fenced yard area with no rent or lease payments to the County. In return, Sgt. Fojtik provides services to <br /> ,"NW the County at no cost to the County. Those services include: <br /> • Providing security for the property. This includes parking a Sheriff's office vehicle <br /> (marked or unmarked) on the site. <br /> • Providing security for public safety (sheriff or fire district)boats moored at the pier. <br /> • Maintaining the(approximately 2 acre)yard area surrounding the main house. <br /> • Periodically bush hogging the back 14 acres of the site (i.e., perimeter mowing and <br /> undertaking invasive plant treatment/eradication). <br /> • Maintaining the residence. <br /> Staff's finding is that Sgt. Fojtik has done a competent job in carrying out the listed services since moving <br /> onto the premises. He has also been willing and available to work with groups such as the Indian River <br /> County Historical Society(IRCHS) and with county staff in managing and securing the site. <br /> As part of the FCT cost-share acquisition grant, the County recorded a Declaration of Restricted <br /> Covenants for the Jones's Pier property. That declaration of covenants obligates the County to provide <br /> public access to the Jones's Pier property and to conduct at least twelve public educational program <br /> activities at the site each year. As such, the license agreement accounts for allowed public access to the <br /> site in areas other than the main residence, detached garage, and immediate surrounding yard area. FCT <br /> staff has reviewed and approved the agreement as being in compliance with the FCT Restrictive <br /> Covenants. <br /> Over the past year, groups from the Environmental Learning Center (ELC) and IRCHS have visited the <br /> site. County staff is working with the IRCHS on the concept of opening the guest cottage as a visitor <br /> center with information displays in the coming year. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: <br /> Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the attached 1St Amendment to the <br /> License Agreement, renewing the Agreement for an additional one year term, and authorize the Board <br /> Chairman to sign the Amendment on behalf of the County. <br /> ATTACHMENT: <br /> 1. 1St Amendment to License Agreement <br /> 2.
