Thanks to Speaker s We would like to thank Drew Trivette Growth Management Division Director and Bob Welsh, Building Official for the City of Marathon for their time and input at our July 17th meeting. VOLUME 4 ISSUE 1 Happy New Year Well it looks as though we have made it through another year. I want to thank all of our members for their continued support during these tough economic times. I would also like to thank the Board of Directors for the tireless effort that they have shown this last year. As our membership continues to grow, our causes and goals are always ahead of us. They continue to need our attention and support. The Board of Directors would not be able to reach our full potential without the endless efforts of our Executive Assistant, Brenda McNalley. Thank you Brenda for all the tasks that you have accomplished this past year. Let’s look to 2010 for continued growth and success both personally and professionally. We wish everyone happiness, prosperity and a Happy New Year in 2010. Chris Gratton, President Board of Directors PAGE 2 VOLUME 4 ISSUE 1 PAGE 3 VOLUME 4 ISSUE 1 !!!What a Great Success!!! Thank you to every member for their generous donations towards our Toys for Keys Kids Drive in conjunction with our Annual Christmas Get-Together. Our association donated numerous boxes and bags of toys and $450 in cash donations. PAGE 4 VOLUME 4 ISSUE 1 PAGE 5 VOLUME 4 ISSUE 1 PAGE 6 Open Permits Attention All Contractors Final Reminder Do You Have an Expired Permit? The City of Marathon wants to resolve all of the expired permits in the City and perform inspections for safety issues. The City plans to accomplish this goal by February 1st, 2010. For a short time, the Building Department will be charging a $10 fee to clear a permit that expired prior to January 1, 2009 that did not have final inspections. After February 1, 2010, the fee will go back up to $65 to clear these expired permits. Many residents are surprised to find that they have expired permits, due to them or their contractor not getting a final inspection on their permits. Some of these expired permits were issued prior to Marathon becoming a City. This be- comes a problem for the homeowner when they go to sell their house, or in a worse case, there could be safety issues involved. It seems during the real estate boom, while there may have been expired permits attached to the real estate number, no one seemed to notice, but now the banks are looking closer than ever. The City has options available to the homeowner to remedy the situation and revise the records: If you produce evidence that the final inspection was approved, the City of course will correct their records. For a short time as mentioned above, the administrative permit is available for $10 that will enable the City to perform a visual inspection of the completed project and document final inspection approval and record it to clear the expired permit. Ignoring your expired permit may interfere with future real estate title searches or transactions, and it may cost you more later. Please see the friendly City Building Department Staff; they are ready to assist you to expedite the clean up all of the expired permits.

Did you know that the State of Florida has mandated (that’s an order) all Counties to recycle 75% of their waste by 2020? At last count, in 2007, Monroe was recycling 9% of total waste. This Counties goal is 35–40% by 2014…..we had better get our act together if we are to meet this order! No way is my household doing that percentage! Just taking a guess, we may, and this might be a stretch, be doing 10%. I know because, like all good husbands, it is my job to take out the trash. We have 2 bins in the kitchen and the one for recyclables gets emptied about every 8 to 10 days verses the regular trash which gets emptied every day. Waste Management is giving out 8 ½”x 11 ½” “Recycling Only” colored stickers, a list of what and what-not to recycle. WM has stacks of these for the taking. It will help you determine what is to be collected. The Green Initiative Task Force is an appointed group task force set up by the commissioners to get this Counties act together on being Green, recycling being only one aspect. At my last board meeting we had guest speakers Colleen Murphy, recycling coordinator, and Rosa Washington, solid waste administrator, both of whom work for the County, gave an update to GITF on recycling. Both women are dedicated to making recycling a reality in the Florida Keys. Some of the topics discussed: Education: An outreach program to the public, including our schools, is a way to bring this issue to the forefront of our everyday lives. All parts of the program would be presented in both Spanish and English. This goes for our County buildings and workers plus the commercial and industrial companies and workers in the County. The County has taken a big first step for Colleen Murphy was just hired and is up for the challenge. Making recycling mandatory for each household: This would be difficult to enforce. What can be done? Do we want to assign a code enforcement officer to each hauler to look in each trash can in front of every house? In addition, Solid waste/Recycling Dept. has no code enforcement authority. Mandatory commercial Recycling: Making it mandatory for commercial and industrial businesses to recycle was mentioned and could be enforced including: “Mandatory construction and demolition recovery”. Do I have your attention now! According to Rosa our industry generates 30% of the total waste collected in Monroe County. We need to pull together as a group and reduce the waste generated and start recycling more. If we do not we will be forced to do it. If the state wants us to recycle 75% of our total, and the contractors are generating 30% of that total, well, we may as well have a big red circle painted on our backs. Contractors are looking like the big culprit here. The last thing we need is code enforcement rummaging thru our trash at the job site and giving us a fine for throwing away those morning foam coffee cups from the 7-Eleven. Contractors in this County need to get proactive on trash and we had better start now. Contractors generate a lot of scrap wood, plastic, steel, and cardboard just to mention a few, and 75% of that needs to be recycled. Maybe our haulers need to help in this by having multi-bin 20-yard dumpsters. Or we could just use one 20-yard for scrap wood and have 3 or 4 smaller dumpsters for paper, metal, plastic. Logistics can be an issue on small sites, I know, but the point is we can do it. We can make it happen. And we had better do it before we are forced. I see the possibility of “Green Jobs” coming from this by developing a “Recycled Product Market” here in Monroe County. By keeping all of your scrap wood separated it can be reused. I have seen this done on large industrial assembly lines already and there is a market for steel, plastic, cardboard and paper. If enough contractors do it, well…. we’ve created jobs and reduced our trash. So we would like to hear from you, let the Florida Keys Contractors Association know your thoughts on recycling, some ways of improving the way we go about it. E-mail us at: [email protected] Let’s help Colleen and Rosa meet their 75% goal by showing them we’re doing our part. Who wants to start a Recycled Products Market? David W.
