WHEREAS, under F.S. 125.01(1)(f), the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) for
Monroe County is granted the authority, among others, to provide parks, playgrounds and
recreation areas; and
WHEREAS, the BOCC finds that public parks and recreation areas provide sites where
the families and citizens of Monroe County can benefit from and engage in healthy recreational
activities; and
WHEREAS, BOCC finds that the creation of parks and recreation areas are in the best
interests of the citizens of Monroe County; and
WHEREAS, under F.S. 125.74(1)(g), the County Administrator has the authority to
supervise the care and custody of all County property; and
WHEREAS, the BOCC finds that use of the Harry Harris Park in Tavernier, Florida
("Park"), by Monroe County residents and non-residents has continually increased during recent
years; and
WHEREAS, a significant portion of the maintenance and upkeep of Harry Harris Park is
funded through property taxes; and
WHEREAS, Monroe County residents,through property taxes, have already contributed
to the funding of the Park maintenance and upkeep so it would be manifestly unfair to charge
residents an additional admission fee; and
WHEREAS, the BOCC finds that the increased admission fee will benefit both residents
and non-residents by providing increased funding for future enhancements to the Park;
