1126 E. SR 434
Winter Springs, FL 32708
Dear Mr. Rozansky:
The 1987 Session of the Florida Legislature amended Florida Statutes 553 and 633,
relating to fire prevention and control, building codes, State Fire Marshal's powers, and
resolution of conflicts between building codes and minimum fire safety codes. This
legislation has been commonly referred to as H.B. 1337.
-
This Legislature adopted the National Fire Protection Association (NFP A) Life Safety
Code 101, 1985 edition, as a minimum state-wide code. Additionally, it stipulated that
one of four codes be adopted by local jurisdictions before January 1, 1988. In the event
appropriate code selection is not made at the local level, the Standard Fire Prevention
Code, 1985 edition, and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 101, Life Safety
Code, 1985 edition, become the minimum fire code.
We, the undersigned fire chiefs, have discussed the options presented by the State in
great detail. We believe strongly that the time has come to have one consistent fire
code throughout the County and all of the municipalities. The uniform adoption of one
code would accomplish the following:
1. Eliminate confusion between jurisdictions as to what codes a particular property
must comply,
2. Insure the same level of safety throughout Seminole County, and
3. Eliminate confusion for architectural design and construction people with regard
to different codes throughout the County.
We, therefore, propose the following:
1. That all jurisdictions within Seminole County adopt the National Fire Protection
Association Pamphlet 1, Fire Prevention Code, 1982 edition, and National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) Life Safety Code 101, 1985 edition, as the minimum
fire codes, and

2. That each city and the County adopt the same amendments to NFP A 1, as provided
in the code and as recommended by the fire chiefs within the County.
The above recommendation was unanimous among all of the fire chiefs within Seminole
County, and we urge each governing body to proceed as quickly as practical in the
adoption of these codes.

It has come to my attention that, as per the attached letter
from the Attorney General's office, Mr. Jacobs, as Deputy
Clerk of the Circuit Court and as City Commissioner, is in
violation of the State Constitution, Article II s. 5(a), which
prohibits dual office holding. As stated in the letter, it
does not appear that a city commissioner may serve
simultaneously as deputy court clerk without violating the
State Constitution.
We, as City Commissioners, have sworn to uphold the State
Constitution and it is our responsibility to act on this
matter immediately. We cannot allow the decisions made by
this commission to be compromised because one of our members
was not qualified to run as per the Resign-to-Run Law, s.
99.012(2) - No individual may qualify as a candidate for
public office who holds another elective or appointive office,
whether state, county or municipal, the term of which or any
part thereof runs concurrently with the term of office for
which he seeks to qualify without resigning from such office
not less than 10 days prior to the first day of qualifying for
the office he intends to seek.
According to our Charter, Section 4.0B s bl - Forfeiture of
office. A commissioner or mayor shall forfeit his office if
he lacks at any time during his term of office any
qualifications prescribed by this Charter or by law. The
Constitution is the supreme law of the State of Florida. To
comply with the law, we are required to follow the procedure
as outlined in our Charter, Section 4.09.

MEMORANDUM
FROM:
The Honorable John V. Torcaso
Mayor, city of Winter Springs
Gerry Hammond vJr
Assistant Attorney General
TO:
DATE: December 28, 1987
RE: DUAL OFFICEHOLDING--MUNICIPALITIES--CLERK OF
CIRCUIT COURT--MAYOR--applicability of dual
officeholding prohibition to city commissioner
serving as deputy clerk of court and deputy
mayor. Section 5(a), Art. II, State Const.
.
---------.-------------------------------------------------------
This is in response to your inquiry regarding whether a City
Commissioner of Winter springs may simultaneously serve as
Deputy Clerk of the Court in Seminole County and as Deputy Mayor
of the City of winter Springs without violating the prohibition
contained in s. 5(a), Art. II, State Const., against dual
of fi cehold ing.
Section 5(a), Art. II, State Const., provides in part that:
No person shall hold at the same time more
than one office under the government of the
state and the counties and municipalities
therein, except that . . . any officer may
be a member of a . . . statutory body having
only advisory powers.
ThUS, this constitutional provision prohibits a person from
contemporaneously holding more than one "office" under the
government of the state and the counties and municipalities
therein.l Section 5(a), Art. II, State Const., however, does not
define the terms "office" or .officer" for its pur~oses. The
Florida Supreme Court has stated that "[t]he term office~

implies a delegation of a portion of the sovereign power to, and
the possession of it by, the person filling the office, while an
'employment' does not2comprehend a delegation of any part of the
sovereign authority."
In a number of previously issued Attorney General's Opinions,
this office has concluded that a city commissioner is a~ officer
within the scope of the dual officeholding prohibition.
Therefore, the issue to be considered herein is whether a deputy
mayor or a deputy clerk of court is an officer.
.
You have not provided me with information regarding the particu-
lar duties and responsibilities of either the position of Deputy
Mayor of Winter springs or deputy clerk of the court. However,
this office has de~ermined in previous opinions that a maygr is a
municipal officer and that a clerk of court is an officer for
purposes of s. S(a), Art. II, State Const. Thus, to the extent
that a deputy mayor or deputy clerk performs the duties of the
office of the mayor or clerk, it would appear that such deputy is
an "officer" for purposes of the constitutional prohibition.
However, it would be advisable for the city attorney to examine
the municipal charter to determine whether the duties and
responsibilities prescribed for the Mayor of the City of Winter
Springs would qualify the mayor as an "officer."
Thus, as related herein, it does not appear that a member of a
city commission may serve simultaneously as a deputy mayor or
deputy court clerk without violating s. S(aJ' Art. II, state
Const., which prohibits dual officeholding. This conclusion
assumes that the deputy officers perform, or may be called upon
in certain instances to perform, the duties of the mayor or of
the clerk of court. Further, a determination must be made based
on an examination of the charter of the City of Winter Springs
that the mayor is an "officer" for purposes of the constitutional
prohibition.
I would also note that a public officer is prohibited by the
common law from holding two incompatible offices at the same
time, as a matter of public policy, in order to assure not only
the actuality of undivided loyalty but also the appearance
thereof.7 In this regard the issue is whether occupancy of both
offices by the same person is detrimental to the public interest
or whether the performance of the duties of one interferes with
the performance of those of the other. Incompatibility exists
where one office is subordinate to the other and subject in some

STATE, COUNTY AND MUNICIPAL OFFICERS
To: Bm Gunter, State Senator, Orlando
QUESTION:
Who are IltAte, county and municipal ofCIcers within the
purview and Intention of the lut aentence of I 5(a), Art. II, of
the 1968 State Const.?
The last lIentence of lAid 16(a), Art. II, of the 1968 State Const.,
provldell that, with certain exceptlonll, .. (n] 0 perllon IIhall hold at the I18me
time more than one office under the government of the .tate and the
counties and municipalities therein. . , ."
1 find nowhere In the 1988 Btate Con.t. any con.Ulullonal definition
of the term "orncer" as Ulled therein. In State 't. Sheall, 78 Fla. 683, 83
So. 608, text 609, the Sup. Ct. of Fla. held that:
The term "ornce" Implies a delegation of a portion of the
1I0vereilln power to, and the pOMelllllon of It by, the perRon filling
the office, while an employment does not comprehend a
delegation of any part oC the sovereign authority. The term
"office" embrAcell the Idl'a of tenure, duration, and dutlell In
exercllllng some portion of the .overelgn power, conferred or
deClned by law and not by contract. An employment dOl'lI not
authorize the exercllle In one'lI own right of any 1I0vereign power
or any prellcrlbed Independent authority of a governmental
nature; and this con.tltutes, perhaplI, the mOllt decllllve diCCerence
between an employment and an ornce, and between an employee
and an oWcer. . . . Some oWcell are merely clerical or mlnillterial;
but they are Ulleful In enforcing the powers conCerred on other
offlcerll or trlbunalll, and they are UllUally designated all ornces by
the low and have featurell of tenure and duration and of duties
prescribed by law, which differentiate an oWce from a mere
employment.

RE: Legal Opinion - dual office holding
Dear Commissioner Jacobs:
You have requested our office issue an opinion regarding
whether or not a member of the City Commission of the Ci ty of
Winter Springs, Florida, may serve as a Deputy Clerk of the
Court. Our answer to that question is that it would not violate
the dual office prohibi tion of Article II, S. 5, of the State
Constitution, for a City Commissioner to serve as a Deputy Clerk
of the Court.
Our opinion is based upon the attached March 6, 1974,
Opinion isSued by the AttOrney General of the State of Florida,
as well as, discussions with the Attorney General's office this
date.

SUMMARY:
As a deputy tax assessor Is an employee rather than an "officer," he
may scrve simultaneously as an elected school board member without
violatinJ{ the dual oflice prohibition, Art. II, s. 5, State Const. Nor are the
dutit!s of the two positions in the public service in conflict within the
purview of the Standards of Conduct Law, ss. 112.311-112.318, F. S., and
the common-law rule of Incompatibility.
Your question is answered in the affirmative.
Article II, s. 5(a), State Const., ~rohibits dual office holding under state county or
municipal I{overnments. The positIOn of elected member of a county sch~ol board is
clearly nn "office" within the purview of thnt constitutional provision. Attorney General
Opinion 1171-280. Therefore, the importnnt considcnUion IS whether the position of

The term "office" implies a delegation of a portion of sovereign power to and
the possession of it by, the person filling the office, while an employment'does
no~ comprehend a delegation of any part of the sovereign authority. The term
onlce embraces the idea of tenurc, duration, and duties in exercising some
p'ortion of the sovereign power, conferred or defined by law and not by contract.
[Stute v. Sheats, 83 So. 508 (Fla. 1919)).
~ttor:neY Generul Opinion 071.263 holds that an assistant stnte attorney is not an
olhcer lor the pUrJ>oses of Art. II, s. 5(u), State Const. Likewise, in AGO 069-5 it wus ruled
that an assistant public defender did not have the status of a government ~fficer, These

assistants rather than the substitute functions of a true deputy. See Blackburn v. Brorein,
70 So.2d 294 (Fla. 1955). Therefore, I am of the opinion that the position of deputy tax
assessor is not within the purview of Art. U, s. 5{a), State Const., and that service by a
deputy tax assessor on a county school board would not violate that constitutional
provision.
There still remains, however, the question of whether such service would violate
provisions of the Standards of Conduct Law, ss. 112.311-112.318, F. S. Section 112.313(6)
of the act formerly prohibited a public official from accepting a position of employment
which might impair his independence of judgment in the performance of his public
dutics. gvcn assuming for the purposes of argument that an individual's employment as
II dcputy tux nssessOI' would gonoratc II conflict with his duties as a county school board
memhcr. tho provision in quostion was invalidated in State v. Llopis, 257 So.2d 17 (Fla.
1971). However, the common-law rule p'rohibiting the holding of two incompatible
positions in the public service still has hfe in this state. Disqualifying incompatibility
under that rule lies in a conflict between the duties and functions of two public
employmonts or positions, as "where the duties ell-ah, inviting the incumbent to prefer
one obligation over the other." Attorney General Opinion 070-46. Applying this definition,
I do nol porcoive anysif.,rnificanl clash between the respective duties of deputy tax
assessor and county school board member which would constilute a violation of the
common law.
The only other provision of the Standards of Conduct Law that might be applicable

RE: January 11, 1988 Commission Meeting, Agenda Item C
The City Engineer found this project satisfactory on December 15, 1987 and the
Staff had no objection on December 29, 1987.
The developer is seeking a waiver to Section 44.85.4.4.g. (50' building setback
from the mean high water level of any body of water) for lots 107 and 108.
A very small portion of the lake in Sunshine Park is on lots 107 and 108. To
avoid any problems that may arise for maintenance or permitting for any work
that may need to be done on the lake, the developer is donating that portion
of the lake to the City.

RE:
January II, 1988 Commission Meeting, Agenda Item B
This is a modification to the Highland Village I Final Engineering which was
disapproved at the Commission Meeting of November 23,1987. The disapproval
was because of a proposed road cut on Sheoah Boulevard which was less than
800 feet from an intersection. The lots have been reconfigured so that they
now face a court instead of a street, thus eliminating the road cut onto Sheoah.
All else remains the same.
The City Engineer has reviewed this modification and has no objection.
Plat approval is also being requested.

Representing the project were A. Halberstadt and A. Land. Staff members
present were Artman, Govoruhk, Koch, Kozlov, Lallathin, LeBlanc,and Smith.
There were no areas of concern for the Staff.
The developer asked that the sidewalks be allowed to meander within the right-
of-way in order to save trees. The Staff had no problems with this.
