AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of a resolution revising the effective date for inspections required

ITEM BACKGROUND: Section 4 of Ordinance 37-2003, adopted by the Board of County Commissioners
on October 15, 2003, amending the County's floodplain regulations, established January 1, 2004, sets the
effective date for the new inspection requirements of Section 9.5-319, Monroe County Code. Unfortunately,
this date is prior to the effective date of the ordinance, which go through DCA approval process under Chapter
380, Florida Statutes.
The new effective date of April 4, 2004, for the inspection requirements of Section 9.5-319, will provide the
opportunity for the Growth Management Division to prepare administrative and education materials and the
program to implement this inspection requirement. It will provide the Division with more time to train
inspectors and educate the public and real estate community about the inspection requirements of the program.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOARD ACTION: Adopted Ordinance 37-2003, amending the floodplain
regulations and establishing the inspection requirement.
