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, 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. x 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 %0 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.

Packet Pg. 2367 J.4.a On October 19, 2022,the MCLA Governing Board accepted a donation from an on-going environmental clearing violation by KRZ based on an approved settlement agreement between KRZ and Monroe County, which would result in the donation of properties to the Monroe County Land Authority. N N Affordable Housing Contact: Christine Hurley 305-295-5180 Key West 0 Garden View Apartments — The City of Key West partnered with Key West Housing Authority (KWHA) and 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 cN 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 Manager Patti McLauchlin to disburse the funds. Key West also requested MCLA reserve $2,000,000 for potential future needs of the project. MCLA Governing Board has not approved the latest request for the additional $2,000,000. 1� 0 0. Peary Court—MCLA assisted in this project by providing $12 million to maintain affordable housing. Recently 2 KWHA provided a report indicating that some of the units did not meet the MCLA affordability criteria. In other 21 words,the family income exceeds the maximum allowed income. MCLA staff,working with legal counsel,wrote r- a memorandum to Key West staff explaining non-compliance issue and correspondingly wrote a letter to the 2 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. MCLA staff ' met with Peary Court owners and their attorney and they may be proposing a revision to the deed restriction that allows them to use three new code provisions the City of Key West adopted into their most recent Land Development Code. MCLA staff requested the property owners seek a resolution of support from the City of x Key West Commission related to this request, prior to it being brought to the MCLA Governing Board. w 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. These properties were submitted by Monroe County Housing Authority 0 (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 a resolution to forgive the total amount($1,353,989) of the land acquisition grant so those funds can be used for 0 construction. Monroe County Land Authority staff requested an affordable ROGO allocation be reserved for one 0 of the scattered sites on Little Torch, so the market rate unit associated with the property can be turned back into the County for administrative relief.

W 0 c� Packet Pg. 2370 J.4.a Community Development Block Grant/Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) Voluntary Home Buyout Program Contact: Cynthia Guerra 305-453-8756 N N The Voluntary Home Buyout Program (VHBP) goal is to purchase property damaged by Hurricane Irma using a $15 million grant from the State of Florida after Hurricane Irma, to eliminate future flood risk and assist vulnerable populations in low-moderate income areas. As of September 30, 2022, 80 VHBP applications have been received by staff and the County's consultants, Tetra 0 Tech. As of September 30, 2022, 12 of those VHBP applications were actively being processed, 9 sold their N parcels to the County via VHBP, and the remaining 59 either voluntarily withdrew or were deemed ineligible. CCND CN Based on current program participation and data, and assuming the 12 parcels in process are acquired by the County, staff has estimated the county will expend approximately $13 million of the $15 million grant on the parcels with the remaining moneys being used for grant implementation. Grant activities need to be completed by the grant agreement deadline of June 3, 2023, or an extension to the grant agreement may be sought if needed. 0 The first nine VHBP purchase contracts were approved by BOCC in early 2022. All of these transactions have -,:� closed, expending a total of$4,845,245.08 for VHBP acquisitions to date. The nine transactions have retired nine development rights (market rate ROGO Exemptions).

The BOCC approved a purchase contract in August 2022 for $460,000 which is pending closing. Three more purchase 0 contracts which total $1,166,500 were approved by BOCC in October 2022. Once closed, the four purchase contracts will bring the total for VHBP acquisitions to over $6.7 million and transfer 4 additional market rate ROGO Exemptions to the Administrative Relief Pool. a� ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. c� 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 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 • Florida Keys Ecosystem U As the end of ROGO approaches, the State's long-standing acquisition efforts are essential to reduce future 8 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 0 of agreement between DEP and the County. In this role, the Land Authority helps locate suitable properties with W willing sellers for DEP, obtains due diligence products for DEP, and pre-acquires conservation land for resale to the State. Since July 1, 2016,with the passage of the Florida Keys Stewardship Bill,DEP has spent approximately r $5,509,458 and retired 101.7 development rights as of October 31, 2022. 2 The goal is for DEP to spend $5 million annually on acquisition in the Florida Forever boundary. c� The table below demonstrates the annual expenditures by DEP, since passage of the Florida Keys Stewardship 2 Bill through October 31, 2022: Packet Pg. 2371 J.4.a STATE FISCAL STATE PURCHASES STATE PURCHASES OF TOTAL STATE YEAR FROM PRIVATE PRE-ACQUIRED LAND PURCHASES SELLERS FROM MCLA 2017 $0 $0 $0CN 2018 $709,246 $0 $709,246 2019 $2,037,381 $0 $2,037,381 M 2020 $1,177,841 $0 $1,177,841 2021 $695,492 $0 $695,492 2022 $89,732 $607,323 $697,055 2023 $0 $192,443 $192,443 TOTAL $4,709,692 $799,766 $5,509,458 Since the goal of DEP spending $5 million annually under the Stewardship Bill has not been achieved by the E State making direct purchases from private sellers, Land Authority and DEP staff have been working to establish a system where MCLA pre-acquires land in Florida Forever projects for resale to the State. As of October 31, 2022,this system has successfully resulted in the State purchasing$799,766 of pre-acquired property from MCLA since 7/l/16. a� • MCLA/Radenhausen/Port Pine Heights 2nd Addition— Closed $ 46,123 21 • MCLA/Messera Selman/Cutthroat Harbor Estates— Closed $ 561,200 • MCLA/Carbonell/No Name Key —Closed $ 103,555 • MCLA/Epifano/Crains—Closed $ 38,411 • MCLA/Jattan/Sands—Closed $ 50,477 2 $ 799,766 a� The pre-acquisition system is expected to result in considerably more State closings in the near future.

When buildable lots are cN 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 0 (ROGO) allocation to build a residential unit with all density stripped from the land. Z 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 � Transferrable Development Right(TDR). The County Commission adopted an ordinance establishing a"Resale Program" on January 21, 2022. Following a the newly adopted ordinance, the BOCC adopted a resolution authorizing resale of 9 lots in Tropical Bay Estates 0 under this program. Staff issued direct bid notices to the contiguous property owners, as well as the Property 'M 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 u 7 lots. Both bids were approved by the BOCC on May 18, 2022. Staff have closed both sales. a� The County Attorney assisted Mayor Rice with a discussion and direction item in August to determine whether a site received by Code Compliance could be sold through the Resale Program in Duck Key, at the request of the Duck Key Property Owners Association. The Board requested staff reach out to contiguous property owners to x obtain their interest in the property and to request their input about a potential dog park on the site. This has been Lm completed and an agenda item is on the BOCC agenda for October outlining the results.
