AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Discussion and approval to designate County funds to purchase a
generator and install required electrical wiring for the Marathon shelter of last resort at
Marathon High School
ITEM BACKGROUND: The Monroe County School Board has a number of new school facility
projects both planned and under construction. The County was approached earlier this year to
support funding for equipment and features necessary to support hurricane shelters to be
included in these projects. In conversations with City of Marathon staff and officials, there
seems to be interest in partnering with the County and School Board to fund the Marathon
shelter, although no official action has taken place to date.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: BOCC has discussed entering into a partnership
with the Monroe County School Board for outfitting of hurricane shelters for new school
facilities projects.

MEMO FROM:
Randy Acevedo, Superintendent
Monroe County Public Schools
241 Trumbo Road
Key West, Florida 33041
14 December 2005
TO:
Mayor Charles "Sonny" McCoy
530 Whitehead Street
Key West, Florida 33040
Mayor McCoy:
As you know, the county participated with us on the construction of Poinciana
Elementary School to make it an EHPA facility for short term use as a hurricane
shelter. The county's $200,000 investment provides a partial solution to many
foreseeable emergency management scenarios. From a policy perspective, our
cooperation makes good fiscal sense, and it minimizes the built footprint of
public facilities in the Keys.

FW: Marathon High School EHP A
Now that Marathon High School is under construction, Monroe County has the
opportunity to participate in creating an EHPA shelter in the Middle Keys. The
school district has already designed the facility to withstand a 190 mph
~indload. The additional critieria to make it an EHPA facility are described in
the attached pdf file. For a cost of $275,000, a large capacity shelter can be
available for Middle Keys residents as well.
The specific components of an EHPA do not provide added value to a school, but
they can provide a substantial benefit to the surrounding community. We urge the
BOCC to consider allocating funds for this purpose.
Because construction is in progress, our window of opportunity to add these new
design elements will close in a few weeks. For this reason, I ask you to
consider adding this as an emergency action item at the BOCC meeting scheduled
for December 21.
Please feel free to contact me if you require further information. We can also
arrange for you to meet with Niels Hubbell, Heery representative, who prepared
the attached document, should you have specific questions of him.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

REASONS NOT TO STAY IN CRITICAL CONCERN
1. Has cost the county tens of millions of dollars due to a challenge
by Last Stand to the agreement between the DCA and Governor
and Cabinet. During this period land costs increased for.
affordable housing properties 200% to 500%.
2. Slows the progress of providing affordable housing. Allows
challenges and egregious lawsuits by small minority groups,
thereby limiting affordable housing permits.
3. Slows economic development and promotes the loss of the local
workforce as evidenced by the current market crisis in workforce
housing.
4. Takes away local control of local issues such as land use and
affordable housing.
5. Critical concern costs Monroe County and the State of Florida
hundreds of thousands of dollars each year to administer.
6. County has met the requirements of Chapter 380.0552:
(a) To strengthen local government capabilities for managing land
use and development so that local government is able to
achieve these objectives without the continuation of the area of
critical state concern designation.
(b) To protect shoreline and marine resources, including
mangroves, coral reef formations, seagrass beds, wetlands, fish
and wildlife, and their habitat.
(c) To protect upland resources, tropical biological communities,
freshwater wetlands, native tropical vegetation (for example,
hardwood hammocks and pinelands), dune ridges and beaches,
wildlife, and their habitat.
(d) To ensure the maximum well-being of the Florida Keys and its
citizens through sound economic development.
O<J
(e) To limit the adverse impacts of development on the quality of
water throughout the Florida Keys.
(f) To enhance natural scenic resources, promote the aesthetic
benefits of the natural environment, and ensure that
development is compatible with the unique historic character of
the Florida Keys.
(g) To protect the historical heritage of the Florida Keys.
(h) To protect the value, efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and
amortized life of existing and proposed major public
investments, including:
1. The Florida Keys Aqueduct and water supply facilities;
2. Sewage collection and disposal facilities;
3. Solid waste collection and disposal facilities;
4. Key West Naval Air Station and other military facilities;
5. Transportation facilities;
6. Federal parks, wildlife refuges, and marine sanctuaries;
7. State parks, recreation facilities, aquatic preserves, and other
publicly owner properties;
8. City electric service and the Florida Keys Electric Co-op; and
9. Other utilities, as appropriate.
(i) To limit the adverse impacts of public investments on the
environmental resources of the Florida Keys.
G) To make available adequate affordable housing for all sectors
of the population of the Florida Keys.
7. Monroe County has addressed all the issues of Critical Concern
and Chapter 380.0552-environmentalland with the Tier System,
water quality with the wastewater projects, and affordable
housing with current projects ready to proceed.
8. Inability of the county to address local housing issues has caused
a market crisis in workforce housing. The average and above
average person cannot afford to buy the average home in Monroe
County.
