Public Works Director Jim Davis explained that the above <br />parcels have been purchased by the state and are located close to <br />Treasure Shores Park. The County has been working with federal and <br />state government agencies on cooperative lease agreements for the <br />parcels with the intent of making them part of the Archie Carr Sea <br />Turtle Refuge. Since the County has been restricted from further <br />development of Treasure Shores Park due to the presence of the <br />southeastern beach mouse, it might be possible for the County to <br />open these parcels for recreation on a limited basis in the future, <br />provided the sea turtle nesting habitat along the shoreline is <br />adequately protected. <br />Commissioner Eggert asked if the Florida Department of Natural <br />Resources is willing to put that in writing. <br />Director Davis explained that it was placed on record at the <br />Parks and Recreation Committee meeting, although he does not have <br />formal correspondence to that effect. He felt that this was the <br />best option for the County under the present circumstances. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, seconded by <br />Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously (4-0, <br />Commissioner Bird being absent) agreed to execute <br />interim lease agreements whereby the County and the <br />United States Fish and Wildlife Service will enter <br />into joint management of state-owned sites, as set <br />forth in the above staff memorandum. <br />LEASE AGREEMENTS ARE <br />ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD <br />41 <br />MAR ® 2 1993 BOOK FAGE�9 <br />
