AGENDA ITEM WORDING:
Discussion concerning the City of Marathon' s Municipal Service Taxing Unit (MSTU) funds.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
The City of Marathon is requesting that Monroe County revise the MSTU Ordinance to delete
references to payment to the Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority and draft an Interlocal Agreement
between the City of Marathon and the County to pay the City as it authorizes expenditures to continue
with the MSTU for the next fiscal year. In October of 2005, the FKAA entered into an Interlocal
Agreement with the City of Marathon wherein the FKAA grants the City of Marathon the authority to
proceed with the administration, maintenance, development and operation of its own wastewater
system. It states that MSTU funds will be used to reimburse FKAA for any authorized expenditures.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION:
Interlocal Agreement with FKAA in which the County agrees to collect the ad valorem tax or provide
funds to reimburse FKAA for planning and design of infrastructure for wastewater collection and
treatment within the Marathon MSTU
CONTRACT/AGREEMENT CHANGES:

STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Options:
1. Continue collecting the tax, amend the Ordinance and amend the Interlocal Agreement with the

directly to Marathon.
2. Amend the Interlocal Agreement with FKAA to delete the Marathon MSTU and repeal the
Ordinance.
3. Leave the MSTU and the current Interlocal Agreement in place until the MSTU expires after fiscal
year 2007-8.
