For the day of Closed Session

The following should be read at the appropriate point during the day of the closed session.
1. Prior to going into closed session.
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, U)
Assistant County Attorneys Derek Howard, Steve Williams, Peter Morris and Cynthia Hall; and a certified court reporter. y

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 .2
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 5z
Attorney Bob Shillinger who announced at a prior BOCC Meeting held on 5/20/20 that he needed advice in the
matter of Vacation Rental of the Florida Keys, LLC v. Monroe County, Case No. 19-AP-03-M. At that meeting, the
Board approved holding a closed session and public notice was given through public announcement of the
meeting at the 5/20/20 BOCC meeting and through publication of the 6/4/20 BOCC meeting agenda on the U)
County's website.
�r
For the record, and the benefit of the court reporter, each of us will state our name and position starting
with the commission.
