AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval to advertise a public hearing to adopt an ordinance
amending Ch. 26 of the Monroe County Code of Ordinances, deleting references to the Pilot
Program for Anchoring and Mooring which expires July 1, 2017, and adding language requiring
proof of pumpout Keys -wide.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
On February 20, 2013, the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) adopted Ord. No. 009 -2013
(attached) providing for boating- restricted areas and associated regulations, including `proof of
pumpout' within `Managed Anchoring Zones', under the authority of the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission (FWC) Pilot Program for Anchoring and Mooring (Pilot Program). Ord.
No. 009 -2013 will expire July 1, 2017, concurrently with the scheduled expiration of the Pilot
Program.
At the August 17, 2016 BOCC meeting, the BOCC discussed the pending expiration of the Pilot
Program and requested that the FWC allow the Pilot Program to expire if regulations are put in place
which allow the County to continue the successes of the Pilot Program. Based on the FWC Pilot
Program report and recommendations to the State Legislature in January 2017, the Legislature
approved a bill revising State Statute and establishing anchoring regulations designed to further the
positive results of Pilot Program, including authority for any local government located within a No
Discharge Zone (NDZ) to enact and enforce proof of pumpout regulations for vessels and floating
structures anchored for more than ten consecutive days. As all waters of the Florida Keys are within
a federally- established NDZ, the new statutes will provide for Monroe County's proof of pumpout
requirement to be re- established, and expand to include of the Florida Keys' waters within the
County. Staff has provided a table indicating the regulations in the current Pilot Program and
associated 2017 State anchoring bill regulations.

** State definition of Marina: "Marina" means a licensed commercial facility that provides secured public
moorings or dry storage for vessels on a leased basis. A commercial establishment authorized by a licensed
vessel manufacturer as a dealership is considered a marina for nonjudicial sale purposes.
Based on the authority provided by the Legislature (effective July 1, 2017), staff has provided a draft
ordinance (attached) amending Chapter 26 Waterways of the County Code, deleting all references to
the Pilot Program, and adding provisions to enact a new proof of pumpout requirement. The new
provisions, which expand the geographic area within which proof of pumpout will be required, are
based on similar criteria as the current proof of pumpout regulations (which have been tested for the
past four years) and provide for vessels pumped out by the County's mobile vessel pumpout service
to receive monthly color -coded stickers which is an acceptable form of proof of pumpout. Upon
adoption, the ordinance will be submitted to FWC for review and approval before implementation
can occur (as required under F.S.327.60(4)).
Staff recommends approval to advertise a public hearing, at the July 19, 2017, BOCC meeting in
Marathon, for adoption of an ordinance revising Chapter 26 of the County Code.

313 for review by any law enforcement officer. If a vessel owner utilizes
314 another vessel pumpout provider the vessel owner is required to maintain
315 documentation and pumpout logs to demonstrate use of pumpout to FWC,
316 MCSO or other law enforcement officers.
317
318 (b) No- Anchoring Buffer Zones. No- Anchoring Buffer Zones are established outside

321 promoting public access and the use of public mooring fields.
322
323 (1) No- Anchoring Buffer Zones shall be established in the following described
