1. Lower Lower Keys Regional System Meeting: Will be held Tues., Feb. 1ih at 4PM.
Report to follow.
2. Invasive Exotics Ordinance revision: You have all received an invitation (see
attached letter) to visit a site where you can see the challenges raised by invasive
exotics. These site visits are also being used to invite our nursery owners and
landscapers to learn more about what makes an exotic species invasive and how
difficult the problem is to conquer. A proposed revision of our current very weak
ordinance will be proposed to the Planning Commission shortly, to be followed by
action of this Board. If you have any doubts that the revisions are needed, please
make the time to attend one of these sessions. (I am assuming that our Mayor, who
has his own indigenous park, doesn't need a site visit!)
3. EPA Funding: Growth Management is still working on final maps, you will have a
full assessment by the end of the week.
4. Affordable Housing Planner: Proposals in response to our request for qualifications
will be received by February 5th. Rebecca Jetton, Rick Casey, and I will get together
in a few days to do a preliminary ranking. We may also require some interviews
before we present those rankings to the next Affordable Housing Summit, which I
expect to be called next month.
5. Wastewater items for general discussion: Ya'll a number of issues are breaking even
as we speak and we will need to discuss them at this meeting. Such topics include:

funding (attached), late breaking Federal funding news, and news concerning State
funding options.

Dear Professional Plant Nursery and Landscapers:
This letter is a follow-up to our recent invitation to a workshop concerning proposed changes
to Monroe County's existing Land Development Regulations concerning invasive exotic
plant species and development of a new ordinance to help minimize the problems these
plants cause. Thank you very much to those of you who attended the January 17th workshop.
To those of you who were unable to attend, we wanted to provide another opportunity to
learn more about these proposed changes, particularly why they are needed.
This is an invitation to meet with a biologist or conservationist who is working in a local
native area to keep the species proposed for adding to our local ordinance (some of which are
already on the "prohibited" or "controlled" lists in neighboring Miami-Dade). You'll have
the opportunity to see a problem area that involves at least one of these species, and to ask
about other species you may have concerns or questions about. Such an opportunity is
provided in the Upper, Middle and Lower Keys:
Upper Keys: Feb. 15th, 10 a.m. - noon. Meet at entrance gate to John Pennekamp Coral
Reef State Park on Key Largo. The group will then carpool to site(s).
Middle Keys: Feb. lih, 9 a.m. - 11 a.m. Meet at Tropical Crane Point Hammock's Visitor
Center on Marathon.
Lower Keys: Feb. 13th, 9 a.m. - 10 a.m. Meet at Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission property on Upper Sugarloaf Key (turn oceanside on County
Road 939 across from Mangrove Mama's Restaurant and drive down
approximately ~ mile just past the last house).
I hope you will find time to attend one of these sessions, particularly if you were unable to
attend the January 17th workshop. Thanks again.

Reference:
Florida Keys Aqueduct Authonry Key Largo Wastewater System under Public Law
106-3], Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 1999 (1249
and 1259 Unmct Needs Program)
Dear Mayor McCoy:
This letter is a follow-up to the Board of County Commissioner's meet:!ng on November 20,
200 1, in which the Board voted to support legislation creating an independent elected sewer
board for Key Largo. If enacted, the Florida Key Aqueduct Authority~) would no longer
be the subgrantee for the Key Largo wastewater project Furthermore it is our understanding that
the FKAA Board passed a resolution indicating its intent to withdtaw from wastewater
management in unincorporatod Monroe County if the C.ounty voted for an independent board, In
light of these events, FEMA has become increasingly concerned over the ",ability of this proj eet
The Unruet Needs Program was authorized to address problems caused by Hurricanes Georges
and Mitch in 1998. This supplemental appropriation was emergency in nature, with the intent to
assist local governments in a timely fasmon. Otangingthe subgrantee, the type of project or the
geographic area of the project at this late date would not meet the eme!gency problem-solving
intent of this appropriation. In addition. the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
has spent a considerable sum (over $1.50,000 to date) on the environmel!fal review for Momoe
County wa~[ewatcr projects and we are IJJ1willing at this point to expend additional funds for
contractors to assess a new site.
Most significantly, tbe Unmet Needs projects had an appropriations perio~ of availability of two
years that expired on September 30, 2001. The Key Largo project is past its period of
appropriation availability and the fundS have been conditionally obligat~ in order to keep the
project viable, In consultation with the FEMA Office of Financial Management, grant funds are
to be spent for the purposes and objectives of the grant. Once the perjod of availability has
expired, any change in !be subgrantee, change in the geographic area of the project. or chllDge in
the type of the project would be considered an "out of scope" change. These types of changes
would be in violation of the appropriations law and the gnmlec and subgrantee would bave to
forfeit its federal funds,

Changing the subgnntee for the Key Largo plant, as votedooOul in the Nov.ember 20,2001, Board
of County Commissioners meeting, or moving the site of the plant. would be an "out of scope"
change. Therefore, the Board's only option with respect to the FEMA Unmet Needs funds is to
complete the scope of work for the original. grant request with the FKAA as the subgrantee and
Mile Marker 100.5 as the project site,
FEMA is growing increasingly concerned about the lengtboftime to.implem.ent tbis emergency
needs project Within 30 days of this letter, please provide this.affice with a fmn commitment to
adhere to the original scope of work. If the County does not respond. FEMA will have no choice
but to withdraw the Key Largo grant funds. We stand ready to work with yourofficeandFKAA
to reach a positive outcome on the original scope of work.
If you have 'any questions, please contact Lawrence Frank of my staff at (770) 220-5438.

The Honorable Charles McCoy, Mayor
Monroe County
25 Ships Way
Big Pine Key, Florida 33043
Reference:
Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority Key Largo Wastewater S~lem under Public Law
106-31, EmergencySupplem.ental Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 1999 (1249
and 1259 Unmct Needs Program)
Dear Mayor McCoy:
This letter is a follow-up to the Board of County Commissioner's meet:jng on November 20,
2001, in which the Board voted to support legislation creating an independent elected sewer
board for Key Largo. If enacted, the Florida Key Aqueduct Authority~) would no longer
be the subgrantee for the Key Largo wastewater project. Furthermore it is our understanding that
the FKAA Board passed a resolution indicating its intent to withdt;lw from wastewater
management in unincorporatod Monroe County if the C.ounty voted for an independent board. In
light oftbese events, FEMA has btx:ome increasingly concerned over the ~abiIity of this project
The Unruet Needs Program was authorized to address problems caused by Hurricanes Georges
and Mitch in 1998. This supplemental appropriation was emergency in D~ture, with the intent to
assist local governments in a timely fashion. Changing the &ubgrantee, the type of project or the
geographic area of the project at this late date would not meet the em~ency problem-solving
intent of this appropriation. In addition, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
has spent a considerable sum (over $150,000 to date) on the environmel!fal review for Momoe
County wa~tewatcr projects and we are unwilling at this point to expend additional funds for
contractors to assess a new site.
Most significantly, the Umnet Needs projects had an appropriations periog of availability of two
years that expired on September 30, 2001. The Key Largo project is past its period of
appropriation availability and the fundS ha.ve been conditionally obligateJl in order to keep the
project viable. In consultation with the FEMA Office of FiDollDcial Management, grant funds are
to be spent for the pmposes and objectives of the grant. Once the perjod of availability has
expired, any change in the subgranlee, change in the geographic area of the project, or change in
the typc of the project would be considered an '~out of scope" change. l'hese types of changes
would be in violation of the appropriations law and the grantee and subgrantee would have to
forfeit its federal funds,

Changing the subgrantee (or the Key Largo plant, as voted-out in the Nov.ember 20,200). Board
of County Commissioners meeting, or moving the site of the plant. would be an "out of scope"
change. Therefore, the Board's only option with respect to the FEMA Unmet Needs funds is to
complete the scope of work. for the original. grant request with the .FKAA as the subgrantee and
Mile Marker 100.5 as the project site.
FEMA is growing increasingly concemedabout the lengtboftime to.implcment this emergency
needs project. Within 30 days of this letter, please provide this office with a finD commitment to
adhere to the original scope of work. If the.County docs not respond, Fa4A will have no choice
but to withdraw the Key Largo grant funds. We stand ready to work with yourofl"rceand-FKAA
to reach a positive outcomeonthc original scope of work.
If you have 'any questions, please contact Lawrence Frank of my staff at (770) 220-5438.

SUBJECT:
Supplemental Information for Agenda Item L-9 c); First Day,
February 13, 2001, DOCC Meeting
Enclosed are a spreadsheet and supporting maps for the above referenced agenda item related to
the EP A funded project for provision of on-site wastewater treatment systems through a
decentralized wastewater management entity. The maps depict Cold Spot areas proposed for
initial inclusion in the EP A, State, and County funded project to upgrade existing permitted on-
site systems to meet wastewater treatment standards. The spreadsheet provides specifics on the
number of unknown systems (will or are currently being upgraded), unknown systems-resolved
(already upgraded), permitted systems (developed lots), and total number of lots by subdivision
within each Cold Spot.
The candidate Cold Spot areas were recommended by staff based on such factors as the: 1) number
and proximity of existing permitted systems yielding opportunities for clustering of on-site
wastewater treatment and disposal systems; and 2) the likelihood that existing systems will not be
incorporated into any central systems proposed for nearby Hot Spots. The preliminary three top
candidates for this program are: l)Summerland Key (Project #6); 2) Upper Sugarloaf (Project #4);
and, 3) Cudjoe Key (Project #5).
Should you have any questions, please contact George Garrett, Director of Marine Resource~.
