John Szerlag City Manager City of Sunny Isles Beach 18070 Collins Avenue Sunny Isles Beach FL 33160 Dear Mr. Szerlag: Legislation passed in 2004 to implement Revision 7 to Article V of the Florida Constitution provides that the State Attorney may prosecute municipal ordinances only if (1) the ordinance violation is ancillary to a felony prosecution (s. 27.02(1), Florida Statutes), or (2) the county/municipality has entered into a contract with the State Attorney for these prosecutions (s. 27.34(1), Florida Statutes). Enclosed please find the following: 1. Proposed agreement for the prosecution of ordinance violations for the period of October 1, 2010 - September 30, 2011. Please sign three originals and return to this office as soon as possible. If you desire to make changes to the contract and want an electronic version of this document, please contact me at donlhorn@miamisao.com and I will forward you a copy. This contract is for the prosecution of ordinances only; the State Attorney's Office has no statutory authority to handle appeals relating to the constitutionality of ordinances. If you choose to not have the Office of the State Attorney prosecute municipal ordinance violations in accordance with sections 4 &5 of Chapter 2004-265, Laws of Florida, you are requested to send a letter to that effect to the above address as soon as possible. 2. Billing for ordinance violations for your jurisdiction for the period of July 1 - September 30, 2010. The billing reflects data from the Clerk of the Court's database, which list ordinance violations for which the county/municipality is being charged a filing fee pursuant to 5.27 .34( 1), Florida Statutes.
