SUBJECT: Certificate of Title Transfer
George,
I inadvertantly did not include these with the MOA's to be signed by the Commission
All three of these need also to be signed and would be returned to you signed when we
receive word that MARAD has officially transferred Title to the State.

Dear Mr. Garrett:
Enclosed are three copies of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with attachments
between the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and Monroe County.
This MOA replaces all previous MOA's dealing with donation, transport, cleaning, and
deployment of the Amphibious Landing Ship U.S.S. Spiegel Grove (LSD-32) as an
artificial reef in federal waters within the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary off
Key Largo, Monroe County, Florida. The document has been approved as to form and
legality by a Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission attorney. It is not different in
content from the prior MOU sent to you except that the County will be working with the
FWCC instead ofthe Department of Environmental Protection as a result ofthe merger.
Once the County is satisfied that it can ensure compliance with these terms and
conditions, please have the Chairman of your County Commission sign and date each of
the three MOA copies along with their attachments. Please federal express the
documents to: Jon Dodrill, FWCC, Office of Fisheries Management at room 413D 3900
Commonwealth Blvd., Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000. I expect to remain at this
location (Mail Station 240) for at least the next six weeks. Upon receipt of the documents
signed by the County, they will be delivered to Russell Nelson, Director, Division of
Marine Fisheries for signature. A signed copy ofthe MOA will then be returned to your
files. At this point Dr. Nelson or other Commission designee will sign the Certificate of
Transfer from the United States of America to the State of Florida and that document will
be returned to Fran Olsen, Chief Division of Vessel Transfer and Disposal, U.S. Maritime
Administration for their signature. Please call me at 850/922-4340 when you have
received the documents and if you have any questions.

RE:
Spiegel Grove.
I have determined that the conditions set by the County Commission for the
Memorandum of Agreement have been satisfied. I have double-checked with Risk
Management to establish that the insurance is sufficient. The contract for planning and
preparation of vessel, monitoring plan, PCB and plastic removal plan, and proof of
funding have been provided. Accordingly, it is now appropriate for the Memorandum
of Agreement to be executed. Enclosed please find an MOA and a certificate of title
transfer, both of which need to be executed. I have only been provided with the
copies which are enclosed. I have asked George Garrett to get additional originals.
