SUBJECT: Staff Update Report (# 01-03) on Wastewater Master Plan Implementation
Issues
The staff of the Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority will be on hand at the January Commission
meeting to update the Board on progress to date. The FKAA staff will provide their January
report on the day of the meeting, January 15th (Attachment 1).
A V AlLABLE FUNDS FOR WASTEWATER
Update on Federal Funds - $100 M Congressional Authorization: Public Law 106-554
authorized the Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) to "provide technical and financial assistance
to carry out projects for the planning, design and construction of treatment works to improve
water quality in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. Congress may appropriate up to
100 million dollars through previous authorization language.
In furtherance of ACOE and SFWMD objectives, the Project Development Team for the
wastewater project met on November 22, 2002. Discussion focused on developing criteria for
establishing priorities for the wastewater and stormwater projects that will be funded under the
program. Jim Reynolds and David Fernandez agreed to redraft some of the "readiness to
proceed" criteria which would allow the ACOE and the District to determine which projects
amongst the County and municipalities were truly ready to begin construction. Future meetings
of this group will occur at the beginning of the year. The next meeting of the PDT will be held
in late January or early February of 2003. It has not been scheduled yet. The minutes of the
November 22,2002 meeting are attached for your review (Attachment
From September until now, a number of actions and counter actions have been taken in reference
to the means by which federal funding is sought and obtained. The current direction from the
Board is to continue to seek funding through the Florida Keys Water Quality Improvement Act
and the ACOE. However, the Board has also indicated that if our State Representative can find
the means to redirect the funding through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to the
Florida Department of Community Affairs, this approach should not be discouraged. The most
recent effort to redirect funds came a meeting with Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen's staff
BC030151
12/17/028:46 AM
on the 20th of December 2002. The Commission called a special meeting in order that each
Commissioner could attend the meeting
Update on FEMA Funds: The County staff continues to work with FEMA and the FKAA to
complete the FEMA projects at Key Largo, Conch Key and Baypoint.
Receipt of FEMA funds depends on the completion of a series of stepwise commitments leading
from public hearings through construction design and ultimately construction. FEMA also
indicates that the local share of the project must be committed and contracted by September
2003.
Staff met on December 22, 2002 with FEMA, FDCA, FDEP, and the FKAA to discuss each of
the FEMA projects. A special focus was placed during the meeting on the transition
requirements and timing for a shift in the Key Largo Trailer Village project to the Key Largo
Wastewater Utility Board.
Update on FDEP State funding: State funding, in the amount of $ 11.8 million, was broken into
three categories and may fund either wastewater or stormwater projects. First, $1.66 million was
provided to qualifying projects in Key Largo, Islamorada, Marathon, and Key West. Second,
$200,000 was provided both Layton and Key Colony Beach. Third, the remaining funds ($4.76
million) will be provided to qualifying projects in hotspot areas as identified in the Wastewater
Master Plan. The County and municipalities have agreed in joint resolution to the equitable split
of these funds. The County's share will be $1.112 million. Then, if there are any funds left over,
additional projects will be considered in an additional round of funding.
Progress is being made on each of the State funded projects, Key Largo Park, North Key Largo
Utilities, Key West Resort Utilities. Bid requests for the Key Largo Park project will be out in
January from the FKAA. Contracts with the North Key Largo Utility and Key West Resort
Utilities are on the Board agenda for January to complete or pay for improvements in those
utility districts. The State contract to fund the utility projects is also on the agenda as well. Thus
once, executed and because the utility projects are either under way or complete at this time,
seeing final commitment of those state dollars will be accomplished.
Remaining Cesspool Elimination Funds:
In a separate report prepared for the September Board meeting, a complete assessment of the
availability of the cesspit replacement funds was provided with recommendations for its
redistribution to other projects. However, at a minimum $l ,095,394 of state funds and $792,049
of County funds are projected to remain for redistribution. These figures are predicated on an
assumption that 36 on-site system permits that were still in the system in September would apply
for and receive grant funds for cesspit replacement. If this is not the case, then the availability of
cesspit replacement funds for redistribution will be higher than projected. The BOCC approved
utilizing FDCA and County funds intended for cesspit removal at its September 21, 2002
meeting. Grant revisions to both FDCA grants for cesspit funding were also provided to the
Board at its October 16, 2002 meeting. Both contract revisions were approved.
2
The Transition Agreement with the Key Largo Utility Board, the FKAA, and the County will
define more clearly how much of the cesspit fund will be required in this area.
Other Grant Ooportunities:
Under House Bill 851 (FY 2002), the County developed a wastewater project proposal for the
Key Largo area. Similarly, the FKAA submitted several different proposals, one for each of its
current wastewater project areas. The Key Largo proposal and other FKAA proposals were
submitted in the early part of November.
Rick Casey of the Monroe County Housing Authority has been very hopeful of receiving a
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)for approximately $350,000. This request fell
through in October, failing to meet the funding cut by 1 place. Mr. Casey to resubmitted a
request in December of 2002 and hopes to receive an affirmative response in June of2003. This
is highly likely as agencies that already have a grant will not receive another. This puts the
County in a strategic position to receive a grant in the upcoming round of grant approvals. The
problem with this delay is that failure to receive the CDBG grant funds limits availability of
funds to assist low and very low income households.
Issues Addressed! Actions Taken
o Approval by the BOCC to provide funds to the FKAA in the amount of $200,000 to offset
costs of preliminary engineering efforts to complete requirements to receive State funds at
Key Largo Park.
o Approval of staff recommendations for use of remaining FDEP, FDCA, and County funds
remaining from cesspit replacement program.
o Approval of a Resolution requesting that the State's Congressional delegation assess the
feasibility of shifting any federal appropriations funds for wastewater in the Florida for
management and dissemination by the Florida Department of Community Affairs.
o Approval by the BOCC to provide an additional $156,000 to the FKAA for development of
the state funded Key Largo Park wastewater project.
o Approval of a revised Resolution to seek a dual path for funding wastewater projects, one
through the existing federal authorization and the other through the efforts of the County's
State Representative to have appropriations provided to a State Trust Fund administered by
FDCA.
o Submitted a project proposal for Key Largo under the auspices of House Bull 851.
o Attendance or the Board at a meeting with Ileana Ros-Lehtinen's staff to discuss approaches
federal wastewater funding
3
Issues That Need to be Addressed
o Need to adopt fmancial assistance criteria for economically disadvantaged households
throughout the County.
Recommended BOCC Action:
o Consideration of additional recommendations for financial assistance programs.
Significant Future Milestones! Actions:
o Decision on financial assistance programs as recommended by staff. [Target Date:
December Commission meeting]
W ASTEW A TER GOVERNANCE
Update FKAA: Currently County and FKAA staff are working well together.
Municipal Service Taxing Units were approved at the December 2002 Board meeting for Conch
Key, Marathon, Baypoint, and Big Coppitt. This leaves the Board with two options for funding
the FKAA administrative costs over the next several years, the MSTUs or Infrastructure Sales
Tax dollars from Fund 304. These funds will be required prior during construction and prior to
the operation of any wastewater facilities. The total annual encumbrance, in either approach is
approximately $150,000.
Update Kev Largo Wastewater Utility Board: To date, staff has met with the new Board three
times, once at its inaugural meeting on November 19, 2002, again on December 4, 2002, and a
third time on December ll, 2002 with FEMA, FDCA, FDEP, and FKAA to discuss the FEMA
project in Key Largo. Additional workshops are planned for January 7, 8, and 14th to discuss
budget and hiring both an engineer and grant manager. Regular Utility Board meetings will also
be held on January 15 and 22, 2002. Agenda packages and minutes from the meetings which
have been held are being provided to the Board of County Commissioners as they occur.
Major issues for the Utility Board include administrative hiring and budget matters, completing
the bid process for Key Largo Park, and adopting a rate and fee structure for Key Largo Park and
Trailer Village which is sufficient to secure the state wastewater dollars. Each item needs to be
well underway by the end of the month to the middle of February. Staff feels comfortable that
significant progress is being made and that the Board will be on time to secure necessary
funding.
Staff is preparing a transition agreement between the County, FKAA, and the Utility Board
which will be on the January BOCC agenda.

The FKWQIP PDT meeting was held from 9 a.m. to noon at the Marathon, FL
Garden Club facility on November 22, 2002.
WELCOME AND INTRODUCTIONS
Cecelia Weaver, South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), welcomed
the PDT, and each member introduced themselves and their organizational
affiliation. Shelley Trulock, U.S. Corps of Engineers (USACE), read a Federal
Advisory Committee Act (F ACA) statement addressing the following issues:
. PDT members/decision makers can only include FederallStateILocal officials
and elected officers of State, local, and tribal governments (or their designated
employees with authority to act on their behalf) acting in their official
capacities.
15
. Members of the PDT should be physically distinct from any public attendants,
by seating, nametags, or other measures.
. Any voting or consensus decision-making by PDT members should reflect the
views of member organizations and their principals.
. Comments from non-members of the PDT should be accepted in a forum that
makes clear the comment is public input and not part of the PDT decision-
making process.
. Public comment periods should be at specifically designated times, prefaced
with an explanation that the PDT is entertaining public comment, and
comment periods should not occur with great frequency during meetings.
. Comments from the public must not turn into dialogue/Q&A with PDT
members.
Functions & Responsibilities of FKWQIP PDT - Shelley Trulock and Cecelia
Weaver delivered a brief presentation explaining the roles and responsibilities of
the FKWQIP PDT. The following were presented as responsibilities of the PDT:
. Establish goals and objectives for theFKWQIP
. Review and approve the FKWQI Program Management Plan (pMP)
. Prioritize proposed wastewater and stormwater treatment projects
. Determine allocation of availableFKWQIP funding
. Approve program implementation schedule
Formal Adoption of the Goals and Objectives for FKWQIP PDT - Using the
goals and objectives listed in the Monroe County Sanitary Wastewater Master Plan
as a foundation, the following were adopted by the PDT as the single objective and
two goals of the FKWQIP:
Objective - The FKWQIP will provide an equitable, ecologically sound,
and economical implementation strategy for managing wastewater and stormwater
to improve water quality of the Florida Keys.
16
Goal - The FKWQIP will provide responsive, flexible, and cost-effective
solutions that improve wastewater and stormwater management practices
throughout the Keys and satisfy the existing and future needs of the community.
Goal - The FKWQIP will address affordability issues, and must satisfy all
applicable environmental and regulatory criteria.
FKWQIP PROJECT DISCUSSION
Review of Projects from Master Plan- Patricia Carney, EPJV, reviewed the draft
master list of wastewater and stormwater projects with the PDT members. Ms.
Carney explained that the list was derived from the Monroe County Sanitary
Wastewater Master Plan, the Monroe County Stormwater Management Master
Plan dated 2001, the City of Key Colony Beach Sewer System Evaluation dated
September 2002, the Village of Islamorada Stormwater Master Plan 2000, the City
of Key West Water Quality Improvement Program, and interviews with the City of
Layton, City of Marathon, City of Key West, Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority
(FKAA), Village of Islam orad a, and Monroe County, in October and November of
2002. She summarized what transpired during these meetings and explained how
this list is being updated for theFKWQIP PMP.
As of the date of the PDT meeting, the FKWQIP spreadsheet had a total of 252
projects. Ms. Carney said that 66 were wastewater and 186 were stormwater
treatment projects estimated to cost $517,088,677 and $75,261,006, respectively.
Ms. Carney also reviewed the delineation of projects within each of the
municipalities as follows:
Municipality or Entity Number of Projects Approximate Cost of Projects
Identified Identified
Monroe County 66 $295,000,000
Key West 100 $17,000,000
City of Layton 2 $4,650,000
City of Key Colony 2 $335,000
Beach
City of Marathon 11 $131,000,000
Village of Islamorada 71 $132,000,000
17
Ms. Carney explained that the costs presented above are based on the draft
information and are subject to change based on revised estimates to be provided by
the PDT members.
Ms. Carney requested that each PDT member review the project list and provide
her with additional information they deem important by December 15, 2002.
David Fernandez of the City of Key West inquired as to why the City of Key
West's Wastewater Projects were not in the list and if Ms. Carney had received
that list of projects from him. Ms. Carney responded that she did not.John Bartus
of Marathon, Greg Tindle of the Village of Islamorada, Tim McGarry of Monroe
County, and Charles Brooks of the Key Largo Wastewater Treatment District
Board, inquired as to whether the projects could be more clearly delineated as
being projects within their municipalities (as is the case of Key Largo, the area
under the jurisdiction of the Wastewater Treatment District). Ms. Carney
responded that she would make that delineation clearer.
The City of Marathon representative requested projects associated with the City
and formerly labeled as belonging to Monroe Countybe updated to reflect the City
of Marathon. The City of Key West representative indicated that he had several
wastewater projects to add to theFKWQIP spreadsheet.
Distribution Formula For Government Appropriations - PDT members agreed
to use the distribution formula approved by the Intergovernmental Task Force and
approved by the municipal governments of the Florida Keys. All PDT members
agreed that considerable effort had gone into development of the distribution
formula and there was no need to duplicate this effort.
Readiness-to-Proceed - A general consensus was reached among PDT members
that the general criteria outlined in the Monroe County Intergovernmental Task
Force Establishment of Readiness-to-Proceed document should be used to define
when a recipient is eligible to receive a percentage of their share of any
appropriations for wastewater and stormwater improvements authorized under the
FKWQIP Act. After considerable discussion, it was agreed that provisions of
Section 3b should be amended for use by theFKWQIP. The general concern was
that Section 3b criteria were very demanding in terms of requirements for financial
plans at this early stage of project development. A sub-team of Jim Reynolds and
David Fernandez was created to propose alternative language. Additionally it was
agreed to remove the Section 5 criterion dealing with public participation.
18
Project Prioritization - A general consensus was reached that projects should be
prioritized each year based on the "hot spots" prioritization approach used in the
Monroe County Sanitary Wastewater Master Plan and that each viable project must
be able to demonstrate an ability to meet the readiness-to-proceed criteria
described above. A consensus was reached that a new priority listing would be
prepared each year. It was also decided that each municipality would be
responsible for ranking their individual projects based on readiness-to-proceed
criteria.
Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) - PDT members stated
their strong desire that the Corps proceed with preparation of the Programmatic
Environmental Impact Statement for the FKWQIP. Concerns expressed by the
PDT were two fold: (1) Potential Project Delays - the primary criteria being used
to allocate monies is a demonstration of readiness-to-proceed on a project by
project basis, yet preparation of the appropriate level of National Environmental
Policy Act (NEP A) documentation has the potential to delay individual projects,
and (2) Program Opposition - significant opposition to centralized wastewater
collection and treatment exists within the Florida Keys; PDT members want this
opposition to be addressed during preparation of a programmaticEIS rather than
project by project. It was suggested that the recently completed FEMA draft:
Programmatic Environmental Assessment for Wastewater Management
Improvements in the Florida Keys be used as a base document.
Program Management Plan - Shelley Trulock described the purpose and content
of the PMP. A public workshop will be scheduled in late January to discuss the
draft: PMP with stakeholders in the Keys. The final PMP should be available in
late February 2003. PDT members agreed that this document should be prepared
to clearly demonstrate to Congress that a number of wastewater and stormwater
projects are ready-to-proceed and in need of Government appropriations. A goal
was established by the Intergovernmental Task Force to request $500,000 in
federal funding for FY 2003. Concern was expressed about the ability to carry
over allocated funds from one Fiscal Year to another. Ms. Trulock indicated that
she would further investigate this issue withUSACE management.
Statutory Requirements - A general discussion was held regarding the statutory
requirements governing both wastewater and stormwater management in the
Florida Keys.
Task List:
19
1. Cecelia Weaver, SFWMD, will inquire as to the applicability of the State
of Florida's Sunshine Law at meetings of the FKWQIP PDT and
communicate the determination to PDT members. Status: The SFWMD
Office of Legal is currently evaluating this issue.
2. Patricia Carney, EPJV, will continue to assimilate updated project listings
from municipalities into the FKWQIP spreadsheet and submit to PDT
members for review by December 22, 2002. Status: Ongoing
3. Patricia Carney, EPJV, will apply the prioritization scheme authorized by
the PDT to projects contained on the FKWQIP spreadsheet for final
authorization by PDT members. This approved spreadsheet will represent
the prioritization of projects for fiscal year 2003. Status: Ongoing.
4. Shelley Trulock, USACE, and Cecelia Weaver, SFWMD, will schedule
the next PDT meeting and subsequent public workshops for late January
Status: Meeting dates are not yet determined.
5. Shelley Trulock, USACE, will seek clarification on the "carryover" of
obligated funds from one fiscal year to another. Status: The USACE has
declared that funds may be carried over IF they are accurately targeted for
carry over. For example, for a $10M appropriation, the PDT can plan to
spend any amount (e.g., $6M) and carry over any amount (e.g., $4M),
deviation from the plan is not allowed.
6. PDT Sub-team will develop proposed alternative language for Section 3b of
the Readiness to Proceed document. Status: Jim Reynolds, FKAA, has
completed this task and submitted to PDT members via email (December 6,
2002). Jim requested feedback from PDT members by December 15, 2002
so he can compile the final language.
7. Shelley Trulock, USACE, will convey to USACE Headquarters the desire
of Florida Keys' municipalities to prepare a programmaticEIS to support the
FKWQIP. Status: The USACE has agreed that a programmatic EIS is
appropriate for the FKWQIP and EPJV has resumed EIS preparation
activities.
