STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners adopt the attached resolution approving a quantitative evaluation form to be used in evaluating Natural Forest Community sites, pursuant to Section 24-5 of the Code of Miami-Dade County (Code), and to be used in evaluating Environmentally Endangered Lands Covenant Program sites.

MANAGER'S BACKGROUND
Background
In accordance with Section 24-5 of the Code, as referenced under �Natural forest community,� a quantitative evaluation form was developed for use in evaluating proposed Natural Forest Community sites and also used in evaluating proposed Environmentally Endangered Lands Covenant Program sites. Section 24-5 allows for the form to be revised from time to time as appropriate, with such revisions to be reviewed and approved by the Tree and Forest Resources Committee. However, the Tree and Forest Resources Committee was sunsetted in 1993. Therefore, the revised form is submitted for review and approval by the Board of County Commissioners.
The proposed form (Attachment A) has been revised for improved consistency with the applicable evaluation factors under Section 24-5 of the Code. It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners approve the proposed quantitative evaluation form to replace the existing form.
