AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of State of Florida Stan Mayfield Working Waterfront
Grant Contract, Resolution authorizing acceptance and execution of the Grant Contract, and a
Confidentiality Agreement for the acquisition of the commercial fishing property on Stock Island
formerly known as "Gulf Seafood" to preserve working waterfront access for the commercial fishing
industry.
ITEM BACKGROUND: The Stan Mayfield Working Waterfront Grant is awarded by the
Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) through the Florida Communities Trust (FCT). The
grant is aimed at preserving working waterfront specifically for commercial fishing, and will support
one of the County's most historic of economic bases.
The State and County will jointly purchase the "Gulf Seafood" property, an 8-acre parcel located at
6021 Peninsula Avenue in Stock Island. The State's grant award for the acquisition will not exceed
$2,291,793 and the County's match will not exceed $5,000,000. The State is the "acquiring agency"
and is responsible for all acquisition activities including negotiations. The County is referred to as
the "recipient agency." Upon closing, the property will be deeded to Monroe County.
The Grant Agreement, Resolution, and Confidentiality Agreement are on the agenda for Board
consideration today. The summary of each document/process step is as follows:
Step la) Execute the Grant Contract and submit back to DEP no later than August 15,
2016. This will facilitate FCT to begin the acquisition process, including conducting an
appraisal of the Gulf Seafood property and negotiating the purchase. Approval of this
contract confirms that Monroe County agrees to FCT to commence property acquisition,
subject to appraisal results and favorable negotiations. (As of agenda deadline, we are
still negotiating language details in the Contract with the State. These could not be
finalized by agenda deadline, so we have attached State's contract, with a cover letter
and the County's requested revisions from the County attorney's office)
Step lb) Execute the resolution certifying that Monroe County has the legal authority to
enter into the Contract, receive the FCT award, and that the County Commission
authorizes the execution and acceptance of the Contract. Submit resolution back to DEP
with Contract Agreement.
Step lc) Execute the Confidentiality Agreement and submit back to DEP no later than
August 15, 2016. This agreement, required by the State before it will begin the
acquisition process, maintains the confidentiality of any negotiations between DEP and
the property owner, including appraisals and any other reports relating to value is
restricted to the parties involved, until a Purchase Agreement is executed. If no purchase
agreement is executed, the confidentiality terms expire 30 days after termination of
negotiation.
Next steps and subsequent commitments:
• Step 2) Appraisal and Negotiation: FCT will conduct the appraisal of the property and
then negotiate a purchase price. If the negotiation is favorable, FCT will facilitate the
closing of the acquisition and deduct the acquisition costs from the grant award. If
negotiations are not favorable, DEP will absorb the acquisition costs.
• Step 3) Management Plan: As required by the Grant, Monroe County must provide a
Management Plan and The State and the County must agree with the terms of the
management plan prior to closing. This document will come back to the County
Commission for approval. The management plan will include a stated purposed for
acquiring the Project Site, proposed uses of the property, a site plan, a project schedule,
proposed physical improvements and cost estimates, and ongoing maintenance and
management responsibilities required for the project. It is intended that management of
the property will be leased out to an entity selected through a public procurement process.
• Step 4) Sale and Closing: The State and the County (collectively referred to as the
"Purchasers") will jointly execute a "Purchase Agreement" with the Seller. This
document will come back to the County Commission for approval. Upon closing, the
property will be deeded to Monroe County with restrictive covenants.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION:
December 2006: The Marine Port Advisory Committee recommended to the BOCC the purchase
of this parcel for preservation of working waterfront. The recommendation was further supported
by the Advisory Board for the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary with requested that the
BOCC "urgently consider the purchase of the Gulf Seafood site for the preservation of the
commercial fishing industry and associated traditional way of life in Key West and Lower
Florida Keys."
November 2008: BOCC approved application for a grant through the Stan Mayfield Working
Waterfront Program of the Florida Communities Trust (FCT) to acquire commercial fishing
working waterfront, specifically the "Gulf Seafood" property, an 8-acre parcel located at 6021
Peninsula Avenue in Stock Island, in order to preserve the property in perpetuity for commercial
fishing. At the time of the original application, the acquisition cost was estimated to be $11M.
The County committed $3.5M toward the purchase. The request to FCT was $7.5M. The
County's project did not rank high enough to be considered for funding in first round.
March 2015: BOCC approved the renewed commitment letter upon notification from FCT of
availability of $2M grant for the Gulf Seafood property acquisition. Staff met with the new
property owner, who expressed his willingness to sell, and offered a new acquisition price of
$7M. FCT requested that we provide them with a renewed commitment letter indicating the
County's interest in moving forward, and including confirmation of the County's contribution
toward the acquisition cost. However, subsequent to the Board's approval to move forward, the
property owner then failed to express an interest in proceeding, and the project stalled.
December 2015: FCT notified us that the grant had expired due to lack of progress.
May 2016: FCT contacted us regarding the status of our project, and provided another
opportunity for us to seek grant funds. At the same time, the property owner re -initiated interest
in selling the property. The proposed acquisition price remains $7M. The state grant will be
$2.29M and the County contribution will be $5M. These are preliminary numbers, subject to
appraisal and negotiation. The State/FCT will conduct the appraisal, negotiation and sale. FCT
has given us 60 days (end of July) to execute the Grant Agreement.

Agenda Item Summary #1872
BULK ITEM: No DEPARTMENT: County Administrator
TIME APPROXIMATE: STAFF CONTACT: Lisa Tennyson (305) 292-4444
N/A
AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of State of Florida Stan Mayfield Working Waterfront
Grant Contract, Resolution authorizing acceptance and execution of the Grant Contract, and a
Confidentiality Agreement for the acquisition of the commercial fishing property on Stock Island
formerly known as "Gulf Seafood" to preserve working waterfront access for the commercial fishing
industry.
ITEM BACKGROUND: The Stan Mayfield Working Waterfront Grant is awarded by the
Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) through the Florida Communities Trust (FCT). The
grant is aimed at preserving working waterfront specifically for commercial fishing, and will support
one of the County's most historic of economic bases.
The State and County will jointly purchase the "Gulf Seafood" property, an 8-acre parcel located at
6021 Peninsula Avenue in Stock Island. The State's grant award for the acquisition will not exceed
$2,291,793 and the County's match will not exceed $5,000,000. The State is the "acquiring agency"
and is responsible for all acquisition activities including negotiations. The County is referred to as
the "recipient agency." Upon closing, the property will be deeded to Monroe County.
The Grant Agreement, Resolution, and Confidentiality Agreement are on the agenda for Board
consideration today. The summary of each document/process step is as follows:
• Step la) Execute the Grant Contract and submit back to DEP no later than August 15,
2016. This will facilitate FCT to begin the acquisition process, including conducting an
appraisal of the Gulf Seafood property and negotiating the purchase. Approval of this
contract confirms that Monroe County agrees to FCT to commence property acquisition,
subject to appraisal results and favorable negotiations. (As of agenda deadline, we are
still negotiating language details in the Contract with the State. These could not be
finalized by agenda deadline, so we have attached State's contract, with a cover letter
and the County's requested revisions from the County attorney's office.)
• Step lb) Execute the resolution certifying that Monroe County has the legal authority to
enter into the Contract, receive the FCT award, and that the County Commission
authorizes the execution and acceptance of the Contract. Submit resolution back to DEP
with Contract Agreement.
• Step lc) Execute the Confidentiality Agreement and submit back to DEP no later than
August 15, 2016. This agreement, required by the State before it will begin the
acquisition process, maintains the confidentiality of any negotiations between DEP and
the property owner, including appraisals and any other reports relating to value is
restricted to the parties involved, until a Purchase Agreement is executed. If no purchase
agreement is executed, the confidentiality terms expire 30 days after termination of
negotiation.
Next steps and subsequent commitments:
• Step 2) Appraisal and Negotiation: FCT will conduct the appraisal of the property and
then negotiate a purchase price. If the negotiation is favorable, FCT will facilitate the
closing of the acquisition and deduct the acquisition costs from the grant award. If
negotiations are not favorable, DEP will absorb the acquisition costs.
• Step 3) Management Plan: As required by the Grant, Monroe County must provide a
Management Plan and The State and the County must agree with the terms of the
management plan prior to closing. This document will come back to the County
Commission for approval. The management plan will include a stated purposed for
acquiring the Project Site, proposed uses of the property, a site plan, a project schedule,
proposed physical improvements and cost estimates, and ongoing maintenance and
management responsibilities required for the project. It is intended that management of
the property will be leased out to an entity selected through a public procurement process.
• Step 4) Sale and Closing: The State and the County (collectively referred to as the
"Purchasers") will jointly execute a "Purchase Agreement" with the Seller. This
document will come back to the County Commission for approval. Upon closing, the
property will be deeded to Monroe County with restrictive covenants.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION:
December 2006: The Marine Port Advisory Committee recommended to the BOCC the purchase
of this parcel for preservation of working waterfront. The recommendation was further supported
by the Advisory Board for the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary with requested that the
BOCC "urgently consider the purchase of the Gulf Seafood site for the preservation of the
commercial fishing industry and associated traditional way of life in Key West and Lower
Florida Keys."
November 2008: BOCC approved application for a grant through the Stan Mayfield Working
Waterfront Program of the Florida Communities Trust (FCT) to acquire commercial fishing
working waterfront, specifically the "Gulf Seafood" property, an 8-acre parcel located at 6021
Peninsula Avenue in Stock Island, in order to preserve the property in perpetuity for commercial
fishing. At the time of the original application, the acquisition cost was estimated to be $11M.
The County committed $3.5M toward the purchase. The request to FCT was $7.5M. The
County's project did not rank high enough to be considered for funding in first round.
March 2015: BOCC approved the renewed commitment letter upon notification from FCT of
availability of $2M grant for the Gulf Seafood property acquisition. Staff met with the new
property owner, who expressed his willingness to sell, and offered a new acquisition price of
$7M. FCT requested that we provide them with a renewed commitment letter indicating the
County's interest in moving forward, and including confirmation of the County's contribution
toward the acquisition cost. However, subsequent to the Board's approval to move forward, the
property owner then failed to express an interest in proceeding, and the project stalled.
December 2015: FCT notified us that the grant had expired due to lack of progress.
May 2016: FCT contacted us regarding the status of our project, and provided another
opportunity for us to seek grant funds. At the same time, the property owner re -initiated interest
in selling the property. The proposed acquisition price remains $7M. The state grant will be
$2.29M and the County contribution will be $5M. These are preliminary numbers, subject to
appraisal and negotiation. The State/FCT will conduct the appraisal, negotiation and sale. FCT
has given us 60 days (end of July) to execute the Grant Agreement.

Ms. Johnson, I am the attorney tasked with reviewing the Mayfield grant document. I found a couple of grammatical
errors but I also have some language edits that I am requesting be incorporated and 'I also need to ask for a clarification
on one of the provision. The page reference numbers are from the document you sent to Ms. Tennyson on Wednesday
July 6 th at 10:50 a.m.
Beginning with Article IV, subparagraph 1, pag, 4 of 26 currently reads,-
1. The FCT Florida Forever award to the Recipient (the "Award") will in no event
exceed the balance of the legislative appropriation in the Florida Forever Trust Fund (accounts:
3480201-FY09 and 348014-FY11), for the Stan Mayfield Working Waterfront Program as of the
date of Acquisition (currently $2,291,739), and is subject to adjustment pursuant to Article IV. Paragraph
2. below.
Recipient shall supply a Match for the remainder of the final Project Costs.
Match means cash, eligible Project Costs, or the value of real property acquired for the Project
as determined by Approved Appraisal(s) as defined in F.A.C. Rules 62-820.002(15) and 62-821.002(3),
respectively.
The County has a maximurn of 5 million bUdgeted for this project therefore I would like to have that reflected with the
following edit;
1. The FCT Florida Forever award to the Recipient (the "Award") will in no event
exceed the balance of the legislative appropriation in the Florida Forever Trust Fund (accounts:
3480201-FY09 and 348014-FY11), for the Stan Mayfield Working Waterfront Program as of the

respectively. 11
Article IV, subparagraph 8b, page 6 of 26, 1 believe the 2hd line of the first sentence has a grammatical error, it reads;

2. The Recipient authorizes the administrator, employee, officer or representative named
in this paragraph, as Recipient's agent, to execute all documents in connection with this project on
behalf of the Recipient, including, but not limited to, this Contract or any addenda
thereto, purchase agreement(s) for the property, grant reconciliation statement, closing documents,
statements submitted as a part of the Project Plan and Declaration of Restrictive Covenants.
The Monroe County Board of County Commissioners is the governing body for the county and given the sums involved
here it would be inappropriate to delegate this function as provided for in Article V subparagraph 3. This subparagraph
needs to be stricken with the understanding that this contract and any amendments will go to the Board for approval,
Article VI I, subparagraph 2d vifl, page 10 of 26, grammatical error, last sentence currently reads.-

I believe it should read;
viii. Declaration of Restrictive Covenants, and Chapter 62-820, F.A.C., as more
particularly discussed in Article VIX. Paragraph 6. below.
Article XIV, subparagraph if, page 19 of 206 needs clarification, It currently states that the following constitutes an event
of default
f, If the Recipient fails to keep access to the Project Site open to the public.
Please clarify what "access" will be required and what "open to the public" means keeping in mind that this purchase is
for Commercial fishing working waterfront property. Unfettered public access would be incompatible with such a
commercial operation. It would create unreasonable liability and safety issues. I would request that you consider
deleting this language.
Article XVI, subparagraph a, pages 20 of 25, currently reads,
. Grantee shall comply with Florida Public Records law under Chapter 119, F.S.
Records made or received in conjunction with this Contract are public records under
Florida law, as defined in Section 119.011(12), F.S. Grantee shall keep and maintain public records
required by the Department to perform the services under this Contract.
Since this applies to both our agencies please consider the following edit.-
Grantee and Grantor shall comply with Florida Public Records law under Chapter 119, F.S.
Records made or received in conjunction with this Contract are public records under
Florida law, as defined in Section 119.011(12), F.S. Grantee and Granter shall keep and maintain public

for injury to, or death of any person or persons and for the loss of damage to any property resulting
from the use, service, operation or performance of work under the terms of this Contract,
resulting from the negligent acts of the Recipient, his subcontractor, or any of the employees, agents
or representatives of the Recipient or subcontractor to the extent allowed by law.
Since Sovereign Immunity can be waived I need to request the fallowing edits to this language¢
10. To the extent set forth in F.S. 76.28, the Recipient shall save and hold harmless and indemnify the
State of Florida and the
Department against any and all liability, claims, judgments or costs of whatsoever kind and nature
for injury to, or death of any person or persons and for the loss of damage to any property resulting

Nothing contained in this Contract shall be construed to be a waiver by either party of any protections
under
sovereign immunity, Section 768.28 Florida Statutes, or any other similar prevision of law. Nothing
contained
herein shall be construed to be a consent by either party to be sued by third parties in any matter arising
out
of this or any rather Contract.
I also have the following questions,-
1) Estimated timeline for the steps in process
2) Estimated acquisition/closing costs.
3) Re: acquisition costs, the Option agreement says the Seller is responsible for furnishing ESA and
survey ... so the costs of these won't accrue to FCT or Monroe, correct?
4) In the loth Whereas clause on page 2, second bullet — please add "some" before repaired seawalls, to
clarify that some but not all seawall areas have been repaired.
5) In Section IV. 1 and 2: there is contract language about grant award amount of 2,297,739 being subject
to adjustment. If the negotiated sale price turns out to be something less than 7M, does the grant award amount get
adjusted downward?
6) in Section IV. 7 -- What is meant by "pre -paid project costs"? Are these the costs associated with
acquisition/closing?
7) Once the project becomes profitable, are there any restrictions on how the profits can be used? Does
this eventuality need to be addressed in the management plan?

I. PERIOD OF CONTRACT
1. The initial term of this Contract shall commence upon execution of this Contract and
