Dear Ms. Hover:
Enclosed please find the original and three copies of a Cooperative Equipment Lease between the
Florida Division of Forestry and the Monroe County Board of Commissioners and a copy of the existing Lease
signed in 1987.
Many of our Cooperators who have older Leases have updated them and you are more than welcome
to do so. If you would like to update your Lease just return a signed original to me and I will have the Director,
Earl Peterson, and two witnesses execute it. The Cooperator (County of Monroe) is the first party to initiate
the Lease. We keep the original with your Lease paperwork and will return a fully executed copy of the Lease
to you. If you would like an original returned to you, please send me two original copies.
Judy Turner will probably be working with you on this and I believe Buzz Gifford explained a little
about the procedure to you last Friday. If you have anv questions at all please call me and I will be more than
happy to help you. My telephone number is 850/488-6111.
Sincerely,
BOB CRAWFORD
COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE
