AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
Meeting Date: Wednesday. May 21. 2003
Division: BOCC
Bulk Item: Yes
No XX
Department: Commissioner Rice. District 4
AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Discussion and approval to rescind Resolution #200-2001 and
approval of revised resolution to transfer a portion of the County Solid Waste Transfer and
Land Fill property located on Long Key to the ownership of the City of Layton instead of the
Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority. The City of Layton has decided to undertake their
wastewater project independently of the FKAA at this time. The BOCC needs some direction as
to what effect, if any, this will have on the County's agreement with the FKAA as this project
will serve the surrounding areas unincorporated Long Key as well as the City of Layton.
ITEM BACKGROUND: The City of Layton requested assistance from the County in obtaining
a site for a central wastewater treatment plant. The County Solid Waste Transfer site and Land
FiD on Long Key was identified as having sufficient area to accommodate such a facility.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: Resolution# 200-2001 was adopted by the BOCC in
May 2001 agreeing in principle to transfer a portion of Monroe County property located in Long
Key to the Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority for use as a central wastewater treatment facility
for the City of Layton and any surrounding area of unincorporated Long Key. In August 2001,
a commitment was reaffirmed by the County and the City of Layton that in regards to the
facility study project funded by FEMA Unmet Needs Funds, that the development of a central
wastewater treatment facility to serve the City of Layton wiD include the remaining
unincorporated areas of Long Key in that facility's treatment area.
