Resolution 121-2010
RESOLUTION NO. 121 - 2010
A RESOLUTION OF THE MONROE COUNTY
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS IN
SUPPORT OF THE RENAMING OF SPANISH
HARBOR KEYS TO "SCOUT KEY".
Whereas, the County has previously adopted Resolution 178-2009 in support of the
application of the Boys Scouts of America to rename West Summerland Key to "Scout Key";
and
Whereas, the u.s. Board of Geographic Names recently reviewed that application but
deferred action because that Board determined that the name "West Summerland" is assigned to
only part of the land mass known as Spanish Harbor Keys; and
Whereas, the Boy Scouts have amended their application to rename all of Spanish
Harbor Keys, including West Summerland Key as Scout Key; and
Whereas, County maps, including those of the Monroe County Property Appraiser only
depict the land mass in question as West Summerland Key; and
Whereas, West Summerland Key is identified as Feature ID # 293123 by the U. S. Board
of Geographic Names; and
Whereas, the U. S. Board of Geographic Names require, as part of their review, input
from local government regarding the renaming of the island and the amended application; and
Whereas, the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County, Florida desire to
publicly recognize the benefits of scouting for the youth of this community and the impact
scouting has made in the history of this island in the Florida Keys;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MONROE COUNTY BOARD OF
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, that:
1. The Board supports the renaming of Spanish Harbor Keys including that portion
officially designated as West Summer land Key to "Scout Key".
2. The Clerk is hereby directed to forward a certified copy of this resolution to the U. s.
Board of Geographic Names, U. S. Geological Survey, 12201 Sunrise Valley Drive,
MS 523, Reston, VA 20192-0523; the Florida State Board on Geographic Names,
FREAC, UCC 2200, Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL 32306-2641; and the
South Florida Council, Boy Scouts of America, 15255 N. W. 82M Avenue, Miami
Lakes, FL 33016.
