Resolution 484-2000
Commissioner Nora Williams
RESOLUTION NO. 484 -2000
A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF MONROE COUNTY REQUESTING
THAT THE STATE LEGISLATURE AMEND THE
PRESERVATION 2000 STATUTE (SEC.259.101, F.S.) IN
ORDER TO AUTHORIZE MUNICIPALITIES TO APPLY FOR
PRESERVATION 2000 AREA OF CRITICAL STATE
CONCERN PROGRAM GRANTS AND TO ELIMINATE THE
MATCH REOUIREMENT FOR SMALL MUNICIPALITIES
WHEREAS, Rule 9K-5.003(3), FAC, authorizes counties, but not municipalities, to
apply for Preservation 2000 Area of Critical State Concern Program (ACSCP) grants,
thereby forcing any municipality within the Florida Keys Critical Area to depend on the
County to apply for ACSCP grants for any land purchases in the municipality; and
WHEREAS, such a procedure is unwieldy and cumbersome; and
WHEREAS, the Preservation 2000 ACSCP grants also require a local government
match; and
WHEREAS, due to the high monetary values of real estate in the Florida Keys, a
match requirement often creates an economic barrier that a small municipality cannot
overcome; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MONROE
COUNTY, FLORIDA:
Section 1. The Legislature of the State of Florida is hereby requested during its
2001 session to amend the Preservation 2000 ACSCP statute, Sec. 259.101(3)(c) F.S.,
expanding eligibility so as to allow municipalities to apply directly for Preservation 2000
ACSCP grants, and eliminating the requirement of a local cash match for municipalities
under 10,000 population.
Section 2. The Clerk is directed to send certified copies of this resolution to the
County's legislative delegation, Mr. Steven M. Seibert, Chairman of Florida Communities
Trust, and the Mayors of all municipalities located in Monroe County.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County,
Florida, at a meeting of said Board held on the 21st day of November, 2000.
