May_, 2010
[AK number of parcel]
[Name of property owner]
[Mailing address]
Parcel Address: [Street address of parcel]
Dear Property Owner:
nis letter is to remind you that a 30 day Mandatory Connection Notice will be sent to you in
August, 2010. If you have not connected before the mandatory connection date, you will still
be charged for wastewater service to your property.
As you proceed to install your lateral connection to the central wastewater system, please remember
that you mast obtain an Approval to Proceed letter from the District, a Health Department Perrnit,
and a County Building Department Per:rnit before beginning construction. It is also you►•
responsibility to properly abandon your current onsite sewage treatment and disposal system after
the District begins to receive and treat your sewage, The abandonment must be coordinated with the
Health Department, which will assist you with completing your permit.
Before you permanently connect your house to the system you must contact the
District office at 305-451-4019 so that we may open your valve and begin to
receive sewage from your property.
If you are a condominium owner, this notice may not apply to you. Please contact your Association
management for additional information.
Sincerely,
Fhar&s& Cishburn
Charles F. Fishbaun
General Manager

FRIENDLY RENIlNDER
The Key Largo Wastewater Treatment District will soon be sending you a
30-day notice to connect. On the day you receive the notice you may make
your final connection to the sewer by calling your licensed plumber to
connect if you have contracted the job out, or, if you are working on a
homeowner's permit, by calling the District (305) 451- 4019.
Whether or not you connect within the 30-day time limit provided in the
notice, you will begin to be billed for sewer service as part of your water bill
after the 30 days have elapsed.
If you live in a condominium, your condo association will take care of the
connection, and you do not need to take any other action on your own.
The Key Largo Wastewater Treatment District will try to make the
connection process as simple for you as possible, but remember there will be
many others trying to do the connection work at the same time, so please be
patient. We have written materials explaining the connection process, and
we will be glad to assist you in completing needed paperwork. Please call or
stop by the District office.
If you have questions, or if you think this reminder does not apply to you,
please call the District office.

Dear Property Owner,
The purpose of this letter is to inform you that Monroe County, Florida has imposed a lien against your property as
a result of the above referenced code compliance action. This lien is a lien on the property that was the subject of
the code compliance action and upon any and all other real and/or personal property you own.
Our records indicate that the violation(s)remains on your property. Because your property is not in compliance the
fines continue to accrue in the amount of$200.00 per day until the property comes into compliance. A daily fine
of$200.00 per day has currently accrued for 104 days for a current total of$20,800.00.
Additionally, pursuant to F.S. §162.07(2), since the County prevailed in prosecuting the case before the Special
Magistrate for Code Compliance, the County is entitled to recover all costs incurred in prosecuting the case and
those costs are included in the lien authorized under F.S. §162.09(3). To date, these costs are $690.92 and costs
will continue to accrue until the violations are corrected and the case is closed.
Therefore,the current amount of the Monroe County lien is $21,490.92 and fines and costs will continue to accrue
until compliance is achieved and payment is received.
Failure to bring your property into compliance within 15 days may result in a referral to the Monroe County
Attorney's Office for further action.

1. Special Magistrate (SM) enters a Final. Order imposing a compliance date, fines and/or casts
after a finding of violation of Monroe County Code(s) by property owner(violator) or
r
approving a Stipulated Agreement with an agreed upon compliance date and fine amounts. The
Final Order of SM providing the compliance date, and imposing fines and/or costs is provided
to the property owner as soon as practicable. Referrals, if not made previously, are made to
other agencies in appropriate circumstances. 1
2. The final Order of the SM is recorded by Code Compliance (CC) as a lien by Code
Compliance within 14 days after the compliance date for those cases that have not achieved ,
compliance.
3. The Final Order of the SM is recorded as a lien by CC within 45 days after the compliance date
for those cases that have achieved compliance by the compliance date but have outstanding t
costs in excess of$200. 1
i
4. If compliance is not achieved within 75 days of the recording of the lien, then a re-inspection of
the property is completed by the Code Inspector assigned to the case. If the property is still not
in compliance then a demand letter including the current amount of fines and/or costs is sent to
the property owner,
5. If compliance is not achieved within 90 days of'the recording of the lien and/or the lien is not
satisfied, then. CC will research the subject property to determine:
i. if the subject property is homesteaded;
ii. if the subject property is the only property owned by property owner/violator;
iii. what efforts, if"any, the property owner has made to achieve compliance;
iv. the amount of the lien accrued to date; and
v. any other relevant factors, including but not limited to researching the status of the
property owner, i.e. any Lis Pendens filed against the property or property owner, any
pending or closed foreclosure actions, any open, pending or discharged Bankruptcy
petitions.

i
the results of the research outlined and requested further action,

i. The Code Compliance Liaison (Liaison) will schedule the motion for the next
available SM hearing for a Motion for approval to proceed with a foreclosure and/or
money judgment action;
ii. The Liaison will mail a Notice of Hearing and Notice of Motion prepared by the
Liaison and signed by the CAY to the property owner by certified mail noticing the
owner of the date, time, place and the substance (collection action, foreclosure
and/or money judgment and/or writ of attachment) of the motion;
iii. The Liaison will email/calendar a re-inspection request to the assigned Inspector to
conduct inspection prior to the next available SM hearing;
iv. The Motion hearing is heard by SM on the specified date;
v. If SM finds foreclosure or money judgment is appropriate, the Liaison will notice
the property owner of the SM's ruling and email/calendar a re-inspection request to
the assigned Inspector to conduct an inspection within 30 days of the SM ruling;
vi. CAY will seek permission from the Board of County Commissioners to file for
foreclosure or money judgment in court;
vii. The assigned Code Inspector will continue to monitor the property for compliance
through re-inspections every 90 days and attempts to notify the owner by a quick
email letter, telephone call or demand letter every 90 days to inform them that the
property is not in compliance and fines are running. The assigned Code Inspector
will. provide written updates to the CAY every 90 days.
9. Subsequent to the SM's ruling on the Motion, the CAY will place an item on the Commission's
agenda seeking the Board's direction and authorization on further enforcement and collection
efforts. Potential options for litigation include seeking injunctive relief, a money judgment for
the unpaid fines, foreclosure, or other relief. Potential non-litigation options include referral to
another agency, allowing liens to accrue, or other relief.
10. If the recommended legal action is referral to another agency, release of lien, or allowing liens
to accrue, CAY will send a written memo or email to the Director of Code Compliance
outlining recommendation.
11. Once authority is granted by SM and/or Board of County Commissioners, CC will order a title
search on non-homesteaded properties, and the assigned Code Inspector will conduct a re-
inspection after receipt of the title search. Litigation will commence after the title search is
completed and a current re-inspection is completed. The assigned Code Inspector will continue
to monitor the property for compliance through re-inspections every 90 days and attempts to
contact the property owner by a quick email letter, telephone call or demand letter every 90
days that the property is not in compliance and fines are running. The assigned Inspector will
provide written updates to the CAY every 90 days.
12. If the Board decides not to authorize injunction or enforcement litigation, a decision from the
Board could include direction to:
i. Allow lien to remain filed and accrue interest until sale or refinancing; or
ii. Release the lien; or
iii. Request CC staff to provide a progress report on compliance efforts annually at
the March BOCC meeting.
Exception—If a violation poses a serious threat to the public health, safety & welfare then immediate
permission to file an action for an inspection warrant, injunction and/or demolition may be sought with
BOCC direction.
