Our project uses a bundling of the latest information technologies with a Phone Tour that has MP3, text message, iPhone, and GPS capabilities. The system has unlimited phone access and 10,000 information sites on demand that can be used to enlarge the tour or to expand the system to handle any number of interactive programs. The Historic Markers are uniform in size and layout. They have a historic site location number, text pertaining to the site and most importantly an information phone number that will ,guide you through the tour. Use of the World Wide Web is central to our project. The website will feature a composite of nearly 500 years of community history. It will. feature an interactive digital history and community resource archive utilizing podcasts, oral histories, virtual tours of400 Historic Marker sites, Google mapping, a blog, and virtual access to numerous personal and museum collections. The project will bring the stories of our ancestors to life and connect significant events that shaped the community and the history of our country. The web home page will have a series of regularly updated trivia questions about local history, community and our island/ocean environment. A section of trivia questions designed for school children will be a great virtual learning tool or actual school trip for teachers. All project information will be accessible 24 hours a day and is free! Our community outreach efforts start with the schools. The local high school and community college students will participate in a series of intern programs. The intern programs will be open to history, journalism, photography, video and Spanish language students. In the process of learning research, translation, graphic design and text writing techniques for the Phone Tour and Website they will be exposed to our City and County archives and stories of the community. The High School is currently partnering with us to create a yearlong research class to accomplish our goal, Upon completion each intern will be eligible for school credit, an achievement entry on their scholastic resume, and a chance for a scholarship. The project will enlist local talent for the Phone Tour voice over narrations. These recordings will be the main element in the production of the Podeasts. We will select 5-10 individuals to be "the voices of history". They will be coached and recorded by KONK am talk radio. The project represents a whole range of community engagement. It creates an opportunity to hear, read and discover new and shared stories of the Florida Keys. It presents a record of place -based history that is often hidden in neighborhoods, museums, libraries and government archives. Our use of multi -media interactive technology will tie a wide range of information together and bring it to life. It will reach the international community who may never be able to visit but are eager to experience our world. It will also present our history and heritage to many in the Spanish speaking global community for the first time. The Florida Keys is primarily a tourist driven economy. The project will stimulate economic growth and enhance cultural tourism. Greater outside interest in our community will bring more visitors to experience our cultural assets and bolster our long-term economy. It will create new career opportunities and showcase the Keys as a great place to live, work and play. We must never forget that it is our rich, diverse, cultural history that has made us a great nation.

AGENDA ITEM WORDING: DiscussionVit 'onkegarding contract with Stand Up for Animals, Inc. (SUFA) for operation of Big Pine and Marathon animal control services. ITEM BACKGROUND: Bids were opened on April 28, 2010, and SUFA was the only bidder. t near nia ana subsequent offers exceeded budget and staff recommended rejection and re -bid. On June 16, 2010, the Board and SUFA agreed to a 90-day contract extension to continue contract negotiations; on July 21, 2010, the BOCC approved the 90--day extension in writing (from July 1, 2010 to September 30, 2010). On July 8, 2010, the pP y County Administrator requested an audit be conducted on all three County animal shelter providers to set a base line for guidance, in making any future decisions regarding animal control services, including the possibility of future consolidation to one county -wide service. On August 6, 2010, the County received a preliminary draft audit report on the contract with Stand Up for Animals, Inc. Based on that preliminary report, the County Attorney filed legal action to preserve the status quo while irregularities disclosed in the report were reconciled. PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: On May 18, 2005, the Board approved the original contract; on June 15, 2005, the Board approved an amendment adding an annual CPI adjustment and changing the contract term to three years with two (2) one-year renewal options; on May 16, 2007, the Board approved a second CPI adjustment; on June 18, 2008, and May 20, 2009, the Board approved the first and final one-year renewal terms; on June 16, 2010, the 90 day extension was granted, and on July 21, 20101 the BOCC approved the 90 day extension in writing. CONTRACT/AGREEMENT CHANGES: n/a STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Option (1) : continue with SUFA under current contract extension utilizing strict financial oversight (reimbursement of allowable contract expenses upon receipt of invoices and proper backup documentation), pending receipt of final audit. Reconsider at that time as to whether to enter into a new contract with SUFA. Option (2): provide SUFA with 15 days written notice of cancellation. If Option 2 is chosen, it will be necessary to utilize the Florida Keys SPCA and Humane Animal Care Coalition to cover the Big Pine/Marathon animal control operations on a temporary basis pending re -bid, and the pending SUFA bid under contract negotiations needs to be formally rejected and a new bid process authorized.
