RESOLUTION REQUESTING ASSISTANCE OF STATE

TO MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA.
WHEREAS, the Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority has notified
the BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA that

is critically short and it will be some time before the normal daily
demand can be met from the pipeline and Desalination Plant, and the
reserve brought up to adequate levels, and
WHEREAS, it is herefore necessary that the citizens of
Monroe County receive State and Federal assistance in transporting
the water supply to Monroe County, now therefore
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF
MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA, AS FOLLOWS:
1. That the appropriate State and Federal agencies be and each is
hereby requested to assist the Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority in
transporting by truck or barge, potable water into Monroe County,
Florida.
2. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a true copy of the fore-
going Resolution be forwarded by the Clerk to the Honorable
Robert Graham, Governor of the State of Florida with request that
the appropriate State assistance be forthcoming to Monroe County,
Florida and that a true copy of the Resolution be forwarded to
