COMMISSIONERS' ITEMS
Mayor Stormont presented to Jim Carroll a
Proclamation proclaiming April 22, 1990 as EARTH DAY 1990.
Mayor Stormont discussed a funding request from the
Upper Keys Health Care Taxing District. Motion was made by
Commissioner Puto and seconded by Commissioner Harvey to
approve the request of the Upper Keys Health Care Taxing
District Advisory Board and the recommendation of Mayor
Stormont in his memorandum dated March 15, 1990, as quoted
below:
"1. Recommend to the Governing Body approval
of expenditure of up to $6,000.00 for off-
setting design fees for Emergency Room
construction improvements, Surgery
construction improvements and Intensive
Care Unit construction improvements.
Payment to be upon presentation of copy
of a vendor invoice indicating vendor
total charge, against which $6,000.00
reimbursement would be made to Mariner's
Hospital.
2. Provide for reserve in current fund alloca-
tions of $400,000.00 for construction and
equipping of facilities, to include (from
proposal from Mariner's) Emergency Room
Department item 1 and Intensive Care Unit
Expansion item 3.
These funds are available in Pre-transport
Treatment (approximately $164,000.00) and
Facilities (approximately $241,000.00).
Additionally, after financial analysis
(next point) is made, reserve status of
these funds might provide potential
financing package together with projected
revenues over the next three years (next
item) .
3. The Governing Body approve in concept the
Mariner's needs assessment, with directions
back to the Advisory Board and our financial
consultants to develop a financial package
for allocation of future Upper Keys Health
Care Taxing District revenues towards
Mariner's recommended expansion plans, to
be brought before the Board of County
Commissioners.
There is a projected amount of $646,150.00
in Pre-Transport Treatment over the next
three fiscal years and $662,332.00 in
Facilities over the next three fiscal years.
Statutory provisions permit re-allocation of
funds, per fiscal year, to meet shifting
projected needs. These projected figures
are based on current percentage utilization.
It is recognized that this will be the first
utilization of Trauma Taxing District funds, and
circumstances may be unique concerning abilities
and processes of utilization of the ordinanced
funds for purposes such as this.
RR 136
For this reason, I would request that the Clerk
and the County Attorney work toward and develop
criteria which may be applicable to guide the
expenditures of these funds, as the Ordinance
allows. These considerations should be, at a
minimum:
1. Ownership of such constructed facilities
and equipment (i.e. the Taxing District>.
2. Lease arrangements and responsibilities
for the facilities and equipment
(transferral to Mariner's Hospital with
appropriate District safeguards>.
3. Procedural guidelines for Mariner's
construction of the facilities (i.e. public
bid processes, allowable expenditures, etc.).
4. Process of reimbursement (or other coverage
of payment method) for such expenditures
(i.e. contractual, on monthly invoice, if
practicable, against lump sum, if practicable,
etc. > . "
Motion carried unanimously.

taxing district for the Greater Marathon area for the
