MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT AMONG THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND THE NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION, ACTING THROUGH THE TRUSTEE COUNCIL FOR THE AUGUST 8, 2000, MYSTERY SPILL AT FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA I. Purpose. This Memorandum of Agreement ("MOA") is entered into by and among the City of Dania Beach ("City"), and the undersigned Trustee Council, acting on behalf of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Emergency Response ("FDEP") and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ("NOAA") to govern the implementation of a • restoration project selected by FDEP and NOAA (the "Trustees") to address the Recreational Beach Use Injury to and loss of beach use caused by the August 8, 2000, mystery oil spill near Fort Lauderdale, Florida (the "Incident"). This restoration project is among nine (9) projects selected by the Trustees to restore natural resources, services or both identified in the Final Damage Assessment and Restoration Plan/Environmental Assessment for the Fort Lauderdale Mystery Oil Spill (Final Restoration Plan-Attachment A) published by the Trustees on August 26, 2002. The restoration projects identified in that plan are to be implemented using funds that the Trustees accepted on December 17, 2003 from the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund (OSLTF), pursuant to a claim filed under 33 U.S.C. § 2712(a)(4). These funds were placed in NOAA's Damage Assessment and Restoration Revolving Fund (DARRF) and are to be used only to implement the restoration projects selected in the Final Restoration Plan. A separate Restoration Account for the City of Dania Beach Chickee Shade Structures (Restoration Account) will be established for this project. This MOA identifies the terms and conditions under which the City will construct the Chickee shade structures and under which the Trustees, acting through the undersigned Trustee Council, will authorize transfers of funds from the DARRF to the City for costs and expenses the City will incur to implement this restoration project. II. Authorities. The City enters into this MOA pursuant to the designation by the Governor of Florida of the City Manager to act on behalf of the City as a limited trustee for natural resources affected by the Incident. This designation is solely for the purpose of implementing the construction of shade structures in the Restoration Plan that is within its jurisdiction (Letter from Florida Governor Jeb Bush to EPA Administrator Mike Leavitt, dated May 18, 2004). Trustees/City of Dania Beach Chickee Shade Area Project MOA —Page • The Trustee Council enters into this MOA on behalf of the Trustees pursuant to the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (`OPA"), 33 U.S.C. 2701 et seq., the Natural Resource Damage Assessment Regulations, at 15 CFR Part 990, applicable to restoration planning under 0PA., and other applicable federal and state laws, in order to implement restoration actions that have been approved by the Trustees. The Trustee Council executes this MOA pursuant to a Memorandum of Understanding of March 1, 2004, between the Trustees that established the Trustee Council to plan for and implement restoration actions appropriate to compensate for the natural resources and/or services injured by the Incident, in accordance with the Final Restoration Plan, and to administer the funds recovered for the restoration of natural resources, services or both injured as a result of the Incident. III. Implementation of Restoration Project 1. The City will implement the following Restoration Project, in accordance with the provisions of this MOA: Construction of seven (7) Chickee structures for shade protection on the beach of the City of Dania Beach. The Chickees are to be constructed consistent with the project features and description in the Scope-of-Work dated September 5, 2002 from Captain Glenn Morris, City of Dania Beach, to Mr. Tony Penn, NOAA, which is attached and incorporated as Attachment C AND the revised Scope-of- Work dated May 19, 2004 from Captain Glenn Morris, City of Dania Beach, to Mr. Tom Moore, NOAA, which is attached and incorporated as Attachment D. (City estimated cost to implement: $16,800). 2. The City will be solely responsible for arranging for, scheduling, and coordinating the work of its employees, agents, contractors, or subcontractors involved in implementing the Restoration Project, including any necessary coordination with the Trustee Council under this MOA. 3. Where the City seeks to use outside contractors to implement any or all of the Restoration Project, the City will use its standard practices and procedures, including those applicable to obtaining and reviewing competitive bids from properly licensed, insured, and bonded contractors, to ensure contractor costs incurred to perform work are reasonable. The Trustee Council will have the opportunity to review recommended bids prior to acceptance and to participate in pre-implementation meetings with the contractors. 4. The City will ensure that any necessary construction permits or other permits are obtained, that any employee or contractor used has all appropriate licenses required to perform intended work, and that all work performed in implementing the Restoration Project is otherwise carried out in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations, including conditions required to protect natural resources. 5. Approved work plans may be modified by the City with approval by the Trustee Council. Trustees/City of Dania Beach Chickee Shade Area Project MOA —Page 3 • 6. The Trustee Council shall provide for public notice and comment for any necessary, significant modification of the Restoration Project. if the Restoration Project is modified significantly, as determined by the Trustee Council, notice shall be provided to the OSLTF. 7. The structures that result from the Restoration Project will include a stalernent that acknowledges the Restoration Project and that it was implemented in whole or in part, as appropriate, with natural resource damages recovered by FDEP and NOAA for natural resources and services injured as a result of the incident. IV. Oversight by Trustee Council 1. The Trustee Council will oversee the activities of the City in implementing the Restoration Project to ensure consistency with the Restoration Plan and that funds used to implement restoration are otherwise lawfully applied. 2. To provide for that oversight, the City will, at a minimum, except as otherwise agreed by the Trustee Council: i. Provide the Trustee Council with at least 20 business days to review, • comment on, and approve any written work plans or modifications to them that the City proposed for details of the project, including the budget or estimated costs of any work; ii. Upon request, meet with the Trustee Council to discuss any issues related to the details of implementation of project costs; Ili. Within 60 days of the completion of the project, the City will provide the following. 1. Final cost accounting as defined in Paragraph V.5. 2. A request for additional reimbursement or an acknowledgment of credit as defined in Paragraph V.5. 3. A final report that details the following: a. Number of Chickee Shade Areas Constructed b. Location of Shade Areas c. Pictures of Shade Areas 3. City agrees to transmit a minimum of three (3) copies of any document required • to be submitted to the Lead Administrative Trustee (NOAA) for review by the Trustee Council under this MOA. Trustees/City of Dania Beach Chickee Shade Area Project MOA —Page 4 4. The Trustee Council will have access to and may inspect the Restoration Project actions or the work being performed on it at any time during the period of this MOA. 5. Within 30 business days following receipt of the City's final report under Paragraph IV.2.111 above and, upon finding implementation is complete and in accordance with approved project plan(s) the Trustee Council will provide written notice to the City certifying Completion of the Restoration Project. V. Funding 1. Any use of funds in the Restoration Account must be authorized by the Trustee Council. The funds comprising the Restoration Account must be used only to implement the Restoration Project that is the subject of this MOA. This project was selected for implementation in the Final Restoration Plan developed for this Incident under OPA, and, in accordance with 33 U.S.C. 2706(o, the Restoration Account can be used only for the actual costs and expenses to implement this project. 2. The Trustee Council agrees to authorize the transfer to City of up to $ 18,000.00 from the Restoration Account to implement the Restoration Project, subject to the terms of this MOA. 3. The Restoration Project will be funded using a combination of partial upfront funding and reimbursables, up to the maximum amount identified in Paragraph V.2. 4. For the Restoration Project the funding schedule will be as follows: i. Within 30 days of the execution of this MOA, the Trustee Council will authorize the transfer to the City an amount of $16,800.00 as identified in Attachment D as the contractor's actual cost to construct the Chickee Shade Areas. ii. Within 60 days of the completion of the project the City may submit a request for reimbursement to the Trustee Council for up to $1,200.00 of the remaining eligible funds for the project. The final amount of this transfer will be identified by the Trustee Council after review of the documentation as to the City's actual costs and expenses incurred to that date. Any credits held by the City must be returned to the Trustee Council before the Restoration Project can be certified as complete pursuant to Paragraph IV.5 of this MOA. Once the Trustee Council receives and approves the final cost accounting and the deliverables of Paragraph IV.2.111 the project will be certified complete and the Trustee Council will authorize the transfer of the above funds within 30 • days. Trustees/City of Dania Beach Chickee Shade Area Project MOA —Page S 5. For the final reimbursement (if any) as identified in Subsection ii of Paragraph VA., the City will initiate the process for reimbursement by submitting three (3) copies of a written request for reimbursement to the Lead Administrative Trustee (NOAA). The request will be accompanied by all required deliverables of Attachment C, Paragraph IV.2.1ii and documentation of all costs and expenses for all funds received and for all costs for which reimbursement is being sought. The reporting shall be in a form that is consistent with generally accepted business and accounting practices. The Trustee Council will review each request and accompanying documentation submitted by the City and, if it finds all submitted costs and expenses to be consistent with the approved project plans and appropriately documented in accordance with "Excerpts from National Pollution Fund Center Funding Guidelines" (Attachment B), the Trustee Council will direct the Manager of the DARRF to transfer funds from the Restoration Account in an amount sufficient to reimburse the City for its actual costs and expenses as requested, up to the limits as appropriate in Paragraphs V.2 and 4. If the Trustee Council finds a submitted cost or expense is inconsistent with the approved project plans or is not appropriately documented, the Trustee Council will notify the City and allow the City 30 business days to clarify or supplement its request for reimbursement of that cost or expense. In the interim, the Trustee Council will direct the Manager of the DARRF to transfer funds from the Restoration Account in an amount sufficient to reimburse the City for accepted costs and expenses. 6. Whenever the Trustee Council notifies the City that a submitted cost or expense • has been found to be inconsistent with the approved project plan or is not appropriately documented, the Trustee Council and the City will make good faith efforts to resolve the issue associated with that expenditure. However, the Trustee Council retains sole and final authority to decide consistency with the approved project plan, the sufficiency of the documentation provided, and the Trustee Council's determination in that regard will be non-appealable. 7. All reimbursement requests and actions under Paragraphs VA and V.5 are subject to the maximum funding levels identified in Paragraph V.2. 8. The manner and timing of disbursements from the Restoration Account are subject to schedules, procedures, and requirements applicable to funds held within the DARRF. 9. The Trustee Council will not allow the City to use any provided funds or request funds for reimbursement of any costs it incurs to implement any work or activity that is inconsistent with the Restoration Plan or with the laws governing use of the recovered damages. Whenever, in reviewing the Restoration Project itself or documents submitted by the City, the Trustee Council finds any work or activity proposed to implement the Restoration Project is inconsistent with the Restoration Plan or the laws governing the use of the recovered damages, the Trustee Council will notify the City in writing and either request that work or activity be eliminated from the plan or seek changes that will avoid or eliminate the conflict with the Restoration Plan or the laws governing use of the recovered damages. The City may elect to retain the work or activity as originally proposed, but only as a non-approved project element, • the cost of which will not be subject to reimbursement under this MOA. The Trustee Council retains whole and final authority to decide whether any work or activity is inconsistent with the TrusteeslCity of Dania Beach Chickee Shade Area Project MOA —Page 6 Restoration Plan or'with the laws governing use of the recovered damages and the Trustee Council's determination in that regard. 10. Pursuant to 33 U.S.C. § 2706(f), all sums not used to implement the Restoration Project must be returned to the OSLTF. Therefore, the City will return, refund, or repay to the Restoration Account any sum that the Trustee Council determines to represent: (1) an overpayment to the City; (ii) a reimbursement of a cost or expense not incurred in connection with a Restoration Project identified in this MOA; or (iii) a cost or expense that was not incurred in accordance with the terms of this MOA. Such return, refund, or repayment will be made within 30 calendar days after the Trustee Council requests the return of an identified sum in writing. Any funds so returned will include any interest that may have been earned on that amount since the date of receipt by the City. 11. The City's anticipated future costs and expenses to maintain and manage the Restoration Project following completion are not subject to reimbursement under this MOA. VI. Notices l. Documents, comments, or other communications between the City and the Trustee Council under the terms of or respecting matters covered by this MOA will be provided to.

Work unit. Identify costs according to the unit of work for each item. For contracts, that unit of work is established by the contract line item(CLIN). For time and material based contracts, the unit of work is normally hours, and the delivered work product is the number of hours per day. c. Work cost. Show the cost of each unit of each item of work per day(or other time period set in the controlling agreement for that item)and the extended total cost, e.g., eight hours supervisor services per day at$50 per hour times 7 days (specifically identified by date) equals $2800 total cost. 4.

Alffik s • FLORIDA ufa Captain Glenn Morris Dania Beach Marine Rescue Division 100 West Dania Beach Blvd, Dania Beach Fl. 33004 September 5,2002 Tony Penn National Oceanic&Atmospheric Admin. Damage Assessment Center Dear Sir: Under the Recreational Beach use Injury and restoration plan,it is my understanding that a description of the City of Dania Beaches Chickee restoration plan is needed. The City has integrated the chickees with the Beach for shade protection for a number of years.We have found the Chickees to be very cost effective, due to the very nature of their construction. The Chickees are built by Seminole Indians that use a thatching technique that goes back hundreds of years. This technique in construction of the Chickees makes them highly wind tolerant and a great source for shade on the Beach. An attached picture is included for your perusal. When the $ 18,000 grant funds are received the project will go out for competitive bidding to build 15 Chickees (or as price allows) and the contractor wilt be selected. Upon selection the contractor is required to integrate best management practices, and obtain all local state and federal permits required. Additionally a project manager is assigned to ensure the project is going according to plans, I will be that person. Monitoring is an essential component of any restoration project, however in this case it is simplistic in nature. Digital photos will be taken in the beginning, half way through, and upon completion. Brief written documentation will be included in the project portfolio, along with copies of the invoices and Payment receipts- The City will maintain the Chickees built, in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations. We are looking forward to beginning this project with you and thank you for your assistance. in ery, lenn W.

Morris Dania Beach Marine Rescue Division 100 West Dania Beach Blvd. Dania Beach, FI 33004 May 19, 2004 Tom Moore NOAA Restoration Center Dear Tom: When the original proposal was submitted with Tony Penn, the Chickee part of the proposal was for fifteen Chickees at $1,200 each. A company that was doing work for us at the time gave this quote, however the company is not in existence anymore. Additionally in my conversations with Tony Penn I had thought the money would rcome shortly there after. When I found out the money wasn't available until the following year or later, I immediately secured another quote which showed the same Chickees would cost more than three-thousand dollars each. Knowing the maximum cost I had to work with, I simply divided $18,000 / $ 3,000 = Six Chickees. The last quote you received and is attached stated that this company could build seven Chickees for the same price, so seven it is. I have submitted in the 2006 Fiscal Budget, money to build nine more Chickees fully funded by the City. Additionally you have our agreement to maintain those seven Chickees that would be built with your funds. Please let me know if more is needed on our part, as this grant money is very important to reconstructing our Beach area previous to the oil spill. Sincerely, Glenn W.

The Trustee Council recognizes that costs originally predicted in 2001 are no longer valid today for a variety of reasons and therefore approves your request to reduce the number of Chikee's constricted from fifteen (15) to seven (7). The Trustee Council is in the final stages of preparing a draft Memorandum of Agreement for your review and we expect to transfer that to you in the next few weeks.

Damage Assessment Center Dear Sir: Under the Recreational Beach use Injury and restoration plan, it is my understanding that a description •- of the City of Dania Beaches Chickee restoration plan is needed. The City has integrated the chickees with the Beach for shade protection for a number of years.We have found the chickees to be very cost effective, due to the very nature of their construction. The chickees are built by Seminole Indians that use a thatching technique that goes back hundreds of years. This technique in construction of the Chickees makes them highly wind tolerant and a great source for shade on the Beach. When the $ 16,800, grant funds are received the project will go out for competitive bidding to build seven (7) Chickees and the contractor will be selected. Upon selection the contractor is required to integrate best management practices, and obtain all local state and federal permits required. Additionally a project manager is assigned to ensure the project is going according to plans, I will be that person. Monitoring is an essential component of any restoration project, however in this case it is simplistic in nature. Digital photos will be taken in the beginning, half way through, and upon completion. Brief written documentation will be included in the project portfolio, along with copies of the invoices and Payment receipts. The City will maintain the Chickees built, in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations. We are looking forward to beginning this project with you and thank you for your assistance. .Sincerely, Glenn W. Morris Captain Dania Marine Rescue Division
