AGENDA ITEM WORDING:
Approval to solicit bids for the installation of 135 Idle Speed / No Wake buoys at designated areas along the
shoreline in the Islamorada the Village of Islands at the request of the Village.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
Extending over several months the Village Nearshore Waters Committee developed a recommendation for the
placement of Idle Speed / No Wake buoys along the shoreline within the Village jurisdiction. The idle speed
zone was created by Village ordinance, and the buoys are allowed under Florida Keys National Marine
Sanctuary regulations. The work of the Nearshore Waters Committee in making its recommendation was top
notch and quite comprehensive. Village representatives came before the County Marine and Port Advisory
Committee (MP AC) with their request for funding of 135 buoys. The MP AC approved the request with the
provision that the project could be completed in one year, but should cover the equivalent of two years worth of
Boating Improvement Fund appropriations for the Village. The MP AC sends forward its recommendation for
approval on this project. All necessary permits for the project are in place.
