Board of County Commissioners
RESOLUTION NO. 589 -2002
A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF
MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA REQUESTING THAT MONROE COUNTY'S
STATE LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION REMOVE FROM THE LEGISLATION
ESTABLISHING THE FLORIDA KEYS AQUEDUCT AUTHORITY AND THE
KEY LARGO WASTEWATER TREATMENT DISTRICT THE REQUIREMENT
THAT DECISIONS MADE BY THE GOVERNING BOARDS OF THOSE
ENTITIES MUST BE PURSUANT TO CHAPTER 120, FLA. STAT., THE
FLORIDA ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES ACT.
WHEREAS, decisions made by the Governing Boards of the Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority,
Inc. (FKAA) and the Key Largo Wastewater District (District) are covered by Chapter 120, FS, the
Florida Administrative Procedures Act (Chap. 120); and
WHEREAS, While Chap. 120 may be admirably suited for decision making by the large well-
staffed state agencies, Chap. 120 imposes unduly heavy and time consuming burdens on small local
agencies such as the FKAA and the District; and
WHEREAS, given the urgent ecological necessity of providing centralized sewer service in the
Florida Keys, the citizens and the environment of the Keys are ill served by the delay and waste of
staff time incurred by forcing the FKAA and District to operate under Chap. 120; now, therefore
BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MONROE COUNTY,
FLORIDA:
Section 1. Hereby requests that the Legislature of the State of Florida delete from the
special acts creating the Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority, Inc. and the Key Largo Wastewater
Treatment District any requirement that decision making by the FKAA and District must be pursuant
to Chap. 120., F.S.
Section 2. Hereby directs the Clerk of the Court to send certified copies of this Resolution
to Monroe County's legislative delegation
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe C~unty, FlQrida, at
a regular meeting of said Board held on the 18th day of December, 2002. CJ ;:-.. 25 ::!
