A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MONROE
COUNTY, FLORIDA SELECTING A PREFERRED WASTEWATER IMPROVEMENT
PR03ECT TREATMENT PLANT SITE TO SERVE BAYPOINT COMMUNITY, AND
REQUESTING THAT FKAA BEGIN WORK IMMEDIATELY TO FULFILL MONROE
COUNTY'S OBLIGATION TO FEMA FOR RECEIPT OF FEMA UNMET NEEDS
GRANT FUNDS FOR BAYPOINT
WHEREAS, FEMA Unmet Needs funds were awarded and are available to complete
wastewater improvements to serve the Baypoint community; and
WHEREAS, FKAA recommended a primary and a secondary treatment plant site to serve
Baypoint; and
WHEREAS, County staff has conferred with FKAA staff on the selection of treatment plant
sites and concurs generally with FKAA's findings; and
WHEREAS, the FKAA's secondary site at the Saddlebunch RV Park is the preferred site,
because
• Land acquisition cost, based on the Monroe County Property Appraiser's assessed
valuation of $112,605, is substantially less than the other evaluated sites.
• The site is the most compatible site for a treatment plant, due to screening and buffering
from residences, setback from Overseas Highway and the existence of a wastewater
treatment plant already situated on a portion of the property.
• The site allows future expansion to serve a wider region.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF
MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA:
5 =Ion 1. The BOCC requests that the Monroe County Land Authority (MCLA) enter into
negotiations to purchase the prioritized site. In the event that no acceptable purchase price is
negotiated, the County Attorney is directed to take necessary steps to initiate condemnation
proceedings.
Section 2. The BOCC requests that the FKAA continue efforts to complete mutual
obligations with FEMA for receipt of FEMA Unmet Needs money.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County, Florida, at
a regular meeting of said Board held on the 19th day of July, 2002.
