His presence at Blue <br />Cypress will be sorely missed. Joe Middleton had managed and maintained Blue Cypress <br />Lake Park under an Agreement with the County since 1979. In 2008, his wife Jeanne was <br />added as an additional party to the Agreement since she has assisted in the mair tenance <br />of the park since 1994 and is familiar with every phase of the operation of the park <br />Prior to Mr. Middleton's passing, staff had received a request to extend the Agreement for <br />an additional ten years. The current Agreement between the County and the Mi dletons <br />expires in September 2015. Jeanne Middleton has asked to extend the Agreement term <br />an additional ten years or until September 1, 2025. Staff has no objection to this request. <br />The only other modification to the lease is removal of a tractor from the list of County <br />owned equipment to be maintained by the Middletons. The tractor is no longer needed <br />since the dirt road has been paved with asphalt millings. <br />Funding. There is no direct funding impacted by this extension of the Agreeme t. Mrs. <br />Middleton will continue to clean the restrooms and mow the lawn in exchange for allowing <br />her to operate the small bait shop on site and provide boat rentals to interested pa ies. <br />Recommendation. Staff recommends that the Board authorize the Chairman to sign the <br />attached Fourth Amendment to the Agreement between Indian River County and H. Jean <br />Middleton to provide for the extension of the Agreement until September 1, 2025. <br />Please contact me should you have any questions concerning this matter. <br />
