Re: Lease
Dear Ms. Mearns:
During the discussion at the last County Commission meeting, I made a comment about non-
compliance based on information I had received regarding the use of a County generator at Pigeon
Key. Paragraph 2 of the October 19,1993 Lease Agreement provides that the Lessee accepted the
premises in "As Is" condition and covenanted to, at its own expense, maintain the "facilities including
the buildings, vehicular ramp, sewage system, boat basin, picnic shelters, generator, fuel tank ...."
After that meeting, I was asked about the extent of non-compliance and whether the Foundation
had paid for the renovations. While I have sought information to reflect that the Foundation is fully in
compliance, as you indicated at the meeting, there is not much documentation within the County
offices to prove this. Rather there is indicia, such as the use of a County generator, indicating the
contrary, at least to some extent. I indicate below the documentation I have been able to locate, but
must ask for the Foundation to provide copies of additional records so that the County Commission
can be fully informed when making a decision on the proposed temporary ferry service. Due to the
imminent closure of the Old Seven-Mile Bridge and the consequent need for alternate transportation,
especially since the bridge closure was contemplated when the lease was entered (note the last
1/02/07 letter to PKF re
Lease
sentence on page 4 of the Lease), questions concerning the island's use by the public and the extent of
renovations and maintenance have arisen.
There is information on the County's web site regarding building permits during the term the
property has been leased to the Foundation. Those permits show a total of $1,025,950 in value of
repairs. The lease recited the cost of renovations was expected to exceed one million dollars, so that
estimate was apparently met. However, if you have documentation to show expenditures in excess of
that amount to renovate and rehabilitate the buildings on Pigeon Key, please provide me with copies of
that documentation. I also need documentation to show compliance with the Master Plan as required
by Paragraph 6.
It is very likely many of the requirements in the Lease would be reflected in the ten years of Annual
Reports required by paragraph 20 of the lease. However, I have located in the various County offices only
copies of the 1994 and 1998 annual reports. If you have a copy of each of the other annual progress reports,
please provide me with a set of copies. If written progress reports were not made, evidence of oral reports
should be substituted. Also, the financial information required in paragraph 20 needs to be provided for
the years 1995 through 1997, and 1999 through 2003, unless that information is contained in annual reports
of which copies are provided. Also, please provide for the years that annual progress reports are not
available, the uses of the premises for oceanographic and environmental research and for educational
purposes relating to but not limited to the protection of the history and environment of the Florida Keys.
Paragraph 4 requires that the island and buildings be open to the public an average of 26 days per
month, and over any 3-year period an average of 312 days per year. That paragraph requires a
proposed schedule of days for the island to be opened during the subsequent one to two calendar years
if in any calendar year the days open falls below 312. Due to the absence of the Annual Progress
reports, please provide documentation to show the number of days the facilities were open to the
public in 2004, 2005, and 2006. If you have copies of flyers, ads or other media to notify the public of
the dates the property was open or will be open and tours available, please provide copies of those as
well.
Under paragraph 14, the Foundation has the ability to charge an admission fee. Please provide
documentation to show the fees that are charged, and the County Commission's approval of the fees as
they have changed, assuming they have. .
Paragraph 28 sets forth residency requirements for the majority of the Foundation's Board of
Directors. Accordingly, please provide a list of the current directors and their place of residency.
The Lease also requires that the Foundation maintain windstorm insurance on the buildings. I
know that the County Clerk was provided a certificate showing issuance of a policy in August, 2006,
with the County as the loss payee, as required. However, it has been rumored that the Foundation
cancelled the policy. Therefore, I also need a letter from your insurance agent indicating that the
policy is still in force. Please understand that I am only requesting this as a means to squelch the
rumor .
Finally, since the Foundation is operating a publicly-owned facility pursuant to a lease with the
County, all of the Foundation's records regarding the operation of Pigeon Key are deemed public
records under Chapter 119, Florida Statutes. Pursuant to Section 119.07, I am requesting copies of
~ecords showing the following:
1/02/07 letter to PKF re
Lease
Revenue and expenditures for 2006
Booking information for 2007.
Your prompt provision of the foregoing materials will be greatly appreciated. At the very least, I
need as much of this documentation as possible within 14 days. To recap the request, please provide
the following:
1. Documentation to show expenditures in excess, if any, of the $1,025, 950 reflected on permits.
2. Documentation to show that the Master Plan attached to the Lease was complied with.
3. Annual progress reports for 1995-1997 and 1999-2003.
4. For the years that annual progress reports are not available, evidence of the uses of the
premises for oceanographic and environmental research and for educational purposes relating
to but not limited to the protection of the history and environment of the Florida Keys.
5. Documentation to show the number of days the facilities were open to the public in 2004,
2005, and 2006. If you have copies of flyers, ads or other media to notify the public of the
dates the property was open or will be open and tours available, please provide copies of those
as well.
6. Documentation to show the fees that are charged, and the County Commission's approval of
the fees as they have changed.
7. A list of the current directors on the Foundation's Board of Directors and their place of
residency.
8. Records showing:
Revenue and expenditures for 2006
Booking information for 2007.
9. A letter from insurance agent re the current windstorm coverage.

by
And between the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County,
hereinafter "Lessor" and the Pigeon Key Preservation Foundation,
Inc., a Florida Not-For-Profit Corporation chartered under the
laws of the State of Florida, hereinafter called "Lessee:
RECITALS
1. Lessor owns a parcel of property known as "Pigeon Key"
(hereinafter the "premises") located southwest of Marathon under
the Old Seven Mile Bridge.
2. The ownership and maintenance of the premises by the
Lessor has created a financial burden upon the taxpayers of
Monroe County, Florida due to the high cost of maintenance and
repair required by the premises.
3. The buildings located upon the premises have greatly
deteriorated and require extensive and costly renovation and
repair.
4. It is in the best interest of the citizens of Monroe
County, Florida that a tenant be obtained by Lessor for the
premises who will make the required renovations and repairs upon
the premises at tenant's expense.
5. On or about the 9th day of ~~Y 1992, Lessor published
in several newspapers a request for proposals from persons
desiring to lease the premises, a copy of which is attached
hereto as Exhibit "A".
6. At a public Monroe County Commission meeting held the
6th day of October, 1991, the Lessee was ranked first of the
groups responding to Lessor's request for proposals for the
purpose of negotiating a lease for the premises by the Monroe
County Commission.
7. Lessee is a Non-Profit Florida corporation formed to
protect and preserve the valuable heritage of Pigeon Key and for
the purpose of performing environmental research, historical and
educational work, historical restoration and renovation of Pigeon
Key's improvements,
activities.
8. Lessor finds that the program proposed by IJessee
and other
educational and
charitable
benefits all of Monroe County and its citizens.
9. Lessor finds that Lessee is a unique organization
bringing together many professionals from related fields for the
purpose of protecting, preserving and fully utilizing Pigeon Key
for public interest purposes. These professionals include but
are not
limited to
scientists, administrators,
teachers,
historians and business persons.
10. Pigeon Key has been designated by the U.S. Department
of Interior a National Historical District.
11. As a result of this designation, renovation and
restoration of the improvements upon the premises must meet the
standards for historical renovation
set forth in
federal
regulations. Cost of these improvements, estimated to exceed one
million dollars, shall be paid by the Lessee under Lessee's
proposal.
2
12. All costs of maintenance and upkeep of the premises,
which had been costing Lessor approximately $60,000 per year,
shall be paid by the Lessee under Lessee's proposal.
13. Lessor finds that the proposal presented by Lessee is
the highest and best bid for leasehold of the premises and that
the capital improvements, maintenance and uses for the premises
proposed by Lessee constitute the greatest benefit to the
citizens of Monroe County of the proposals presented.
14. Lessor is unable to provide adequate funding for the
improvements and maintenance of the premises without creating a
long term tax burden on the citizens of Monroe County.
15. Lessor finds that entering into a lease with Lessee
that requires Lessee to restore and maintain the improvements on
the premises at the expense of Lessee is in the best interest of
Monroe County, Florida.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and
covenants set forth herein and other good and valuable
considerations exchanged the parties agree as follows:
1 . TENANCY AND TERM.
Lessor does lease to Lessee for a period of thirty
years from date of execution of this Lease the island known as
Pigeon Key located adjacent to the Old Seven Mile Bridge

possession of the premises in "as is" condition.
Lessee shall maintain the grounds in a neat condition,
at all times, at Lessee's sole expense.
Lessee, at its sole expense, shall maintain the
facilities including the buildings, vehicular ramp, sewage
system, boat basin, picnic shelters, generator, fuel tank, and

owners or occupants of property within Monroe County, Florida, at
the Lessee's expense. The parties agree that neither the Lessor
nor the Lessee shall have any obligation to the other party to
maintain the bridge that currently connects the Island to
Knight's Key. The Lessee will maintain the ramp from the bridge
to the Island. If the bridge cannot be used for access to the
Island, the Lessee may provide public access through other means,

Lessee must engage in a program of managed public access to the

Lessee shall allow public access to the island for at least 8
hours a day for a minimum of 26 days per month, averaged yearly.
Use of the island for environmental education by students of the
5
Monroe County School System is encouraged but shall not by itself
count toward the public access requirements of the Lease. Public

conjunction with use by school children at different or
overlapping periods of the same day shall count toward public
access requirements. Lessee can manage access through the use of
organized tours of the property lead by employees or volunteers
of the Lessee or its assigns. Lessee will provide a published
listing of the operating days, hours! and tours so that the
general public and local business community can plan for
visitat.ion to the island. Lessee's obligation hereunder shall be

312 days in any calendar year for reasons other than the
exceptions identified above, Lessee shall provide the Lessor a

the next one to two calendar years. The schedule shall contain a
sufficient number of days that when added to the actual number of
days the island was open during the prior year and divided by 2
6
in the case of a one year schedule, or divided by 3 in the case
of a two year schedule, provides for an average of 312 days per
year that the island shall have been opened during that two or
three year period. Deviations from the schedule published to
correct such deficiencies shall require Lessor approval.
Compliance with the schedule shall be of the essence of
this Lease, and non-compliance shall be deemed a default
entitling the Lessor to terminate as provided in paragraph 21A.
Notwithstanding the above, the Lessor agrees that
Lessee shall have no obligation to open the island to public
access during the first 180 days immediately following the
execution of this Lease by the Lessor and Lessee. This period of
time is necessary to identify and work to eliminate hazardous or
harmful conditions on the property, install interpretive and
warning signs, begin to stabilize the existing structures,
provide for potable water and adequate sewage treatment for the
initial use of the island.
The Lessee agrees to waive any claim for damages
against the Lessor that it may sustain should this L.ease be
delayed or declared invalid by Court Order for any reason. The

PIGEON KEY FOUNDATION MASTER PLAN
FOR
FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT AND USAGE AT PIGEON KEY, FLORIDA
PURPOSE
This document defmes the basis for the lease between Monroe County and the Pigeon Key Foundation for
use of the facilities and property at Pigeon Key. Florida. It includes a draft of the Foundation's final leasing and
usage agreement as expressed through the master plan.

SECTION I.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
(
(
\
SECTION L EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The programs described in this document include historical. educational. and research uses of the Pigeon
Key facilities which will have a complete public access agenda. The Foundation agrees that the successful
impletaot1tation of all three of these programs is vitally important to the success of the overall effort. The
Foundation will encourage cooperation among-area businessmen. Key's residents. civic organizations. and the Pigeon
Key Foundation to develop programs which benefit all parties. We intend to be tightly linked to the Marathon
community .
An initial program of stabilization will make many of the buildings usable within six months of the lease
signing. Arrangements have been made with a group of construction workers to donate their work on this
stabilization effort. A major lumber yard has agreed to donate materials. The stabilization work will not violate
the guidelines that must be followed for structures on the national register of Historic sites.
The master plan describes the Foundation's plan to renovate all existing structures fully and to reconstruct
buildings which existed in the past if zoning permits. This effort will begin after the stabilization program is
completed. Funds for this work will be sought from governmental and non-governmental sources. The Foundation
will work closely with the Grants Management Office of Momoe County to obtain this funding.
Funding for other programs will be generated by user fees and by grants from interested agencies.
foundations. and corporations. User fees can provide an increasing fraction of the operations budget as buildings
become fully functional following restoration and reconstruction. We anticipate that this entire effort will be well
received by the Keys community.

SECTION II.
INTRODUCTION
SECTION IL INTRODUCTION
(
Pigeon Key is a treasured resource to the citizens and visitors of Monroe County. As such. it should be
preserved for their appreciation. made accessible to these citizens. and used in a manner consistent with the fragile
envirolUDent and historical heritage that it embodies.
The long and interesting history of Pigeon Key has been well described in a number of articles. For the
citizens of Monroe County. the island represents a rich link between the past and the present. Pigeon Key holds
messages from the days of the railroad. from the heyday of fishing camps. and from the traditions of Pigeon Key
as an educational facility. These messages have deep meaning to many members of the community. and it is
important that these messages be preserved.
Pigeon Key also represents an opportunity for educators on many levels. While the site is in poor repair
at present. it has the potential to be used as a site for environmental. cultural. and historical education. The thrust
of this master plan shall be to present an avenue to make it possible for Pigeon Key to retain its character and
beauty while having an expanded opportunity to link the citizens of Monroe County to their past. present. and future.
PROJECTED USES OF PIGEON KEY
The Pigeon Key Foundation is committed to using the Pigeon Key site in a number of ways to benefit the
Monroe County community. These usages will be consistent with the purposes outlined in the text above. and
include:
1. General Admittance
Pigeon Key will be available to the public in a variety of ways to enhance the recreational. historical and
natural experiences of the residents and visitors of Monroe County. The island will be open a minimum of 312 days
per year with special events and festivals to be held throughout the year. The public will be invited en mass on
festival days. In addition. community groups will be accommodated for meetings. invitational seminars. civic
events. governmental meetings. and other scheduled activities.
2. Research Station
The Pigeon Key site will be a research station for Mote Marine Laboratory (MML). It will be a base for
studies of the various tropical systems in and around the Florida Keys. Research space will be available in the
Bridge Foreman's House and additional needs will be accommodated in the existing laboratory/classroom building.
This would leave other buildings available for museum. office. housing. classroom. and other use. The resel
facilities will also be available for visiting scientists and graduate students. as well as college students.
3. Multi-Use Education Center
The Pigeon Key Foundation supports historic renovation and utilization of the facilities of Pigeon Key
a multi-disciplinary environmental and historical education center. By maintaining the small. isolated i~
atmosphere of Pigeon Key. our plans promote an unique atmosphere for comparing past and present Key's lifest
scientific research and environmental education. These opportunities will be provided for. but not limited to Me
County students and adults.
BENEFITS TO THE COMMUNITY
The development of Pigeon Key. by the Foundation's plan, will have direct and indirect benefits to many
citizens of Monroe County. First and foremost. it will be accessible and available to the community. Specific
3
c
access is planned for Monroe County students and teachers. It will also be available to the Florida Keys Community
College for educational and research purposes. and for other educational programs.
Additionally. an historically accurate site dating to the early 20th century will be developed. This aspect
alone will prove to be an invaluable educational resource to all who visit Pigeon Key.
The community will also directly benefit from special events that are envisioned for the site. This may
include festivals, interpretive tours. sightseeing opportunities. nature study activities. and family-centered events. as
well as opportunities for seminars, public interest lectures. and evening programs. It is anticipated that Pigeon Key
will become a "host" site for various community group meetings. Utilization of Pigeon Key as a site for
commercials and films will also be pursued.,providing the opportunity for additional income and exposure for
Marathon and the Keys.
We look forward to direct community involvement through the development of an active Pigeon Key
volunteer group. This group would form strong ties in Keys' communities as it draws local citizens into a network
functioning to support projects on Pigeon Key.
Finally. it is anticipated that Pigeon Key activities will benefit local merchants. Activities at the site will
draw many visitors to the Marathon area. These visitors will consume local goods and services. and. because of
their positive exposure to Pigeon Key. are likely to return. Restoration and construction activities at Pigeon Key
will require the purchase of materials from merchants in the Keys. Keys residents will do much of the construction
work and local persons will be hired to work for the Foundation. Pigeon Key users will also need to charter dive
boats, diving gear. laundry facilities. and catering services. These needs will vary from group to group but the total
expenditures from the Foundation and the users of Pigeon Key should be a significant addition to the local economy.
PRESERVATION AND RECONSTRUCTION
In an effort to bring the various structures on Pigeon Key into a usable condition in accordance with Federal
rehabilitation regulations. the Foundation will simultaneously start two activities:
1. Stahilization
Structures to be used immediately will be examined and evaluated with respect to structural integrity and
overall safety. The study commissioned by Monroe County (4/24/91) will be consulted as a starting point. Outside
evaluations and recommendations will be secured as necessary. Items requiring immediate correction will be
attended to prior to utilization of the structures.
2. Historic Renovation and Reconstruction
An overall evaluation of all structures on the island will be done to determine which can feasibly be
rehabilitated. Also. an historical research study will commence to investigate the possibility of building previously
existing structures that would fit appropriately into the ultimate Pigeon Key concept.
Upon completion of the initial structural stabilization and site evaluation, restoration and construction will
begin in earnest in accordance with guidelines from the short-term and long-term management plan. All construction
and rehabilitation will be conducted with input from a state licensed architect familiar with federal regulations.
MANAGEMENT
Day-to-day operation of the Pigeon Key site will be conducted by a staff hired by the Pigeon Key
Foundation. It is envisioned that there will eventually be a full-time administrator, one full-time construction and
4
(
maintenance person. and one full-time education coordinator. Salaries for these positions will be generated from
user fees. grants. and contracts. One of the initial concerns of the Foundation will be deriving job descriptions for
these positions.
, The full-time administrator will be directly responsible to the Board of Directors. and will oversee all
administrative work. The education coordinator will be primarily responsible for dealing with linkages among
participating Foundation parties. the administrator. educators and community members. Maintenance staff will be
responsible to the administrator, and will undertake maintenance and restoration projects in accordance with Board
guidelines.
INTENSITY OF PROJECTED USAGE AND PROJECTED IMPACT
The Board of Directors will examine factors such as transportation. parking sites. classroom space. day and
overnight accommodation space and other limiting factors (see Section VII and Appendix IV). Proper coordination
of sequential and parallel activities scheduled for the site will be a part of this study.
Because of the philosophical commitment of the Foundation to principles of environmental and historical
preservation. all usage of the site will be compatible with the natural and constructed environments found on Pigeon
Key. Intended usages will be developed with both environments in mind.

GENERAL ADMITTANCE
(
The Foundation views this activity as a chance to share the wealth of cultural, historical and natural
resources that are present at Pigeon Key with the public. Initially we plan to develop a historical and environmental
awareness display that will educate the public about the treasure that they have entrusted to the Pigeon Key
Foundation. We want wide-spread public participation in all of our activities. We will develop a museum with
displays of local cultural interest and we will need public support for this effort.
The public will be invited en mass on specific festival days. In addition, community groups will be
accommodated for meetings, invitational seminars, civic events, governmental meetings, and other scheduled
activities.
A schedule of guided tours will be developed in order to make Pigeon Key available to the general public.
At present we are developing plans to use volunteer guides. A sign-up list for the scheduled tours will be posted
at several locations in Marathon, e.g.. at the Chamber of Commerce, hotels, the Natural History Museum, and at
the Dolphin Research Center. A tour of Pigeon Key could be included in the visitor "passport" system that has been
established for several other visitor attractions. Announcements about the availability of the tours will be published
in local papers. At Pigeon Key information about the Pigeon Key Foundation will be made available, as well as,
membership forms and volunteer applications. A kiosk-type exhibit, detailing the history and future plans for Pigeon
Key, may be eri:cted. A fee will be charged for the guided tour and a donations box may be placed close to the
exhibit.
Visitors will have access to aquarium exhibits, and various displays of interest to history and nature buffs.
Construction of a museum will increase the attractiveness of Pigeon Key to the public. We expect to be able to
solicit photographs and artifacts from the period when Pigeon Key served as a railroad construction camp. The
University of Miami will also be asked to loan their Pigeon Key archives to us in order to develop a history of
environmental education and research throughout the Keys. A record of much of this activity is described in The
Monroe County Environmental Story published by the Monroe County Environmental Education Task Force (now
the Monroe County Environmental Education Advisory Committee). Our memberships' involvement with the
publication of this document will assist in the development of the museum displays.
General Admittances Policy
The Pigeon Key Foundation is extremely conscious of the fact that it is desirable to have tourism on Pigeon
Key. Tourists are a source of income for the whole community, historic renovation funding is predicated on the
fact that the public must have access to enjoy what has been restored.
· Tourists will have an opportunity to see history in the making as they see researchers doing
important and timely experiments that will aid us all to live better with our environment.
· Tourists will see a historically correct Flagler Railroad Era setting as they tour Pigeon Key.
There are two options for development of the Tourist Access Plan. Both options center on using facilities
at Knight's Key. These facilities include ample parking, restrooms, boat docks, camping and lodging sites, and a
pre-existing commercial structure suitable for a gift shop and reception center.
Option One:
The Pigeon Key Foundation will agree to allow an independent operator to run tours out
16
(
to the island, The operator would be responsible for all aspect~ of this vcnlure, and, with some
constraints, would be able to perform as an independent for.profit businessman. This operator
would provide transportation to Pigeon Key, insurance as necessary, staff for the reception center,
and guided tours. A minimal access fcc would be chuacd by the Foundation for each touritt
visiting thc island; this would be included in funds collected at the visitor center.
.,
Option Two:
The Pigeon Key Foundation leases the Knight's Key (or other) property from the owner
and sets up it's own tourist accomm.odation progt'lUD. In this CAse, the Foundation will be
responsible for running all aspects of the business, providing transportation, managing a gift shop,
and collecting fees. Pigeon Key staft' or volunteers would provide interpretation for the group
tours.
.,
...
Combinations of these two options may evolve. For example, a private businessman may choose to o~
a concession on the mainland and provide transportation, After the tourist group is on Pigeon Key, staft mem.rs
or volunteers may take care of historical and envh'omnental interptetation for these visilOrs.
At present, the Foundation has An open mind to the eventual shape of lourism plans. Weare in conllet
with Mr. Eugene Kyle, attorney for the owners of the facilities on Knight's Key. We believe that with cptl
understanding and a willingness to cooperate between area businessmen and the Foundation, tourism need$ fO.':
Marathon community will be well served.

RESEARCH PLAN
(
Mote Marine Laboratory will develop a research station at Pigeon Key that can be used both by Mote
scientists and by other research organizations. The Mote Research Station at Pigeon Key will occupy the building
formerly known as the Bridge Foreman's House. This building is close to the water and to the dock. Its location
is also ideal for a laboratory facility with a saltwater flow-through aquarium system.
Funding for stabilization of this structure and appropriate furnishings will be raised through a combination
of private donations and funds generated through user fees. Each project, Mote or otherwise, based at the field
station. will be charged for the use of this facility. These funds will initially be used to renovate and then to
maintain the research facilities.
His/my and Present Status of Mote Marine I.aborato~
Mote Marine Laboratory is an independent, nonprofit research organization dedicated to excellence in
marine and environmental sciences. Since its inception in 1955, the laboratory's primary missions have been the
pursuit of excellence in scientific research and the dissemination of information to the scientific community as well
as to the general public. Although internationally recognized through the scientific staffs research and publications,
much of the laboratory's efforts are directed toward Florida's coastal region. Through this research, the laboratory
provides a center for the exchange of scientific information, hosting visiting investigators, student interns, seminars
and conferences. Public outreach is accomplished through the Mote Marine Aquarium, an educational museum
providing marine education programs for all levels, from school children through adult. MML has a staff of 88 full-
time employees with an annual budget of $5.3 million.
The laboratory is located on City Island in Sarasota, Florida, on more than ten acres, fronting on both
Sarasota Bay and New Pass, with access to the Gulf of Mexico. The main building of 23,500 square feet houses
a library, research laboratories, administrative offices, and a conference center. Prefabricated buildings provide an
additional 7,600 sq ft of office and laboratory space. Experimental facilities include environmentally-controlled
rooms with recirculating seawater systems for maintaining marine organisms ranging from phytoplankton and
invertebrates to teleost and elasmobranch fishes. Specialized analytical instrumentation includes gas and liquid
chromatography, mass spectrometry, atomic absorption spectrophotometry ,nutrientautoanalyzer, spectrophotometers, ,
compound and dissecting microscopes with computerized image analysis, video camera and video editing
capabilities, and a host of field instruments for water quality analysis. A variety of research vessels are maintained
at the laboratory, ranging in size from 12 to 38 feet. Visiting investigators are encouraged to work with Mote
Marine Laboratory scientists to take advantage of these unique facilities and research opportunities, including the
Center for Shark Research, an international research and education center for multidisciplinary studies and public
understanding of sharks and their relatives, the skates and rays.
Facilities also include the public Mote Marine Aquarium which features aquaria, housing many species of
flora and fauna that inhabit the Southwest Florida region, as well as exhibits depicting research at Mote and a
135,000 gallon marine research and display aquarium where large sharks and other marine animals are maintained.
Mote Marine T ahorato~'s Projlram at Pijleon Key
The opportunity to develop a marine research station at the Pigeon Key facility is consistent with Mote
Marine Laboratory's long range plans for research and educational programs. MML is a member of the Association
of Marine Laboratories of the Caribbean and the Southern Association of Marine Laboratories. Mote scientists
currently are working in Mexico, Colombia, Nicaragua and Panama, establishing an international reputation in
tropical marine research. Establishing marine research activities, in concert with education programs for the public,
at Pigeon Key is of utmost importance for protecting and enhancing the fragile tropical environment of the Florida
Keys.
18
(
The type of research use proposed for Pigeon Key would be primarily to serve as a research station from
which investigations of the various tropical systems in and around the Florida Keys would be staged. Initially most
of the activities would be field oriented but a seawater system for aquaria and tanks to hold specimens for
observations would be required, along with laboratory facilities for sample processing and controlled
experimentation. Mote's plans for the research station include the addition of a sophisticated environmental
monitoring system. This will be developed as the restoration work proceeds on the buildings and electrical system
at Pigeon Key.
The Bridge Foreman's House will be used as dedicated research space. Additional space needs will be
accommodated through that existing in the laboratory and classroom building when research needs are not in conflict
with educational uses. Structural renovation would be required in each building. Interior renovations would provide
lab and office space for scientists, in addition to general use laboratory space. A seawater system will be built into
one of the buildings or, if not in conflict with historical regulations, in an outside shelter. The Bridge Tender's
House will be reconstructed and used as additional lab and office space. Other buildings will be available for
housing, classroom and multipurpose use, depending on changing demands.
At present no permanent scientific staff is expected to reside on the island. Mote and other scientists will
use the dorm facilities or, whenever necessary due to occupancy limitations, stay at nearby hotels. It is anticipated
that lab, office, and dorm facilities would be available for visiting scientists and graduate student research assistants,
as well as college and school classes. Facilities will be provided through a user fee basis and scheduling will be
coordinated by Mote Marine Laboratory and the Pigeon Key resident manager.
It is estimated that MML scientists would utilize the Pigeon Key facility approximately 30 percent of the
time. This figure may change when new research programs are established and after additional facilities become
available. MML expects to be able to utilize the research facilities fully with scientists and graduate students from
other organizations. Research activities are expected to include:
a) Coral reef ecology:
· investigations of productivity and diversity of coral reef systems, focusing on problems facing reef
communities including global warming, pollution, natural disasters.
· taxonomy of undescribed species
· protection and enhancement of reef communities.
b) Benthic ecology:
· description and evaluation of soft bottom communities.
· interactions among coral reef, seagrass and soft bottom communities.
c) Seagrass ecology:
· descriptive biological, chemical and physical aspects of seagrass communities.
· impact and recovery of seagrass beds from pollution, dredging and storms.
d) Tropical research extension of the National Center for Shark Research, headquartered at MML:
· investigations of behavior, ecology, reproduction and sensory perception in sharks of the Florida
19
Keys.
(
.
initiate a shark tagging and tracking program to study shark fisheries biology.
· specimen collection for controlled research studies.
e) Pollution monitoring and impact analysis.
· water quality assessment
· monitoring toxic chemicals in water, sediment, air and organisms.
· investigations of oil spill impact.
Fllndinll of Research at Piieon K~y
Operational costs to maintain a research facility at Pigeon Key are estimated by MML to be $25,000 per
year, which will be generated through user fees. Additional costs for specific research activities would be borne
by the individual research project.
Research facility funds will be generated by the user fees that will be charged to Mote and other scientists.
Examples of possible user fees for lab space and dormitory usage are shown in Table 2.
MML would also use the Pigeon Key facility for educ.ational purposes, anticipated to include conferences
and workshops for specific topics related to research activities in the Florida Keys, summer camps for marine science
students, intensive courses in specialized marine research topics, and training courses for science teachers. The
inception of these programs is dependent upon the facility stabilization and restoration schedule. It is anticipated
that it will be possible to occupy the research facilities fully after the restoration work is completed.
We also plan to cooperate with other research organizations who would be interested in using the field
station. Letters of interest for such use are attached to this document as Appendix III. Many other potential users
have verbally expressed an interest. The organizations contacted to date include the University of Florida's Zoology
Department, Florida Sea Grant, the University of Georgia's Department of Ecology, and the Florida Audubon
Society. It is expected that we will able to book these facilities for 70 percent of the year. Additional user fees
will, of course, be generated as the facilities are expanded during our third to fifth years of occupancy.
Research boats will be provided, on a user fee basis, by Mote Marine Laboratory. These boats will be
available to both Mote and non-Mote scientists. Mote Marine Laboratory regularly receives boat donations and good
work boats are kept for research usages. We expect to keep a fleet of 3-5 research boats of various types and
lengths at Pigeon Key. This equipment will be kept on trailers and stored under the bridge when they are not in
use. Davits may be installed on the dock or in the seawater pool to lift boats in and out of the water.
Mote Marine Laboratory has set aside a sum of $25,000 that will be available to Mote staff, during 1993,
as a source of start-up funds for research at Pigeon Key. Part of this money may be spent on the initial stabilization
and furniture required for MML's research facility. It is expected that we will be able to secure research grants and
contracts that will sustain our planned use of the field station facilities.
Several research projects that are currently housed at Mote's Sarasota Laboratory, that may use the Pigeon
Key facility, include a DNR-sponsored study of post-release mortality of King Mackerel, a study of current literature
on fisheries resources within the Florida Keys area, a study of shark immunological systems, and a NMFS and DNR
sponsored study of shark nursery ground ecology and fisheries. The former swimming pool/holding tank will be
20
partially utilized as a holding tank for research animals. Mote scientists currently buy lemon sharks from Keys'
fishennen and transport them to Sarasota for immunological studies.
(
Future Research Facilities
A flow-through saltwater system to supply large tanks and aquaria will be built during the second to third
years of Mote's tenure at Pigeon Key. The system has not yet been designed but it will operate on principles similar
to the seawater system at Crane Point Hammock.
A second research building will be reconstructed at the site of the old Bridge Tender's House. This work
should begin during the third to fifth year of Mote's tenure at Pigeon Key. The construction of this building will
follow the original plans.
If an adequate electrical supply is available we will be able to supply the facilities with computers and other
sensitive electronic equipment.
A recent equipment donation will immediately enable us to install two tide gauges at Pigeon Key, the site
of a National Ocean Survey historic tide monitoring station, that will be used by research scientists and by students.
The donor has also agreed to install the gauges and to provide training in their use and maintenance.

(
PIGEON KEY BUILDINGS AND UTILITIES
, The buildings currently present on Pigeon Key are not in good condition, Much work needs to be
completed to make these buildings safe and comfortable to use. We envision that an initial stabilization program
will make some of the facilities ready for use within six months from the completion of our leasing agreement with
Monroe County. As this stabilization program is progressing, we will be actively pursuing funding for overall
restoration of existing buildings and reconstruction of buildings that were historically present on Pigeon Key.
Utilities on Pigeon Key at present need to be upgraded to permit many of the uses that the Foundation plans
for the facilities. The most urgent needs are the development of adequate sewage handling facilities and a potable
water supply. Electrical supply upgrades must also be made as the facilities develop. We will utilize some new
technologies for the needed changes in utilities.
The zoning regulations that currently affect Pigeon Key may have to be changed to allow all of the
activities that are planned for the island. It is our understanding that Monroe County will help the Foundation in
reviewing zoning needs. We will explore possible changes to see if they are compatible with the Land
Developement Regulations.
Stabilization
It is the intent of the Foundation to address the structural concerns of the County safety office adequately
as defmed by the "Monroe County Facility Safety Inspection Report" (August 28, 1991) relating to the structures
on Pigeon Key. We have performed our own inspections and we will engage in the necessary repair activities to
remedy the identified problems before allowing the utilization of the individual structures by any user group.
Our initial efforts will focus on stabilizing areas of ongoing deterioration and towards providing protection
against further potential structural damage. The main area of deterioration appears to be the floor system around
virtually all water penetrations (kitchen and bath areas). As a general procedure, the rotted floor boards will be
removed from these areas, proper bracing installed, and the floor temporarily replaced (until total renovation efforts
occur). We also plan to paint the exterior through a community volunteer effort. The new paint will additionally
stabilize building exteriors. An even more important aspect of this volunteer effort will be the reintroduction of
Pigeon Key to the citizens of Monroe County. Estimates of the costs of the stabilization effort, without volunteer
help and donated materials are shown in Appendix V.
Restoration and Renovation
As is to be expected, the actual historic rehabilitation of the various structures will be dependent upon
available funds. It is anticipated that major renovation efforts will not be undertaken on individual structures until
sufficient monies are in place to allow the smooth and continuous completion of the intended project. Per the study
commissioned by the County and completed by Mr. Dennis Beebe, the renovation costs associated with the existing
structures could be well in excess of 1.25 million dollars (Appendix V). This amount does not take into account
costs associated with remedying problems with various utilities, sewage disposal requirements, fees associated with
professional assistance; etc. The final bill could potentially be more than 2.25 million dollars!
The foundation recognizes that the only way to finance a project of this magnitude on a ~ property
will be through private contributions and grants. Accordingly, we have been in continuous contact with Monroe
Counties Grants Management Office to apprise them of various grant opportunities that we are aware of. We will
cooperate with the Grants Management Office to assist them in the preparation of documents and grant proposals
We also intend to pursue all appropriate grant opportunities that we discover through our own various contacts and
22
efforts.
(
Additionally, we will maintain an ongoing pursuit of donations of construction materials and related
services. A major lumber yard has already committed to provide us with the materials necessary to perform the
varioUl stabilization activities on the buildings where it is feasible to do so. Experienced construction personnel
eagerly await the opportunity to provide their voluntary labor efforts in these renovation tasks. We are confident
a continuous flow of donated materials and services can be obtained as specific needs are identified.
The actual identification of the various rehabilitation requirements is an item that will take a considerable
amount of time. This is due primarily to the necessity of identifying, as accurately as possible, the original
appearance and structure of each building. Presently, the foundation is organizing a team of historical renovation,
architectural experts, and historical societies to participate in the rehabilitation effort on Pigeon Key. Construction
contracts will be put out for public bidding as required by granting agency regulations. As soon as the proper
design details of each building can be identified a more thorough and accurate cost analysis can be developed for
each site. Funds can then be solicited and designated for appropriate projects, work can be scheduled and finally,
historic rehabilitation begun!
Several other factors that could affect work flow would be zoning concerns of the County and potential
sewage disposal problems. These and any other concerns will be resolved prior to the initiation of related activities.
~
The dock on the north side of Pigeon Key will be improved or rebuilt as a priority project. Until this work
is completed the former swimming pool will be used as a docking facility for small boats.
Boat Yard
A small area may be set aside under the bridge to serve as a shelter and secure parking area for boats on
trailers and other Foundation equipment.
Ram1l
The ramp will be maintained through a system dependent on the collection of tolls. Tolls will be built into
user fees and passes may be purchased for repeated use of the ramp.
Sewalle Treatment
Alternative One: Septic tanks and approved mound-type drainfields will be built on Pigeon Key of
sufficient capacity to serve all of the buildings that require toilet facilities and shower (grey water) waste treatment.
Under this alternative, Monroe County may install a septic tank for the main house; the Foundation may choose to
increase this capacity at installation time in order to treat larger quantities of water. The Foundation will support
drainfield construction.
Alternative Two: After this initial installation, the Foundation may opt for a two-level waste treatment plan.
Human sewage will be handled with approved compo sting toilets located at appropriate areas of the island. Grey
water from showers will be handled with a separate septic system.
Alternative Three: A complete sewage plant (package plant) may be installed to handle all wastes generated
on Pigeon Key. Additional methods will be explored, and a combination of techniques may be utilized.
Electric I Ttilities
The Foundation intends to operate the generators in place on Pigeon Key.
23
(
Alternative One: The Foundation will investigate possibilities of a new power line from the Marathon
mainland.
Alternative Two: The Foundation may increase power on the island by installing generators with a larger
capacity .
Alternative Three: The Foundation may experiment with supplemental electric power from experimental
sources. This may include wind power, solar power and wave or current power. Combinations of all of the above
may be implemented.
Potable Water
It is understood that the water from the old pipeline is non-potable.
Alternative One: All potable water for educational/research groups will be brought in by individual users
in suitable containers.
Alternative Two: Monroe County has approved the construction of a new water-line to Pigeon Key.
Alternative Three: The Foundation will consider experimental methods of generating additional potable
water. These may include solar desalination plants, cistern collection, and other methods that will be of an
educational nature as well as a means of securing potable water.

SECTION VI.
FUND RAISING
SECTION VL FUND RAISING
c,
ACTIVITIES AND PROJECTIONS
Fund raising will focus on six individual areas:
1) Corporate
2) Funds, Trusts, and Foundations
3) Grants
4) Individuals
5) General Membership in the Foundation
6) User Fees
We expect to receive operating and restoration funds from these sources. Other sources of income will be
considered but we expect that the listed sources will provide the bulk of our funding needs.
The following section explains each of the six areas of fund raising and the strategies we will use to acquire
funds from each source. Fund raising targets are presented in Table I. '
CORPORATE
We have developed a data base of more than 700 major U.S. corporations. We will send (after the lease
with Monroe County is signed) the Chairman of the Board of each corporation a letter asking them to get involved
with Pigeon Key. We will follow up with phone calls so that they can direct us to the office which handles their
environmental involvement.
We have made and are making appointments with major local corporations in the South Florida area.
John Alden Insurance Company of Miami has expressed a definite interest in helping us as part of their
community involvement effort. Others who have expressed similar interest are Southern Bell and Knight-Ridder.
FOUNDA TIONS, FUNDS, AND TRUSTS
We intend to contact the environmentally, educationally, and historically oriented members of this group
first. Other potential contributors from our foundations listing will also be contacted.
GRANTS (other than research)
All grant applications for historical restoration will be coordinated through Monroe County. Numerous
grants are available to help with restoration projects. We have been advised that the best approach to obtaining
restoration grants is to get an architect, who specializes in historical restoration work, interested in the project. The
architect will develop restoration plans and present them to the appropriate governmental and private organizations.
Mr. Dennis Beebe, the architect who developed the restoration plan known as the "Beebe Report" has expressed an
interest in working with the Pigeon Key Foundation in this effort. As soon as we sign the lease with Monroe
County we will actively pursue these grants in a cooperative effort with Monroe County.
INDIVIDUALS
We have contacted numerous individuals who have the ability to make major contributions. Jimmy
Buffett's benefit concert (on December 2, 1992) for the Pigeon Key Foundation at Gusman Cultural Center in Miami
was the result of such a contact. He has said that he would like to perform more benefit concerts on an annual
schedule. Contacts with other individuals include a discussion with Christa Ryan and the George F. Baker Trust.
They would like to visit Pigeon Key after the lease is signed.
We anticipate that individual donations will be a source that may result in major contributions but on an
25
unpredictable basis.
(
GENERAL MEMBERSHIP
General memberships will be solicited by mail and by brochures and forms that will be made available at
a variety of locations. We also intend to network membership information with everyone we know and in turn with
everyone they know.
We are asking for a minimum contribution of $20. This will make the contributor a member of the Pigeon
Key Foundation. They will receive the Foundation newsletter (sample attached) and an opportunity to visit Pigeon
Key. Memberships will also be available for donations of S50, $100, S500. and $1,000 with corresponding rights
and privileges similar to the Land and Sea Trust.
USER FEES
The organizations and people who use Pigeon Key for general use, historical, environmental education, and
research will pay user fees. A schedule of user fees (fable 2) begins on page 27 of this document. The Foundation
will keep the user fees at a reasonable level that makes the facilities easily affordable but high enough to afford the
routine costs of maintenance and operation of the Pigeon Key facilities. A certain percentage of user fees will be
set aside as a contingency fund for ramp maintenance, generator maintenance, and for emergency expenditures.

Dear Mr. Hammond:
On behalf of the Monroe County Marine and Port Advisory Committee (MPAC) I want to thank
you for participating in our last meeting. Your presentation on the history of Pigeon Key and
the plans of the Pigeon Key Foundation for future tourism, ~esearch and education related
activities was both informative and interestin~. We were -parti~ul~H'ly impressed with the
courage and resourcefulness shown by the Foundation in your attempt to not only preserve
the historical attributes of Pigeon Key but also to make it an integral asset to the County and
the Marathon community.
The MPAC voted unanimously to endorse your vision and plans for Pigeon Key. We wish you
the best in your efforts to negotiate a lease with the County. By copy of this letter we are
expressing our support to the Board of County Commission for your proposal to manage
Pigeon Key. Please keep us informed of your progress.

Big Pine Key, FL 33043
Dear Joe:
Thanks for sending me a copy of the Council's proposal to
manage Pigeon Key, addressed to Monroe County in response to
their request for proposal.
The proposal interests me for several reasons. First, as a
lifelong boater I'm increasingly concerned with how we can
conserve the quality of our waterways, shorelines, and
islands, along with all the lifeforms they contain. Second,
as an educator I'm always interested in helping to solve
problems whereever possible through education and
prevention; it makes more sense to teach someone how to
avoid killing something than to suffer the loss or try to
recover from it. Third, I applaud any mix of usages that
includes environmental education, research, and 'recreation.
That's a great combination, one with a lot of appeal for
Monroe County residents and for others as well.
My ur~de:!'st':-.r'0j_.!"Si~ 'tn;:ot. YOLl i:1t~!ld t-:- C'rg~.!,J ~Q your
management 9rouP as a nonprofit 50l(C)(3) corporation if you
are awarded a contract by Monroe County to operate Pigeon
Key. I agree with the aims of your proposal, and I wish you
success in your bid. If you do become the managers of
Pigeon Key, I would like to discuss with you ways in which
John Alden Financial Corporation can assist you as part of
our community involvement effort. Good luck.

Michael J. Marshall, Ph.D.

Sarasota, FL 34236
Dear Dr. Marshall:
Thank you for your letter/fay. of May 28th asking for Florida
Audubon's advice on Mote Marine Lab possibly managing the marine lab
and dormitory facilities at Pigeon Key. I appreciate you sharing your
ideas with us. My staff evaluated it as a worthwhile project and a good
use for the Pigeon Key" facility and I agree.
Florida Audubon would certainly have an interest in using
the facility in the future for meetings such as our Board of Directors'
Retreat and possibly the Annual Convention (dependent cn housing availability
and cost). It would appear that the facility would also be a good candidate
for such meetings as the Everglades Coalition and Coral Reef Coalition.
One project suggested by Dr. Herb Kale involved creation
of tern and skimmer nesting habitat on the unused (isolated) section
of the old seven mile bridge. This would involve placing pea rock as
nesting substrate on segments of the abandoned bridge thus creating a
rather ideal semi-protected nesting area 1n the middle of a potential
feeding area.
I wish you luck in obtaining the management contract to make
this a reality.

For the past several years, stude~ts fro~ our program have

our up?er 2~vel marine science classes currently use ~he FIO

This SU!Tmler we will offer a marin€: science progra!:i to talented

several cays in the field. The availability of a research and
teaching facility on Pigeon Key would enable us ~o attract top
students from 2round the country to s~udy marine ecology in the

Aside from our interest in Pigeo~ Key for teaching and research,
W~ hope t]}bt ~his relatively untouched remnant of the Florida

Dear ~ike:
I am very interested in the proposal that the Mote Marine
Laboratory submitted relative to utilization and maintenance of
Pigeon Key in Monroe County. Programs of the Department of
Zoology could well rn~ke use of the Pigeon Key Laboratory
facilities and adjactnt marine communities. Certainly the
subtropical nature of the area is very different from our region,
and as such would give us an~ther study area for faculty and
graduate student research as well as for undergraduate and
graduate student class field trips. It is an ideal location for
field trips, for examples, for our summer undergraduate marine
biology course or for our graduate marine ecology course. Our
department has renewed its commitment to marine studies in the
past few years, so we will continue to look for suitable
locations for research and classwork in a State where the points
of access to the coasts are being reduced by developments.
Thanks for asking us to be potential participants in such a
program.

Dear Mr. Jenrette,
Thank you for your interest in our publication, and specifically the Pigeon Key
photograph which appeared in the Spring 1993 issue. As per your request, enclosed
are 12 complimentary copies of that issue.
\
. Since Latitudes South covers the American Eagle destination of Marathon, we are
greatly interested in events in that area. For that reason, we would like very much to
receive "The Island Traveler" newsletter on a regular basis. Please send the
newsletter to Sharon Dan, Latitudes South editor.
Again, thank you for your interest and we look forward to finding out more about
Pigeon Key.
Sincerely,

APPENDIX IV.
USER GROUP: ANALYSES AND DESCRIPTIONS
OF FACILITIES USE PATTERNS
Uler Group Conllderatlons
c
The following pages provide details of numerous user groups that may have access to Pigeon Key. This
analysis has been prepared in order that we may have reasonable definitions of these groups and be able to plan and
prepare for them. More groups may be added as this document evolves.
The format that has been used by the Utilization Committee is as follows:
USER GROUP:
Defmition of the group
Definitions
User groups within the education program will include two general categories of users; these are:
Day use groups: Environmental and historical education for day use groups will be accomplished through tours of
historic structures and research facilities, snorkeling tours of surrounding habitats, lab-based classroom lecturing,
meetings, conferences or festivals. The island will also serve as a staging and departure point for field trips to
remote habitats (reef, back country, etc.).
Residential (overnillht use) iro\lPS: Environmental and historical education through extended education programs
or projects, conferences, environmental events, and other activities to promote communication and information
exchange on issues of local and regional importance.
STRUCTURES NEEDED
Examines what physical structures and space needs might be required for the group. In some cases, alternatives are
presented.
LOGISTICS
Considers logistics of transportation and staff needs for these groups. Other considerations are included as
warranted.
COSTS
Describes baseline (overhead) and extra costs associated with supporting this user group. These costs do not include
the Structures or Staffing costs identified earlier.

If this becomes an in-the-water program, may require:
· acquisition of masks, snorkels, fins.
· boats capable of 30+ passenger service.
· professional captains.
· Insurance commensurate with activities (provided by the School Board).
COSTS
Would require all normal overhead costs plus some extra solid waste, sewage costs and
extra wear-and-tear maintenance costs. If this becomes an in-the-water program, will be
considerable extra cost.
USER GROUP:
CoIlele. and Unlver.ltle.
(
, Colleges and Universities have traditionally used Pigeon Key in a very "laissez fair" fashion. They provide
their own food, rent boats on their own, and all of the instruction provided comes from faculty members from the
school. Their programs have been provided without any structure supported by Pigeon Key staff.
Programs: Survey marine education programs with some research.

The Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS) through a cooperative agreement with The Nature
Conservancy (TNC) has established a volunteer program with full-time coordinator. Among the volunteers are
groups (of 20) who will come from far away -- requiring overnight accommodation. Length of stay will usually
be a week (weekend or month), usually adults (including college students), year round. Activities will involve
support of Sanctuary Programs (off Pigeon Key) during day. Volunteers are sometimes going through a preparatory

USER GROUP:
Residential Non-College Youth Programs
(
This user group will be school children from Monroe County and elsewhere. They will be coming for
overnight (1-6 days) programs, and will require guided instruction in program areas. It is envisioned they will come
by bus, be transported from Marathon to Pigeon Key by a shuttle (boat or van), will leave the island on field trips
(by boat or van), will eat all meals on island, will have meals prepared for them, and will require much supervision.

Pigeon Key.
OPTIONS
There are a number of ways to run programs like this. We can hire CaptainlInstructors
on an "as-needed" basis, rent 6-passenger vessels, and hire minimal extra staff for
cooking. We can alternatively rent out the facilities to existing groups (such as
MSUS/MRDF/Seacamp) who already have instructors and boats. We may also find it
more cost-effective to request catering services for meals. All amenities would be
provided by the Foundation.
