WELCOME

What is Key Colony Beach? If you are a full time resident, seasonal resident or visitor, you know what a special place this is. Not only are you enjoying a tropical paradise, you are among a great group of people that have kept this little island city the “Gem of the Florida Keys” for more than 60 years. We do ask that our residents and visitors protect our beautiful reef environment, the safety of each other and our friendly tropical lifestyle. Our famous sign, “Honestly now, what’s your hurry?” is not just a reminder that you are off the highway, it is an invitation to enjoy our city, by slowing down on land and in our canals; to “share the road” with our many pedestrians, canal boaters, paddlers, swimmers and manatees. Thank you! – Mayor John DeNeale

MAYOR UPDATE, April 29, 2019

Neighbors and friends,

           Your city staff hosted a very informative workshop on the status of City Hall with recommendations for its future repair and/or replacement. Our Building Official briefed Florida Building Code and BFE (Base Flood Elevation) considerations, our Disaster Recovery Consultant covered federal regulations regarding FEMA and the City Administrator discussed office space requirements and funding options. The event was well attended by our residents with additional attendance online via “Gotomeeting.com.” Most importantly everyone had an opportunity to ask questions and voice opinions. The trading of ideas and suggestions was most important and valuable for all. Several of our neighbors provided expert opinions based on detailed research. The PowerPoint presentation is available on at the top right of this webpage. The next steps in the process are to hire and Architect/Engineer, continue the process of our FEMA grant, and sourcing funding from the State or commercial loans. At this time, I do not foresee anything but a small tax increase to cover costs above grants that we should receive. On grant issues, we are finally seeing movement on some of the larger 28 FEMA projects/grants we submitted for IRMA recovery. Approximately $1.7 million were in final review status by FEMA and are now pending at FDEM (Florida Department of Emergency Management), the agency responsible for managing all FEMA grants for the State. We are hoping to receive these funds soon for major hurricane reserves.
