Approval of Interlocal Agreement between the City of Marathon and Monroe County for the transfer of
affordable ROGO allocations and nutrient reduction credits.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
The City of Marathon has requested that Monroe County transfer an additional 75 ROGO allocations and
nutrient credits from its available pool of allocations and credits. The County is authorized under
Comprehensive Plan Policy 101.2.14. The City of Marathon had requested and the County Commission
under an interlocal agreement dated September 18, 2002, the transfer of 67 ROGO allocations from the
201 ROGO allocations authorized to the County by its May 2001, Memorandum of Agreement with the
Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA).
As of March 28, 2003, the County had 57 affordable housing ROGO allocations available in its regular
allocation pool and 71 affordable ROGO remaining from the 201 affordable housing allocations provided
under its agreement with DCA. Only 11 affordable housing nutrient credits are available. Applications
for 18 affordable housing allocations have been submitted for consideration in next quarter's ROGO
allocation.
The County Growth Management Division has requested the City to provide it with information on the
status of the 67 affordable housing allocations provided to it under the County-City Interlocal Agreement.
The City was also asked to provide backup information on the number of nutrient credits remaining from
the 156 provided to the City under Rule 28.20.100.

AGENDA ITEM WORDING:
Approval of Interlocal Agreement between the City of Marathon and Monroe County for the transfer of affordable
RaGa allocations and nutrient reduction credits.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
The City of Marathon has requested that Monroe County transfer to the City an additional 75 affordable RaGa
allocations and nutrient credits from the County's available pool of RaGa allocations and nutrient reduction credits
(see enclosed City Manager letter). The City and County had previously reached agreement under an Interlocal
Agreement dated September 18, 2002, for the transfer of 67 RaGa allocations from the pool of 201 affordable
RaGa allocations authorized to the County by its May 200 I, Memorandum of Agreement with the Florida
Department of Community Affairs (DCA).
After the Planning Commission approves RaGa allocations for Quarter 2, RaGa Year II, the County will have a
total of 110 affordable RaGa allocations available including 71 from the 201 authorized under the DCA-County
Memorandum of Agreement. The County will have no affordable housing nutrient credits available.
As the County has no proposals for large-scale affordable housing projects in its development review and approval
pipeline, the Growth Management Division can recommend the transfer of 75 allocations for affordable housing.
However, as the County has no nutrient reduction credits available for affordable housing, the staff can not
recommend the transfer of any nutrient reduction credits to the City. The proposed Interlocal Agreement reflects
this staff recommendation.
Although the County staff has received some assurances from City staff concerning the disposition of the 67
allocations transferred to the City, it is still concerned these allocations are not being used in accordance with the
County's Memorandum of Agreement with DCA that limits those allocations to tenants with total household
incomes of no more than 120 percent of the Monroe County median. [The City's defmition of household eligible
for affordable housing is 160 percent of the median.] The proposed Interlocal Agreement contains specific
requirement that such affordable housing allocations are limited to households with incomes of 120 percent of the
median or less.

Sub: City of Marathon request for additional ROGO allocation for affordable housing
Dear County Commissioners:
I am writing on behalf of the City of Marathon to request an additional 75 ROGO's and Nutrient Credits
to help us satisfy the significant interest in developing affordable housing in Marathon. As you probably
understand, the availability of affordable housing in Marathon has become a significant impediment to
economic development. The workforce in Marathon has been priced out of the housing market over the
last few years as property values have escalated tmder continued pressures from Growth Management
regulati ons.
Although the additional 75 ROGO's and Nutrient Credits we are requesting will not resolve our
problems completely, I believe we can make immediate improvements to both the quality of life our
workforce lives with, and improve opportunities for economic development.
The City of Marathon currently has 40 ROGO Exempts set aside for affordable housing developments.
We are in the process of advertising an RFP to award these ROGO's for affordable housing
development (attached). Although the RFP will not be advertised until March IS, 2003 we already
have proposals that will require in excess of ROGO's.
We would appreciate your support of our efforts to increase our affordable housing stock in the near
tenn. I would be happy to address any questions you may have regarding our request and our desire to
move forward with affordable housing development.
Sincerely,
vJ./1, aJ
