Please sign three originals and return to this office as <br /> soon as possible. If you desire to make changes to the contract and want an electronic version of this <br /> document, please contact me at donlhorn@miamisao.com and I will forward you a copy. This contract is <br /> for the prosecution of ordinances only; the State Attorney's Office has no statutory authority to handle <br /> appeals relating to the constitutionality of ordinances. If you choose to not have the Office of the State <br /> Attorney prosecute municipal ordinance violations in accordance with sections 4 &5 of Chapter 2004- <br /> 265, Laws of Florida, you are requested to send a letter to that effect to the above address as soon as <br /> possible. <br /> You will be billed at the statutorily prescribed rate of $50 per hour. Our estimate is that, on <br /> average, it takes approximately 20 minutes per case; therefore, you will be charged at the rate of$16.67 <br /> per case. Please note that this is the charge for ordinance prosecution only. Pursuant to state law, there <br /> are separate charges for indigent defense from the Public Defender and filing fees from the Clerk of the <br /> Court. <br /> If you have any questions about the contract or if I can provide any other information, please do <br /> not hesitate to contact me at 305-547-0562 or at donlhorn( miamisao.com. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> KATHERINE FERNA DEZ RUNDLE <br /> State Attorney <br /> By: <br /> Don L.
