AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Discussion and approval to recertify affIliation with Keep America
Beautiful, a National nonprofit public education organization dedicated, since 1953, to engaging
individuals to take greater responsibility for improving their local community environments.
ITEM BACKGROUND: The prior affiliate, Clean Florida Keys is now defunct. That Board has
indicated to the past Executive Director, Liz Holloway, a fonner County employee, that they are not
interested in continuing. The desire is to now shift to a County-sponsored program engaging all local
governments, private business, civic associations, homeowner associations and non-profit
organizations in a campaign of litter prevention. beautification and community improvement and waste
reduction. A Keep America Beautiful clean-up will be scheduled annually and nm by the county with
the help of volunteers. Other programs and events could be scheduled throughout the year.
Because Clean Florida Keys was the original local affiliate, and has not been "decertified" by Keep
America Beautiful, Monroe County can now recertify and rename the organization for a fee of $300.
This is a yearly network service fee. The cost to become a new affiliate would be approximately
$4,000. which is based on population (SO,OOO estimate). Recertifying the present affiliate and
renaming at a later date will result in a savings of $3,700.
Grants are available from FDOT yearly through Keep America Beautiful for tools such as garbage
bags, gloves, t-shirts, water, etc. An extension has been granted to the county for submittal to FOOT
for grant funding of approximately $9,575 for fiscal year 2005 - 2006.
