AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval to enter into Amendment No. 2 to a contract with Casa
Marina Owner, LLC d/b/a Casa Marina, A Waldorf Astoria Resort, for conference hosting and
implementation services for the llth Annual Southeast Florida Regional Climate Leadership
Summit held in Key West on December 3-5, 2019 for an additional amount of $34,402.00. The
Summit was hosted by Monroe County on behalf of the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change
Compact, a four-county partnership created for the purpose of collaborative planning and
implementation of adaptation and mitigation strategies related to climate change.
ITEM BACKGROUND: This item modifies the revenue Casa Marina Owner, LLC d/b/a Casa
Marina receives under the contract to account for additional food and beverage costs, audio-visual
services support, internet support for attendees and speakers, entertainment, and miscellaneous
services in support of the event. A significant source of funds was raised through event sponsorships
and summit registrations to help defray the costs of the event.
Background: The Summit is hosted by Monroe County every four years on behalf of the Southeast
Florida Regional Climate Change Compact, a four-county partnership created for the purpose of
collaborative planning and implementation of adaptation and mitigation strategies related to climate
change. Monroe County has hosted the Summit in 2011, 2015 and 2019. Originally it was expected
that around 400 persons would attend the Summit, however the final list of attendees was 532. By
hosting this Summit, Monroe County hopes to continue to educate various agency staff,
stakeholders, elected officials, and media representatives from the surrounding area about the
potential effects of climate change, and also to continue to move the goals and projects of the SE FL
Climate Compact forward.
The Casa Marina was used as the venue hotel by the County. They provided the guest rooms at
discounted rates for the summit attendees (paid for by the guests), food and beverage (paid for by the
County through registration fees and sponsorships) and other services such as audio visual (that may
be paid for with budgeted County funds). The Casa waived or reduced many normal fees and
revenue guarantees in an effort to cooperate with the County for this event.
