1. Prior to going into closed session.
r
A closed attorney-client session pursuant to Section 286.011(8), Florida Statutes, will now be held. It is .2
estimated that this meeting will take approximately thirty (30) minutes. The persons attending the meeting will
be the County Commissioners, County Administrator Roman Gastesi, County Attorney Bob Shillinger,
Assistant County Attorneys Peter Morris and Steve Williams and a certified court reporter.
Since the law prohibits any other person from being present at the closed session, the commissioners, the
County Administrator, the attorneys for the County and the court reporter will now remain in this meeting or-
room, and all other persons are required to leave the room. When the closed session is over, we will re-convene
and re-open the public meeting. This public meeting is now closed.
2. At the beginning of the closed session.
I now call this closed session to order. For the record, this meeting is being held upon the request of the County
Attorney Bob Shillinger who announced at a prior BOCC Meeting held on 7/17/19 that he needed advice in the U
matter of Monroe County BOCC v. Magnolia 101, LLC, et al., Case No. 13-945-P. At that meeting, the Board 0
approved holding a closed session and public notice was given through public announcement of the meeting at CO
the 7/17/19 BOCC meeting and through publication of the 8/21/19 BOCC meeting agenda on the County's 10
website. At the 8/21/19 BOCC regular meeting, the Board continued the closed session to a BOCC Special r_
Meeting to be held on 9/5/19 in Key West, FL. Public notice was given through public announcement of the 0
meeting at the 8/21/19 BOCC meeting and through publication of the 9/5/19 BOCC meeting agenda on the
