accomplished in order to continue to secure grant funding under the Unmet Needs Program.

AMENDMENT TO THE FKAA/MONROE COUNTY
JOINT RESOLUTION AND INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDMENT to a joint resolution/interlocal agreement dated February 14,
2002 (a copy of which is attached and made a part of this amendment, hereafter the
original agreement), is entered into by and between Monroe County (the County) and the
Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority (FKAA).
In consideration of the mutual promises and consideration set forth below, the
parties agree as follows:
1. The original agreement, Sec. 2A, is amended to read as follows:
Monroe County shall immediately appropriate and fund all matching fund
requirements of local government under the Unmet Needs Program grant
requirements (Project Funding $7,314,285: Federal Share $5,485,714,000,
State Share $914,286 and Local Share $914,285). Monroe County will
forward to FKAA twenty percent (20%) $182,857 of the required local match
upon execution of this resolution. Such funds are to be held by FKAA as
security for the local match in a separate fund and used for the Key Largo
wastewater project(s), and otherwise segregated from all other funds of the
FKAA. Any earned interest on these funds shall be considered as part of the
principal amount of local match funding required by Monroe County and
subject to same conditions of expenditure. Upon FKAA written request based
on previous expenditure documentation, Monroe County will subsequently
make local match reimbursements up to the stated 20% ($182,857) upon the
approval of the federal/state reimbursements to FKAA. It is the intent of the
parties to recover Monroe County's local match contribution from user fees
and/or special assessments.
For all matching funds forwarded or transferred to the FKAA under this
agreement, the FKAA must establish fiscal control and fund accounting
procedures that comply with generally accepted government accounting
principles, satisfactory to the County's Clerk, in order to assure that the
County matching funds forwarded or transferred to the FKAA are spent for the
purposes set forth in this agreement. All FKAA financial records pertaining to
this agreement must be made available, upon request, to the Clerk, an auditor
employed by the County or the State of Florida. Any matching funds
forwarded or transferred by the County to the FKAA under this agreement that
are determined by the Clerk, an auditor employed by the County or employed
by the State to have been spent on a purpose not contemplated by this
agreement must be paid back to the County with interest calculated pursuant
to Sec. 55.03(1), F.S., from the date the auditor determines the funds were
expended for a purpose not authorized by this agreement. The FKAA agrees to
provide the County Clerk and Administrator with quarterly status reports
concerning the expenditure of County matching funds in sufficient detail to
demonstrate compliance with the provisions of this joint resolution and
interlocal agreement.
ler
2. This amendment will take effect when executed by both parties and filed with the
Clerk of the Circuit Court.
