BULK ITEM: No DEPARTMENT: Land Authority Governing Board

AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of Second Amended and Restated Interlocal Agreement
between Monroe County Land Authority (MCLA) and the Monroe County Board of County
Commissioners (BOCC) regarding the administration of Land Acquisition and Management
Programs.
ITEM BACKGROUND: The County and Land Authority (MCLA) entered into an interlocal
agreement on July 21, 2021 consolidating acquisition programs previously administered by County
staff with the Land Authority. The agreement was amended on September 15, 2021 to allow
reimbursement of MCLA staff time under the Community Development Block Grant — Disaster
Recovery (CDBG-DR) Voluntary Home Buyout(VHBO)Program also referred to as "VHBP".
The 2nd amendment is proposed to allow the MCLA to administer FEMA funded HMGP and FMA
Elevation and Demolition/Reconstruction programs, as well as any future State or Federal grants for
elevating structures, etc.
Previously, the MCLA powers did not allow it to administer elevations or demolition/reconstruction
grants; however, to streamline grant administration these programs are being moved to the MCLA
management.
To accomplish this, the State enacted Chapter 2022-75, Laws of Florida, (Senate Bill 442) which
broadened the MCLA powers to include:
380.0666 Powers of land authority.—The land authority shall have all the powers necessary or
convenient to carry out and effectuate the purposes and provisions of this act, including the
following powers, which are in addition to all other powers granted by other provisions of this act:
(3) (c) To assist the county in which it is located in the administration of state and federal grants
awarded to the county for residential flood and sea-level rise mitigation projects, including grants for
the elevation of structures above minimum flood elevations; the demolition and reconstruction of
structures above minimum flood elevations; and the acquisition of land with structures at risk of
flooding.
Packet Pg. 1461
G.3
Further, the termination of the agreement is being amended to be consistent with Section 380.0674
(2) Florida Statutes, which indicates a "land authority created by a county in which one or more
areas have been designated as an area of critical state concern for at least 20 consecutive years prior
to removal of the designation shall continue to exist and exercise all powers granted by this chapter
until terminated by law or action of the governing board pursuant to subsection (1)" and therefore,
termination of this agreement is being changed from termination of the Florida Keys Area of Critical
State Concern designation to be consistent with this section and tied to a future action by the
Governing Board.
Finally, the MCLA will assist in coordination of use and management of properties foreclosed upon
through code compliance proceedings.
Other edits have been made to align the agreement with current practices.
