AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval to advertise a public hearing to revise Monroe County
Code Sectionl8 -27(h) to increase the fee for use of the boat ramp to $30 per watercraft trailer by
non - county residents on Federal holidays, weekends, and the two days of lobster mini - season.
ITEM BACKGROUND: The boat launch fee at the Park has been the same for a decade or more.
Local fees at commercial ramps in the area now range from $20 -$30 /vessel. The County's park
expenses have increased over the years and a second employee has been added to work the boat
ramp during peak periods. The County's fees should mirror the local businesses' fees to avoid
undercutting the local businesses. The fees will not be charged to County residents with proof of
residency.
Fees charged at other local ramps:
Founders' Park: $30
Mangrove Marina: $30
Caribbean Club: $20
Boat Ramp at MM 107: $30
