AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval to advertise a Public Hearing to consider adoption of an
Ordinance regarding Monroe County Parks and Beaches Summer Camp Program. The Public
Hearing shall be held at the Board of County Commissioners regular meeting on May 17, 2023, in
Key West, FL, or as soon thereafter as the item may be heard.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
The Monroe County Parks and Beaches department was established in fiscal year 2022. A main
goal of the new division is to provide high quality recreation programs at minimal cost throughout
the Keys community to promote fun, educational, accessible, and safe programs to individuals of all
ages and abilities. As part of this initiative, County staff has identified a need for a Summer Camp
program for children and youth in the community during the summer months.
The Summer Camp program will operate for 6 to 8 weeks during the months of June, July, and
August for children and youth ages of 6-11 who reside within the County. The pilot program will
be held at Big Pine Community Park and if successful, will be provided in other locations
throughout the County in the summer of 2024. Proposed household tuition is as follows:
1. Weekly camp fee will be $100.00. Additional child fee is to be $50.00 per child.
2. Summer Camp fees are offered at a fifty percent reduced rate for children who qualify
for reduced school meals within Monroe County School District.
3. Summer Camp fees are offered at a fifty percent reduced rate for children of Monroe
County BOCC employees.
The Summer Camp program was presented to the Monroe County Parks and Recreation Advisory
Committee at their March 27, 2023, meeting and they voted to support the program.
Staff is requesting approval to advertise the proposed Ordinance for a public hearing to be held at the
May 17, 2023 BOCC meeting.
