Florida Keys municipalities experienced an overhaul of leadership this year in both appointed and elected positions.
In Marathon, Key Colony Beach and Islamorada, city and village managers left or were replaced, and several new elected officials were seated.
On Sept. 24, Key Colony Beach City Administrator Chris Moonis informed the city commission he would not seek a new contract. âWe wish him well and best of luck in his future endeavors,â Mayor John DeNeale said.
Moonis had served the city since November 2016. DeNeale, as mayor and as specified in the city charter, assumed the duties of city administrator until a replacement is hired by the commission and the search is ongoing.
