Local Funds RE T RE Act
Monroe County will receive an automatic allotment of
( t. RESTORE Act funding in the event of a settlement.
Here are estimates for Monroe County's local amount, based
on range of settlement amounts:
SettlementAmount Local Distribution to Monroe
$ 5B $ 5.8M
IOB 11 .6M
I5B 17.4M
20B 23.3M
Why is the money coming to the County? The RESTORE Act legislation directs the
State of Florida's funding to "coastal political subdivisions" defined in the Act as "any
local political jurisdiction that is immediately below the State level of government,
including a county, parish or borough, with a coastline that is contiguous with any
portion of the United States Gulf of Mexico."

r
I
r9 ,A
rtrtr, r Distributionof Local Funds
To distribute these funds, the County will need to:
Establish a local Restore Act Committee.
• The main responsibility of committee is to solicit
project applications, review applications, evaluate
projects,rank projects, and present itsrankediist
to the County Commission for_ approval. (BOCC
has final authority):
2. Develop selection process for projects to be
funded with RESTORE dollars.
• In order to solicit, evaluate and rank projects, we
will need to develop an application,; an application
process and scoring criteria.

::/ Local RESTORE Act Committee Composition
f J=;�.
• BOCC needs to determine:
O General composition of this committee, and
Selection/appointment process for each member
N---- i • Considerations for Committee Composition:
• Appropriately representative but manageable in size (9?)
• Expertise:_Members_with_diversified_ backgrounds,_including the knowledge
related to the allowable uses of the funds, and expertise to perform the
responsibilities of the committee.
• Subject area expertise: env, ecol, fisheries, tourism, eco development,
financial/gov contracts/grants
• Reps from: SAC,TDC, Fishing Industry, etc.
• Keys-wide geographic representation and/or specific municipal representation
• Representatives of applicants for funding on committee yes/no?
(If yes, conflict of interest issues. If no, limiting our pool of expertise on committee.)
• Elected officials on committee — yes/no? (If yes, officials will be constrained by
sunshine.)

Additional considerations:
_ .�
• Only 4 or 5 of the 23 affected counties have started
down this path . . . we may learn a lot as other counties
start to develop their committees and application
procedures.
• Considering all of the uncertainty that still exists, we
may wish to allow ourselves some flexibility with the
local council make-up and its role.
One recommendation would be to make it clear in the
resolution that the BOCC anticipates that additional
changes may be made to the composition and
representation on the local Council as this whole thing
evolves, as we learn the rules from the Treasury, and as
we learn from other counties.

-` Project RankingCriteria
The BOCC may wish to assign a higher ranking for some projects based on
additional project benefits or components, such as:
• The project's impact(s) or benefit(s) is Keys-wide
• Demonstrated economic benefit
• Demonstrated environmental benefit
• Ability to leverage other sources of funding (match)
• Long-term implications/lasting value
• Shovel-readiness
• Comprehensive Plan projects
• Consistency with local government comprehensive plans
• Capital Improvement Plan projects
• Consideration of request amount (setting of min or max amounts to
funding requests)
I3
a
��
� Funding APPlication . Process
Project applications will be developed. In addition to the ranking
I criteria, applications will require standard grant request
information, such as:
.., , • Project descriptions/need/science/benefits, costs and
timelines
• Demonstrated applicant, experience/expertise related to the
proposed project, and ability to manage project type and size
• Demonstrated applicant experience managing government
grants and contracts, financial history and track record, etc.
Process.: A timeframe and process for soliciting and accepting
applications will be developed.
Pre-proposals: Due to the uncertainty regarding the amount of
funding and when the funding might be available, we may wish to
consider developing an interest form or pre-proposal initially, so
e, that we can start gauging the level of interest and range of
projects, without asking applicants to devote an inordinate
amount of time to full-blown applications. 14
Recapfor Next Steps
• Decide upon Committee composition
• Decide uponon selection process (appointments and/or
nominations)
• Develop/approve a resolution
• Develop parameters for project ranking — scoring
criteria or guiding principles (inc. in reso?)
• Develop an interest for funding/pre-proposals form, in
advance of full, formal application
ti
• Continue to post information and links on County
website
