Improvement Trust Fund (Trustees) and subleased to the Department of Natural Resources who have management responsibility. The Department of Natural Resources wishes to sublease these parcels to Indian River County for the purposes of development and management. The subleases would_ run for the same term as the main lease from the Trustees t DNR, i.e., 50 years from April 16, 1985 for the North Beads Complex, and 50 years from June 18, 1987 on the No. 11 Corporation Park sublease. The Indian River North Beach sublease agreement has been modified to include a paragraph 1.C. which allows DNR to sublease additional property to Indian River County by amendment to the agreement when such lands are acquired by the Trustees and leased to DNR for that purpose. This provision has been utilized by DNR to add the "Howell -Chapman" tract to the Indian River North Beach sublease agreement. Presently the tracts involved in the Indian River North Beach sublease agreement include the Morris tract, the Perlini tract, the Howell -Chapman tract, and the West Erdo tract. By entering into the sublease agreement, Indian'River County is agreeing to prepare a final management plan for these beach areas, which plan must be submitted to DNR for approval within 12 months of the execution date of the sublease agreement. The development plan must identify the phases of development and must comply with the statutory requirements and administrative rules for park development and management plans as promulgated by the Department of Natural Resources. The sublease agreements have been modified by DNR at the request of the County. Originally all development at the subleased park sites was to have been accomplished within five years. Since the County had not budgeted sufficient funds to accomplish full scale development within the five year period, we negotiated a lease modification so that the lease as it now stands allows the County to develop the parks in phases. Phase I which must be developed within five years of the execution of the lease would require the County to provide, at a minimum, parking, walkway and water access pfacli�l i tiesceSto suppo Lina t reasonable proportion of the sites optimum carrying capacity. The County would also be required to include the additional phases necessary to fully implement the state approved final management plan within our capital improvement plans. The necessary funding to accomplish the Phase I improvements which are required under the sublease agreements have been provided for in the Indian River County Park, and Recreation User Fee and Revenue Study which the Board reviewed recently. (See page 47 of that study.) RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. The Boardby motion authorize the Chairman to execute the sublease agreements for the Indian River North Beach Complex and for No. 11 Corporation Park. 2. The Board authorize by motion the Director of Public Works to go out for bid for a consultant to develop the final management plan necessary to comply with the DNR sublease agreement. Prior to selection of a consultant to prepare the final management plan for these parks, the Public Works Director will return to the. Board for authorization of the contract.
