Pursuant to section 380.0685, Florida Statutes, the Authority receives a park surcharge on admission and overnight occupancy at 0 state parks within the unincorporated area of Monroe County and pursuant to section 125.0108, Florida Statutes, 0 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. a� 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. w 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 Florida. This process began in FY22 and this chart now demonstrates the"revenue"MCLA is receiving as FDEP purchases the land from MCLA. The goal is for MCLA to sell $5 Million of land per year to FDEP, based on the Stewardship Bill. This is explained in more detail in the report. CU The following chart demonstrates the previous 10 years of park surcharge and tourist impact tax revenue for the MCLA with the addition of the FDEP resales.

U 0 0 0 2 Code Compliance Foreclosure Properties Reuse Contact: Christine Hurley 305-295-5180 1� 0 The Monroe County Code Compliance Department forecloses on long term code liens through a process designated by the County Commission. After foreclosure, the land may be suitable for multiple uses within County Departments or may also be useful for conservation purposes or density reduction.It could also be eligible for the resale program. Because the Land Authority manages several of these programs on behalf of the County, 0 recently the County Commission agreed through interlocal agreement to have the Land Authority coordinate the review and use of these sites. c� Packet Pg. 1527 H.2.a Affordable Housing Contact: Christine Hurley 305-295-5180 Key West N N T_ Garden View Apartments — The City of Key West partnered with Key West Housing Authority (KWHA) and Q1 they are building 103 units, utilizing Community Development Block Grant — Disaster (CDBG-DR) Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC) funding, as well as funding from MCLA for affordable housing 0 development. To date, MCLA has disbursed $2,000,000, based on a request by Key West. An additional $4,507,916 was given to the Key West Housing Authority (KWHA), after receiving authorization from Key West cN Manager Patti McLauchlin to disburse the funds. Key West also requested MCLA reserve $2,000,000 for N potential future needs of the project. MCLA Governing Board has not approved the latest request for the additional $2,000,000. E 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 0 words,the family income exceeds the maximum allowed income. MCLA staff,working with legal counsel,wrote t a memorandum to Key West staff explaining non-compliance issue and correspondingly wrote a letter to the owner notifying him of the 4 non-compliant units and explaining that the leases of those 4 units should not be renewed unless the families occupying the units meet the income requirements found in the Statues. 0 Monroe County 0 12 Scattered Sites —Monroe County partnered with MCLA and MCLA purchased 12 scattered sites, primarily a on Big Pine,with one site on Little Torch. These properties were submitted by Monroe County Housing Authority (MCHA) for reimbursement of land acquisition funding through FHFC. MCHA also applied for construction funding. The cost of construction has increased since the grant applications and therefore, the MCLA approved a resolution to forgive the total amount($1,353,989) of the land acquisition grant so those funds can be used for X construction. Monroe County Land Authority staff requested an affordable ROGO allocation be reserved for one of the scattered sites on Little Torch, so the market rate unit associated with the property can be turned back into 0 the County for administrative relief. That should be on the September BOCC agenda. 0 U 0 0 0 0 0 c� Packet Pg. 1528 H.2.a Howards Haven Trailer Park Redevelopment— 10 Units - Monroe County partnered with MCLA and MCLA provided the funding for Monroe County to purchase the Howards Haven Trailer Park land on Big Pine Key.

As of July 31, 12 of those VHBP applications were actively being processed, 9 sold their parcels to the County CN via VHBP, and the remaining 59 either voluntarily withdrew or were deemed ineligible. Based on current 'CON program participation and data, staff has estimated the county will expend approximately $11 million of the $15 million grant. Outreach for new participants began in October 2021, and staff estimates five to ten additional E purchase contracts would be needed to exhaust the available grant funds. All grant activities need to be completed C before the grant term ends on June 3, 2023. Since October 2021, we have received 17 new participant registrations, 10 remain as eligible. 0 0 The first nine VHBP purchase contracts were approved by BOCC in January, February and March of 2022. All of these transactions have closed, expending a total of$4,845,245.08 for VHBP acquisitions to date. These nine transactions have retired nine development rights(market rate ROGO Exemptions). All of the market rate ROGO Exemptions available from the VHBP transactions are being moved to the Administrative Relief pool for market 0 rate allocations. The BOCC approved another purchase contract in August 2022 which will expend an additional $460,000. as Florida Forever Program Contact: Mark Rosch 305-295-5180 x The State of Florida has made substantial investments in the Florida Keys purchasing conservation land pursuant W to the Florida Forever Program. This program is administered by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). The State has established three Florida Forever projects in the Keys: d • North Key Largo Hammocks • Coupon Bight/Key Deer • Florida Keys Ecosystem As the end of ROGO approaches, the State's long-standing acquisition efforts are essential to reduce future US liability. DEP should aggressively pursue land acquisition in the Keys because over 3,500 privately-owned 8 vacant, undeveloped parcels lie within the Florida Forever project boundaries. 0 The Land Authority is assisting in this effort by serving as a local partner with DEP, pursuant to a memorandum -C� of agreement between DEP and the County. In this role, the Land Authority helps locate suitable properties with 0 willing sellers for DEP, obtains due diligence products for DEP, and pre-acquires conservation land for resale to W the State. Since July 1, 2016,with the passage of the Florida Keys Stewardship Bill,DEP has spent approximately $5,420,569 and retired 99.71 development rights as of August 31, 2022. 0 The goal is for DEP to spend $5 million annually on acquisition in the Florida Forever boundary.

N N Density Reduction Resale Program Contact: Christine Hurley 305-295-5180 00 00 The Monroe County Land Authority manages the County's density reduction efforts. When buildable lots are 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 (ROGO) allocation to build a residential unit with all density stripped from the land.
