NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING
The City of Marathon will hold a public meeting on the information below on Wednesday August 28, 2024 at 5:30pm.
The Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) is committed to a robust public participation process regarding the state-mandated hurricane evacuation modeling discussions, which will continue through January 2025.
The City is coordinating with the County to give the public every opportunity to participate in the process. This will be the same presentation Monroe County Strategic Planner Kimberly Matthews has given to many civic groups during the past few months.
The public presentation will be held Wednesday, Aug 28, from approximately 5:30-7 p.m. at City of Marathon Council Chambers.
Monroe County continues to give a monthly update during regularly scheduled BOCC meetings and is in the process of meeting with nonprofit and civic groups throughout the Florida Keys regarding the Dept. of Commerce’s hurricane evacuation modeling to gauge public opinions on everything that affects evacuation timing and the number of additional ROGO/BPAS allocations, if any, the County and municipalities should request from the State. The hurricane evacuation modeling is based on a Florida Statute requiring that Monroe County residents be able to evacuate the Florida Keys within 24 hours before a storm. Any allocations awarded could be issued over the next 10 to 30 years or at a rate that does not lead to unbalanced growth or additional takings liability. To learn more about these terms, why they are important, to view the process, or to see upcoming meetings, visit www.monroecounty-fl.gov/rogo2024.
