BACKGROUND: In June 2015, the Board approved a Memorandum of Understanding establishing a Public-Public Partnership to reduce the amount of funding necessary for the Air Force to dispose of waste concrete and reduce Okaloosa County’s costs associated with obtaining material for the artificial reef program. This program is now known as the "Concrete to Reefs Initiative" and has become an important part of Eglin's Community Partnership Initiative and the Tri-County Community Partnership Initiative. This license grants the County approximately five acres of property located on Eglin AFB to store concrete material in support of the concrete-to-reef partnership initiative for a term of five years. The original copy of Exhibit D is already on file with Eglin AFB officials. This license is not considered a contract requiring a TDC recommendation. OPTIONS: Approve or Deny RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the Chairman to sign Department of the Air Force License #USAF-AFMC-FTFA-17-2-0145 for the purpose of storing concrete material in support of the concrete-to-reef partnership initiative. RECOMMENDED BY: APPROVED BY: John Hofstad, County Administrator
