AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of a resolution amending Resolution 201-2019, the
Florida Keys Transportation Coordination Committee (FKTCC), to allow a local government to
appoint someone other than an elected official as its representative and alternate.
ITEM BACKGROUND: In June 2018, the BOCC gave a head nod approval to Commissioner
Rice to explore the issues and possible improvements to the public transportation in Monroe County,
both for workforce and tourism needs, with the overall objective of reducing traffic on US1.
The Transportation Improvement Work Group began meeting informally on a quarterly basis in July
2018 and consisted mainly of County and City of Key West staff involved with transit issues, model
transportation representatives from Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), including their
consultant group on transportation, South Florida Commuter Services (SFCS), Inc.; as well as the
Tourist Development Council, Extension Services and the City of Marathon.
On July 17, 2019 Transportation Improvement Work Group was formalized by the BOCC through
Resolution 201-2019 as the Florida Keys Transportation Coordination Committee (FKTCC). This
Resolution established a Committee composition of six members consisting of one elected official
from the governing body of each of the five municipalities and the County chosen by that governing
body.
The proposed amendment would allow a local governing body to appoint any person to serve as that
entity's representative, not just a current member of that governing body.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: June 20, 2018, BOCC discussed and approved a
focused study to possible enhancement of the public transportation system, with objective of
reducing traffic on US 1.
July 17, 2019, BOCC approval of Resolution 201-2019 establishing the Florida Keys Transportation
Coordination Committee (FKTCC).
