AGENDA ITEM WORDING: A resolution by the Monroe County Board of County
Commissioners authorizing temporary emergency marine debris removal staging areas on parcels of
land, as approved by Monroe County, for the collection, storage, and transfer of vessels and marine
debris related to Hurricane Irma, effective September 27, 2017, for a duration of up to 180 days.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
The Monroe County Mayor declared a State of Local Emergency on September 5, 2017 due to
Hurricane Irma, a "threat of danger to the populace inhabiting Monroe County" and that the County
"may require expedient action in order to protect the health, safety and welfare of the community."
Hurricane Irma, a Category 4 hurricane, made landfall in the Florida Keys on September 10, 2017,
causing substantial damage to and loss of property.
The substantial damage to and loss of property caused by the high winds and storm surge from
Hurricane Irma resulted in large amounts of accumulated marine debris and this debris must be
collected and stored pending disposal
The County Commission has declared that in the event of a state of emergency, certain work shall be
exempted from requiring a permit, to provide expedient action in order to protect the health, safety
and welfare of the community.
This Resolution authorizes temporary emergency marine debris removal staging areas on parcels of
land, as approved by Monroe County, for the collection, storage, and transfer of vessels and marine
debris related to Hurricane Irma, effective September 11, 2017, for a duration of up to 180 days.
