Pursuant to section 380.0685, Florida Statutes, the Authority receives a park surcharge on admission and overnight occupancy at state parks within the unincorporated area of Monroe County and pursuant to section 125.0108, Florida Statutes, ' and sections 23-178 and 23-179, Monroe County Code, the Authority receives a 50% share of the 1% tourist impact tax charged on lodging in the Keys. c� In addition to these recurring revenues,the Authority has received land acquisition grants from the State of Florida X and the US Army Corps of Engineers in past. Beginning in FY22, MCLA has successfully worked with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) to allow MCLA to pre-acquire lands within Florida Forever and then resell the parcels to the State of <= Florida. The chart demonstrates the "revenue" MCLA is receiving as FDEP purchases the land from MCLA. 0 The goal is for MCLA to sell $5 Million of land per year to FDEP, based on the Stewardship Bill. This is explained in more detail in the report. 0 The following chart demonstrates the previous 10 years of park surcharge and tourist impact tax revenue for the U MCLA with the addition of the FDEP resales. 0 0 0 c� Packet Pg. 1378 G.4.a Monroe County Land Authority Revenue-16 Years o,f Hiskurie Data Year Keq Wnt TIMP Florida KesTIMP Sales to CEP 2013 $1,00%790 $1.430.255 $0 2014 $2,16A.i785 $1,650,640 $0 2015 $2.386;`744 $1.900.434 $0 2016 $2,562j952 $2.016.206 $0 2017 $2,492,974 12,081,999 $0 2018 $2.413,481 $1.681.963 $0 2019 $2,69O,797 $2.290,491 $0 2020 $1,9311069 $2,078,894 $0 2021 $2,27M38 $3.787.030 $0 2022 $4,142,366 $4.493,321 $677.509 2023Hill $1,238 I559 V340,94100 1714 FISCAL'YEAR-YTD2023 .. }qlM fI. ,H-M 1,,, Vl lq � $4„49,,321 $3,n'9,731 N v,wge $ 690D797 19{6A434 �,56 9 $ 48 974 � ,l.vd,491,..,. a'18,594��� d� $1 148 7&6 e,_ 4�� w �'' Y P, 5, ,, -,..., ,,, O $. ,...„„, �51sap.maa.6id $193 69 0 i oauro v ?47,436.13 � "S6 SI'Ll S,3a3.s9 45 47D $495.157 $5J6.,475..

Code Compliance Foreclosure Properties Reuse Contact: Christine Hurley 305-295-5180 0 The Monroe County Code Compliance Department forecloses on long term code liens through a process designated by the County Commission. After foreclosure, the land may be suitable for multiple uses within CCND County Departments or may also be useful for conservation purposes or density reduction.It could also be eligible for the resale program. Because the Land Authority manages several of these programs on behalf of the County, recently the County Commission agreed through interlocal agreement to have the Land Authority coordinate the review and use of these sites. 1� 0 21 Affordable Housing Contact: Christine Hurley 305-295-5180 0 Key West Garden View Apartments — The City of Key West partnered with Key West Housing Authority (KWHA) to build 103 one bedroom units, utilizing Community Development Block Grant— Disaster (CDBG-DR) funding ($8,000,000 for construction and $3,600,000 for land acquisition) through Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC), as well as $6,507,916 in funding from MCLA for affordable housing development. Key West also requested MCLA reserve $2 000 000 for potential future needs of the project. MCLA Governing Board has not x q P P J g w approved the latest request for the additional $2,000,000, as the Key West Housing Authority has to finish construction to determine whether those funds are needed. 0 Peary Court — MCLA assisted in this project by providing $12.5 million to maintain affordable housing. Recently KWHA provided a report indicating that some of the units did not meet the MCLA affordability criteria. E. cu In other words, the family income exceeds the maximum allowed income. MCLA staff, working with legal counsel, wrote a memorandum to Key West staff explaining non-compliance issue and correspondingly wrote a letter to the owner notifying him of the 4 non-compliant units and explaining that the leases of those 4 units should 0 not be renewed unless the families occupying the units meet the income requirements found in the Statues. 00 MCLA staff met with Peary Court owners and their attorney, and they have proposed a revision to the deed restriction that would allow them to use three new code provisions the City of Key West adopted into their most recent Land Development Code, since the original deed restrictions were put in place in 2016. MCLA staff requested the property owners seek a resolution of support from the City of Key West Commission related to this request, prior to it being brought to the MCLA Governing Board. Key West staff have indicated they expect this to be reviewed by the Key West Commission in February 2023. The three changes would allow Peary Court units to be: 0 2 In summary, generally, these changes allow: • Income to be qualified by counting individual income (in the case of roommates), with a caveat that the grand total of all income must still be below the Land Authority maximum income of 160% of area median. • Units to be rented to Monroe County residents(either already as residents or those moving into the County for work) as evidenced by driver's license, voter registration, and an employer verification as opposed to proving 70% of income is earned through employment within Monroe County Packet Pg. 1383 G.4.a • Units to be rented to income qualified workers within Monroe but allow them to remain tenants if they retire or become disabled. Monroe County 12 Scattered Sites —Monroe County partnered with MCLA and MCLA purchased 12 scattered sites, primarily on Big Pine,with one site on Little Torch. These properties were submitted by Monroe County Housing Authority (MCHA) for reimbursement of land acquisition funding through FHFC. MCHA also applied for $4,696,591 in construction funding. The cost of construction has increased since the grant applications and therefore,the MCLA approved a resolution to forgive the total amount($1,353,989) of the land acquisition grant so those funds can be used for construction. Monroe County Land Authority staff requested an affordable ROGO allocation be reserved for one of the scattered sites on Little Torch, so the market rate unit associated with the property can be turned CN back into the County for administrative relief. That was approved on the September 2022 BOCC agenda. The project was approved for funding by the FHFC Board in August 2022. The MCHA purchased the sites from the MCLA March 31, 2023. 0 Howards Haven Trailer Park Redevelopment— 10 Units - Monroe County partnered with MCLA and MCLA 0 provided the funding for Monroe County to purchase the Howards Haven Trailer Park land on Big Pine Key. 2 This property was submitted by MCHA for reimbursement of land acquisition funding through FHFC. MCHA also applied for construction funding (a total of$7,099,048 for both Howards Haven and Conch Key [outlined r- below]). The cost of construction has increased since the grant applications and therefore, the BOCC approved a resolution to forgive the total amount ($856,154) of the Howards Haven Trailer Park land acquisition grant so those funds can be used for construction. MCLA staff are continuing to coordinate with MCHA for site work ' permitting. The project was approved for funding by the FHFC at the October 28th Board meeting in Tallahassee. MCHA has 120 days from that date to close on the grant funds.Due to delays out of MCHA's control, specifically the modular manufacturer's engineered drawings, MCHA will be requesting a 90-120 extension with an anticipated closing in April/May timeframe.

As of February 28, 2023, 86 VHBP applications have been received by staff and the County's consultants, Tetra 0 Tech. As of January 31, 2023, 11 of those VHBP applications were actively being processed, 14 sold their parcels to the County via VHBP, and the remaining 61 either voluntarily withdrew or were deemed ineligible. Based on cN current program participation and data, and assuming remaining parcels in process are acquired by the County, N staff has estimated the county will expend approximately $13 million of the $15 million grant on the parcels with the remaining moneys being used for grant administration. Grant activities need to be completed by the grant agreement deadline of June 3, 2023. An extension to the grant agreement was requested, provided by DEO and 0 will be on the April BOCC agenda which will extend the grant term to June 3, 2024. This additional time is 0 needed to expend the grant funds more fully. 2 21 As of February 28, 2023, 19 VHBP purchase contracts were approved by BOCC. Fourteen of these transactions have closed, expending a total of $7,963,113.68 for VHBP acquisitions. The 14 transactions have retired 14 0 development rights (market rate ROGO Exemptions). All of the market rate ROGO Exemptions available from 0 the VHBP transactions are being moved to the Administrative Relief Pool for market rate allocations. The BOCC approved purchase contracts that have not yet closed are valued at over$1.7 million. Once closed,these contracts a will bring the total for VHBP acquisitions to over $9.7 million and transfer 5 additional market rate ROGO Exemptions to the Administrative Relief Pool. a� X DEO continued its monitoring of the program that started in January.

This program is administered by the Florida Department of Environmental = Protection (DEP). The State has established three Florida Forever projects in the Keys: U 0 • North Key Largo Hammocks • Coupon Bight/Key Deer • Florida Keys Ecosystem As the end of ROGO approaches, the State's long-standing acquisition efforts are essential to reduce future liability. DEP should aggressively pursue land acquisition in the Keys because over 3,500 privately-owned vacant, undeveloped parcels lie within the Florida Forever project boundaries. 0 The Land Authority is assisting in this effort by serving as a local partner with DEP, pursuant to a memorandum of agreement between DEP and the County. In this role, the Land Authority helps locate suitable properties with willing sellers for DEP, obtains due diligence products for DEP, and pre-acquires conservation land for resale to the State. Since July 1, 2016,with the passage of the Florida Keys Stewardship Bill,DEP has spent approximately $7,528,567 and retired 124.7 development rights as of March 31, 2023. The goal is for DEP to spend $5 million annually on acquisition in the Florida Forever boundary.
