Kathy & Bob,
We originally had this set up for a time approximate of 10:30 and I remember Roman saying to make
sure the MinuteTraq number was replaced by the agenda item number but it's now not on the Time
Approximate sheet nor is it anywhere in the agenda. What's the best way to fix this? We should
provide Habitat with an approximate time because he's travelling all the way to Key Largo. The draft
agreement is available but hasn't been sent to Habitat because we are not certain if their requested
terms are even allowed under our codes (Mayte is reviewing and, hopefully will have an answer for us
before the SMT meeting in the morning). That said we can send the draft to Habitat with the caveat
that it may have to change.
One option is to make it a discussion under my Staff Report (still should make it time approx.).
We could also make it an add on (same time issue)
Thoughts?

Mark,
I'm not sure why it's not on the agenda. It was originally on our draft agenda with a time approximate of 10:30. I'll look
into it and get back to you. I assure you it's nothing on your end. We have the agreement prepared. It is currently
being reviewed by our Planning Dept. Once approved I will forward to you for your signature.
Thank you

Doug,
We have initiated a conversation with the County attorney's office to resolve the code case. Our
Board will consider it at their meeting 12/12.
However, the lease extension we have agreed to work on is not on the December 14 agenda.
If there is a defect on Habitat's part that is responsible, we would wish to be told.
Our approach, based on the last email chain, was that the work items necessary to create an agenda
item belonged to County staff.
If the agenda is not able to be modified at this date, please advise us as to what to expect next.
Your help is appreciated. We are deeply concerned at this moment.
