AGENDA ITEM WORDING:
Approval of an inter-local agreement with the City of Marathon to off-set the costs of vessel waste pump-out
within the City limits.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
The County received $250,000 in grant funds through the state Clean Vessel Act (CV A) program to assist in
off-setting the high cost of vessel waste pump-out in the Keys. Individuals, businesses or governments who
receive CV A funds are restricted from charging more than $5.00 per pump-out for a period of five years after
receipt of the grant. However, the true cost of pump-outs in the Keys, with the high cost of waste haul-out, is
between $15.00 and $20.00. The City of Marathon has imposed new regulations requiring pump-out of
anchored out vessels as well as liveaboards in marinas. The City is incurring some of the cost as they utilize
their two pump-out boats to assist in the cause. Marinas are also incurring high costs when they are complying
with the CV A grant requirements (either after receiving a CV A grant or voluntarily). The City has contracted
with a waste hauler to haul waste from their facilities and from any others who will comply with the $5.00 per
pump-out cap. This inter-local agreement will pay the costs of the City's haul out program for an amount up to
$50,000.
