EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation (1) to adopt a Resolution which formally accepts the improvements built
by the Marco Island Historical Society which now comprise the Marco Island Museum
Complex, including the Rose History Auditorium, and authorizes the leasing of the Rose
History Auditorium back to the Marco Island Historical Society; and (2) to approve both a
Memorandum of Understanding and a Long-Term Lease with the Marco Island Historical
Society with respect to the new Marco Island Historical Museum.
OBJECTIVE: To obtain the Board of County Commissioners (Board's) adoption of a
resolution and approval of two related agreements with the Marco Island Historical Society, Inc.
("MIHS").
CONSIDERA TIONS: Collier County entered into a Marco Island Museum License Agreement
with MIHS on May 13, 2003 (amended July 25, 2006), which authorized MIHS to raise funds
for the construction of an historical museum for public use on County property. MIHS has
completed construction of the museum at 180 South Heathwood Drive and fulfilled its
obligations under the License Agreement.
The purpose of the resolution is for the Board to formally accept the improvements made by
MIHS which now comprise the Marco Island Museum complex, and to authorize the leasing of
the Rose History Auditorium back to the MIHS.
The purpose of the proposed Memorandum of Understanding is to establish the roles of the
County and MIHS in the future funding, staffing, operation and maintenance of the new Marco
Island Historical Museum, including the running of the gift shop by MIHS.
The Lease provides for two separate and distinct uses of the Rose History Auditorium. The first
approved use authorizes MIHS to operate the building for the benefit of the Museum. The
second approved use authorizes MIHS to utilize the building as a community center, which will
include MIHS' own functions and ability to rent the Auditorium for private events. The
County's Board-approved Standard Form Not-For-Profit Long-Term Lease was used as the form
ofthis Lease.
Because of this dual purpose, the Standard Form Lease Agreement was modified with respect to
the term of the agreement. To meet the need of the Auditorium to support the Museum, instead
of the standard 30-year term, the Lease is structured to continue automatically on a year-to-year
basis for so long as the main facility is operated as a museum. Since the other purpose of the
Lease is to operate the facility as a community center, should the main facility cease to operate as
a museum, MIHS has the right to partition the property to create a separate parcel for the Rose
History Auditoriunl. This right is contingent upon MIHS paying the then property owner the
pro-rata portion of the assessed value of the entire tract. Should a partition or purchase be
impractical or impossible, MIHS would have the right to extend this Lease for an additional tenn
of 30 years and then operate the premises solely as a community center.

annum rent to the County and for MIHS to pay all costs, fees and charges concerning the
premIses.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: Both proposed agreements are legally sufficient for Board
action. - JAK.

Inc.
