Department: Public Safety
AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval to pay the amount of $26,441.00 to the Florida Department of
Community Affairs as reimbursement for one-half the total expenses of the C-130 Medivac Aircraft used
for evacuation during Monroe County's response to and recovery from Hurricane Michelle in November
2001.
ITEM BACKGROUND: The Florida Department of Community Affairs is requesting reimbursement
for expenses, in the total amount of $52,882.00, incurred by the State of Florida under the Emergency
Management Assistance Compact (EMAC) Mission Numbers 42 and 137 for evacuation of Monroe
County hospitals by Medivac aircraft during Hurricane Michelle on November 4 and 7, 2001 provided by
the State of North Carolina. Additionally, Lower Florida Keys Health System and Fishermen's Hospital
have offered to jointly pay one-half of the total expenses. The EMAC missions were duly authorized and
requested during Monroe County's Declaration of State of Local Emergency. Since Monroe County did
not receive a Presidential Declaration as a disaster area from Hurricane Michelle, the expenses associated
with response and recovery remain a local responsibility.
