INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM Assistant County Administrator / Department of General Services DATE: June 4, 2018 TO: The Honorable Board of County Commissioners THRU: Jason Brown, County Administrator Mike Zito; Assistant County Administrator William K. DeBraal, Deputy County Attorney FROM: Beth Powell, IRC Conservation Lands Manager SUBJECT: Third Renewal and Extension of a License Agreement for Security and Caretaker Occupancy of the Ryall Tract of the South Prong Preserve Conservation Area BACKGROUND: The Ryall Tract is the northern parcel of two parcels comprising the South Prong Preserve Conservation Area. The property was acquired in 2006 under the County's Environmental Lands Program, with cost- share- funding from the Florida Communities Trust. The 10.1 acre Ryall Tract is located at 7780 851 Street (CR 510) and is improved with a single-family house and a detached shed. The County renovated the house in 2012 to ready it for occupancy. In 2013, the County entered into a license agreement with an Indian River County Sheriff's Deputy (name withheld due to public records exemption) whereby the Deputy resides on the property and provides a law enforcement presence for security reasons and in exchange, the Deputy maintains the house and property, keeps approximately one acre mowed on the Ryall Tract, and controls Brazilian pepper within the overall Preserve. On August 15, 2017, the BCC approved a Second Renewal and Extension to the 2013 agreement, extending the agreement expiration date to June 18, 2018. The Deputy desires to continue under the License Agreement by extending it one year from the date of expiration of the second Renewal and Extension of License Agreement. Some modifications have been made to the License Agreement to include an annual County inspection of the property, tenant's responsibility for minor repairs, required quarterly herbicide logs by the tenant and County inspections of the overall Preserve for the treatment of Brazilian pepper. FUNDING: There is no direct funding impacted by this Third Renewal and Extension of License Agreement. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board authorize the Chairman to sign the attached Third Renewal and Extension of License Agreement between Indian River County and the Deputy to provide for the extension of the Agreement until June 2019.
