3) Approve including an incentive portion of the new management contract that rewards or penalizes the management firm based on bottom line performance rather than on gross revenues;

(c) Whereas the Advisory Committee believes that there is a need to minimize loss of revenue and maintain consistency in leasing the facility, approve establishing a fee structure for both profit and non-profit entities, and, once established, approve adopting an Ordinance that requires a super-majority vote of the Board of County Commissioners to waive or modify any portion of the fee;

C. Take the following action concerning Wetland Mitigation Needs Associated with Forthcoming Road Improvement Projects, with the understanding that, contingent upon availability of funding, Parcel B and any other properties that can be transferred to the State and eliminate the County's maintenance responsibility will be prioritized (C/W Item 8):
