The Governing Board of the Monroe County Comprehensive Plan Land Authority held a regular
meeting on Thursday, January 19, 2012 at the Harvey Government Center located at 1200
Truman Avenue, Key West, Florida.
The Board held a closed session in the matter of Eugene Edwards, Yvonne Edwards, and Alice
Winters v. Bahama Conch Community Land Trust of Key West, Inc. and Monroe County Land
Authority, Case No. 2011 -CA-1 024-K.
Following the closed session, Chairman Kim Wigington called the public portion of the meeting
to order at 2:09 PM. Present and answering roll call, in addition to Chairman Wigington, were
Commissioner Heather Carruthers, Commissioner Sylvia Murphy, Commissioner George
Neugent, and Mayor David Rice. Also in attendance were Executive Director Mark Rosch,
Office Manager Kimberly Nystrom, and Counsel Larry Erskine.
The first item on the public meeting portion of the agenda was approval of the minutes for the
December 14, 2011 meeting. A motion was made by Commissioner Murphy and seconded by
Mayor Rice to approve the minutes as submitted. There being no objections, the motion carried
(5/0).
The next item was approval of a contract to purchase Parcel KX, Pine Key Acres, on Big Pine
Key for conservation. The total cost was $17,593.50. A motion was made by Commissioner
Murphy and seconded by Commissioner Carruthers to approve the item. There being no
objections, the motion carried (5/0).
The next item was approval of a settlement agreement in the matter of Eugene Edwards,
Yvonne Edwards, and Alice Winters v. Bahama Conch Community Land Trust of Key West, Inc.
and Monroe County Land Authority, Case No. 2011 -CA-1 024-K. Counsel Erskine addressed
the Board and requested approval of the form and substance of the proposed lease he
distributed to the Board during the closed session held earlier in the day. Approval of this lease
may result in the plaintiffs dismissing the lawsuit, making a settlement agreement unnecessary.
A motion was made by Commissioner Murphy and seconded by Mayor Rice to approve the
form and substance of the proposed lease. There being no objections, the motion carried (5/0).
