AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of an ordinance designating the Monroe County Sheriff as
the Chief Correctional Officer pursuant to F.S. 951.061 retroactive to March 1, 2009 and ratifying all
acts taken by Sheriff Ramsay, Sheriff Peryam, and Sheriff Roth in their capacities as Chief Correctional
Officer since March 1, 2009 until the date of enactment.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
Florida law allows each county commission to designate a Chief Correctional Officer for that county's
jail(s). The Monroe County Commission designated the Sheriff as its Chief Correctional Officer in
1991 through ordinance 004-1991. That ordinance was inadvertently repealed in 2009 when the
Monroe County Code was recodified. The enabling ordinance of the 2009 code- Ordinance 001-2009 -
contained a repealer clause that repealed all prior ordinances not specifically set forth in the new
County Code. The Board, the Sheriff and his predecessors have continued to operate under the
understanding that the Sheriff is and has been the Chief Correctional Officer of Monroe County since
1991. The Sheriff supports the proposed ordinance and the retroactive designation.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION:
The Board enacted Ordinance 001-2009, adopting an updated County Code.
The Board enacted Ordinance 004-1991 designating the Sheriff of Monroe County as the Chief
Correctional Officer of Monroe County.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA,
DESIGNATING THE MONROE COUNTY SHERIFF AS
THE CHIEF CORRECTIONAL OFFICER OF MONROE
COUNTY PURSUANT TO F.S. 951.061(1), RETROACTIVE
TO MARCH 1, 2009, AND RATIFYING ALL ACTIONS
TAKEN BY THE MONROE COUNTY SHERIFF AS CHIEF
CORRECTIONAL OFFICER SINCE MARCH 1, 2009;
PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR
THE REPEAL OF ALL ORDINANCES INCONSISTENT
HEREWITH; PROVIDING FOR INCORPORATION INTO
THE MONROE COUNTY CODE OF ORDINANCES; AND
PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, F.S. 951.061 authorizes county commissions of each county to designate
their respective county sheriffs as the Chief Correctional Officer of that board's county; and
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County adopted ordinance
004-1991 on February 20, 1991 which designated the "Sheriff of Monroe County as the Chief
Correctional Officer of the Monroe County correctional system with all the powers, duties and
obligations attendant upon such designation;" and
WHEREAS, in 2009, the Board enacted ordinance 001-2009 which re-codified the
"Monroe County, Florida Code" and which took effect as of March 1, 2009; and
WHEREAS, Section 2 of Ordinance 001-2009 repealed "all ordinances of a general and
permanent nature enacted on or before October 17, 2007, and not included in the Code..."
and
WHEREAS, Ordinance 004-1991 was not listed in the Monroe County, Florida Code
adopted by virtue of Ordinance 001-2009; and
WHEREAS, the Board and the Sheriff have continuously operated under the
understanding that the designation of the Sheriff as the Chief Correctional Officer under
Ordinance 004-1991 was never repealed; and
WHEREAS, the Board specifically intends for this Ordinance to have retroactive
application to March 1, 2009 to the maximum extent permitted under law and in support of that
intent the Board specifically finds that this Ordinance does not create new obligations, impose
new penalties, or impair vested rights since the obligations imposed on the Sheriff by Ordinance
004-1991 have governed the Sheriff's operation of the Monroe County Detention Center and
satellite jails since 1991; and
4647
WHEREAS, the Board finds that any repeal of Ordinance 004-1991 effectuated by
Ordinance 001-2009 was done through inadvertence and not with any intent to remove the
designation of the Sheriff as the Chief Correctional Officer of Monroe County; and
WHEREAS, Monroe Sheriff Rick Ramsay has expressed his full support for this
Ordinance and consented to the designation retroactive to March 1, 2009 in a memo dated
December 27, 2023; and

SHERIFF RICK RAMSAY
MEMORANDUM
r
TO: Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County
FROM: Sheriff Rick Ramsay
DATE: December 27, 2023
REFERENCE: Chief Correctional Officer of Monroe County
It recently came to my attention that the Commission inadvertently
rescinded its designation of the Sheriff of Monroe County as the Chief
Correctional Officer in 2009 when it adopted ordinance 001-2009.
The Commission had previously designated the Sheriff as the Chief
Correctional Officer in 1991 when it enacted ordinance 004-1991.
I have served in the Sheriffs Office since 1987 and was sworn in as
Sheriff in January of 2013. During my tenure with the Sheriff's
Office, we have operated as the County's Chief Correctional Officer
since 1991, notwithstanding the 2012 ordinance.
The Board will soon consider a proposed ordinance that re-designates
the Monroe County Sheriff as its Chief Correctional Officer
retroactive to March 1, 2009, the effective date of ordinance oo1-
2009. If adopted, the proposed ordinance would correct the 2009
inadvertent mistake. I fully support the ordinance and consent to the
designation retroactive to March 1, 2009.

county commissions of each county to designate their respective county sheriffs as the Chief Correctional

"all ordinances of a general and permanent nature enacted on or before October 17,2007,and not included in

the Sheriff have continuously operated under the understanding that the Monroe County Sheriff is designated
as the Chief Correctional Officer. It is the intent of this ordinance to formally designate the Monroe County
Sheriff as the Chief Correctional Officer,retroactive to March 1,2009,and to ratify all actions of the Sheriff
since March 1,2009.It is necessary and in the public interest that the Monroe County Sheriff continue as the
