AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Conceptual approval to transfer ownership of four (4) County -owned
parcels located within the City of Marathon to the City of Marathon, pending clearance from the Florida
Community Trust.
ITEM BACKGROUND: The County owns four parcels of property located within the City of
Marathon, which were inadvertently omitted from the transfer agreement with the City at the time the
City incorporated. The City of Marathon is maintaining three of the four parcels as a passive park area.
Since the properties were purchased with grants from the Florida Community Trust (FCT), approval from
the FCT is required prior to transfer of ownership. Should the BOCC desire to transfer the properties,
staff will seek FCT approval and bring back deeds for BOCC approval, upon final clearance from the
FCT.
