|
| 3 | Amendment (with title amendment) |
| 4 | Between lines 120 and 121, insert: |
| 5 | Section 3. Paragraph (c) is added to subsection (5) of |
| 6 | section 259.034, Florida Statutes, to read: |
| 7 | 253.034 State-owned lands; uses.-- |
| 8 | (5) Each manager of conservation lands shall submit to the |
| 9 | Division of State Lands a land management plan at least every 10 |
| 10 | years in a form and manner prescribed by rule by the board and |
| 11 | in accordance with the provisions of s. 259.032. Each manager of |
| 12 | conservation lands shall also update a land management plan |
| 13 | whenever the manager proposes to add new facilities or make |
| 14 | substantive land use or management changes that were not |
| 15 | addressed in the approved plan, or within 1 year of the addition |
| 16 | of significant new lands. Each manager of nonconservation lands |
| 17 | shall submit to the Division of State Lands a land use plan at |
| 18 | least every 10 years in a form and manner prescribed by rule by |
| 19 | the board. The division shall review each plan for compliance |
| 20 | with the requirements of this subsection and the requirements of |
| 21 | the rules established by the board pursuant to this section. All |
| 22 | land use plans, whether for single-use or multiple-use |
| 23 | properties, shall include an analysis of the property to |
| 24 | determine if any significant natural or cultural resources are |
| 25 | located on the property. Such resources include archaeological |
| 26 | and historic sites, state and federally listed plant and animal |
| 27 | species, and imperiled natural communities and unique natural |
| 28 | features. If such resources occur on the property, the manager |
| 29 | shall consult with the Division of State Lands and other |
| 30 | appropriate agencies to develop management strategies to protect |
| 31 | such resources. Land use plans shall also provide for the |
| 32 | control of invasive nonnative plants and conservation of soil |
| 33 | and water resources, including a description of how the manager |
| 34 | plans to control and prevent soil erosion and soil or water |
| 35 | contamination. Land use plans submitted by a manager shall |
| 36 | include reference to appropriate statutory authority for such |
| 37 | use or uses and shall conform to the appropriate policies and |
| 38 | guidelines of the state land management plan. Plans for managed |
| 39 | areas larger than 1,000 acres shall contain an analysis of the |
| 40 | multiple-use potential of the property, which analysis shall |
| 41 | include the potential of the property to generate revenues to |
| 42 | enhance the management of the property. Additionally, the plan |
| 43 | shall contain an analysis of the potential use of private land |
| 44 | managers to facilitate the restoration or management of these |
| 45 | lands. In those cases where a newly acquired property has a |
| 46 | valid conservation plan that was developed by a soil and |
| 47 | conservation district, such plan shall be used to guide |
| 48 | management of the property until a formal land use plan is |
| 49 | completed. |
| 50 | (c) Beginning July 1, 2010, and every 3 years thereafter, |
| 51 | state-owned lands with an approved land management plan shall be |
| 52 | monitored for land management activities by a monitoring team. |
| 53 | The Division of State Lands shall coordinate the activities of |
| 54 | the monitoring team, which shall consist of three members. One |
| 55 | member shall be selected by the Executive Director of the Fish |
| 56 | and Wildlife Conservation Commission or a designee, and shall |
| 57 | have experience with applied habitat management. One member |
| 58 | shall be selected by the Secretary of the Department of |
| 59 | Environmental Protection or a designee, and shall have |
| 60 | experience with public recreation or use administration. One |
| 61 | member shall be selected by the Commissioner of Agriculture or a |
| 62 | designee, and shall have experience with applied land |
| 63 | management. The Division of State Lands shall provide the |
| 64 | monitoring team with the operational report prepared pursuant to |
| 65 | s. 259.037(6). The monitoring team shall prepare a monitoring |
| 66 | report that assesses the progress towards achieving short-term |
| 67 | and long-term land management goals, as identified in the |
| 68 | operational report, and shall propose corrective actions for |
| 69 | identified deficiencies in management activities. The monitoring |
| 70 | report shall be submitted to the Acquisition and Restoration |
| 71 | Council and the managing agency. The Acquisition and Restoration |
| 72 | Council shall review the monitoring report and determine whether |
| 73 | the deficiencies warrant a corrective action plan or revisions |
| 74 | to the management plan. Significant and recurring deficiencies |
| 75 | shall be brought to the Board of Trustees, which shall determine |
| 76 | whether the corrective actions being proposed by the land |
| 77 | manager and the Acquisition and Restoration Council sufficiently |
| 78 | address the deficiencies. Corrective actions plans shall be |
| 79 | prepared and submitted in the same manner as land management |
| 80 | plans. |
| 81 | Section 4. Subsection (6) is added to section 259.037, |
| 82 | Florida Statutes, to read: |
| 83 | 259.037 Land Management Uniform Accounting Council.-- |
| 84 | (6) Beginning July 1, 2010, and every 3 years thereafter, |
| 85 | each reporting agency shall also submit an operational report |
| 86 | for each management area along with an approved management plan. |
| 87 | The report should assess the progress toward achieving short- |
| 88 | term and long-term management goals of the approved management |
| 89 | plan, including all land management activities, and identify any |
| 90 | deficiencies in management and corrective actions to address |
| 91 | identified deficiencies as appropriate. This report shall be |
| 92 | submitted to the Division of State Lands for inclusion in its |
| 93 | annual report required pursuant to s. 259.036. |
