When a special meeting is called by the Mayor, then a written request for
the meeting must be delivered to the Clerk. When a County Commissioner
(other than the Mayor) wishes to call a special meeting, he or she must send the
written request to the Clerk and, at the same time, send the request to all other
members of the County Commission, and the County Administrator. If, within
two business days, two other County Commissioners send to the Clerk written
approval of the requested special meeting, then the special meeting will be
considered calied. The County Commissioners who send the Clerk written
approval of the requested special meeting must also, at the same time, send
copies to the County Administrator. If the Clerk determines that the special
meeting was properly called, then the Clerk must promptly provide verbal or
written notice, unless specifically waived, to the County Commission members,
the County Administrator and the County Attorney, stating the date, hour and
place of the meeting and the purpose of the meeting. The Clerk must also send
written notice of the special meeting to the local media outlets.
Only the business stated in the notice of the special meeting may be
considered at the meeting unless the Mayor or the County Administrator
determines that the public's best interest would be served if additional items
were considered and an amended written agenda is delivered by the County
Administrator to all County Commissioners, the County Attorney, and the local
media outlets a minimum of one business day in advance of the special meeting
date. Alternatively, a majority of the County Commissioners present at the
speciaimeeting may agree to add additional items to the special meeting
agenda.
When the Clerk has received a request for a special meeting that complies
with this subsection 1.02(b), he or she must make sure that there are at least
four hours between the call for the meeting and the date and hour of the
meeting unless an extenuating circumstance (e.g., an impending hurricane)
prevents that. If, after reasonable diligence, it was impractical to give notice to
each County Commissioner then that failure will not affect the legality of the
special meeting if a quorum is present. The minutes of each special meeting
must show the manner and method by which notice of the special meeting was
given to each member of the County Commissioners or the waiver of the notice.
c)
addition to,
general law.
The notice requirements set forth In this Section 1.02 are in
and not the replacement for, notice requirements mandated by
d) All County Commission meetings are open to the public unless a
specific exemption is provided by general law.
e) The Clerk must record, and is the custodian of, all County
Commission minutes.

h) Reconsideration: During the course of a meeting and after a
vote has been concluded on an agenda item, any Commissioner who voted with
the majority may move for reconsideration of that item. If the motion Is
approved by a majority of those Commissioners present, then the Commission
may ratify, rescind, or amend the deCision made by their initial vote. Provided,
however, In the case of any agenda item where a statute or a County ordinance
requires published notice and a public hearing, then the approval of a motion for
reconsideration will operate to stay the effect of the Initial vote until the notice
can be republished and a subsequent public hearing heid. Upon conclusion of the
subsequent public hearing, the Commission may ratify, resCind or amend the
decision made by the Commission's initial vote.

motion is approved by a majority of those Commissioners present, then the
Commission may ratify, rescind, or amend the decision made by their initial
vote. Provided, however, In the case of any agenda where a statute or County
ordinance requires a published notice and public hearing, then the approval of a
motion for reconsideration will operate to stay the effect of the initial vote until
the notice can be republished and a subsequent public hearing held. Upon
conclusion of the subsequent public hearing, the Commission may ratify, rescind,
or amend the decision made by the Initial vote.
No previously voted upon agenda item may be the subject of a motion for
reconsideration after the adjournment of the regular County Commission
meeting that immediately follows the meeting at which the initial vote was taken.

quasi judiCial agenda Item outside the confines of the County Commission

Request
Hi Girls,
Attached you will find a price quote for a new coffee pot for Commission Meetings. And I will
need to get 3 of them for each location and they were budgeted, but here is my problem. G FS
does not accept PO's and the price is significant compared to the Restaurant Store. GFS is
$85.99 and the Restaurant Store is $175.00. I realize I would need to set them up as a new
vendor with all the proper paper work, but would I be able to get a check cut with this quote
and be able to hand deliver it to them when I pick up the pots? If not, could you please give me
direction on how to go about getting these pot's from GFS.
Thank you!

CDBG Sewer Program
Mr. Kolhage, My name is Gilda Boza and I am the Monroe County Housing
Authority Special Programs Coordinator. Monroe County has a Community
Development Block Grant in progress that pays up to $3000.00 towards the cost
of connecting the home to the sewer system and septic tank abandonment and
$2700.00 towards the system development fee. The CDBG grant pays the
system development fee directly to the Utility Company. For the Stock Island
area, the Utility Company is KW Resort Utility Corporation.
I spoke to Mr. Doug Carter, General Manager of KW Resort Utility to advise him
that the grant could only pay the system development fee to the Utility Company
and whether K.W. Resort Utility would be able to reimburse the homeowner if the
homeowner had paid the development fee in full, or adjust the tax assessments if
the homeowner opted to incorporate the development fee on their taxes. It was
mentioned that of the $2700.00 system development fee, $2,100 goes to the
County and $600.00 goes to KW Resort Utilities. Because the County is the
Grantee of the grant, funding cannot be paid to the County, it must be paid to the
Utility Company. Mr. Carter then advised me that KW Resort Utility would not be
able to refund homeowners or make adjustments to the tax assessments without
prior approval from you. If you can please contact me at 305-292-1221 ext. 260
at your earliest convenience so we can further discuss how to resolve this
issue. Your consideration in this matter is greatly appreciated.
Please note: Florida has a very broad public records law. Most written
communications to or from the Housing Authority regarding Housing Authority
business are public records available to the public and media upon request. Your
e-mail communications may be subject to public disclosure.
