MONROE COUNTY, through resolution of its Board of County Commis-

W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the COUNTY has determined that the lobster and
stonecrab industries are of vital economic importance to the
COUNTY and the State of Florida; and
WHEREAS, lobster and stonecrab traps are being stored on
rights -of -way that the Department of Transportation ("DEPART-
MENT") has legal right, title and interest; and
WHEREAS, the DEPARTMENT and the COUNTY agree that it would
be in the best interest of the general public to enter into a
joint agreement to deal with the unpermitted storage of lobster
and stonecrab traps within the DEPARTMENT's right-of-way; and
WHEREAS, the DEPARTMENT and the COUNTY agree that the
economic impacts of total trap removal from the DEPARTMENT's
right-of-way will be reduced by providing area(s) suitable for
storage of lobster and stonecrab traps; now, therefore,
IN CONSIDERATION of the premises and covenants contained
herein, the parties agree as follows:
1. In exchange for the COUNTY's granting and assigning to
OFF the use rights to certain area(s) of real property as iden-
tified hereinafter and referred to as the "AREA", OFF will assist
the COUNTY and the DEPARTMENT in its efforts to enforce Section
337.406 of the Florida Statutes, and agrees to act in accordance
with all federal, state and local law.
2. OFF will accept assignment of use rights of AREA(S)
listed and identified in Attachment"A" and made a part hereof,
subject to prior lease, if any, for the purpose of storage and
repair of lobster and stonecrab traps only and will act as
administrator of the day-to-day operations of the AREA(S).
3. OFF may sublet or assign smaller parcels of the AREA(S)
to individual fishermen within each AREA. OFF will accept the
AREA(S) in"as is" condition and all improvements by OFF or its
lessees or assigns must be approved by the COUNTY and the DEPART-
MENT. OFF shall use as a standard for subletting or assignment
the previous historical usage of the AREA by identified individu-
als.
4. Perimeter boundaries of each AREA described in Attach-
ment "A" will be delineated by a recognizable boundary approved
by the DEPARTMENT.
5. OFF shall manage or may contract the management of the
AREA(S) with prior written permission from the COUNTY. Leases to
individual fishermen shall be granted in a nondiscriminatory
manner. All lessees shall hold a lobster or stonecrab fishing
license with a current lobster and/or stonecrab number issued by
the State of Florida Department of Natural Resources. It is
specifically agreed by the COUNTY and OFF that any fees or other
charges assessed shall be for the management, operations, in-
spection and maintenance of the AREA(S) and shall not be for the
purpose of making profit.
6. OFF shall maintain the AREA(S) in a clean, safe, and
sanitary condition in conformity with local, county, and state

this Agreement. Traps shall be neatly stacked in rows and no

to said traps within the AREA(S) or at any other location within
2
the DEPARTMENT's right-of-way.
7. All operations associated with the storage of traps
(repair, etc.) will be performed within the designated AREA(S).
8. OFF or its lessees or assigns shall make no alteration
or improvements to the AREA(S) without first obtaining the
written consent of the DEPARTMENT and the COUNTY.
9. Upon the termination of this Agreement, OFF shall quit
and surrender use of the AREA(S) quiet and peaceably in as good
order and condition as the same were at the commencement of this
Agreement, reasonable wear, tear and damage by the elements
excepted.
10. OFF shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless and
release the COUNTY from any and all suits, actions, administra-
tive proceedings, claims damages, fines, costs, and expenses
arising from or associated with any act, omission, fault or
negligent incident to the exercise of rights granted to the OFF
or any of its lessees under this Agreement.
11. OFF shall secure and keep in full force and effect
throughout the term of this Agreement, or any extension of it, at
the OFF's own costs and expense, comprehensive public liability
insurance, and property damage insurance coverage acceptable to
the COUNTY covering the property and all operations in connection
therewith. Proof of said insurance shall be provided to the
COUNTY upon execution of this Agreement.
12. The DEPARTMENT and COUNTY and all their designated
representatives including, but not limited to, utility company
workers, shall be allowed free access to the premises.
13. Unless an emergency situation should arise that would

der the AREA(S), the COUNTY shall have the right to petition the

by this Agreement.
18. OFF agrees that failure of OFF to comply with any terms
and conditions of this Agreement shall constitute a breach of
this Agreement.
