BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
Meeting Date: March 21, 2001
Division:
BOCC
Bulk Item: Yes
No XX
Department: Comm. Nora Williams
AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval to appoint a citizen committee to create a list of "trouble spots" in
the County Code, Section 9.5, that they feel need to be addressed as we pursue our goal to clarify and simplify
County Code. This Committee would be formed often individuals, two appointments from each County
Commissioner, and would not require staff guidance (one of the important elements of this to see what parts of
our Code are incomprehensible to the layman). A staff member will need to sit in at the first meeting to clarify
our purpose. (This idea emerged from discussions with the Key Largo Chamber of Commerce Board, but I think
it serves a county-wide interest!)
Those appointments would be made at the next Commission meeting. The job of this committee would be very
specific and would have a sunset date specified herein. This "County Code Committee" would have six months
from the date its members are approved by this commission to work their way through the Monroe County
Code and subsequently make a presentation to this Board. That presentation would consist of:
1) a list of sections that the Committee felt were antiquated - with reason why stated,
2) a list of sections that the Committee felt needed to be deleted - with reason why stated~
3) a list of sections that the Committee felt needed to be signifiicantly revised _ with cause for revision fully
specified.
Minutes, comments and updates will be submitted by the Citizen Committee to the Director of Growth
Management and members of the BOCC. The Committee's full recommendations would be made at the
September meeting of the BOCC.
PREVIOUS REVELANT BOCC ACTION: On the list of BOCC Goals for the year 2001 is the
