County, it citizens, and in actuality to afford protection for
State facilities that will probably be located in any park that
is placed in the area; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNTY COMMISSION OF MONROE COUNTY,
FLORIDA, as follows:
Section 1.
That the State of Florida afford to the
County assurances, in writing, that the two and one half acres

available to the County not less than one half acre at the fire
station for training purposes; that in that event an additional
two and one half acres shall be located elsewhere in State-owned
lands for the purpose of moving the translator at some future
time. It is to be noted that the translator tower is not only
