Lessor shall have the option to renew this Lease after the initial term,for one(1)additional ten(10)year term,as set forth in paragraph 4 herein,under terms and conditions to be agreed upon at that time. 4. Option to Renew. Lessor hereby grants to Lessee the option to renew this Lease Agreement for the renewal term on the condition that at the time Lessee exercises its option to renew,Lessee is in satisfactory compliance with the terms of this Lease and is not in default under this Lease Agreement beyond the expiration of any applicable cure period as a prerequisite to exercising any option to renew. Lessee shall exercise its right to renew and extend the lease term, if at all, by providing written notice of extension to Lessor at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the lease term. 5. Rent. Lessee shall pay to Lessor the sum of One and 00/100($1.00) Dollar per year for a total of Fifteen and 00/100 ($15.00) Dollars for the initial term of this Lease. Upon execution of Lessee's Lease dated October 19, 1993, it paid the total rental amount due of Thirty 3 and 00/100($30.00)Dollars for the entire lease term expiring on October 18,2023,which includes a remaining Five and 00/100 ($5.00) Dollars which shall be applied to the rental amount due on this Lease.

Utilities. Lessee shall be responsible for paying any and all costs of utilities, including but not limited to, water, gas, diesel; heat, wastewater, solid waste, electric, telephone, cable, and any other utilities of every kind furnished to the Premises throughout the term hereof, and all other costs and expenses of every kind whatsoever in connection with the use, operation, and maintenance of the Premises and all activities conducted thereon, including any development fees, connection fees and/or lines associated with connection to any of the utility services.

During the term of this Lease Agreement, Lessee shall obtain, at Lessee's own expense, insurance coverage for comprehensive general liability, automobile liability, and worker's compensation, as specified in Exhibit "B"attached hereto and made a part hereof. Lessee shall provide to the Lessor, as satisfactory evidence of the required insurance,either(1)a Certificate of Insurance or,(2)a certified copy of the actual insurance policy. The Lessor, at its sole option, has the right to request a certified copy of any or all insurance policies required by this Lease. Lessee shall submit written proof of such insurance policies required herein upon execution of this Lease and annually thereafter to the Monroe County Clerk of the Court,at 500 Whitehead Street,Key West,Florida 33040. Such policies of insurance shall name Lessor, Monroe County, as an additional insured on all policies,except for Worker's Compensation. All insurance policies must specify that they are not subject to cancellation,non-renewal,material change, or reduction in coverage unless a minimum of thirty (30) days prior notification is given to the Lessor by the insurer. The acceptance and/or approval of Lessee's insurance shall not be construed as relieving Lessee from any liability or obligation assumed under this Lease or imposed by law. Lessee shall purchase all policies of insurance from a financially responsible insurer duly authorized to do business in the State of Florida. Lessee shall be financially responsible for any loss due to failure to obtain adequate insurance coverage,and the failure to maintain such policies or certificates in the amounts set forth shall constitute a breach of this Lease. Lessor,at the inception of this Lease, has currently agreed to waive the requirement for Lessee to provide any and all risk insurance related to the property and any buildings thereon,including fire, windstorm and flood coverage. Lessor and Lessee agree, however, to review the requirement of property insurance coverage at the five (5) year anniversary date of this Lease to determine the ability of Lessee to thereafter provide such coverage at its own expense or financially contribute to the premiums paid for Lessor's coverage. 8. Maintenance of Premises and Facilities. Lessee has inspected the Premises and agrees to accept possession of the Premises in its"as is"condition. Lessee shall maintain the 4 Premises in a neat and clean condition at all times during the term of this lease, at Lessee's sole expense. Lessee shall maintain the facilities, including the buildings, sewage system, boat basin, picnic shelters, generator,fuel tank, and any appurtenances thereof,and any improvements made, in a state of good repair and in a sanitary condition at all times. Work such as stabilization,repairs, and painting will be deemed maintenance. Buildings shall be maintained as Historical Buildings in conformance with all applicable regulations,including any state or federal requirements. Lessee shall not commit, nor suffer to be committed, waste to the leasehold property, or to any improvements thereon. Lessee acknowledges that Lessor shall have no responsibility for the operation and maintenance of the leasehold, except to provide such municipal services as are available to and are provided to all property owners or occupants of property within Monroe County, Florida,at the Lessee's expense. The parties agree that neither the Lessor nor the Lessee shall have any obligation to the other party to maintain the bridge that currently connects the Island to Knight's Key. The Lessor will maintain the ramp from the bridge to the Island. If the bridge cannot be used for access to the Island,the Lessee may provide public access through other means, including the use of watercraft. 9. Permitted Uses. It is hereby agreed that the Premises shall be used for oceanographic and environmental research,for educational purposes,and other purposes and uses as more fully set forth in the attached Original Master Plan, relating to, but not limited to the preservation and protection of the history and environment of the Florida Keys.

Lessee shall allow public access to the island for at least eight(8)hours a day for a minimum of twenty-six (26) days per month, averaged yearly. Use of the island for environmental education by students of the Monroe County School System is encouraged,but shall not by itself count toward the public access requirements of the Lease. Public use as an attraction of historical significance on the island, in conjunction with use by school children at different or overlapping period of the same day shall count toward public access requirements. Lessee can manage access through the use of organized tours of the property lead by employees or volunteers of the Lessee or its assigns. Lessee will provide a published listing of the operating days, hours,and tours so that the general public and local business community can plan for visitation to the island. Lessee's obligation hereunder shall be subject to its obtaining all required government approvals to allow for public access and visitation and shall also be subject to any force majeure, safety concern or other conditions outside of the control of Lessee that prohibit Lessee from allowing public access to the Premises. Maximum capacity to the island and of each facility open to visitation shall be established by the Monroe County Fire Marshal and such capacity determination provided to Lessee within thirty (30) days of execution of this Lease. There shall be no overnight stays or lodging on the Island by anyone other than authorized staff employees of the Pigeon Key Foundation without notice to the Facilities Maintenance Director and prior written approval by the Monroe County Fire Marshal. Such request shall be submitted ten(10)days prior to the event date on an appropriate County approved Request for Use of County Property Form provided by Lessor to Lessee. Fire alarms and fire protection systems must be installed, inspected, and in service prior to any overnight lodging or stays by any staff or visitors, unless otherwise approved by the Fire Marshal. Lessee agrees to use all reasonable efforts to apply for and diligently pursue obtaining the governmental approvals necessary to permit public access to the island. If the island is not open for public access at least three hundred twelve (312) days in any calendar year for reasons other than the exceptions identified above, Lessee shall provide the Lessor a proposed schedule of the days the island will be opened during the next one to two 5 calendar years. The schedule shall contain a sufficient number of days that when added to the actual number of days the island was open during the prior year and divided by two(2)in the case of a one(1)year schedule, or divided by three(3) in the case of a two(2)year schedule, provides for an average of three hundred twelve(312)days per year that the island shall have been opened during that two or three-year period. Deviations from the schedule published to correct such deficiencies shall require Lessor approval. Compliance with the schedule shall be of the essence of this Lease, and non-compliance shall be deemed a default entitling the Lessor to terminate as provided in Paragraph 19.

The Lessee shall fund, pay for, or obtain funding for all construction, engineering, permitting, and maintenance of all improvements unless the BOCC grants an exception. The initial maintenance and stabilization work identified on Exhibit "D", page 5, attached hereto, may only be undertaken by Lessee, in coordination with the Monroe County Project Management Department, subject to Lessee obtaining all required permits and any other necessary approvals from any federal, state, or county authorities, including any Historic Preservation Commissions and the Monroe County Fire Marshal. There shall be no demolition of any historic structure without the prior approval of the BOCC. 12. Future Improvements. No structures of any kind shall be constructed on the leasehold property, or within the waters adjacent thereto, without the prior consent of the BOCC. Approval of the Original Master Plan or amended Pigeon Key Foundation Plan does not constitute this consent. All signs must conform to County Code requirements. Prior to commencing construction of any permanent structure, additional building or dock or dredging,the Lessee shall obtain written approval from the BOCC through a process commencing with provisions of a written request for such approval. Lessee acknowledges that the consent shall be upon such terms and conditions as the BOCC, in its sole discretion, shall deem necessary and that consent may be withheld unless Lessee agrees to all terms and conditions imposed by Lessor as a condition precedent to the granting of the consent.

"Minor improvements" shall refer to any work, installation, construction, grading or the like, on the leasehold property, which does not require a permit from any federal, state, or local government agency, including any historic preservation agencies. Minor improvements on any historic structure, however, must still be coordinated and facilitated with the Monroe County Project Management Department. Upon termination of the Lease,all improvements made shall become the property of the Lessor. 13. Construction.

It includes a draft of the Foundation's final leasing and • usage agreement as expressed through the master plan. 1 SECTION I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY SECTION L EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The programs described in this document include historical,educational,and research uses of the Pigeon Key facilities which will have a complete public access agenda. The Foundation agrees that the successful implementation of all three of these programs is vitally important to the success of the overall effort. The Foundation will encourage cooperation among area businessmen,Key's residents,civic organizations,and the Pigeon Key Foundation to develop programs which benefit all parties. We intend to be tightly Iinked to the Marathon community. An initial program of stabilization will make many of the buildings usable within six months of the lease signing. Arrangements have been made with a group of construction workers to donate their work on this stabilization effort. A major lumber yard has agreed to donate materials. The stabilization work will not violate the guidelines that must be followed for structures on the national register of Historic sites. The master plan describes the Foundation's plan to renovate all existing structures fully and to reconstruct buildings which existed in the past if zoning permits. This effort will begin after the stabilization program is completed. Funds for this work will be sought from governmental and non-governmental sources. The Foundation will work closely with the Grants Management Office of Monroe County to obtain this funding. Funding for other programs will be generated by user fees and by grants from interested agencies, foundations,and corporations. User fees can provide an increasing fraction of the operations budget as buildings become fully functional following restoration and reconstruction. We anticipate that this entire effort will be well received by the Keys community. 2 SECTION II. INTRODUCTION SECTION IL INTRODUCTION Pigeon Key is a treasured resource to the citizens and visitors of Monroe County. As such,it should be preserved for their appreciation,made accessible to these citizens,and used in a manner consistent with the fragile environment and historical heritage that it embodies. The long and interesting history of Pigeon Key has been well described in a number of articles. For the citizens of Monroe County,the island represents a rich link between the past and the present. Pigeon Key bolds messages from the days of the railroad,from the heyday of fishing camps,and from the traditions of Pigeon Key as an educational facility. These messages have deep meaning to many members of the community,and it is important that these messages be preserved. Pigeon Key also represents an opportunity for educators on many levels. While the site is in poor repair at present,it has the potential to be used as a site for environmental.cultural,and historical education. The thrust of this master plan shall be to present an avenue to make it possible for Pigeon Key to retain its character and beauty while having an expanded opportunity to link the citizens of Monroe County to their past.present,and future. PROJECTED USES OF PIGEON KEY The Pigeon Key Foundation is committed to using the Pigeon Key site in a number of ways to benefit the Monroe County community. These usages will be consistent with the purposes outlined in the text above, and include: 1. General Admittance Pigeon Key will be available to the public in a variety of ways to enhance the recreational,historical and natural experiences of the residents and visitors of Monroe County.The island will be open a minimum of 312 days per year with special events and festivals to be held throughout the year.The public will be invited en mass on festival days. In addition, community groups will be accommodated for meetings, invitational seminars,civic events,governmental meetings,and other scheduled activities. 2. Research Station The Pigeon Key site will be a research station for Mote Marine Laboratory(MML). It will be a base for studies of the various tropical systems in and around the Florida Keys. Research space will be available in the Bridge Foreman's House and additional needs will be accommodated in the existing laboratory/classroom building. This would leave other buildings available for museum,office,housing,classroom,and other use. The research facilities will also be available for visiting scientists and graduate students,as well as college students. 3. Multi-Use Education Center The Pigeon Key Foundation supports historic renovation and utilization of the facilities of Pigeon Key into a multi-disciplinary environmental and historical education center. By maintaining the small, isolated island atmosphere of Pigeon Key,our plans promote an unique atmosphere for comparing past and present Key's lifestyles, scientific research and environmental education.These opportunities will be provided for,but not limited to Monroe County students and adults. BENEFITS TO THE COMMUNITY The development of Pigeon Key,by the Foundation's plan,will have direct and indirect benefits to many citizens of Monroe County. First and foremost,it will be accessible and available to the community. Specific 3 access is planned for Monroe County students and teachers. It will also be available to the Florida Keys Community College for educational and research purposes,and for other educational programs. Additionally,an historically accurate site dating to the early 20th century will be developed. This aspect alone will prove to be an invaluable educational resource to all who visit Pigeon Key. The community will also directly benefit from special events that are envisioned for the site. This may include festivals,interpretive tours,sightseeing opportunities,nature study activities,and family-centered events,as well as opportunities for seminars,public interest lectures,and evening programs. It is anticipated that Pigeon Key will become a "host" site for various commtmity group meetings. Utilization of Pigeon Key as a site for commercials and films will also be pursued, providing the opportunity for additional income and exposure for Marathon and the Keys. We look forward to direct community involvement through the development of an active Pigeon Key volunteer group. This group would form strong ties in Keys'communities as it draws local citizens into a network functioning to support projects on Pigeon Key. Finally,it is anticipated that Pigeon Key activities will benefit local merchants. Activities at the site will draw many visitors to the Marathon area. These visitors will consume local goods and services,and,because of their positive exposure to Pigeon Key,are likely to return. Restoration and construction activities at Pigeon Key will require the purchase of materials from merchants in the Keys. Keys residents will do much of the construction work and local persons will be hired to work for the Foundation. Pigeon Key users will also need to charter dive boats,diving gear,laundry facilities,and catering services. These needs will vary from group to group but the total expenditures from the Foundation and the users of Pigeon Key should be a significant addition to the local economy. PRESERVATION AND RECONSTRUCTION In an effort to bring the various structures on Pigeon Key into a usable condition in accordance with Federal rehabilitation regulations,the Foundation will simultaneously start two activities: 1. ,Stabilization Structures to be used immediately will be examined and evaluated with respect to structural integrity and overall safety. The study commissioned by Monroe County(4/24/91)will be consulted as a starting point. Outside evaluations and recommendations will be secured as necessary. Items requiring immediate correction will be attended to prior to utilization of the structures. 2. Historic Renovation and Reconstruction An overall evaluation of all structures on the island will be done to determine which can feasibly be rehabilitated. Also,an historical research study will commence to investigate the possibility of building previously existing structures that would fit appropriately into the ultimate Pigeon Key concept. Upon completion of the initial structural stabilization and site evaluation,restoration and construction will begin in earnest in accordance with guidelines from the short-term and long-team management plan.All construction and rehabilitation will be conducted with input from a state licensed architect familiar with federal regulations. MANAGEMENT Day-to-day operation of the Pigeon Key site will be conducted by a staff hired by the Pigeon Key Foundation. It is envisioned that there will eventually be a full-time administrator,one full-time construction and 4 maintenance person,and one full-time education coordinator. Salaries for these positions will be generated from user fees,grants,and contracts. One of the initial concerns of the Foundation will be deriving job descriptions for these positions. The full-time administrator will be directly responsible to the Board of Directors, and will oversee all administrative work. The education coordinator will be primarily responsible for dealing with linkages among participating Foundation parties,the administrator,educators and community members. Maintenance staff will be responsible to the administrator,and will undertake maintenance and restoration projects in accordance with Board guidelines. INTENSITY OF PROJECTED USAGE AND PROJECTED IMPACT The Board of Directors will examine factors such as transportation,parking sites,classroom space,day and overnight accommodation space and other limiting factors(see Section VII and Appendix IV). Proper coordination of sequential and parallel activities scheduled for the site will be a part of this study. Because of the philosophical commitment of the Foundation to principles of environmental and historical preservation,all usage of the site will be compatible with the natural and constructed environments found on Pigeon Key. Intended usages will be developed with both environments in mind. RECOMMENDED ACTIONS 1. Monroe County Activities The Monroe County Commission(the Commission)agrees to lease Pigeon Key and its physical structures to the Pigeon Key Foundation(=the Foundation)for thirty years at the cast of SJ.00 per year with a First Right of Refusal. The Commission will support the efforts,to secure funding for historical renovation and restoration of the buildings which currently exist and which existed in the past. The Commission may participate with the Pigeon Key Foundation in proposals for research and educational program development at Pigeon Key. The Commission agrees to process the necessary building and usage permits in concordance with existing county ordinances 2. Pigeon Key Foundation's Agreement The Foundation will aggressively pursue funding for all aspects of the restoration, operation, and maintenance of the Pigeon Key facilities. The Foundation will establish a citizens advisory committee as a link between the goals of the Foundation and the concerns of local citizens and businessmen. The Foundation will obtain liability insurance as protection against accidents on Pigeon Key and on vehicles owned and operated by the Foundation. 5 The Foundation will provide access to Pigeon Key for a wide variety of user groups including the general public, students,educators,research scientists,conservation and historical organizations,and artists. The historic nature of the facilities at Pigeon Key will be preserved following existing and future Federal guidelines for the restoration and usage of historic structures,throughout the tenure of the Foundation at Pigeon Key. The Foundation will keep usage fees at levels that can easily be afforded by various user groups,yet at levels high enough to allow for adequate funding of ongoing maintenance and operational costs. Day field trips of Monroe County school children will always be admitted free of charge. 6 SECTION III. THE PIGEON KEY FOUNDATION SECTION M.

OVERVIEW OF PROGRAMS SECTION IV. OVERVIEW OF PROGRAMS This section defines the Pigeon Key Foundation's goals and plans for our use of the facilities on Pigeon Key. The three major programs envisioned for Pigeon Key include educational programs,historic programs,and scientific research. The island will be deemed"operational"after all issues of safety and insurance are completed. All the programs will part of our general adminitance agenda. PIGEON KEY FOUNDATION: EDUCATION PROGRAM The Pieeon Key Foundation's Educational Goals and Purposes The purpose of the Foundation is to educate and motivate individuals as well as enable them to weigh various sides of environmental,historical and cultural issues to make informed and responsible decisions. The Pigeon Key Foundation will accomplish this purpose through the attainment of the following goals: • Seeking a broad base of support from the local community to further the goals of education,restoration, and research. • Providing opportunities for Monroe County school children in environmental, historical, and cultural education. • Providing opportunities for all citizens and visitors of Monroe County in environmental,historical,and cultural education. • Ensuring that citizens and visitors of Monroe County will be provided access to facilities and programs. • Providing facilities and expertise to develop and establish a center for education,research and marine science. • Working with interested community members(businessmen and volunteers)and community organizations. • Using the facilities in a low impact.environmentally sound manner. _ . • Maintaining the unique,small island atmosphere of Pigeon Key to promote learning. • Developing the site as a residential and non-residential education center aimed at primary,secondary,and college level students. • Establishing demonstration projects to foster international cooperation in addressing environmental problems and environmentally sound living arrangements in the Florida Keys. A Multi-Use Educational Center The Pigeon Key Foundation supports the development of and full utilization of the facilities at Pigeon Key as an environmental,historical,and cultural education center. By maintaining the small,isolated island atmosphere of Pigeon Key,our plan will produce a unique atmosphere for historical comparative studies of past and present Key's lifestyles,scientific research.and environmental education. These opportunities will be provided for Monroe County students and adults and for visitors to Monroe County. 10 Target Audiences Keys Community and Tourisls: organized touring groups and open house events.

Initially we plan to develop a historical and environmental awareness display that will educate the public about the treasure that they have entrusted to the Pigeon Key Foundation. We want wide-spread public participation in all of our activities. We will develop a museum with displays of local cultural interest and we will need public support for this effort. The public will be invited en mass on specific festival days. In addition,community groups will be accommodated for meetings, invitational seminars, civic events. governmental meetings, and other scheduled activities. A schedule of guided tours will be developed in order to make Pigeon Key available to the general public. At present we are developing plans to use volunteer guides. A sign-up list for the scheduled tours will be posted at several locations in Marathon,e.g..at the Chamber of Commerce.hotels,the Natural History Museum,and at the Dolphin Research Center. A tour of Pigeon Key could be included in the visitor"passport"system that has been established for several other visitor attractions. Announcements about the availability of the tours will be published in local papers. At Pigeon Key information about the Pigeon Key Foundation will be made available,as well as, membership forms and volunteer applications. A kiosk-type exhibit,detailing the history and future plans for Pigeon Key,may be erected. A fee will be charged for the guided tour and a donations box may be placed close to the exhibit. Visitors will have access to aquarium exhibits,and various displays of interest to history and nature buffs. Construction of a museum will increase the attractiveness of Pigeon Key to the public. We expect to be able to solicit photographs and artifacts from the period when Pigeon Key served as a railroad construction camp. The University of Miami will also be asked to loan their Pigeon Key archives to us in order to develop a history of environmental education and research throughout the Keys. A record of much of this activity is described in The Monroe County Environmental Story published by the Monroe County Environmental Education Task Force(now the Monroe County Environmental Education Advisory Committee). Our memberships' involvement with the publication of this document will assist in the development of the museum displays. General Admittances Policy The Pigeon Key Foundation is extremely conscious of the fact that it is desirable to have tourism on Pigeon Key. Tourists are a source of income for the whole community,historic renovation funding is predicated on the fact that the public must have access to enjoy what has been restored. • Tourists will have an opportunity to see history in the making as they see researchers doing important and timely experiments that will aid us all to live better with our environment. • Tourists will see a historically correct Flagler Railroad Era setting as they tour Pigeon Key. There are two options for development of the Tourist Access Plan. Both options center on using facilities at Knight's Key. These facilities include ample parking,restrooms,boat docks,camping and lodging sites,and a pre-existing commercial structure suitable for a gift shop and reception center. Option One: The Pigeon Key Foundation will agree to allow an independent operator to run tours out to the island. The operator would be responsible for all aspects of this venture,and,with some 16 constraints,would be able to perform as an independent for-profit businessman. This operator would provide transportation to Pigeon Key,insurance as necessary,staff for the reception center, and guided tours. A minimal access fee would be charged by the Foundation for each tourist visiting the island;this would be included in funds collected at the visitor center. Option Two: The Pigeon Key Foundation leases the Knight's Key(or other)property from the owner and sets up it's own tourist accommodation program. In this case, the Foundation will be responsible for running all aspects of the business,providing transportation,managing a gift shop, and collecting fees. Pigeon Key staff or volunteers would provide interpretation for the group tours. Combinations of these two options may evolve. For example,a private bucinPcsman may choose to operate a concession on the mainland and provide transportation. After the tourist group is on Pigeon Key,staff members or volunteers may take care of historical and environmental interpretation for these visitors. At present,the Foundation has an open mind to the eventual shape of tourism plans. We are in contact with Mr. Eugene Kyle, attorney for the owners of the facilities on Knight's Key. We believe that with open understanding and a willingness to cooperate between area businessmen and the Foundation,tourism needs for the Marathon community will be well served. 17 RESEARCH PLAN Mote Marine Laboratory will develop a research station at Pigeon Key that can be used both by Mote scientists and by other research organizations. The Mote Research Station at Pigeon Key will occupy the building formerly known as the Bridge Foreman's House. This building is close to the water and to the dock. Its location is also ideal for a laboratory facility with a saltwater flow-through aquarium system. Funding for stabilization of this structure and appropriate furnishings will be raised through a combination of private donations and funds generated through user fees. Each project,Mote or otherwise,based at the field station, will be charged for the use of this facility. These funds will initially be used to renovate and then to maintain the research facilities. • History and Present Status of Mote Marine Laboratory Mote Marine Laboratory is an independent,nonprofit research organization dedicated to excellence in marine and environmental sciences. Since its inception in 1955,the laboratory's primary missions have been the pursuit of excellence in scientific research and the dissemination of information to the scientific community as well as to the general public. Although internationally recognized through the scientific staffs research and publications, much of the laboratory's efforts are directed toward Florida's coastal region. Through this research,the laboratory provides a center for the exchange of scientific information,hosting visiting investigators,student interns,seminars and conferences. Public outreach is accomplished through the Mote Marine Aquarium,an educational museum providing marine education programs for all levels,from school children through adult. MML has a staff of 88 full- time employees with an annual budget of$53 million. The laboratory is located on City Island in Sarasota,Florida,on more than ten acres,fronting on both Sarasota Bay and New Pass,with access to the Gulf of Mexico. The main building of 23,500 square feet houses a library,research laboratories,administrative offices,and a conference center. Prefabricated buildings provide an additional 7,600 sq ft of office and laboratory space. Experimental facilities include environmentally-controlled rooms with recirculating seawater systems for maintaining marine organisms ranging from phytoplankton and invertebrates to teleost and elasmobranch fishes. Specialized analytical instrumentation includes gas and liquid chromatography,mass spectrometry,atomic absorpti on specuophotometry,nutrient autoanalyzer,spectrophoto meters, compound and dissecting microscopes with computerized image analysis, video camera and video editing capabilities,and a host of field instruments for water quality analysis. A variety of research vessels are maintained at the laboratory, ranging in size from 12 to 38 feet. Visiting investigators are encouraged to work with Mote Marine Laboratory scientists to take advantage of these unique facilities and research opportunities,including the Center for Shark Research,an international research and education center for multidisciplinary studies and public understanding of sharks and their relatives, the skates and rays. Facilities also include the public Mote Marine Aquarium which features aquaria,housing many species of flora and fauna that inhabit the Southwest Florida region, as well as exhibits depicting research at Mote and a 135,000 gallon marine research and display aquarium where large sharks and other marine animals are maintained. Mote Marine Laboratory's Program at Pigeon Key The opportunity to develop a marine research station at the Pigeon Key facility is consistent with Mote Marine Laboratory's long range plans for research and educational programs. MML is a member of the Association of Marine Laboratories of the Caribbean and the Southern Association of Marine Laboratories. Mote scientists currently are working in Mexico,Colombia, Nicaragua and Panama, establishing an international reputation in tropical marine research. Establishing marine research activities,in concert with education programs for the public, at Pigeon Key is of utmost importance for protecting and enhancing the fragile tropical environment of the Florida Keys. 18 The type of research use proposed for Pigeon Key would be primarily to serve as a research station from which investigations of the various tropical systems in and around the Florida Keys would be staged. Initially most of the activities would be field oriented but a seawater system for aquaria and tanks to hold specimens for observations would be required, along with laboratory facilities for sample processing and controlled experimentation. Mote's plans for the research station include the addition of a sophisticated environmental monitoring system. This will be developed as the restoration work proceeds on the buildings and electrical system at Pigeon Key. The Bridge Foreman's House will be used as dedicated research space. Additional space needs will be accommodated through that existing in the laboratory and classroom building when research needs are not in conflict with educational uses.Structural renovation would be required in each building. Interior renovations would provide lab and office space for scientists,in addition to general use laboratory space. A seawater system will be built into one of the buildings or,if not in conflict with historical regulations,in an outside shelter. The Bridge Tender's House will be reconstructed and used as additional lab and office space. Other buildings will be available for housing,classroom and multipurpose use,depending on changing demands. At present no permanent scientific staff is expected to reside on the island. Mote and other scientists will use the dorm facilities or,whenever necessary due to occupancy limitations,stay at nearby hotels. It is anticipated that lab,office,and dorm facilities would be available for visiting scientists and graduate student research assistants, as well as college and school classes. Facilities will be provided through a user fee basis and scheduling will be coordinated by Mote Marine Laboratory and the Pigeon Key resident manager. It is estimated that MML scientists would utilize the Pigeon Key facility approximately 30 percent of the time. This figure may change when new research programs are established and after additional facilities become available. MML expects to be able to utilize the research facilities fully with scientists and graduate students from other organizations. Research activities are expected to include: a) Coral reef ecology: • investigations of productivity and diversity of coral reef systems,focusing on problems facing reef communities including global warming,pollution,natural disasters. • taxonomy of undescribed species • protection and enhancement of reef communities. b) Benthic ecology: • description and evaluation of soft bottom communities. • interactions among coral reef,seagrass and soft bottom communities. c) Seagrass ecology: • descriptive biological,chemical and physical aspects of seagrass communities. • impact and recovery of seagrass beds from pollution,dredging and storms. d) Tropical research extension of the National Center for Shark Research,headquartered at MML: • investigations of behavior,ecology,reproduction and sensory perception in sharks of the Florida 19 Keys. • initiate a shark tagging and tracking program to study shark fisheries biology. • specimen collection for controlled research studies. ej Pollution monitoring and impact analysis. • water quality assessment • monitoring toxic chemicals in water,sediment.air and organisms. • investigations of oil spill impact. Funding of Research at Pigeon Key Operational costs to maintain a research facility at Pigeon Key are estimated by MML to be$25,000 per year,which will be generated through user fees. Additional costs for specific research activities would be borne by the individual research project. • Research facility funds will be generated by the user fees that will be charged to Mote and other scientists. Examples of possible user fees for lab space and dormitory usage are shown in Table 2. MML would also use the Pigeon Key facility for educational purposes,anticipated to include conferences and workshops for specific topics related to research activities in the Florida Keys,summer camps for marine science students,intensive courses in specialized marine research topics,and training courses for science teachers. The inception of these programs is dependent upon the facility stabilization and restoration schedule. It is anticipated that it will be possible to occupy the research facilities fully after the restoration work is completed. We also plan to cooperate with other research organizations who would be interested in using the field station. Letters of interest for such use are attached to this document as Appendix III. Many other potential users have verbally expressed an interest. The organizations contacted to date include the University of Florida's Zoology Department, Florida Sea Grant, the University of Georgia's Department of Ecology, and the Florida Audubon Society. It is expected that we will able to book these facilities for 70 percent of the year. Additional user fees will,of course,be generated as the facilities are expanded during our third to fifth years of occupancy. Research boats will be provided,on a user fee basis, by Mote Marine Laboratory. These boats will be available to both Mote and non-Mote scientists. Mote Marine Laboratory regularly receives boat donations and good work boats are kept for research usages. We expect to keep a fleet of 3-5 research boats of various types and lengths at Pigeon Key. This equipment will be kept on trailers and stored under the bridge when they are not in use. Davits may be installed an the dock or in the seawater pool to lift boats in and out of the water. Mote Marine Laboratory has set aside a sum of$25,000 that will be available to Mote staff,during 1993, as a source of start-up funds for research at Pigeon Key. Part of this money may be spent on the initial stabilization and furniture required for MML's research facility. It is expected that we will be able to secure research grants and contracts that will sustain our planned use of the field station facilities. Several research projects that are currently housed at Mote's Sarasota Laboratory,that may use the Pigeon Key facility,include a DNR-sponsored study of post-release mortality of King Mackerel,a study of current literature on fisheries resources within the Florida Keys area,a study of shark immunological systems,and a NMFS and DNR sponsored study of shark nursery ground ecology and fisheries. The former swimming pool/holding tank will be 20 partially utilized as a holding tank for research animals. Mote scientists currently buy lemon sharks from Keys' fishermen and transport them to Sarasota for immunological studies. Future&search Facilities A flow-through saltwater system to supply large tanks and aquaria will be built during the second to third years of Mote's tenure at Pigeon Key. The system has not yet been designed but it will operate on principles similar to the seawater system at Crane Point Hammock. A second research building will be reconstructed at the site of the old Bridge Tender's House. This work should begin during the third to fifth year of Mote's tenure at Pigeon Key. The construction of this building will follow the original plans. If an adequate electrical supply is available we will be able to supply the facilities with computers and other sensitive electronic equipment. A recent equipment donation will immediately enable us to install two tide gauges at Pigeon Key,the site of a National Ocean Survey historic tide monitoring station,that will be used by research scientists and by students. The donor has also agreed to install the gauges and to provide training in their use and maintenance. 21 SECTION V. FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT • SECTION V. FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT PIGEON KEY BUILDINGS AND UTILITIES The buildings currently present on Pigeon Key are not in good condition. Much work needs to be completed to make these buildings safe and comfortable to use. We envision that an initial stabilization program will make some of the facilities ready for use within six months from the completion of our leasing agreement with Monroe County. As this stabilization program is progressing, we will be actively pursuing funding for overall restoration of existing buildings and reconstruction of buildings that were historically present on Pigeon Key. Utilities on Pigeon Key at present need to be upgraded to permit many of the uses that the Foundation plans for the facilities. The most urgent needs are the development of adequate sewage handling facilities and a potable water supply. Electrical supply upgrades must also be made as the facilities develop. We will utilize some new technologies for the needed changes in utilities. The zoning regulations that currently affect Pigeon Key may have to be changed to allow all of the activities that are planned for the island. It is our understanding that Monroe County will help the Foundation in reviewing zoning needs. We will explore possible changes to see if they are compatible with the Land Developement Regulations. ,Stabilization It is the intent of the Foundation to address the structural concerns of the County safety office adequately as defined by the"Monroe County Facility Safety Inspection Report"(August 28, 1991)relating to the structures on Pigeon Key. We have performed our own inspections and we will engage in the necessary repair activities to remedy the identified problems before allowing the utilization of the individual structures by any user group. Our initial efforts will focus on stabilizing areas of ongoing deterioration and towards providing protection against further potential structural damage. The main area of deterioration appears to be the floor system around virtually all water penetrations(kitchen and bath areas). As a general procedure,the rotted floor boards will be removed from these areas,proper bracing installed,and the floor temporarily replaced(until total renovation efforts occur). We also plan to paint the exterior through a community volunteer effort. The new paint will additionally stabilize building exteriors. An even more important aspect of this volunteer effort will be the reintroduction of Pigeon Key to the citizens of Monroe County. Estimates of the costs of the stabilization effort,without volunteer help and donated materials are shown in Appendix V. Restoration and Renovation As is to be expected, the actual historic rehabilitation of the various structures will be dependent upon available funds. It is anticipated that major renovation efforts will not be undertaken on individual structures until sufficient monies arc in place to allow the smooth and continuous completion of the intended project. Per the study commissioned by the County and completed by Mr.Dennis Beebe,the renovation costs associated with the existing structures could be well in excess of 125 million dollars(Appendix V). This amount does not take into account costs associated with remedying problems with various utilities,sewage disposal requirements,fees associated with professional assistance;etc. The final bill could potentially be more than 2.25 million dollars! The foundation recognizes that the only way to finance a project of this magnitude on a)eased property will be through private contributions and grants. Accordingly,we have been in continuous contact with Monroe Counties Grants Management Office to apprise them of various grant opportunities that we are aware of. We will cooperate with the Grants Management Office to assist them in the preparation of documents and grant proposals We also intend to pursue all appropriate grant opportunities that we discover through our own various contacts and 22 efforts. Additionally, we will maintain an ongoing pursuit of donations of construction materials and related services. A major lumber yard has already committed to provide us with the materials necessary to perform the various stabilization activities on the buildings where it is feasible to do so. Experienced construction personnel eagerly await the opportunity to provide their voluntary labor efforts in these renovation tasks. We are confident a continuous flow of donated materials and services can be obtained as specific needs are identified. The actual identification of the various rehabilitation requirements is an item that will take a considerable amount of time. This is due primarily to the necessity of identifying, as accurately as possible, the original appearance and structure of each building, Presently,the foundation is organizing a team of historical renovation, architectural experts,and historical societies to participate in the rehabilitation effort on Pigeon Key. Construction contracts will be put out for public bidding as required by granting agency regulations. As soon as the proper design details of each building can be identified a more thorough and accurate cost analysis can be developed for each site. Funds can then be solicited and designated for appropriate projects,work can be scheduled and finally, historic rehabilitation begun! Several other factors that could affect work flow would be zoning concerns of the County and potential sewage disposal problems. These and any other concerns will be resolved prior to the initiation of related activities. ask The dock on the north side of Pigeon Key will be improved or rebuilt as a priority project. Until this work is completed the former swimming pool will be used as a docking facility for small boats. oat Yard A small area may be set aside under the bridge to serve as a shelter and secure parking area for boats on trailers and other Foundation equipment. The ramp will be maintained through a system dependent on the collection of tolls. Tolls will be built into user fees and passes may be purchased for repeated use of the ramp. 5ewaee Treatment Alternative One: Septic tanks and approved mound-type drainfields will be built on Pigeon Key of sufficient capacity to serve all of the buildings that require toilet facilities and shower(grey water)waste treatment. Under this alternative,Monroe County may install a septic tank for the main house;the Foundation may choose to increase this capacity at installation time in order to treat larger quantities of water. The Foundation will support drainfield construction. Alternative Two: After this initial installation,the Foundation may opt for a two-level waste treatment plan. Human sewage will be handled with approved composting toilets located at appropriate areas of the island. Grey water from showers will be handled with a separate septic system. Alternative Three: A complete sewage plant(package plant)may be installed to handle all wastes generated on Pigeon Key. Additional methods will be explored,and a combination of techniques may be utilized. Electric Utilitieg The Foundation intends to operate the generators in place on Pigeon Key. 23 Alternative One: The Foundation will investigate possibilities of a new power line from the Marathon mainland. Alternative Two: The Foundation may increase power on the island by installing generators with a larger capacity. Alternative Three: The Foundation may experiment with supplemental electric power from experimental sources. This may include wind power,solar power and wave or current power. Combinations of all of the above may be implemented. Potable Water It is understood that the water from the old pipeline is non-potable. Alternative One: All potable water for educational/research groups will be brought in by individual users in suitable containers. Alternative Two: Monroe County has approved the construction of a new water-line to Pigeon Key. Alternative Three: The Foundation will consider experimental methods of generating additional potable water. These may include solar desalination plants, cistern collection, and other methods that will be of an educational nature as well as a means of securing potable water. 24 SECTION VI. FUND RAISING SECTION VL FUND RAISING ACTIVITIES AND PROJECTIONS Fund raising will focus on six individual areas: 1) Corporate 2) Funds,Trusts,and Foundations 3) Grants 4) Individuals 5) General Membership in the Foundation 6) User Fees We expect to receive operating and restoration funds from these sources. Other sources of income will be considered but we expect that the listed sources will provide the bulk of our funding needs. The following section explains each of the six areas of fund raising and the strategies we will use to acquire funds from each source. Fund raising targets are presented in Table L CORPORATE We have developed a data base of more than 700 major U.S.corporations. We will send(after the lease with Monroe County is signed)the Chairman of the Board of each corporation a letter asking them to get involved with Pigeon Key. We will follow up with phone calls so that they can direct us to the office which handles their environmental involvement. • We have made and are making appointments with major local corporations in the South Florida area. John Alden Insurance Company of Miami has expressed a definite interest in helping us as part of their community involvement effort. Others who have expressed similar interest are Southern Bell and Knight-Ridder. FOUNDATIONS,FUNDS,AND TRUSTS We intend to contact the environmentally.educationally,and historically oriented members of this group first. Other potential contributors from our foundations listing will also be contacted. GRANTS(other than research) All grant applications for historical restoration will be coordinated through Monroe County. Numerous grants are available to help with restoration projects. We have been advised that the best approach to obtaining restoration grants is to get an architect,who specializes in historical restoration work,interested in the project. The architect will develop restoration plans and present them to the appropriate governmental and private organizations. Mr.Dennis Beebe,the architect who developed the restoration plan known as the"Beebe Report"has expressed an interest in working with the Pigeon Key Foundation in this effort. As soon as we sign the lease with Monroe County we will actively pursue these grants in a cooperative effort with Monroe County. INDIVIDUALS We have contacted numerous individuals who have the ability to make major contributions. Jimmy Buffett's benefit concert(on December 2,1992)for the Pigeon Key Foundation at Gusman Cultural Center in Miami was the result of such a contact. He has said that he would like to perform more benefit concerts on an annual schedule. Contacts with other individuals include a discussion with Christa Ryan and the George F.Baker Trust. They would like to visit Pigeon Key after the lease is signed. We anticipate that individual donations will be a source that may result in major contributions but on an 25 unpredictable basis. GENERAL MEMBERSHIP General memberships will be solicited by mail and by brochures and forms that will be made available at a variety of locations. We also intend to network membership information with everyone we know and in turn with everyone they know. We are asking for a minimum contribution of$20. This will make the contributor a member of the Pigeon Key Foundation. They will receive the Foundation newsletter(sample attached)and an opportunity to visit Pigeon Key. Memberships will also be available for donations of$50,$100,$500,and$1,000 with corresponding rights and privileges similar to the Land and Sea Trust. USER FEES The organizations and people who use Pigeon Key for general use,historical,environmental education,and research will pay user fees. A schedule of user fees(Table 2)begins on page 27 of this document. The Foundation will keep the user fees at a reasonable level that makes the facilities easily affordable but high enough to afford the routine costs of maintenance and operation of the Pigeon Key facilities. A certain percentage of user fees will be set aside as a contingency fund for ramp maintenance,generator maintenance,and for emergency expenditures. Table 1.

He will need permission to enter the site and some specific direction on what are the prime areas of concern so that he can focus his attention accordingly. . In addition, I have enclosed some information on Misener Marine, for our review, indicating our construction activities for the Seven Mile Bridge and transmission line transporting power to the lower keys. In the course of our work, we have access to a tremendous amount of scrap materials returned from jobs including timber piling, structural timbers (10" x 10" to 12" x 12") as well as steel and concrete piling and other structural steel shapes. We are prepared to work with Mote in providing materials such as these, equipment and other services that might be needed in the restoration work at Pigeon Key. At Mr. Kirchner's request, I will put together a list of some of the people in the Keys that we are associated with that might also be of value on this project.

Their efforts to manage Pigeon Key with priorities for education and research should be applauded and need to be supported by this community. The group opposing them (The Pigeon Key Project) wants to manage the island for tourism. Hasn't there been enough damage to • the Keys and her ecosystems by the increasing demands of population - residents and tourists? It is inconceivable to me that a group would be opposed which wishes to promote education, sound management of a fragile ecosystem, and provide a base for the desperately needed research in the Keys which would address timely concerns ie: water quality. It is the singular perspective of the opposing minds which has brought the habitats of the Keys to the level of decimation which they are now facing. I strongly urge you to support the Pigeon Key Foundation and to select them as the lessee for Pigeon Key next Tuesday. Please keep me informed of how you stand on this issue. - - • Sin- ly�. • /7•'' 9) , • Bather Dine • P.O.

As you well know, Pigeon Key ie an invaluable resource with important tangible links to the regior.'a pest . That ie a rarity in our region, something that needs tender nurturing. The efforts of the members of the Foundation to protect the environment and create educational facilities, including a museum, will no doubt he of greet value in helping to forge a new Identity for your area. I applaud their selflaeanese and urge you to support their efforts. Our country as undergoing a number of significant cheegea in terms of its appreciation of public property and the praeervation of Pigeon Key is en important teat for the future. San Francisco is facing a aimlla3 teat in terms of the wise use of the Presidio complex end it hoe brought out much creative • n energy promoting public apace for educational and environmental purposes. • South Florida will face many such challenges in the future and I hope that Monroe County eppreciatee that the work of science, education, and tourism are not contradictory but can work harmoniously to the long term benefit of all if there is good wall and aeneitivity on all aides. I have noticed a broadening of interest by students and the wider public in appreciating the texture of local history, the history that surround& them. A number of student& at the Univereity-0£ Miami have expreseed interest in becoming involved in doing hiatorical reaaer`ch and helping in the efforts to recreate the experience of earlier eras in Pigeon Key's history. The quality of history preaerved and presented in Pigeon • Key can make a real difference to residents and tourists alike and I urge you to support the work of the Pigeon Key Foundation.

USER GROUP: ANALYSES AND DESCRIPTIONS OF FACILITIES USE PATTERNS User Group Considerations The following pages provide details of numerous user groups that may have access to Pigeon Key. This analysis has been prepared in order that we may have reasonable definitions of these groups and be able to plan and prepare for them. More groups may be added as this document evolves. The format that has been used by the Utilization Committee is as follows: USER GROUP; Definition of the group Definitions User groups within the education program will include two general categories of users; these are: Day use groups: Environmental and historical education for day use groups will be accomplished through tours of historic structures and research facilities,snorkeling tours of surrounding habitats,lab-based classroom lecturing, meetings,conferences or festivals. The island will also serve as a staging and departure point for field trips to remote habitats(reef,back country,etc.). Residential (overnight use)groups: Environmental and historical education through extended education programs or projects, conferences, environmental events, and other activities to promote communication and information exchange on issues of local and regional importance. STRUCTURES NEEDED Examines what physical structures and space needs might be required for the group. In some cases,alternatives are presented. LOGISTICS Considers logistics of transportation and staff needs for these groups. Other considerations are included as warranted. COSTS Describes baseline(overhead)and extra costs associated with supporting this user group. These costs do not include the Structures or Staffing costs identified earlier. USER GROUP: School Groups(Day Visit) Conceived for Monroe County students accompanied by their teacher. Will bring picnic lunches,require minimal amenities but some form of educational structure. STRUCTURES NEEDED Classroom space/30 students Classroom amenities(tables/desks/facilities) Outdoor activity areas Picnic area Lab facilities? Restroom facilities LOGISTICS Shuttle bus/boat Staff Support: Will require an on-site supervisor/educator. May be highly involved in educational delivery. May deliver in-the-water education. If this becomes an in-the-water program,may require: • acquisition of masks,snorkels,fins. • boats capable of 30+passenger service. • professional captains. • Insurance commensurate with activities(provided by the School Board). COSTS Would require all normal overhead costs plus some extra solid waste,sewage costs and extra wear-and-tear maintenance costs. If this becomes an in-the-water program,will be considerable extra cost. USER GROUP: Colleges and Universities Colleges and Universities have traditionally used Pigeon Key in a very"laissez fair"fashion. They provide their own food,rent boats on their own.and all of the instruction provided comes from faculty members from the school. Their programs have been provided without any structure supported by Pigeon Key staff. Programs: Survey marine education programs with some research. STRUCTURES NEEDED These programs need: Dorm space and beds Kitchen space,refrigerators Lab and lecture space Dock space Bathrooms/Showers LOGISTICS Transportation: Minimal. They drive,they rent boats. Solid Waste: Minimal. Staff Support: Minimal. Would need a"greeter"to outline rules and policies. Must have an on-site person at all times,but they would not be involved in education. Would be a resource person. COSTS Minimal. Water, electricity, cleaning products, etc. Would include salary for on-site person and general overhead(electric,etc.). USER GROUP: Mote Marine Laboratory Scientists and Visiting Scientists This user group will vary in size depending on the type of research project(s)underway at any given time. STRUCTURES NEEDED This usage needs: Bathrooms Showers Storage space for research equipment Research laboratory facilities* Boats and dockage Boat storage facility(under bridge) Sleeping quarters Cooking facilities Office space Parking area LOGISTICS Transportation: Boats and automobiles will be provided by Mote Marine Laboratory. Solid Waste: Will require SW disposal in varying amounts dependent on size of research teams. Staff Support: Mote Marine Laboratory will provide a non-resident director for all research activities at Pigeon Key. COSTS Costs of Mote's use of the Pigeon Key facilities will be paid by research grants and contracts • • Research facilities will initially be limited to one permanently dedicated building(the old Bridge Foreman's House). It will be equipped with equipment as needed by individual research projects. Wet tables and outside aquaria will be installed and maintained by Pigeon Key staff. • • USER GROUP: Visiting Scholars Researchers,writers,and artists. These people want a place to work in"peace and quiet"for an extended period. It is expected that they will bring the things they need such as computing equipment,bedding,food,and all support equipment. STRUCTURES NEEDED Plan A: Onsite residence Will need an office,lab,bed,kitchen,and bath. Plan B: Off-site residence Will need an area for daily work...may share office and lab space. LOGISTICS Transportation: None. Will require parking space,maybe dock space. Solid Waste: Minimal. Communications: Would need telephone/FAX/Modem access. Staff Support: Minimal. Would need a"greeter"to outline rules and policies. Would not require an "ansite person"at all times. COSTS Minimal. Water,electricity,cleaning costs.All costs would be paid by fee structure. Not expected to incur additional casts. USER GROUP: Volunteer Programs(FKNMS and TNC) The Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary(FKNMS)through a cooperative agreement with The Nature Conservancy (TNC)has established a volunteer program with full-time coordinator. Among the volunteers are groups(of 20) who will come from far away—requiring overnight accommodation. Length of stay will usually be a week(weekend or month),usually adults(including college students), year round. Activities will involve support of Sanctuary Programs(off Pigeon Key)during day. Volunteers are sometimes going through a preparatory course presentation. External facilities are available however,Pigeon Key facilities to these activities would be welcome. Staff is provided for presentations/courses. STRUCTURES NEEDED This usage needs: Dorm space (beds/bathrooms). Cooking facilities(refrigerator,gas stoves,BBQ) • Lecture/Classroom facility. Dive equipment storage shed. Outdoor amphitheater/Campfire circle. Dock. LOGISTICS Transportation: They driveNhave vehicle Charter local drive boat Parking: One vehicle with a permit to park on island. All others park at Knights Key parking facility • Laundry services STAFF SUPPORT Pigeon Key Caretaker Pigeon Key Orientation Pigeon Key and Local experts. Coordinator-with FKNMS volunteer coordinator. Interpreter - every group should receive an environmental/historical perspective presentation during stay. COSTS Minimal use of utilities(electricity,water,sewage,phone) Staff salaries USER GROUP: Existing Education Groups Under this usage the dormitory space and support facilities at Pigeon Key will be leased to other environmental educational groups that satisfy our purposes. Examples include Mote Marine Laboratory's Marine Science Summer Programs,Seacamp,Marine Sciences Under Sail,Marine Resource Development Foundation,etc. The lease would be flexible(for example a 6-day/5-night program time for MML's summer program). The leasing school or organization would furnish all teachers, instructors,boats and programming. STRUCTURES NEEDED These programs need: Dorm space and beds Kitchen space,refrigerators Lab and lecture space Dock space Bathrooms/Showers LOGISTICS Transportation: Minimal. They drive,they rent or bring own boats Solid Waste: Moderate to large amounts. Staff Support: Would need a"greeter"to outline rules and policies.

Would include salary for on-site person and general overhead(electric,etc.). USER GROUP: Residential Non-College Youth Programs This user group will be school children from Monroe County and elsewhere. They will be coming for overnight(1-6 days)programs,and will require guided instruction in program areas. It is envisioned they will come by bus,be transported from Marathon to Pigeon Key by a shuttle(boat or van),will leave the island on field trips (by boat or van),will eat all meals on island,will have meals prepared for them,and will require much supervision. STRUCTURES NEEDED This usage needs: Bathrooms/Showers Minimal personal storage space Minimal parking space Dorm facilities Dock access for boat field trips Lab and Classroom facilities Run-around activity space Central cooking and eating facilities LOGISTICS Food: Must be provided and prepared by PKF staff. Shelter. Secure dorm space,lab and class space. Transportation: Shuttle bus or shuttle boat plus bus or boat for field trips, Vans or boats may be leased as necessary. Solid Waste: Will require much SW disposal. Staff Support: Will require maximum staff support. Will need on-site general manager plus instructors at ratio of one instructor to 10 students. Instructors would have to be USCG captains,and would have to be on-site at all times students were there. Other: May require more than minimal insurance at times when this user group is on Pigeon Key. OPTIONS There are a number of ways to run programs like this. We can hire Captain/Instructors on an "as-needed" basis, rent 6-passenger vessels, and hire minimal extra staff for cooking. We can alternatively rent out the facilities to existing groups (such as MSUS/MRDF/Seacamp)who already have instructors and boats. We may also find it more cost-effective to request catering services for meals. All amenities would be provided by the Foundation. COSTS Will be major overhead costs. Food,toilet paper,cleaning products,etc. Would require all normal overhead costs plus the extra solid waste,sewage costs and extra wear-and-tear maintenance costs. USER GROUP: Pigeon Key Staff This user group varies in size depending on the other intended uses of the island. STRUCTURES NEEDED This usage needs: Bathrooms Showers(if residential staff) Minimal personal storage space Minimal parking space Cooking facilities(if residential) Office space LOGISTICS Food: Not provided.

While the closure of the historic seven mile bridge a decade ago has made access challenging, we are making great strides to maximize the full potential of the island for public use. The Foundation is committed to the current maintenance and restoration of existing historic buildings while taking into account our long term plans of expansion.This strategy allows for functional use during the bridges renovation and will prepare the island for the new challenges and opportunities the bridge completion will bring.The Foundation will maintain the island's quaint atmosphere while maximizing its possibilities that will turn Pigeon Key into a destination on its own. The Foundation board and staff are focused on providing a public space that will be loved and enjoyed by all residents as well as our visitors.The island will be available for our community and their events. With millions of dollars spent,countless man hours and 3 decades of service,the Pigeon Key Foundation has met every challenge and proven its commitment and sustainability as stewards of this county-owned treasure.We respectfully request a lease extension of 20 years in order to secure additional private funding partners and to continue our work of preserving the cultural history of the Florida Keys by promoting its healthy future. Respectfully, Kelly McKinnon Executive Director Pigeon Key Foundation Board of Directors Don Hiller(Chair) Mike Puto(Vice Chair) Carolyn Anthony(Treasurer) Jason Koler(Secretary) George Steinmetz Riet Steinmetz Duane Francis Richard Malafy Denise Decrow Paty Ivey .ft PIGS KEY FOUNDATION Foundation Plan Present - 2022 Hurricane Recovery and Improvements Pre-Bridge Opening Over the next five years,the Pigeon Key Foundation expects to invest approximately$3 million in resto- ration and enhancements to the historic structures in anticipation of the Old 7 Mile Bridge reopening. This strategy will increase our visitors'experience and position Pigeon Key as a destination on its own. • Restoration of the Commissary and Honeymoon Cottage. • Installation of a fire suppression system in all structures. • Completion of a centralized wastewater treatment system. • Restoration of the shark pool and gate with daily feeding and informational panels. • Replacement of roofs on four buildings. • Demo and construction of battery and generator sheds. • Design and build of new trolley system. *Please see attached matrix for a complete list of capital improvements over the next five years. , : .:*OT 1. ,. • .
