Management
TIME APPROXIMATE: STAFF CONTACT: Cynthia Guerra(305) 289-2588

AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of a Resolution granting approval of a purchase
agreement of property pending final DEO approval, funded by the Community Development Block
Grant-Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) Voluntary Home Buyout Program (VHBO) in the amount of
$380,000.00, execution of a restrictive covenant running with the land, and moving one (1) Market
Rate - Rate of Growth Ordinance (ROGO) Exemption from the acquired property to the
Administrative Relief pool for market rate allocation(s).
ITEM BACKGROUND:
NOTE: Consistent with State Statute 119.071(5)(f)(1.)(b), staff has omitted/redacted the
homeowner's names, address and other identifying information as adopted during the 2020
legislative session. This statute provides an exemption from public records requirements for
personal identifying information for the purpose of disaster recovery assistance. Properties proposed
for acquisition by the Voluntary Home Buyout Program were affected by Hurricane Irma in 2017.
The Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) awarded Monroe County $15 million in CDBG-
DR funding, via Subrecipient Agreement I0092, to acquire Irma-damaged properties in low to
moderate income areas or from households with low to moderate income. The State established
Rebuild Florida Voluntary Home Buyout Program Guidelines (attached) and the County adopted
priority scoring in Resolution 56-2021 (attached) to assist with program implementation.
With the assistance of Tetra Tech, the consultant retained to assist in program administration, the
County is acquiring property that was damaged by Hurricane Irma. The acquisition is being made to
reduce the impact of future disasters by acquiring properties that are in high-risk flood areas. The
Subrecipient Agreement requires the County to restrict VHBP acquired properties to uses stated in
the County's grant application. The application included Resolution 224-2019 which stated the
county's intention was to deed-restrict the properties in perpetuity to open space uses, storm water
improvements or to restore and conserve the natural floodplain functions. The property owner has
agreed to sell the property for the price of$380,000.00. The purchase price is based on an appraisal
completed pursuant to the program's requirements. The property owner has also agreed to surrender
Packet Pg. 1550
F.1
all development rights or ROGOs vested in the property. DEO has reviewed and provided approval
of the acquisition per the terms of the Subrecipient(grant) Agreement. The redacted Purchase
Agreement and Restrictive Covenant are attached.
Monroe County has identified 1 ROGO exemption on the property. Upon adoption of this
resolution, the Planning and Environmental Resources Department shall move one (1) Market Rate
ROGO Exemption into the ROGO Administrative Relief pool for market rate allocations.
The seller is being evaluated to determine if they are eligible for an additional financial incentive
award provided under the CDBG-DR program for assistance in securing replacement housing in the
County. The assistance is to help retain an area's population as well as to assist property owners to
relocate to lower risk flood prone areas. If the seller is ultimately eligible for the incentive award,
that award will be brought back for BOCC approval prior to disbursement.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION:
On July 22, 2019, the BOCC approved the CDBG-DR VHBP grant application to DEO (Agenda
Item B.1).
On May 20, 2020, the BOCC approved Resolution 150-2020 allowing the county to execute the
CDBG-DR VHBP Subrecipient Agreement with DEO (Agenda Item D.2).
On February 17, 2021, the BOCC approved Resolution 56-2021 updating the local program
prioritization criteria for the Voluntary Home Buyout Program (Agenda Item D.5).
