The Marathon City Council on Tuesday will focus on two ordinances that involve water and irrigation within the Marathon city limits and an important review of long-sought financial documents from Baptist Health South Florida, key to the funding for the rebuilding of Fishermenâs Community Hospital.
There is also a resolution on the councilâs agenda to approve an agreement between the City and the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) providing funding for the Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery Infrastructure Repair Program (CDBG), along with and a property redevelopment agreement between the City and Marlin Bay Yacht Club.
Ordinance 2021-07 proposes stringent irrigation restrictions. It was pulled from last monthâs agenda because City Manager George Garrett wanted to have a Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority representative on hand for insight and details. It is back on todayâs agenda with an FKAA speaker scheduled and is expected to be a heavily debated discussion among council members.
