MONROE COUNTY LAND AUTHORITY M E M 0 RAN DUM DATE: February 22, 1988 TO: FROM: Board of County Commissioners Charles Pattison, Executive Director~ Proposed Considerations for Land Authorlty Purchases from Tourist Impact Tax Proceeds RE: ---------------------------------------------------------------- At your direction, I met with Bob Ernst to describe the list of projects he would like considered for listing by the Land Authority should the Tourist Impact Tax pass on March 8, 1988. I have listed below those projects as they were identified to me. It is my understanding that Mr. Ernst wishes to reach an agreement with you that the below list or something similar may be submitted to the Advisory Committee at a later date for consideration in revising the recently developed acquisition list. This list will be in addition to the separate infrastructure list also being prepared. To the extent that they can be located in the REDI aerials, I will identify them for you at the February 23, 1988, special meeting. The below list has no specific priority within the category and is meant to provide a range of appropriate projects reflecting preservation and conservation considerations. LOWER KEYS (1) Little Torch acreage (oceanside); (2) all Big Pine Key property south of Watson Blvd. not within ACCC boundaries; (3) properties adjacent to Coupon Bight not on CARL list; (4) Filer acreage tracts on Little Torch; and (5) all inholdings on No Name Key. MIDDLE KEYS (1) 60 acres known as Crane Point in Marathon; (2) Switlik Acreage, Marathon; (3) Coco Plum Beach, Fat Deer Key; (4) 50 acres along Aviation Blvd; (5) 8,8 acres behind Marathon Airport; and (6) property in Marathon Shores. UPPER KEYS (1) Key Largo Lodge; (2) Dove Creek; (3) south end of Key Largo; (4) properties bordering Snake Creek; (5) Rodriguez Key; (6) Dove Key; and (7) various properties on bayside of Plantation Key. \f\ ~ City of Key Colony Beach: Miscellaneous Civic Improvements subject to Interlocal agreement Lower Keys: Big Pine Key Civic Center and Recreation Complex Stock Island Recreation and Youth Center Miscellaneous Recreation Projects City of Key West: Beach Improvement and Renourishment Projects Miscellaneous Recreation Projects Subject to Interlocal Agreement Miscellaneous Civic Improvement Projects Subject to Interlocal Agreement 2. Land Authority Funding Properties listed in the submitted to the State i rule Based upon the s of Tax Revenue discussed at the staff meet' n ruary 18, it is estimated that ap- proximat y $1,500,000.00 gr ss revenues per year could be expect- ed from t ax, with the County and the Land Au- thority each sharing one half. The projects identified above, together with the Land Authority are in opinion of staff, all bondable, meaning that between $9-10 million net revenues may be available for actual use over a 20 year bonding period. Alter- nately, monies collected each year could be sued in that or subse- quent years on a pay as you go basis. Further you should know that funds raised from this tax, may be combined with impact fee funds for certain eligible projects that are related to the impact of growth within the County. Recommendation: It is recommended that your Board adopt a resolution support- ing the passage of the Tourist Tax with one half cent for the Land Authority projects and one half cent for ad valorem tax containment which recognizes the above named projects as typical projects for use of funds. Further we recommend that your resolu- tion contain language stating that final priorities within the incorporated cities of the County shall be subject to Interlocal agreements. .
