whose principal address is 320 Laguna Avenue, Key Largo, Florida 33037, (hereinafter "UKCP").
WHEREAS, on December 14, 2000, the County and UKCP entered into a twenty (20)
year Community Swimming Pool Lease Agreement (hereinafter "Original Lease"), for the
premises described as Section 33, Township 61 South, Range 39 East, Key Largo, Monroe County,
Florida, located on the edge of the Key Largo Community Park (hereinafter "Property"); and
WHEREAS, UKCP operates the pool facility at 320 Laguna Avenue, Key Largo, Florida

related facilities pursuant to the Original Lease; and
WHEREAS, said Original Lease set forth numerous requirements which included
maintenance, repairs, daily hours open to the general public, presence of trained lifeguards, and a
percentage of revenue to be set aside for pool operations, upkeep, maintenance and repairs; and
WHEREAS, said Original Lease provided that the County may, but is not obligated to,
appropriate revenue from any lawfully available source for construction, repair, maintenance and
operations; and
WHEREAS, the County has provided funding for capital costs and utilities via separate
contracts dated March 22, 2001, July 17, 2002, February 19, 2003, December 17, 2003, and March

on a reimbursement basis upon submission of a proper invoice by UKCP, and the County has
continued to provide such annual funding; and
WHEREAS, in an Amendment to Agreement dated April 20, 2005, Paragraph 1 of the
Original Lease was amended by deleting, as of the County fiscal year ending September 30, 2005,
the last sentence requiring a $10 annual rental payment, and the County has thus not required an
annual rental payment since that date; and
WHEREAS, UKCP has submitted an application to the Tourist Development Council for

WHEREAS, the parties desire in the interim to extend the term of the Original Lease, as
amended, for an additional two (2) year term commencing retroactive to December 14, 2020, and
terminating on December 13, 2022, or earlier if a new Lease is executed for the Property, or the
Lease is terminated pursuant to other provisions of the Original Lease; and
WHEREAS, Section 125.38, Florida Statutes, authorizes not for profit organizations
organized for the purposes of promoting community interest and welfare who desire the use of real
property owned by the Court or its board of county commissioners that is not needed for other
County purposes, to apply to the board of county commissioners to lease such property; and
WHEREAS, if the Board is satisfied the desired property is required for such use and is
not needed for other purposes, the County may by a duly adopted resolution of the Board, lease
the property to the not for profit organization at a fixed price, whether nominal or otherwise,
regardless of the property, with no advertisement required; and
WHEREAS, UKCP seeks to continue its current use of the property and extend the term
until December 13, 2022, or until a new Lease is entered into between the parties.
NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants and agreements
herein contained, and other valuable considerations, the parties agree as follows:
1. Paragraph 2 of the Original Lease is amended to reflect that the term of the initial
twenty (20) year lease has been extended for an additional two (2) years with the additional term
