FLORIDA KEYS AFFORDABLE HOUSING COORDINATOR
Agreement
Whereas, the Department of Community Affairs convened the Florida Keys Affordable Housing
Task Force in 2001 in order to develop a coordinated, multi-faceted strategy to preserve and
increase the stock of affordable housing in the Florida Keys;
Whereas the Task Force consisted of representatives from the Department, local governments,
other local agencies (Sheriff, School Board, etc.), private and non-profit sector and concerned
citizens to ensure participation by all community sectors;
Whereas, the Department and South Florida Regional Planning Council provided support services
for the Task Force, including facilitation, research and analysis and meeting reports;
Whereas, the Task Force met February 22nd and 23rd, June 5th and September 24th and identified
obstacles to affordable housing and strategies for improving opportunities for affordable housing;
Whereas, the Task Force determined that constructing new affordable housing units represents
only part of the solution to the housing deficit and that a multi-faceted strategy must include
housing preservation, rehabilitation, redevelopment and control of potential demand resulting
from land use decisions;
Whereas, the Task Force reached consensus on the need for each local government to adopt
Affordable Housing Action Plans that provide specific, multi-faceted strategies which shall be
implemented according to a specified time schedule;
Whereas, the Task force reached consensus regarding the need for each jurisdiction or entity to
provide funding to employ an affordable housing coordinator and to execute an inter local
agreement specifying the funds they will contribute;
Whereas, Monroe County should execute a contract with the Department of Community Affairs,
Division of Housing and act as the administrator of funds from the various jurisdictions providing
funding for the coordinator;
Whereas, the Task Force appointed a Selection Committee composed of Rebecca Jetton
representing the Department of Community Affairs, Nora Williams representing Monroe County,
Rick Casey representing the Monroe County Housing Authority and subsequently that Selection
Committee appointed Peter Rosasco representing Affordable Housing Developers and Jaimie
Ross representing the Environmental Community to form the Oversight Committee;
Whereas, the Oversight Committee will work with the County Manager to hire the selected
person, establish the goals of the contract and work products to be accomplished, certify that work
products have been accomplished satisfactorily and in accordance with state law and audit
requirements prior to payment; maintain records, provide direction to the Coordinator, direct the
completion of work products and provide reports to the funding sources.
Whereas, the signing of this document indicates the solidarity of purpose achieved by this group
to ensure continued coordination among local governments, local agencies, and public and private
sector entities to facilitate housing preservation, redevelopment and construction.
Now Therefore, The Lodging Association of the Florida Keys and Key West agrees that the
si~l.ing of the agreement is a commitment to forward funding to Monroe County in the amount of
$ .1 bOO within thirty days of execution of this agreement demonstrating support for the hiring
