A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MONROE
COUNTY, TO AUTHORIZE THE CLERK OF COURT AND COMPTROLLER TO
WRITE OFF A RECEIVABLE DEBT OF $5,872.62. THE DEBT IS A RESULT OF AN
UNPAID EDUCATIONAL REIMBURSEMENT REGARDING FORMER EMPLOYEE
MARY NAPOLI.
WHEREAS, Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (`Board') has an
Educational Assistance Program and Policy (`Policy') that provides for reimbursement to
employees of qualifying higher education costs and tuition expenses to employees; and
WHEREAS, the Policy stipulates that if an employee leaves employment before two
(2) years have passed, the employee owes back all funds paid to the employee by Monroe
County for tuition and other qualifying higher education expenses; and
WHEREAS, an employee in the Emergency Management Department, Mary
Napoli, participated in in this program, received educational reimbursements totaling
$10,411.89, and left Monroe County employment prior to the minimum two (2) year
employment period required under the Policy; and
WHEREAS,Napoli's end of employment accrued leave balance payout in the
amount of$4,539.27 was applied to her balance of tuition expenses to partially reimburse
Monroe County, leaving an outstanding balance of$5,872.62 that the County has thus far
been unable to collect from Napoli; and
WHEREAS,the Employee Services Department has consulted with the County
Attorney's Office and determined that due to factors such as Napoli having relocated outside the
State of Florida and discrepancies with Napoli's reimbursement forms, the expense of pursuing
legal action against Napoli to collect the outstanding balance of her tuition expenses would likely
outweigh any sums recovered; and
WHEREAS,the outstanding balance of$5,872.62 remains on Monroe County's
financial ledger as a pending receivable, which must be disposed of via action of the Board; and
WHEREAS,the Board now wishes to write off the amount of$5,872.62 as an
uncollectable debt.
NOW,THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF MONROE COUNTY, THAT:
The Board authorizes the Clerk of the Court and Comptroller to write off the receivable debt of
$5,872.62.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Board of County Commissioners of
Monroe County, Florida, at a regular meeting held on the 18th of June 2025.
