AGENDA ITEM WORDING:
Approval of a First Amendment to the Temporary Use Lease Agreement for a Homeless Safe Zone
with the City of Key West to extend the term to May 31, 2025, for KOTS in its temporary location at
the Sheriffs Headquarters property in Key West.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
The County has leased space on the County owned Sheriff's headquarters and jail property to the City
of Key West for use as homeless safe zone since 2004, known as the Keys Overnight Temporary
Shelter (KOTS). The use eventually resulted in litigation with the neighbors, which was resolved when
the City agreed to explore moving KOTS across College Road to the City owned parcel known as the
Easter Seals property. After the City Commission determined that the community would be better
served by building low-income affordable housing on the Easter Seals property, the City asked the
County to consider permitting the City to use the current KOTS property to build an improved, code
compliant KOTS facility. In September of 2017, the Sheriff received Board approval to pursue housing
for his employees in that same space. The Board directed the County Attorney to negotiate with the
City and the Sheriff to see if an agreement could be reached. The negotiations produced a 2019 Keys
Overnight Temporary Shelters (KOTS) and Essential Governmental Employee Housing Interlocal
Agreement with the City of Key West(2019 ILA).
Under the 2019 ILA, the City deeded to the County a deed restricted parcel of property on Trumbo
Road in Key West for the purposes of constructing up to 40 units of affordable housing for use by
employees of the Sheriff as well as other public safety employees. In exchange, the County would
lease to the City for 99 years an expanded portion of the Jail property to include the current portion
occupied by KOTS as well as additional property between KOTS and the mangrove shoreline.
Construction of affordable housing on the Trumbo property is the responsibility of the County through
the Sheriff. In the future, if the City is able to legally accept title to the "new KOTS"property without a
430
referendum, then the County will deed that property over to the City with a deed restriction, limiting the
use of the property as a homeless shelter. The deed restriction would alternatively allow the City to
build affordable housing on the property should the City determine to discontinue providing a homeless
shelter at the KOTS location.
During the period in which the City leases the new KOTS facility from the County, the City would pay
nominal rent to the County and the County would continue to provide the City with up to $5,000
towards its utility costs of running KOTS. The City would bear the costs of building the new KOTS
facility. While the new KOTS facility is being built, the City has relocated the current KOTS facility to
a parcel of land near the parcel KOTS formerly utilized at the Sheriff's Headquarters. The City and
County entered a Temporary Use Lease Agreement for a Homeless Safe Zone (Agreement) on October
19, 2022, to relocate the KOTS facility to another location on site for the new construction to proceed.
The Temporary Lease Agreement provided for a two-year period commencing on October 19, 2022,
and terminating on October 18, 2024, as the City contemplated it would take at least eighteen (18)
months to build the new facility to be known as the John Jones Navigational Center. The Agreement
provides for a monthly rental fee of$10.00 per month, with increased fees if the City does not timely
vacate and becomes a holdover tenant. A 2019 ILA between the City, County and Sheriff remains in
full force and effect. Sheriff Ramsay is in agreement with the extension of time.
While the construction of the new facility has taken longer than expected, the City anticipates that the
new facility should be completed in late April or early May. There will be additional rent of$70 due
for the extended period. This First Amendment seeks approval to extend the term to May 31, 2025, to
allow sufficient time to complete the new facility, upon the same terms and conditions of the Temporary
Use Lease Agreement.

Date: September 12,2024 City Commission meeting
To: The City Commission for the City of Key West
From: Ronald Ramsingh,City Attorney
Subject: Lease extension for the temporary KOTS facility pending construction
Sponsors: Todd Stoughton, Interim City Manager
Background
The City and the County entered into a ground lease,and an amendment for what is referred to as
"temporary KOTS", which is the former Keys Overnight Temporary Shelter from its historic
footprint, to another area just south of the current construction area of the new John Jones
Navigational Center. The current lease for temporary KOTS expires on October 18, 2024.
Construction has taken longer than anticipated. This extension gives the city the ability to run
temporary KOTS through May 31,2025, if needed.
Cost
This is a no cost measure for the city.
O 1tions
1. Approve the lease extension through May 31, 2025 while the John Jones Navigational
Center is under construction. This will provide a path for the city to continue to provide
crucial homeless shelter services.
437
2. Deny the lease extension. The city will not be able to continue to operate the temporary
homeless shelter while the John Jones Navigational Center is being constructed.
Recommendation:
To approve the lease extension.
