Task Force.
ITEM BACKGROUND: Monroe County submitted a grant application in April for the DOT 2005
Small Community Air Service Development (SCASD) Grant, in the amount of $750,000. The Keys
community and business interests have made cash contributions or pledges totaling $250,000 to create
in total a one million dollar airline revenue fund to offset any potential profit losses of an airline that
agrees to fly into the Florida Keys Marathon Airport. If Monroe County is successful and receives
award of the SCASD grant, the Task Force, will be needed to study and make recommendations to the
Board to address regional community issues that may arise.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: BOCC approved creation of the Florida Keys Airport
task Force at the February 16, 2005 meeting. The Board approved the members of the Task Force to be
comprised of appointees from local government, the five Chambers of Commerce, and hotel
associations. The BOCC will appoint 5 "at large" members to the Task Force. The municipalities may
appoint two members each, one of whom is recommended to be an elected official. The chambers will
appoint one member each, and the hotel associations will each appoint one member.
