PROVIDING FOR INCORPORATION INTO THE MONROE
COUNTY CODE OF ORDINANCES; AND PROVIDING FOR AN

WHEREAS, this Ordinance is enacted under the emergency provisions of section 125.66(3),
Florida Statutes and the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County, Florida hereby waive the
notice requirements of subsection (2) of 125.66, Florida Statutes, by a four -fifths vote and declares an
emergency exist and that the immediate enactment of this Ordinance is necessary; and
WHEREAS, the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners intent to make this ordinance
effective retroactively to September 4, 2017, the date Governor Scott declared a State of Emergency due
to Hurricane Irma; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with Metropolitan Dade County v. Chase Federal Housing
Corporation, et al., 737 So.2d 494 (Fla 1999) that provides that a retroactive provision of a legislative
act is valid, so long as vested rights are not adversely affected or destroyed or a new obligation or duty is
created or imposed, or an additional disability is established in connection with transactions or
considerations previously had or expiated, the Monroe County Board of County Commissioner finds
that this ordinance may be retroactive; and
WHEREAS, the County has authority to adopt this ordinance pursuant to Sec. 252.38, Florida
Statutes, as may be amended; and
WHEREAS, under Section 252.38(3)(a), Florida Statutes, in the event of a declaration of state
of local emergency, the political subdivision has the power and authority to waive procedures and
formalities otherwise required of the political subdivision, pertaining to various things, including
performance of public works and taking whatever prudent action is necessary to ensure the health, safety
and welfare of the community, incurring obligations, and appropriation and expenditure of public funds;
and
WHEREAS, it is the intent of the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners, in enacting
this ordinance, to take a proactive approach to coordinating and managing debris removal operations
both on land and in canals as part of its overall emergency management plan, recognizing that counties
Page 1 of 7
with a disaster - generated debris removal management plan are better prepared to restore public services
and ensure the public health and safety in the aftermath of disaster; and
WHEREAS, even though debris removal from private roads and gated communities and canals
following a disaster is generally the responsibility of the individual adjoining private property owners, a
major or catastrophic disaster event may result in enormous quantities of debris from private property
being placed on private roads and in canals for removal, resulting in widespread immediate threats to the
life, public health, and safety of the County's citizens, and F.S. 252.38(3) gives the County broad
powers to take actions to protect health and safety while under a declaration of local emergency; and
WHEREAS, the County has determined that private property debris removal is necessary to
protect the public health and safety in a declared emergency when such debris poses a significant and
immediate threat; and
WHEREAS, the presence of submerged vessels, propane tanks and other debris in canals creates
a high concern that these items may leach hazardous materials into the waterways; and
WHEREAS, Florida Attorney General's opinions regarding use of public funds on private
property for health and welfare of the community, as documented in AGO 98 -22 and AGO 2002 -48,
indicate that the ability to remove debris from private property is firmly established by Florida law if the
general public's welfare is at stake; and
WHEREAS, the removal of such debris is critical for emergency access by police and fire
vehicles and to prevent additional hazards; and
WHEREAS, the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Public Assistance
Program provides for reimbursement for removal of disaster - related debris from public rights -of -way
and will determine eligibility for removal of debris from private roads and gated communities on a case
by case basis; and
WHEREAS, in determining eligibility under the Public Assistance Program for private roadway
and gated community and canal debris removal, FEMA and the State must be able to reach the following
conclusions in relation to the work in question:
I . Removal was the legal responsibility of an eligible applicant (County):
2. It was necessary in the public interest to eliminate an immediate threat to life, public
health and safety; and
3. The Federal government was held harmless and indemnified for all claims or loss or
damages resulting from the work; and
WHEREAS, the County needs to be able to act quickly to mitigate threats during and
immediately after emergency situations; and
WHEREAS, the efficient and safe removal of disaster related debris will promote the economic
recovery of the community and benefit the community -at- large;
Page 2 of 7
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA:
SECTION 1 : Section 11 -2 shall be created to read as follows:
11.2 Disaster - generated Debris Removal
11.2.1 Intent and purpose.
After declaration of a disaster in accordance with this chapter, the primary mission of the county
will be to protect lives and property, restore governmental services and clear public streets and canals.
Depending on the magnitude of the disaster and after accomplishment of the primary mission, resources
may be available to the county that may not be available to a private property owner. This article will
establish a process by which the county may evaluate and, if necessary, remove disaster - generated
debris from private rights -of -way or gated communities or canals in the event of an immediate threat to
life, public health and safety after a significant disaster. While the county recognizes that, as a general
proposition, the removal of disaster - generated debris from private property is the responsibility of the
property owner, there are occasions when, because of the magnitude of the disaster and the threat posed
to life, health, and safety, there may be a compelling need to remove debris from private rights -of -way
and gated communities and canals as described in this article.
11.2.2 Definitions
The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this chapter, shall have the meanings
ascribed to them in this section, except where the context clearly indicates a different meaning:
Canal means an artificial waterway constructed to allow the passage of boats or other waterways
inland.
County work forces means officers, employees, and agents of the County including, but not
limited to, contractor retained by the County to push, remove, store, or dispose of disaster - generated
debris or to otherwise act in response to the implementation of the County's disaster - generated debris
removal management plan.
Disaster - generated debris or debris means any material, including trees, branches, personal
property, marine vessels, and building material deposited on county -owned property or rights -of -way or
on private roads or in canals as a direct result of a major disaster or a catastrophic disaster.

responsibility of the County. The term includes, but is not limited to, roads owned and maintained by
homeowners' associations, including gated communities, mobile home parks and roads for which no
individual or entity has claimed or exercised maintenance responsibility, and canals. The term also
includes the land under common ownership immediately adjacent to the travel lane or paved surface, or
if no such common ownership exists, the land lying within the three -foot roadside shoulder area on both
sides of the travel lanes or paved surface of such road.
Public right -of -way means land owned or controlled by the County and intended to be used for
public passage, including but not limited to streets, alleys, sidewalks, canals, bike path, parkage and
driveways constructed thereon.
11.2.3 Removal of debris from private rights -of -way.
Following issuance of a local declaration of emergency in accordance with Chapter 252, Florida
Statutes and Monroe County Ordinance No. 028 -1987, as may be amended from time to time, the
County shall have the right of entry and authority to remove disaster - generated debris located within
unincorporated Monroe County on County -owned property, canals (whether privately or publicly
owned), County -owned roads and from private rights -of -way when such debris is determined to pose an
immediate threat to the health, safety and welfare of the community. Pursuant to the authority set forth
in article I of this chapter, the emergency management director shall determine whether there is an
immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare sufficient to warrant removal of said debris
based on one or more of the following factors:
Page 4 of 7
(a) There is a significant likelihood that rescue vehicles will be significantly hindered from
rendering emergency services to residential and commercial property should the debris be
allowed to remain in place absent county removal.
(b) The type of debris is such that it may reasonably cause disease, illness, or sickness which could
injure or adversely affect the health, safety, or general welfare of those residing and working in
the area if it is allowed to remain.
(c) The clearing is necessary to effectuate orderly and expeditious restoration of county -wide utility
services including, but not limited to, water, sewer, power and telecommunications.
(d) The debris prevents garbage collection thereby creating a public health and safety hazard.
(e) The debris inhibits access to school buses and mass transit thereby interrupting recovery and
normalization post- disaster.
(f) The debris becomes a fire hazard which is susceptible to igniting and causing damage to property
and risking the safety of the public.
(g) The debris causes obstruction to mail boxes restricting the public's access to send and receive
important documents.
(h) The debris is likely to harbor vermin and reptiles that are potentially poisonous.
(i) The debris contains contaminants which have a reasonable likelihood of leeching into the soil
and /or aquifer of the county.
(j) The debris has a substantial negative impact in preventing or adversely affecting emergency
repairs to buildings and /or property.
(k) The debris presents a reasonable danger of being transported by wind and /or water into the
surrounding areas of the county and thereby increasing the cost of recovery and removal.
(1) The debris poses a significant likelihood of, if left over time, producing mold which would be
injurious to public health.
(m) The presence of the debris significantly adversely impacts the county's recovery efforts.
(n) The debris significantly interferes with drainage or water runoff, so as to be a significant hazard
in the event of significant rainfall.
(o) The sheer volume of the debris is such that it is impractical and unreasonable to remove in an
orderly and efficient manner absent action by the county.
(p) The type, extent and nature of the debris is such that it would cause much greater damage if the
debris was not removed immediately.
(q) The debris in the canals, including submerged or partially submerged vessels and other debris, is
rendering the canals impassible or extremely dangerous to vessels, preventing movement down
the canals by first responders as well as citizens in the area.
11.2.4 Responsibility of private property owners.
(a) Any individual who places debris in the private or public rights -of -way shall be responsible for
assuring that the placement of any disaster - generated debris for removal by county work forces
satisfies each of the following conditions:
(1) The disaster - generated debris shall be neatly stacked, piled, or placed with its leading
edge lying within the three -foot roadside shoulder area on either side of the travel lanes
of the road.
Page 5 of 7
(2) The disaster - generated debris shall be separated into stacks or piles of the following types
of debris:
a. Putrescent debris and mixed common household items.
b. Vegetative debris.
C. Construction and demolition debris.
d. White goods.
e. Hazardous household waste and electronic waste.
(3) The disaster - generated debris shall be placed so that it does not block the roadway, traffic
signs and signals, or stormwater structures.
(4) The disaster - generated debris shall be placed so that it is not under any power lines, not
on top of any water meters, or not within three (3) feet of any power poles, fire hydrants,
vehicles, mailboxes, or fences.
(b) Any damage to personal property by county work forces resulting from the placement of
disaster - generated debris in a manner inconsistent with this section shall be the responsibility of
the private property owner, or individual otherwise in possession of private property, who
misplaced such debris.
(c) Any owners of private property, or any individuals otherwise in possession of private property,
who stack, pile, or otherwise place anything for removal on county rights -of -way or on private
roads which is deemed not to be disaster - generated debris, shall be responsible for removing
such unauthorized debris no later than twenty -four (24) hours after notification of such removal
requirement by a member of the county work forces. Any such owner or other individual who
fails to timely comply with such removal requirement shall thereafter be responsible for any
costs associated with the removal of such unauthorized debris by county work forces.
11.2.5 Indemnification and hold harmless.
Prior to removal of debris from private rights -of -way by the county, as contemplated herein, each
property owner adjacent to a private road or street or gated community association shall indemnify and
hold harmless, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Federal, State, and local government and all
employees, officers and agents of the Federal, State, and local government connected with the rendering
of such service.
11.2.6 Emergency roadway clearance.
Nothing contained herein shall preclude a first response by the county to clear and push debris
from all rights -of -way (both public and private) necessary for the movement of emergency vehicles
including police, fire and ambulance within the first 70 hours after a disaster declaration.
SECTION 2: SEVERABILITY. If any portion of this ordinance is for any reason held invalid or
declared to be unconstitutional, inoperative or void, such holding shall not affect the remaining portions
of this ordinance. If this ordinance or any provision thereof shall be held to be inapplicable to any
person, property or circumstances, such holding shall not affect its applicability to any other person,
property or circumstances.
SECTION 3: CONFLICT WITH OTHER ORDINANCES. All ordinances or parts of ordinances in
conflict with this ordinance are hereby repealed to the extent of said conflict.
Page 6 of 7
SECTION 4: INCLUSION IN CODE OF ORDINANCES. The provisions of this ordinance shall be
included and incorporated in the Code of Ordinances of the County of Monroe, Florida, as an addition or
amendment thereto, and shall be appropriately renumbered to conform to the uniform numbering system
of the Code.
SECTION 5: TRANSMITTAL AND EFFECTIVE DATE. The Ordinance shall have retroactive
application to September 4, 2017. This Ordinance is enacted under the emergency provisions of section
125.66(3), Florida Statutes. The Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County, Florida hereby
