A RESOLUTION OF THE MONROE COUNTY BOARD OF
COMMISSIONERS AUTHORIZING SUBMISSION OF A
FLORIDA FOREVER BOUNDARY MODIFICATION FORM
AND DESIGNATION OF MONROE COUNTY AS LAND
MANAGER THEREIN FOR CONSERVATION AND
NATURAL AREA LANDS.
WHEREAS, on August 20, 2003, the Monroe County Board of County
Commissioners adopted Resolution 346-2003, thereby identifying natural areas
appropriate for public acquisition on the Conservation and Natural Areas (CNA)
Map; and
WHEREAS, State funding is available through the Florida Forever program
to acquire natural areas in the Keys where such lands are included within a
designated Florida Forever project; and
WHEREAS, due to the Area of Critical State Concern designation,
Outstanding Florida Waters designation, high biodiversity, and potential impacts
on State-owned conservation lands, all properties in the CNA are candidates to be
added to a Florida Forever project via a boundary modification; and
WHEREAS, in order to receive the benefit of State acquisition funding, all
boundary modification forms must identify a property manager; and
WHEREAS, the state and federal governments already manage the majority
of the publicly owned properties within the CNA; and
WHEREAS, there may be some properties in the CNA which the land
managing agencies at the state and federal levels are either unable or unwilling to
manage and for which Monroe County will be the only available manager; NOW
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS, MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA THAT:
Section 1. Staff is hereby authorized to submit a Florida Forever boundary
modification form to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection for the
balance of the vacant, private property within the CNA which is not already
included within the existing Florida Forever projects or their proposed additions.
