal Control. Effective October 1, 1998, the Village will provide this service. III. Property and Equipment A. Real Estate. The Village would like to discuss with the County the possibility that the County could deed or lease to it, on a long-term basis, the following pieces of property. Full maintenance and operation costs to be borne by the Village. 1. Anne's Beach (owned by D.O.T.) 2. County Park behind Islamorada Library. 3. County Road 905. 4. Islamorada Fire Station (owned by Monroe County School Board). B. Equipment. The Village would like to be given title to all equipment in the Islamorada Fire Station and all equipment budgeted to be purchased by District I during fiscal year 1998-1999 to be maintained ~nd operated at the expense of the Village. , WEISS SEROTA HELFMAN PASTORIZA & GUEDES, P.A. ;:~F.1i~:" Mr. James L. Roberts May 7, 1998 Page 6 '.~' IV. Financial Matters. A. Impact Fees. Currently the District 3 impact fees accounts have the following balances: 1. Account 130 - Roadway $1,700,000. 2. Account 131 - Parks $268,000. 3. Account 135 - Fire $62,000. The Village is approximately 40% of District 3 and, therefore, we believe we should get 40% of these amounts paid to the Village upon execution of the agreement. B.. Ad Valorum Taxes. The Village will levy ad valorem taxes effective October 1, 1998. C. The Village will receive the following payments from the County: 1. $500,000 to cover transition year expenses; 2. 25 % of fund balances in Fire District I accounts; and 3. 20 % of fund balances in MSTU accounts. D. All funds generated in the Village for the Monroe County Land Authority. V. Fine and Forfeiture Fund. In reviewing Chapter 142, Florida Statutes, the statutory authorization for this fund appears to be two mills. While the Village is more than willing to pay for County wide higher level policing services, certainly we do not want to be assessed for municipal service. It is our intention to contract with the Sheriff's department to provide municipal policing services on an interim and perhaps even on a longer term basis.
