GOVERNING BOARD
March 15,2006 Meeting Minutes
The Governing Board of the Monroe County Comprehensive Plan Land Authority held a regular
meeting on Wednesday, March 15, 2006 at the Marathon Government Center located at 2798
Overseas Highway, Marathon, Florida. Chairman David Rice called the meeting to order at
10:13 AM. Present and answering roll call, in addition to Chairman Rice, were Mayor Sonny
McCoy, Commissioner Murray Nelson, Commissioner George Neugent, and Commissioner
Dixie Spehar. Also in attendance were Executive Director Mark Rosch, Office Manager
Kimberly Nystrom, Counsel Larry Erskine, and members of the press and public.
The first item on the agenda was approval of minutes for the February 15, 2006 meeting. A
motion was made by Commissioner Spehar and seconded by Mayor McCoy to approve the
minutes as submitted. There being no objections, the motion carried (5/0).
Mr. Rosch then addressed the Board regarding the proposed bonding of the Land Authority's
tourist impact tax revenue and provided a written summary on the subject. Following Board
discussion, a motion was made by Commissioner Neugent and seconded by Commissioner
Nelson to continue the pay as you go approach to funding land acquisition instead of bonding
the tourist impact tax revenue. There being no objections, the motion carried (5/0).
Mr. Rosch then reported on the status of funding proposals submitted to the Florida Housing
Finance Corporation by local community land trusts. The proposal submitted by the Middle
Keys Community Land Trust involving the Islamorada Motel was selected for funding, whereas
the proposal submitted by the Florida Keys Community Housing and Land Trust involving the
Big Cop pitt Key site was not.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 10:29 AM.
