Section 4.01 <br />of the contract provides that the County, if desired, may renew the contract for one year periods up to a <br />maximum of three years. The County has since renewed the contract three times (on July 15, 1997, July 21, <br />1998, and July 20, 1999). The most current agreement extension modified the original contract to "as <br />needed" terms, by specifying no monthly base fee and maximum hours per month of 75 hours (monthly fee <br />not to exceed 75 hours x $85 = $6,375). <br />Staff is now requesting that the Board renew the contract with FloridAffnity, Inc., for an additional one year <br />period, under the most current agreement terms, to allow for continuing professional services assistance for <br />the County Environmental Lands Program. <br />Since the County originally contracted with FloridAffnity in August 1994, the County has succeeded in <br />•acquiring (or obtaining approved purchase contracts for) 18 environmental properties (-7,000 acres, <br />including the —5,361 acre Carson Platt estate property). Moreover, in each of those acquisitions, the County <br />has secured cost -share funds from other agencies, totaling more than $18 million in matching funds. <br />SEPTElYIB�o�t�9�20�Q 4 <br />�K G / <br />-12- <br />
