Date: To: Honorable Chairman Joe A. Martinez and Members, Board of County Commissioners From: Carlos A. Gimenez Mayor Subject: Resolution Accepting �Assignment of Option to Purchase� Approximately 9.73 Acres of South Dade Wetlands Project within the Environmentally Endangered Lands Program Acquisition Site with The Nature Conservancy as Assignor, Miami-Dade County as Assignee and Armando and Maria Mendez and Juan D. and Silvia Gonzalez as Sellers for a Purchase Price of $30,000 STAFF RECOMMENDATION Recommendation It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners approve the attached resolution accepting the �Assignment of Option to Purchase� as negotiated by The Nature Conservancy for the Environmentally Endangered Lands (EEL) Program. Scope The EEL Program is countywide in nature. This acquisition is located in Commissioner Moss� District 9. Fiscal Impact/Funding Source The EEL Trust Fund will be used for the purchase. The purchase price is $30,000 and the appraised value is $48,650. As of August 31, 2011, the balance of the EEL Trust Fund GF080 (Subfund 081, Project Numbers 081005, 081006, 081007 and 081008) is $54,366,271 of which $25,471,930 is reserved for acquisition and $28,894,341 is reserved for land management. Track Record/Monitor The EEL Program Manager in the Department of Permitting, Environment and Regulatory Affairs (PERA) will monitor this contract. MANAGER'S BACKGROUND Background The historic loss, fragmentation and degradation of native wetland and forest communities in Miami-Dade County are well recognized. In May of 1990, with the knowledge that remaining wetland and forest communities were endangered, the electorate of Miami-Dade County authorized the County to levy an ad valorem tax for two years to create the EEL Program and Trust Fund. The purpose of the EEL program is to acquire, preserve, enhance, restore, conserve and maintain environmentally-endangered lands for the benefit of present and future generations. The County Commission placed the South Dade Wetlands on the EEL Priority A Acquisition List in 1993. To date, the County, in partnership with the South Florida Water Management District, the State of Florida, and other funding partners, has acquired approximately 21,181 acres of land throughout Miami-Dade County since inception of the EEL Program. The parcel proposed for acquisition is located within the South Dade Wetlands EEL Project, an important wetland system in the southern part of the County. Land in this area is targeted for acquisition because of its strategic location between two national parks (Everglades National Park and Biscayne National Park) within the watersheds of Florida Bay, Biscayne Bay, Card Sound and Barnes Sound. Preserving and maintaining these wetlands is important for protecting against salt water intrusion of the Biscayne Aquifer and because of the importance of the region to endangered and threatened species. This acquisition will add to adjacent conservation land and will facilitate the management of other County-owned land in the area. The attached Assignment of Option to Purchase is for the following parcel: SELLER: Armando and Maria Mendez and Juan D. and Silvia Gonzalez SIZE: Approximately 9.73 acres FOLIO: 30-8913-000-0080 LOCATION: South of theoretical SW 408 Street, west of theoretical SW 127 Avenue with unpaved road access in the South Dade Wetlands Project, outside of the UDB (See Attachment A) PURCHASE PRICE: $30,000 APPRAISAL DATA: $48,650 (appraised April 25, 2011) SALES HISTORY: March 1999 � Warranty Deed from Earl M.
