WHEREAS, government in Florida is conducted in the sunshine pursuant to Chapter 286, Florida Statutes, thereby enabling the public to voice its opinions to local elected public officials; and WHEREAS, subsequent to a court decision finding an ex -parte communication to create a rebuttable presumption of prejudice and sufficient, if not rebutted, to invalidate a quasi-judicial action taken by a county commission, the legislature enacted Sec. 286.0115, F.S.; and WHEREAS, Section 286.0115, Florida Statutes sets forth certain requirements regarding the access to local public officials in connection with subsequent quasi - judicial proceedings, particularly such hearings on local government land use matters; and WHEREAS, the promulgation of an ordinance or resolution setting forth those procedures specified in paragraphs 1 through 4 of subsection (c) of Sec. 286.0115 and adherence to those procedures shall remove the presumption of prejudice arising from ex parte communications with county officials; and WHEREAS, Sec. 286.0115 allows, but does not require, a county to adopt by ordinance or resolution the statutory requirements in order for those requirements to apply; and WHEREAS, it is desired to set forth the statutory requirements and such supplemental requirements as may be adopted by means of a resolution; NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County, that: SECTION 1. Monroe County Code, Chapter 2, Article III, Division 7 is hereby created to read: Section 2 -220. Ouasi - Judicial Proceedings (a) Definitions. (1) Local public official means any elected or appointed public official holding a county office who recommends or takes quasi - judicial action as a member of a board or commission. The term does not include a member of the board or commission of any state agency or authority. (2) Ex parte communications mean communications made in the absence of one or more of the affected parties. Quasi - Judicial Proceedings and Ex Parte Communications (3) Quasi-judicial act means the action of public officers applying regulations or rules to facts determined through a decision - making process. (4) Legislative act means the formulation of policy and adoption of a regulation or rule through which that policy is implemented. (b) Distinction between quasi - judicial and legislative acts. A quasi - judicial act determines the rules of law applicable, and the rights affected by them, in relation to past transactions, while a legislative or administrative order prescribes what a rule or administrative duty shall be with respect to transactions to be executed in the future. (c) Ex Parte Communications (1) Generally Allowed. Any person not otherwise prohibited by statute, charter provision, or ordinance may discuss with any local public official the merits of any matter on which action may be taken by any board or commission on which the local public official is a member. If adopted by county or municipal ordinance or resolution, adherence to the following procedures shall remove the presumption of prejudice arising from ex parte communications with local public officials. a. The substance of any ex pane communication with a local public official which relates to quasi - judicial action pending before the official is not presumed prejudicial to the action if the subject of the communication and the identity of the person, group, or entity with whom the communication took place is disclosed and made a part of the record before final action on the matter. b. A local public official may read a written communication from any person. However, a written communication that relates to quasi - judicial action pending before a local public official shall not be presumed prejudicial to the action, and such written communication shall be made a part of the record before final action on the matter. c. Local public officials may conduct investigations and site visits and may receive expert opinions regarding quasi-judicial action pending before them. Such activities shall not be presumed prejudicial to the action if the existence of the investigation, site visit, or expert opinion is made a part of the record before final action on the matter. d. Disclosure made pursuant to subparagraphs (a), (b), and (c) must be made before or during the public meeting at which a vote is taken on such matters, so that persons who have opinions contrary to those expressed in the ex parte communication are given a reasonable opportunity to refute or respond to the communication. This subsection does not subject local public officials to part III of chapter 112 for not complying with this paragraph. Quasi - Judicial Proceedings and Ex Parte Communications (2) Limitations on Ex Parte Communications. Pursuant to court opinions regarding unfair labor practices, no ex parte communications are allowed between the county commissioners and either members or representatives of the union, or members of management during a period of impasse. As other matters are identified for which ex pane communications are prohibited by law, this provision may be updated by ordinance or resolution. (d) Minimum Procedures to be Followed in a Quasi-judicial Proceeding Individual boards and commissions having authority to perform quasi - judicial functions, such as the Board of County Commissioners, Planning Commission, Contractors Examining Board, and the Construction Board of Adjustments and Appeals may adopt procedures additional to the following. Hearsay evidence may be used for the purpose of supplementing or explaining any direct evidence but shall not be sufficient in itself to support a finding unless it would be admissible in civil actions. At a minimum, all quasi-judicial proceedings shall provide the following: (1) Reasonable notice in advance of the proceeding; (2) An opportunity to call and examine witnesses; (3) An opportunity to introduce evidence; (4) An opportunity to cross examine witnesses; and (5) An opportunity to rebut evidence. (e) Rules Governing Quasi-judicial Proceedings on Local Government Land Use Matters (1) In a quasi-judicial proceeding on local government land use matters, a person who appears before the decision - making body who is not a party or party - intervenor shall be allowed to testify before the decision - making body, subject to control by the decision - making body, and may be requested to respond to questions from the decision - making body, but need not be sworn as a witness, is not required to be subject to cross - examination, and is not required to be qualified as an expert witness. The decision - making body shall assign weight and credibility to such testimony as it deems appropriate. A party or party - intervenor in a quasi-judicial proceeding on local government land use matters, upon request by another party or party - intervenor, shall be sworn as a witness, shall be subject to cross - examination by other parties or party- intervenors, and shall be required to be qualified as an expert witness, as appropriate. (2) In a quasi-judicial proceeding on local government land use matters, a person may not be precluded from communicating directly with a member of the decision - making body by application of ex parte communication prohibitions. Disclosure of such communications by a member of the decision - making body is not required, and such nondisclosure shall not be Quasi- Judicial Proceedings and Ex Parte Communications presumed prejudicial to the decision of the decision - making body. All decisions of the decision - making body in a quasi - judicial proceeding on local government land use matters must be supported by substantial, competent evidence in the record pertinent to the proceeding, irrespective of such communications. SECTION 2. INCLUSION IN THE BOCC ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES. Procedure 1.03(1) of the BOCC Administrative Procedures, is hereby amended to incorporate the provisions contained herein, for use by Monroe County in the conduct of quasi-judicial hearings.
