proposal and presented the following requests:
(1) That a newly revised AICUZ footprint and land
use matrix be substituted for the original
footprint and matrix which now appears in the
Monroe County Comprenehsive Zoning Ordinance.
(2) That zoning in various areas of the AICUZ be
modified to reduce residential density in the
vicinity of Naval Air Station runways. The

(4) That the moratorium on zoning variances and
building permits be extended for eight months
on those portions of the AICUZ which are either
in accident potential zones or in the zone
of highest noise intensity (Zone 3) as depicted
on the new AICUZ footprint. Properties af-
fected by this request are somewhat less than
those covered by the current moratorium.
Motion was made by Chairman pro tern Hernandez and seconded by
Commissioner Harvey to extend the moratorium for eight (8)
months on APZ-l and APZ-II (those area outlined in yellow on
map). Motion carried unanimously. Motion was then made by

tions 1 and 2. Motion as amended carried unanimously. Motion
was then made by Commissioner Blair and seconded by Commission
er Harvey instructing staff to draw up an ordinance and to
advertise for public hearings on a noise attenuation ordinance
in accordance with the Navy's request. Roll call vote was
taken and carried with Commissioner Sorensen voting no.
LEGAL DEPARTMENT
The next item for discussion was a report on Tele-
Media Franchise and the status of the County Translator

the question of the Franchise Agreement and to hear the item
concerning the Translator separate. The Board agreed. Mr.
W 045
Proby advised the Board that the Commission has copies of the
amended Franchise as has been proposed by Tele Media Co. He
also advised the Board that there have been three (3) negotia-
tion sessions with Tele Media. Mr. Jack spottswood, Attorney,
representing Tele Media Co., of Key West, addressed the Board
and indicated that he was not notified that he should be pre-
sent today for final negotiations and that Mr. Tudek, Presiden ,
would have to make the final decision on this matter and he wa~
not in town. Commissioner Blair indicated that he wanted to
take appropriate action today on the final draft. Counsel
advised that he did not feel it would be appropriate since all
parties involved were not notified. Mr. spottswood briefed
the Board on the franchise fee based upon the gross percentage
of monthly subscribers fee. Motion was made by Commissioner
Harvey and seconded by Commissioner Sorensen to call for a
special meeting on Monday, June 8, 1981 at 10:00 A.M., in the

propriate staff to have a work session on their franchise agree

REPORTS AND CORRESPONDENCE OF BOARD MEMBERS
The Board then discussed the County Translator
Television;
Licenses &
Permits;
Ordinance;
Permits with FCC that will expire on July 16, 1981. Commis-
sioner Blair presented a draft ordinance which would create the
Monroe County Television Translator Board; provide for member-
ship and qualifications on said Board; provide for the
~~-
organization and functions of said Board; declare budgeting and
expenditure of funds pursuant to said ordinance to be a County
and public purpose; provide for severability for invalid
portions; repeal all ordinances or parts of ordinances in con-
flict with said ordinance; provide for inclusion and incorpora-
tion of this ordinance in the Code of Ordinances in the County
of Monroe, Florida; and provide an effective date. Motion was
made by Commissioner Blair and seconded by Commissioner Harvey
~w
to declare that an emergency exists due to the FCC Permits
expiring in July and waiving the requirements of advertising
the proposed ordinance under the requirements of Florida
Statutes. Mr. Jack spottswood, Attorney representing Tele
Medi~ Co., of Key West, addressed the Board indicating that
it was his opinion that this was not an emergency, that the
emergency has arisen due to the fact that the County feels
that because they have not had the money budgeted since last
fiscal year that Tele Media can go before the FCC and ask the
FCC to have the application dismissed due to the fact that
Monroe County does not have sufficient funds budgeted and
available to build the Translator System. He advised the
Board that Tele Media is not going to oppose the County's
request for an extension of time on the hearing which has
been set and reset several times. He feels that it is no
emergency because he is prepared to tell FCC that Tele Media
will not oppose the County's extension of time until such
time as they have completed the negotiations and as long as
the negotiations are in progress and being conducted in good
faith they have no problem with it. The County Attorney asked
Mr. Spottswood to reduce his comments to writing to his
counsel and file it with the FCC. Motion carried unanimously.
Motion was made by Commissioner Blair and seconded by Com-
missioner Harvey to read the ordinance by title only if there
was no objection from the public. Motion carried unanimously.
Commissioner Blair briefly described the ordinance. A public
hearing was held. The following individuals spoke in favor of
the ordinance: Mrs. Herbert Landy, Mr. Bill Westray, Mr. Joel
Rosenblatt, Ms. Marsha Gobo, Mr. Herbert Goodwin, Mr. Hank
Nauberit, Mr. Robert Tuttle, and Mr. Dick Akers. Mr. Jack
spottswood spoke against the ordinance. After public discus-
sion a motion was made by Commissioner Blair and seconded by
Commissioner Harvey to adopt the ordinance creating the com-
mittee as presented. Lengthy discussion ensued. Commissioner
Sorensen discussed several amendments. Motion was made by
Commissioner Sorensen and seconded by Commissioner Hernandez
to strike the names that have been provided in the ordinance.
