A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MONROE
COUNTY, FLORIDA IN SUPPORT OF KEEPING THE KEYS' SOUTH FLORIDA WATER
MANAGEMENT SERVICE CENTER
WHEREAS, Monroe County is designated by the State as an Area of Critical State Concern
due to our extremely sensitive marine environment; and
WHEREAS, the State has mandated the County, with SFWMD as a project partner, to fully
implement stormwater and wastewater projects by the year 2010; and
WHEREAS, the County is just completing a wastewater master plan, is in the midst of
completing a stormwater master plan and is in desperate need of local representation from the
SFWMD to assist in implementing these master plans; and
WHEREAS, SFWMD will be collecting approximately $6 million in taxes this year from
Monroe County citizens with an increase of approximate 10'}'o each year; and
WHEREAS, no area of the SFWMD district is further from the West Palm Beach
headquarters than the Florida Keys, but no area is more directly dependent on the health of the
Everglades; now, therefore
BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MONROE
COUNTY, FLORIDA strongly urges the South Florida Water Management District to consider the
above in the evaluation of the importance of the Keys' service center, and in evaluating the amount
of funding that is returned to the citizens of the Keys.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Board of County Commissioners of Monr~ Count~rllcu;\da,
