Lastly, Pinellas County asserts that the disputed portion of the appendix is properly included in the appendix as "other authority".

JUDICIAL NOTICE OF THE SCHOOL Mr. McKinney first argues the trial court erred in taking judicial notice that Lakeland Christian School is a school for purposes of section 893.13(1)(c), Florida Statutes (1991). Section 90.202(11) permits a court to take judicial notice of "facts that are not subject to dispute because they are generally known within the territorial jurisdiction of the court." Section 90.202(12) permits notice of "facts that are not subject to dispute because they are capable of accurate and ready determination by resort to sources whose accuracy cannot be questioned."

...analities." Hardy v. Johns-Manville Sales Corp., 681 F.2d 334, 347-48 (5th Cir.1982). When the concept of judicial notice was legislatively adopted in the Florida Evidence Code, Chapter 90, Florida Statutes, this historic caution was codified. Thus, section 90.202, Florida Statutes (1995), permits a court to take judicial notice of only a limited number of matters. [4] Only subsection 90.202(11), dealing with generally known *542 facts, and subsection 90.202(12), dealing with indisputable facts, could arguably provide a basis for the judicial notice in the instant case. We first consider judicial notice under subsection 90.202(12)....
...To fulfill the requirements of this provision, the facts sought to be noticed must not be subject to dispute "because they are capable of accurate and ready determination by resort to sources whose accuracy cannot be questioned." Obviously, to fit within subsection 90.202(12), accurate records or other sources must exist which establish the judicially-noticed fact....
...Here, no records or sources were before the trial court which established the "fact" of which the trial court took judicial notice. Further, on appeal, we have not been directed to any indisputable source which establishes the judicially-noticed fact in this case. Thus, judicial notice was not appropriate under section 90.202(12). Turning to subsection 90.202(11), to fulfill the requirements of this provision the noticed facts must not be subject to dispute "because they are generally known within the territorial jurisdiction of the court." This subsection is recognized to be a codification...

A. Initially, while we recognize that the court may take judicial notice of its own files, section 90.202(6), Florida Statutes (1983), such notice was wholly unnecessary in this case because the petitions for permanent commitment should have been filed as supplemental pleadings in the original dependency actions that remained pending, rather than in two new actions....

...His testimony, based on his observations from the DOC website, fell short of the preponderance standard. Ms. Green argues that she met her burden because the trial court took judicial notice that the DOC could not provide appropriate treatment. We disagree. Only section 90.202(11), Florida Statutes (2001-03), dealing with "generally known" facts, and section 90.202(12), dealing *1287 with facts that are "capable of accurate and ready determination by resort to sources whose accuracy cannot be questioned," could arguably provide a basis for judicial notice in this case. The DOC's ability to treat Ms. Green is an inappropriate subject for judicial notice under section 90.202(11), because it is not a fact that is "generally known" within the meaning of the statute. "[T]o fit within subsection 90.202(12), accurate records or other sources must exist which establish the judicially-noticed fact." Maradie v....
