DOE is now the parent agency of the former Department of Community Affairs. The state signaled it plans to approve Marathon’s request because of the city’s progress on completing its sewer construction. Those 100 allocations equate to transient units set aside for future hotel development. But County Administrator Roman Gastesi, in a letter sent Nov. 18, questioned the state’s action, citing hurricane evacuation models not yet approved as the reason to hold off any “bonus” units to anyone in the Keys. Well, the state responded Dec. 5 and it looks like the county may have ignited its own petard. Doug Darling, DEO’s executive director, said Photo courtesy MONROE COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY the state has determined that 100 transient units On the top at left is the Monroe County library “evacuated within the first 24 hours of a 48-hour card of playwright Tennessee Williams, which phased evacuation stream” don’t pose any added was to expire in February 1985.

A national survey of 600 major companies by the Towers Watson consulting firm found that 33 percent were planning in 2012 or later to reward or penalize workers based on targets for such issues as weight and cholesterol levels. Another 18 percent plan in 2012 or later to take sim- ilar actions when it comes to those with chronic diseases. That’s double the percent- age of major companies that were enforcing such meas- ures in 2010. Facing a national obesity epidemic and soaring num- bers of diabetics, many employers are worried about rising health-care costs. Though double-digit per- centage increases are no longer happening, a recent survey of 100 Florida employers by the Mercer consulting group found that their total health-care costs increased 5.7 percent in 2011 — two-thirds higher than the inflation rate of 3.5 percent.
