The Governing Board of the Monroe County Comprehensive Plan Land Authority held a regular
meeting on Thursday, August 17, 2000 at the Key Largo Library. Chairman Nora Williams
called the meeting to order at 10:10 AM. Answering roll call, in addition to Chairman Williams,
were Mayor Shirley Freeman, Mayor Emeritus Wilhelmina Harvey, Commissioner George
Neugent, and Commissioner Mary Kay Reich. Also in attendance were Executive Director Mark
Rosch, Office Manager Kimberly Nystrom, Counsel Larry Erskine, and members of the press
and public.
The first item on the agenda was approval of minutes for the July 24, 2000 and July 27, 2000
meetings. A motion was made by Commissioner Neugent and seconded by Mayor Emeritus
Harvey to approve the minutes as submitted. There being no objections, the motion carried
(5/0).
The next item was approval of contracts to purchase Block 9, Lots 8 and 17, and Block 16, Lot
4, Rainbow Beach subdivision (PB 1-164) at a total cost of $2,441.50. The properties are to be
purchased with Preservation 2000 funds. A motion was made by Mayor Freeman and
seconded by Commissioner Neugent to approve the purchases as submitted. Roll call was as
follows: Mayor Freeman, yes; Mayor Emeritus Harvey, yes; Commissioner Neugent, yes;
Commissioner Reich, no; and Chairman Williams, yes. The motion carried (4/1).
The next item was approval to submit a grant proposal to the Florida Communities Trust for the
purchase of property on Key Largo. Mr. Rosch distributed an outline of the proposal to the
Board. To address concerns that the central sewer for Key Largo may result in increased
growth pressures, the proposal calls for a $1 million grant toward the purchase of land for
conservation and recreation purposes. The specific properties to be acquired will be identified in
the master plan resulting from the County Planning Department's Livable CommuniKeys
Program. The County will be the grant applicant and owner of the acquired properties. The
Land Authority's role would be to provide the required $1 million local match funds and to
conduct the acquisition activities. Doris Kendall and Barry Patterson addressed the Board. A
motion was made by Mayor Freeman and seconded by Commissioner Neugent to approve the
proposal as submitted. Roll call was as follows: Mayor Freeman, yes; Mayor Emeritus Harvey,
yes; Commissioner Neugent, yes; Commissioner Reich, no; and Chairman Williams, yes. The
motion carried (4/1).
