AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Discussion and direction on the Homeless Safe Zone Interlocal
Agreement with the City of Key West.
ITEM BACKGROUND: On March 18, 2009 the County approved a Homeless Safe Zone Interlocal
Agreement with the City of Key West. The term of that agreement is for 5 years and is currently set to
expire on March 21, 2014. The City of Key West is also involved in a lawsuit and settlement
negotiations with regards to the Homeless Safe Zone. The settlement negotiations will likely result in
the relocation of the safe zone and the City is currently reviewing several alternative locations where
the safe zone may be relocated to; however, no decision has yet been made. Given the logistics of
establishing a new location and decommissioning the current location, the City believes it will need
additional time at the current Stock Island Location. As a result, the City of Key West City Manager
Bob Vitas sent a letter dated December 11, 2013 requesting an extension of the current safe zone lease
agreement. Staff is seeking guidance on how to proceed with regards to the City's request and
direction on the length of any new length of term the board deems appropriate.

RE: Interlocal Agreement for"Homeless Safe Zone"
Dear Roman:
The subject agreement was entered into between the Monroe County BOCC and the City
of Key West March 22,2009. The five year term with no option to extend or renew will
expire March 21, 2014. City Staff and the Commissioners have been working diligently
to source an alternate site and once selected start the relocation of the current homeless
facility to the new site. It is hoped that a December 18d'Commission meeting will result
in identification of the new site. As we discussed recently, you may want to be in
attendance as some of the sites under consideration are County owned.
It is clear that even with a site selected within the next several months the City will
require additional time at the current Stock Island location. Therefore, the City is
respectfully requesting your support and sponsorship for an extension of the current
interlocal agreement, under the same terms, through the end of the calendar year,
December 31,2014.
With your concurrence I will ask the City Attorney Shawn Smith to coordinate with the
County Attorney's office in the drafting of the appropriate amendment language.
Should you have any questions,please do not hesitate to contact me at the number above.

SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
COME NOW Defendants, CITY OF KEY WEST and MONROE COUNTY, a political
subdivision of the State of Florida and Plaintiff SUNSET MARINA RESIDENCES OF KEY
WEST CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION, INC:
WHEREAS, the Parties have engaged in extended litigation regarding the City's
development and operation of a homeless safe zone on property owned by the County ("Jail
Property") in close proximity to Plaintiff's property.
WHEREAS, the Parties have determined that it is in their respective best interests to
resolve the dispute without further litigation and thereby agree as follows:
1. The City shall use due diligence in relocating from the Jail Property to another
location. The steps the City shall undertake are described in paragraph 5 below.
2. Plaintiff shall dismiss the present suit, Case No. 2011-CA-911-K, as well as the
appeal of an administrative ruling in favor of the City, Case No. 3D13-1842.
3. Plaintiffs dismissal of Case No. 2011-CA-911-K shall be without prejudice.
Defendants agree to toll the running of any applicable statute of limitations to permit
Plaintiff to refile the instant action if Defendant City is unable to relocate the
homeless facility within the timelines described in Paragraph 5 below.
4. Plaintiff shall not oppose relocation of the homeless shelter to the Easter Seals
property ("Easter Seals Site"); however Plaintiff shall be allowed to participate in the
conditional use process to ensure compliance with all Federal, State and Municipal
laws, including but not limited to appropriate buffer zones, security and other such
considerations.
5. Defendant City of Key West has been evaluating the relocation of homeless
services to another location on College Road commonly known as the former Easter
Seals Site. The ability to relocate to any site is contingent upon a number of factors
such as financing and community, government and social service participation.
However, the City can work through its planning process to establish authorization
for use of property while these factors are determined.Accordingly,the City agrees to
use its best efforts and due diligence to:
a. Submit an application for development plan approval to the
Planning Department within 240 days of the final approval for
implementation of the revised PS zoning designation now being
challenged by Plaintiff in case number Case No. 31313-1842;
b. Secure issuance of a Planning Board resolution concerning
Defendant City's development plan within 180 days following submission
of the application for development plan approval;
C. Secure issuance of a City Commission resolution concerning
Defendant City's development plan within 60 days following Planning
Board action on the development plan;
d. Submit an application for building permits for construction of the
improvements authorized under the development plan within 120 days

development plan approval" is the date of any appeal or DEO challenge to

challenge is filed, 60 days following the rendition of the Commission
resolution granting development plan approval;
e. Issuance of a building permit for construction of the
improvements within 90 days after the building permit application is
deemed complete by the chief building official; and
f. Issuance of a certificate of occupancy with 270 days following
issuance of the building permit.
6. Plaintiff shall cause this action to be dismissed with prejudice upon relocation of
the Homeless Shelter in compliance with Paragraph 5's timeframes.
7. If City shall not comply with any timefi-ame set forth above, Plaintiff may refile
the litigation. Plaintiffs failure to refile the litigation based on the City's failure to
comply with any timeframe stated in Paragraph 5 does not constitute a waiver of
Plaintiff's right to refile the litigation should the City fail to meet a subsequent
timeframe as detailed in Paragraph 5.
8. By entering into this Settlement Agreement, all parties agree that this Settlement
Agreement shall not constitute an admission, waiver of any right, claim or defense in
the underlying matter should the homeless shelter located on the Jail Property not be
relocated. All attorneys executing this Agreement have full authority to bind their
