MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable Mayor and Me beroflthe,(ity Commission
FROM: Victoria Mendez, City Attorri
DATE: November 1, 2013
RE: Proposed Ordinance for Commission Meeting — November 21, 2013
File ID No. 13 -01313
The attached proposed Ordinance is being presented for consideration to amend Chapter
10 of the City Code.
The first proposed change is to amend Section 10-101(k)(6) to reflect the maximum
statutory interest rate contained in Florida Statute 172.09. The current code section provides for
a rate of 12%, the change will allow the City to mirror the statutory rate without the need for
additional code amendments.
The second proposed change is to amend Section 10-101(1)(3)(d) to correct a
grammatical error.
The third proposed change is to amend Section 10-101(1)(5) to clarify the role of the City
Attorney to the Unsafe Structure Panel. The current code section requires the City Attorney to
represent and advise the panel. The changes to the section clarify that the City Attorney cannot
represent both the panel and the City when presenting cases.
