AGENDA ITEM WORDING:
Report on Everglades Coalition Meeting, discussion of subsequent wastewater funding possibilities
and request from the BOCC for conceptual approval of request for federal wastewater grant
appropriation from the U. S. Senate
ITEM BACKGROUND:
The Board of County Commissioners has always been concerned with the personal expense to be
experienced by property owners with the establishment of a centralized sewerage system. Grant
funding will be essentially to keeping costs reasonable for area homeowners. A meeting with Senator
Bob Graham has led to an opportunity to move forward in attempting to secure a grant appropriation.
The Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority has quickly worked with Commissioner Williams to place a
proposal on the table.
PREVIOUS REVELANT BOCe ACfION:
The BOCC has repeatedly worked for and successfully won grants for wastewater treatment in the
Florida Keys. Congressman Peter Deutsch has had an appropriations bill present before the U. S.
House of Representatives for two years.
