AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of joint participation agreement and amended and restated
99-year lease agreement with the City of Key West to provide a new site location for the Florida Keys
Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals to build a new animal control facility to serve the Lower
Keys and Key West.
ITEM BACKGROUND: The animal control facility on Stock Island is in overall poor condition and
the County's Lower Keys animal control contractor, the FKSPCA, has raised funds in order to build a
new shelter. The FKSPCA has requested support from the City of Key West and the County to further
this project. The City, in consideration of this request, has proposed a new site location and has
provided an amended 99-year lease agreement to the County whereby property located at the old
transfer station on Stock Island, as described in more detail as schedule B in the lease agreement, will
be leased under the remaining term of the 99-year lease or until November 11 ', 2084. The County and
City also entered into a Joint Participation Agreement(JPA) in 1978 and in order to further clarify the
current obligations of the parties a revised JPA has also been drafted
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION:
• May 16, 1978, the BOCC and City entered into JPA for a period of 25 years which set forth the
obligations of the parties at that time.
• December 20, 1985, BOCC and City entered into 99-year lease agreement whereby the City
leased the current animal control shelter location and in exchange the County is responsible for
animal control enforcement and services in the City.
• The BOCC passed resolution 262-2007 exploring the possibility of the City of Key West
deeding to Monroe County the parcels of land on Stock Island now use for animal control
offices, sheltering, parking and associated uses to facilitate the building of a new animal
control/sheltering facilities at the current location.
• February 19, 2014, an Amended and Restated Agreement with the FKSPCA is also before the
BOCC for approval. The Amended and Restated Agreement with the FKSPCA binds the
FKSPCA to adhere to all of the terms and conditions as set forth in the amended 99-year lease
agreement and revised JPA.
CONTRACT/AGREEMENT CHANGES: Adds new site location as described in more detail in
schedule B to be exclusively used and developed as an animal control shelter; the development of the
new animal control facility/project must meet and progress under the schedule of deadlines set within
the lease; upon obtaining a certificate of occupancy for new site location the County will have 90 days
to vacate the current location; the County will be responsible for demolition and removal of the current
shelter.
