AGENDA ITEM WORDING:
Approval to adopt the recommended federal and
state match for the Key Largo wastewater project.
ITEM BACKGROUND: At the Marathon wastewater conference held in April, 2001,
the political leaders of Monroe County decided that federal funding for
wastewater projects would be based on the maximum reduction of nutrients.
It was agreed that by doing the big three, Key Largo, Islamorada, and
Marathon, we could obtain the maximum reduction of nutrients with the $100
million of federal funding. This agreement was ratified in Tallahassee by
the mayors of Monroe County, Islamorada, Marathon, and Key West.
The citizens of Key Largo are dependent on federal funding, state
funding, and the commitment of the Monroe County BOCC to spend the
$34,733,000. in Key Largo.
As wastewater costs will vary throughout the keys and the cost of the
Key Largo project is unknown, it is imperative that this commitment is made
so that Key Largo can move ahead with its wastewater system.

Dear Ken:
Here are just a few thoughts regarding the agreement on the $100 million
federal appropriation.
The Monroe County BOCC and the mayors of the cities of Key West, Key
Colony Beach, Layton, Marathon and Islamorada reached an agreement to
split the $100 million in the following manner: , tf? Jz,..)-
Key Largo 29.56%~$29,560,oook~ -<<:f:f 414/,//
Islamorada 29.56% = 29,560,000~. '. I-jj/a_1 ~v
Marathon 29.56% = 29,560,000 -' , . /"b ()
Key West 10.3 % = 10,320,000 t0~. ~
'Key Colony Beach .2 % = 200,000 .
Layton .8 % = 800,000.
All parties present agreed to this and when Carmen Turner asked for a show
of hands that supported this position, all political parties raised their hands.

It is extremely important to note that everyone agreed that the first project
ready would be the first project funded, but all projects ,would be funded
over the three-year period.
It is not often that all of the political entities in the Florida Keys agree on
one issue. I see this as the fIrst step in bringing county and city governments
into the process of working together to solve some of our common goals.
I would also urge you to make every effort to identify state funds for a 10-
15% match of federal funds to insure that the Congress will actually fund the
first $33 million in the bill.
It is extremely important to let all of the areas that were not addressed in this
agreement to be funded at a later date with county, state, and federal funds
and that all the parties of this agreement would support that position in the
future.
It is also important to note that the funding of the three large projects, Key
Largo, Islamorada, and Marathon will provide affordable sewage to those
areas' residents.
By following the agreement reached on April 20th in Marathon, we have
accomplished the following goals:
1. Working together as a whole community
2. Providing affordable wastewater treatment for the majority of the people
in Monroe County
3. Reduce nutrients in our nearshore waters to the maximum, with available
