Meeting Date: 19 July 2001

Growth Management

No
Department: Marine Resources
AGENDA ITEM WORDING:
Approval to use the pump-out grant funds (FWC Grant - LE328 for CV A 98-196) for the Florida Keys
Marina at Marathon to purchase a pump-out vessel for the marina.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
At the May BOCC meeting the Board approved a grant contract between the County and the Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Commission which provides funds to establish additional vessel pump-out
facilities at Florida Keys Marina, Marathon. After discussions with Marina staff, the City of Marathon
and others, staff is recommending that the funds be used to purchase a pump-out boat in place of the
hardened dock features proposed in the grant. FWC indicates that the grant is intended to be flexible
and that a simple letter making this request to purchase a pump-out vessel is all that is required by
them. They are also supportive of this proposed change. In light of the Marina Management's new
responsibilities for management of the Boot Key Harbor vessel mooring field, it is felt by all involved
that the FWC grant funds should be use to purchase the pump-out vessel. Appropriate purchasing
procedures would be followed in acquiring a pump-out vessel.
