AGREEMENT BETWEEN
FLORIDA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY
AND
THE COUNTY OF MONROE
This Agreement is between Florida Power & Light Company (hereinafter
"Company"), and the County of Monroe (hereinafter "County").
I. PURPOSE
A. Certain responsibilities have been defined by the U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (hereinafter "NRC") in certain provisions of
1 0 CFR Parts 50 and 70 and in the NRC guidance document
NUREG 0654, FEMA-REP-1, Revision 1, "Criteria for Preparation
and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and
Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants." There exists a
possibility of duplication of effort in meeting those responsibilities by
the Company and County. The resulting increased financial burden
on taxpayers and consumers can be avoided by the development
of a cooperative relationship between state and local public
agencies and the nuclear power utility. The County is authorized,
in Sections 252.35 and 252.60 of Florida Statutes, to participate in
such cooperative relationships and is further authorized, in Section
252.37 of Florida Statutes, to accept services, equipment, supplies,
materials, or funds for emergency management. The purpose of
this Agreement is to define certain aspects of the relationship
between the County and the Company.
B. The NRC regulations and guidance cited above are incorporated as
requirements in this Agreement by reference. All activities that are
the subject of the Agreement shall comply with those requirements
(hereinafter "Federal Emergency Preparedness Requirements").

The parties have agreed to the Work Scope and Funding attached hereto
and incorporated herein as Exhibit A. Said budget provides that the

Any equipment purchased by the County under this Agreement shall be
the property of the County. This equipment is to be used for the activities
described herein for the term of this Agreement and subsequent
agreements between the parties. Upon termination of the agreements
and cessation of the County's activities, the equipment will remain the
property of the County.
V. INTEREST
The unexpended portion of advance payments to the County may be
invested in an interest bearing account in accordance with applicable
county regulations, if any. At the end of the agreement period, the County
shall retain all remaining interest earned.
VI. AUDIT
A. The County shall (at any time during normal business hours and
with five business days advance notification) make available for
examination, to the Company and any of its duly authorized
representatives, all of the records and data with respect to all
matters covered by this Agreement. The County shall permit the

the Company an update of the population in the Emergency
Planning Zone, by geographical boundaries, based on available
county records. This population update should be provided in the
first quarter of each year. The County shall advise the Company of
any change in land use that may warrant a change in the County's

preparedness or involve inclusion in the State of Florida
Radiological Emergency Management Plan. This advisement must
be within 90 days following discovery of a significant change in land
use.
D. The County shall maintain current radiological emergency plans
and implementing procedures for the County as required by
Federal Emergency Preparedness Requirements.

upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court
having jurisdiction thereof. Each party shall be responsible for its
attorneys' fees and costs incurred in the arbitration. The arbitrator's fees
shall be paid in equal parts by the parties unless the award shall specify a
different division of the fees. Venue for arbitration proceedings brought
