TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Heather Young, Assistant County Attorney
C.A. NO: 10-1214
DATE: September 24, 2010
SUBJECT: Treasure Coast Research Park - Termination of Lease Agreement with Treasure Coast
Agricultural Research Foundation, Inc.
BACKGROUND:
In conjunction with the development of the Treasure Coast Research Park, it will be necessary
for the University of Florida - Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences ("UF-IFAS") to relocate its
Weather Station currently located on a portion of the Research Park identified as the Historic Poor Farm.
In 1949, the County leased the property to the State Board of Education which subsequently assigned the
lease to the Treasure Coast Agricultural Research Foundation, Inc, in 1996. A map indicating the
location of the Weather Station is attached. The cost of relocating the Weather Station will be one
hundred twenty thousand and 00/100 dollars ($120,000.00). These funds have been included in the
budget for the Treasure Coast Research Park Authority for fiscal year 2010/11. As set forth in the
Termination of Lease Agreement attached hereto, the County will disburse the funds to OF-IFAS for
relocation of the Weather Station within thirty (30) days of the date both parties execute the Termination.
The lease will terminate upon completion of the relocation process but in no event more than six (6)
months from the date the funds are received by OF-IFAS.
RECOMMENDATION/CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends the Board of County Commissioners approve the proposed Termination of
Lease Agreement with Treasure Coast Agricultural Research Foundation, Inc. for the remainder of the
Historic Poor Farm, and authorize the Chairman to sign the document.

Reimbursement Agreements (Energy Financing Program)
BACKGROVND:
The County Bond Counsel has recommended that the County validate the
issuance of not exceeding $50,000,000 of special assessment improvement funding and
reimbursement agreements (energy f inancing program). The purpose of the validation,
if authorized, would be to validate the County's ability to proceed with voluntary
special assessments for renewable energy improvements and energy conservation and
efficiency improvements under the PACE legislation which was adopted by the 2010
Florida Legislature, Bond counsel also intends to address the FHFA (Fannie Mae/
Freddie Mac) issues pertaining to PACE in the validation proceeding.
Attached to this memorandum is a copy of Resolution No. 10-259 as prepared
by the County's Bond Counsel. This Resolution would authorize the issuance of not
exceeding $50,000,000 in one or more series of special assessment improvement
funding and reimbursement agreements. The funding and reimbursement agreements
woulod be entered into between the County and a lending entity (such as a bank or the
Solar and Energy Loan Fund of St. Lucie County (SELF)) and would provide for (1) the
establishment of one or more revolving lines of credit with which to pay the costs
associated with energy conservation and efficiency improvements and renewable
energy improvements, (2) the repayment of amounts drawn on the lines from the
proceeds of voluntary special assessments imposed against the real property
benefitted by such improvements, and (3) reimbursement to the County for amounts
advanced in furtherance of the energy financing program. The authorized dollar
