WHEREAS, business entities, individuals and special interest groups have approached county staff seeking
approval for usage of the County seal; and
WHEREAS, Florida Statutes Section 165.043 prohibits the use of the County seal by anyone other than a
county official or employee in the course of performing their official duties without express approval by the Board of
County Commissioners; and
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners has determined that any use other than by a County
official or employee should be very limited; and
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners has determined that non-official uses should be limited
only to those events and projects that promote a public goal related to the protection of the environment and
conservation of resources which the Board of County Commissioners has previously supported through
establishment of an advisory committee or program, or other affirmative action such as approval of a resolution or
contract;

pursuant to F.S. 165.043. It shall be the policy of the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County that
requests for use of the County seal may be brought by County staff before the Board of County Commissioners in a

concern and related to issues on which the Board of County Commissioners has already undertaken some initiative,
such as the creation of an advisory committee or implementation of a related program. The manufacture, use,
display, or other employment of any facsimile or reproduction of the county seal, except by county officials or
employees in the performance of their official duties, without the express approval of the Board of County
Commissioners is a second degree misdemeanor, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083" F.S.
2. This Resolution shall become effective upon the date of its adoption.
