A Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of ~dB.r<B
County, Supporting the Construction of a Juvenile Detention
Facility in Monroe County and Committing in Principle to the
Granting of a Long-term Lease to the State of Florida
Department of Juvenile Justice
Whereas, the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners recognize that
juvenile crime is a social problem that affects all aspects of society, and
Whereas, Monroe County lacks appropriate facilities for the temporary detention,
longer term commitment and treatment of juvenile offenders, and
Whereas, the State of Florida Department of Juvenile Justice has secured state
funding for the construction of a detention and commitment facility to be constructed
in Monroe County, and
Whereas, the youth of this county, their families and society at large will benefit
from the construction of such a facility in Monroe County, both now and for the
foreseeable future,
Now Therefore Be It Resolved by the Board of County
Commissioners of Monroe County, that:
The Monroe Board of County Commissioners supports the development by
the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice ("DJJ") of a juvenile detention and
commitment facility to be constructed as an addition to the Sheriff's Office Main
Detention Facility on Stock Island, The Commission is willing to enter into a fifty-
year lease with DJJ for a suitable parcel of land for the nominal rate of $1.00 per year,
however, the final draft of such lease must be reviewed by the County Administrator,
approved by the County Attorney and brought before this Commission for final
review and approval.
This resolution is passed based upon the understanding that the cost of
construction and operation of the facility shall be paid entirely by D JJ or from other
