10/16/2002 Agreement
FUNDING AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into by and between the Board of
County Commissioners of Monroe County, Florida, (hereinafter referred to as the "County")
and Mel Fisher Maritime Heritage Society, Inc. (Hereinafter referred to as "Event Sponsor");
WHEREAS, the umbrella organization under contract to the County has recommended
to the Monroe County Tourist Development Council (hereinafter "TDC"), which has endorsed
the recommendation, that certain monies be allocated for promotion of an event;
NOW THEREFORE; in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, the
parties agree as follows:
1. County shall pay a sum not to exceed $20,00 (Twenty Thousand Dollars) for
promotion and related expenditures effective October 1, 2002, as described in the event
budget, attached hereto as Exhibit A, for production of The Last Slave Ships to run from
October 1, 2002 through July 20, 2003. Payment will be made only after Event Sponsor
submits invoices and support documentation acceptable to the County's Finance Department.
The advertising and promotion budget for County funding may be altered as to the individual
line items, or components, within 10% of the amount stated for that item or component,
without increasing the total dollar amount and without requiring a written amendment to this
agreement. The general non-allocated section of an Umbrella event budget may be utilized for
unforeseen permissible expenditures and for those budget lines that may require additional
funds. Monroe County's performance and obligation to pay under this agreement is contingent
upon an annual appropriation by the County.
2. Event Sponsor shall provide promotion and related services as described in the
Sponsor's application for funding, Exhibit B, attached hereto. All advertising and public
relations services or supervision of advertising and public relations will be provided through the
contracted agencies of the TDC and County. The agencies of record, shall receive payment
of work in progress upon submission of documented invoices associated with said event.
Event sponsor fully understands that funding is obtained from tourist development taxes for
which the fiscal year ends September 30, 2003. Event sponsor also understands that the
funding process through which this contract was made available by County requires event
sponsors to submit their payment requests as quickly as possible and to finalize all such
requests before the end of the fiscal year, if at all possible. In order for the tourist
development taxes to be utilized most effectively for the purpose for which they were
authorized, attracting and promoting tourism, the budgeting process of the County requires the
event's funding to be concluded in a timely manner. In recognition that the timeliness of
payment requests is of extreme importance to the funding of future advertising and promotion
for the stability of the tourist-based economy, Event Sponsor agrees to submit by September
30, 2003, all invoices and support documentation as required by the County's Finance
Department rules and policies. Event Sponsor shall not be reimbursed nor will Event
Sponsor's vendors be paid directly for any invoices received by the County after September
30, 2003, except that for events with promotional expenditures incurred between July 1 and

September 30, 2003, invoices must be submitted within ninety (90) days of the conclusion of
the event.
3. Event Sponsor shall reimburse County for any amount of funds expended by
County in connection with an event which does not occur as a result of any act or omission by
Event Sponsor.
4. Event Sponsor covenants and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Monroe
County Board of County Commissioners from any and all claims for bodily injury (including
death), personal injury, and property damage (including property owned by Monroe County)
and any other losses, damages, and expenses (including attorney's fees) which arise out of, in
connection with, or by reason of the services provided, event sponsored, or other activities and
funding associated with this agreement. Should event involve the serving or distribution of
alcoholic beverages, Event Sponsor shall obtain prior to the event a Liquor Liability insurance
policy naming Monroe County as a co-insured.
5. Event Sponsor shall maintain records pursuant to generally accepted accounting
principles for three (3) years after the event and shall permit County and its agents and
employees access to said records at reasonable times.
6. County may terminate this agreement without cause upon providing written

breach upon providing to Event Sponsor notice at least seven (7) days prior to the effective
date of the termination.
7. Event sponsor is an independent contractor and shall disclose any potential
conflicts of interest as defined by Florida Statutes, Chapter 112 and Monroe County Code,
Article XXI.
8. Event Sponsor warrants that he/she/it has not employed, retained or otherwise
had act on his/her/its behalf any former County officer or employee in violation of Section 2 or
Ordinance No. 10-1990 or any County officer or employee in violation of Section 3 of

discretion terminate this contract without liability and may also, at its discretion, deduct from
