N/A
At March HAPB, Museum Director (Ms. Townsend) reported there is no real
movement, but had a conversation with with County Attorney. She says they
would consider a quit claim to transfer the property and that the County owns
Plot B and are trying to get ownership of Plots W and N. At April HAPB, it
has been determined that County Attorney is comfortable moving forward with
a quit claim deed. Museum Director stated their next task is to create a
business plan for the County Manager's review. At May HAPB, Museum
Director reported the existence of a cemetery now largely developed and
under private ownership. The County owns Unit B (Plot W) and is trying to
obtain title to Units W and N. The last historical record was a survey
conducted in 1966. At August HAPB, this item was continued to the next
meeting. At September HAPB, Ms. Townsend reported they are moving
forward with building a case for the acquisition of the property and discussed
funding for property surveys, fencing, and repair of headstones.

N/A
In March, The HAPB indicated that this site is a good example of why an
interlocal agreement would be helpful. Chair stated they are attempting to
organize what they can do with the status. It is a burial ground which has had
many disturbances. There is a lot of activity and it is getting bigger. The
damage is done and now they need to decide how to proceed with
preservation. Will attempt to have conversations with nonprofits about how to
preserve it. At April HAPB, Mr. Erjavec noted why the site is of historic
significance. Mr. Bellows suggested to contact the City to see what can be
done from a growth management standpoint. Mr. Erjavec agreed to do this
and suggested the Board pursue it at next HAPB. At May HAPB, Chairman
Erjavec provided an update, noting a 2,000 year old burial site as well as
other sites with historic relics. HAPB will wait on City of Marco Island's
response to the agreement letter before pursuing preservation. At August
HAPB, Mr. Erjavec noted he visited the site with representatives of Audubon
of the Western Everglades. He remarked that City of Marco Island has
recognized the need to preserve the area. At September HAPB, Mr. Erjavec
noted the site has been proposed for acquistion through the Conservation
Collier program.
