Recommendation
It is requested the Board of County Commissioners authorize the Department of the Air Force (Air Force) to conduct environmental testing at the Port St. John Boat Ramp and to approve and authorize the Chair to execute the Resolution and Lease with the Air Force at the location for installation of weather monitoring equipment. Since this Lease is of nominal value, a majority plus 1 vote is required.

Summary Explanation and Background:
The Air Force reached out to Parks and Recreation requesting access and use of a portion of land at the Port St. John Boat Ramp for installation of weather monitoring equipment. Staff determined the Air Force's proposed location is not currently utilized by Parks and Recreation. The term of the Lease is for 1 year beginning February 1, 2023 with nine 1-year renewal options. In the event the property is not used or ceases to be used for the purpose stated in the Lease, the Lease term shall immediately cease.
The Lease is proposed to be at no cost to the Air Force other than the protection, care, and maintenance of the property. On or before the expiration or termination of the Lease, the Air Force will remove all of its property and restore the leased land to good order and condition.
Brevard County Code of Ordinances, Chapter 2, Section 2-241 through Section 2-251, establishes procedures for the sale, leasing, and donation of real property. It required the intent and County Code to be published on the County Internet Website at least 5 days prior to the public meeting and also requires a majority plus 1 vote of the Board.
