The Governing Board of the Monroe County Comprehensive Plan Land Authority held a regular
meeting on Wednesday, January 18, 2006 at the Harvey Government Center located at 1200
Truman Avenue, Key West, Florida. Chairman David Rice called the meeting to order at 10:05
AM. Present and answering roll call, in addition to Chairman Rice, were Mayor Sonny McCoy,
Commissioner Murray Nelson, and Commissioner Dixie Spehar. Commissioner George
Neugent was absent. 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 December 21, 2005 meeting. A
motion was made by Commissioner Spehar and seconded by Mayor McCoy to approve the
minutes as submitted. There being no objections, the motion carried (4/0).
The next item was approval of a resolution authorizing the transfer of title between Florida Keys
Community Housing and Land Trust, Inc. and Habitat for Humanity of Key West and Lower
Florida Keys, Inc. for Tract C, Porpoise Point Section Four on Big Coppitt Key.
Commissioner Neugent took his seat at the dais.
Mr. Rosch addressed the Board. Following Board discussion, Bill Loewy representing Habitat
for Humanity of Key West and Lower Florida Keys and Jerry Coleman representing the Florida
Keys Community Housing and Land Trust addressed the Board. A motion was made by
Commissioner Neugent and seconded by Commissioner Nelson to approve the resolution as
submitted. There being no objections, the motion carried (5/0). [Resolution 01-2006]
Mr. Rosch then discussed his memorandum to the Board concerning the class action lawsuit
Devick v. Attorneys' Title Insurance Fund, Inc. Mr. Rosch advised the Board that unless there
were any objections, the Land Authority would proceed as described in the memorandum and
receive a $4,631.24 payment from Mr. Erskine rather than filing claims in the proposed
settlement of the suit. There were no objections from the Board.
Mr. Rosch then reported that the Florida Division of Bond Finance has begun working on the
proposed bonding of the Land Authority's tourist impact tax revenue.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 10:25 AM.
