Monroe County’s CAFR is prepared by the Finance Department under the direction of the Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller (Clerk). Responsibility for both the accuracy of the presented data and the completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures, rests with the Clerk as Chief Financial Officer of Monroe County, Florida (the County). We assert that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material aspects. It is presented in a format designed to fairly present the financial position and results of operations of the County as measured by the financial activity. All disclosures needed to allow the reader to gain a comprehensive understanding of the County’s financial activity have been included. The County has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed both to protect the County’s assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable accounting information for financial statement preparation in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) established by the Government Accounting Standards Board. Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the objective is to provide reasonable rather than absolute assurance that the financial statements will be free of material misstatement. In addition, the Federal Single Audit Act, the Florida Single Audit Act and Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative

    STATE OF THE COUNTY 2017/18 HOME OF THE FABULOUS FLORIDA KEYS: ON THE ROAD TO RECOVERY & RESILIENCE 2 Monroe County | monroecounty-fl.gov Monroe County – and all its citizens – have been through a lot these past few months. Our island paradise was hit by the strongest and largest storm to make landfall in the Keys in more than half a century. Hurricane Irma and her Category 4 winds and storm surge struck with fury. From Ocean Reef to Key West, no part of the Keys was spared her wrath. Some of our citizens lost their homes. Some of our citizens lost their businesses. Some areas were hit much worse than others. All of us saw our tropical island chain and blue waters transformed into a mess of barren trees, sunken boats and scattered debris. Nearly a week before the storm struck on Sept. 10, 2017, Monroe County and its Emergency Management Team began preparing specifically for Irma. We worked simultaneously to help our visitors and citizens evacu- ate to safe locations and shelters for Hurricane Irma, while also preparing to respond to whatever the storm left in her wake. As soon as the hurricane passed, Monroe County’s MESSAGE FROM Emergency Response was in high gear with help staged and ready to mobilize. It was a coordinated effort with COUNTY our five municipalities and many other responding federal, state and local entities – as well as a small ADMINISTRATOR army of volunteers who came from around the country to lend support. And, of course in the Keys, neighbors ROMAN GASTESI helped neighbors.

    BISCAYNE BAY - CARD SOUND LOBSTER SANCTUARY THE TAKING OF LOBSTER IS PROHIBITED AT ANY TIME OF THE YEAR in Biscayne Bay-Card Sound Lobster Sanctuary. The sanctuary boundary extends from the northern edge of Matheson Hammock Park east to the southern tip of Cape Florida (Key Biscayne). From Cape Florida it runs south to Soldier Key then along the eastern high water line of Soldier Key, the Ragged Keys, Boca Chita Key, Sands Key, Elliott Key, Old Rhodes Key, Swan Key, Palo Alto Key, and Angelfish Key to the southern edge of Pumpkin Creek. It turns north and then south, running along the high water line of Key Largo, following the western shore of Pumpkin Creek, the southern shores of Angelfish Creek and Little Pumpkin Creek, and the eastern edge of Card Sound to the Card Sound Bridge. From the Card Sound Bridge it runs north along the western high water lines of Little Card Sound, Card Sound, and Biscayne Bay to the northern boundary of Matheson Hammock Park. All natural, artificial, and tidal creeks between the islands and along the mainland are included in the Sanctuary and are closed to lobstering. Lobsters may be taken east of the islands during the legal seasons, except in the Legare Anchorage (see map) where swimming, snorkeling, or diving is prohibited year round. Legally taken lobsters may be transported through the Sanctuary as long as no one from the boat is overboard (in the water) while inside the Sanctuary. Florida State laws pertaining to the harvesting of spiny lobster apply to all areas within Biscayne National Park.
