Pursuant to section 380.0685, Florida Statutes, the Authority receives a park surcharge on admission and overnight occupancy at state parks within the unincorporated area of Monroe County and pursuant to section 125.0108, Florida Statutes, and sections 23-178 and 23-179, Monroe County Code, the Authority receives a 50% share of the 1% tourist impact tax charged on lodging in the Keys. x In addition to these recurring revenues,the Authority has received land acquisition grants from the State of Florida and the US Army Corps of Engineers in past. 0 New, this fiscal year, MCLA has successfully worked with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection = (FDEP) to allow MLCA to pre-acquire lands within Florida Forever and then resell the parcels to the State of a Florida. This process began in FY22 and this chart now demonstrates the"revenue"MCLA is receiving as FDEP purchases the land from MCLA.

To date, MCLA has disbursed $2,000,000, based on a request by Key West. An additional $4,507,916 is encumbered for the project and Key West has also requested MCLA reserve $2,000,000 for cN potential future needs of the project. MCLA Governing Board has not approved the latest request. Peary Court—MCLA assisted in this project by providing $12 million to maintain affordable housing. Recently KWHA provided a report indicating that some of the units did not meet the MCLA affordability criteria. In other 40- words,the family income exceeds the maximum allowed income. MCLA staff,working with legal counsel,wrote 0 a memorandum to Key West staff explaining the issue. 2 21 Monroe County 0 12 Scattered Sites —Monroe County partnered with MCLA and MCLA purchased 12 scattered sites, primarily on Big Pine,with one site on Little Torch.

As of May 31, 13 of those VHBP applications were actively being processed, 8 sold their parcels to the County cN via VHBP, one purchase contract was pending, and the remaining 57 either voluntarily withdrew or were deemed a ineligible. Based on current program participation and data, staff has estimated the county will expend just over $7 million of the $15 million grant. Outreach for new participants began in October 2021, and staff estimates an I- additional ten to fifteen purchase contracts would be needed to exhaust the available grant funds. All grant activities need to be completed before the grant term ends on June 3, 2023. Since October 2021,we have received C 16 new participant registrations, 10 of which were eligible to continue. The first nine VHBP purchase contracts were approved by BOCC in January, February and March of 2022, of which four transactions closed in April 2022 and four closed in May 2022, expending a total of$4,636,398.89 for VHBP acquisitions to date. These eight transactions have retired eight development rights(market rate ROGO Exemptions).

One more contract closed in June 2022 and will be included in next month's report. c� X Florida Forever Program Contact: Mark Rosch 305-295-5180 0 The State of Florida has made substantial investments in the Florida Keys purchasing conservation land pursuant to the Florida Forever Program. This program is administered by the Florida Department of Environmental 0 Protection (DEP). The State has established three Florida Forever projects in the Keys: • North Key Largo Hammocks • Coupon Bight/Key Deer U • Florida Keys Ecosystem 0 0 As the end of ROGO approaches, the State's long-standing acquisition efforts are essential to reduce future 0 liability. DEP should aggressively pursue land acquisition in the Keys because over 3,500 privately-owned - vacant, undeveloped parcels lie within the Florida Forever project boundaries. The Land Authority is assisting in this effort by serving as a local partner with DEP, pursuant to a memorandum % of agreement between DEP and the County. In this role, the Land Authority helps locate suitable properties with willing sellers for DEP, obtains due diligence products for DEP, and in some cases pre-acquires conservation land 20 for resale to the State. Since July 1, 2016, with the passage of the Florida Keys Stewardship Bill, DEP has spent approximately $5,298,790, retiring 87.15 development rights as of June 29, 2022. 9 N N The goal is for DEP to spend $5 million annually on acquisition in the Florida Forever boundary. a� The table below demonstrates the annual expenditures by DEP, since passage of the Florida Keys Stewardship E Bill through June 29, 2022: Page 10 of 14 Packet Pg. 881 1.2.a STATE FISCAL STATE PURCHASES STATE PURCHASES OF TOTAL STATE YEAR FROM PRIVATE PRE-ACQUIRED LAND PURCHASES SELLERS FROM MCLA 2017 $0 CN 2018 $709,246 2019 $2,037,381 Ul) 2020 $1,177,841 2021 $695,492 2022 $89,732 $589,098 $678,830 c°� TOTAL $4,709,692 $589,098 $5,298,790 c' N Since the goal of DEP spending $5 million annually under the Stewardship Bill has not been achieved by the State making direct purchases from private sellers, Land Authority and DEP staff have been working to establish 40- a system where MCLA pre-acquires land in Florida Forever projects for resale to the State. As of June 29, 2022, 0 this system has successfully resulted in the State purchasing $589,098 of pre-acquired property from MCLA. 2 21 • MCLA/Radenhausen/Port Pine Heights 2nd Addition— Closed $ 46,123 • MCLA/Messera Selman/Cutthroat Harbor Estates— Closed $ 542,975 $ 589,098 c� The pre-acquisition system is expected to result in considerably more closings in the near future. As of June 29, ' 2022, MCLA has either purchased or has a contract to purchase the following properties that are"in the pipeline" for ultimate resale to the State: c� • Carbonell/No Name Key X • Koleda/Southern Pines, Kinercha, Sands • Epifano/Crains 0 • Ackert/Sugarloaf Key Acreage • Jattan/Sands • Silva/Crains CU • CarawanHacker/Crains • Morris/Little Torch Key Acreage 0 • Wagner/Largo City U a� • Vero Atlantic 2/Crains 0 • McCullough/Ocean Heights 0 • Alessandrini/Palma Sola • DaCosta/Windward Beach Estates 0 • Sea Air Holdings, LLCBig Pine Key Acreage • Knowles/Southern Pines • Adams/Big Pine Key Acreage 0 If MCLA is able to sell all of the above properties to the State, the pre-acquisition system will enable DEP to spend over $3 million.

When buildable lots are C acquired under the Density Reduction Program, they may be resold to homeowners of contiguous properties or to Property Owner Associations, without the ability of the purchaser to ask for a Rate of Growth Ordinance 'cc 0 (ROGO) allocation to build a residential unit with all density stripped from the land. 0 To date, 11 parcels have been resold on Duck Key. They were originally acquired for$927,000 with development rights. The County successfully resold them without development rights for$425,494, an average of$38.681 per C4 CN Transferrable Development Right(TDR). The County Commission adopted an ordinance establishing a"Resale Program" on January 21, 2022. Following the newly adopted ordinance, the BOCC adopted a resolution authorizing resale of 9 lots in Tropical Bay Estates 40- under this program. Staff issued direct bid notices to the contiguous property owners, as well as the Property 0 Owner Association. Of the 9 lots, staff received 1 bid for one lot, 1 bid for a 2"d lot, and no bids for the remaining 2 21 7 lots. Both bids were approved by the BOCC on May 18, 2022.
