117 S.Ct. 1382 (citing Monell, 436 U.S. at 694, 98 S.Ct. 2018). When a local government official’s decisions are unre-viewable within the governing structure, those decisions may fairly be said to represent official as well as final policy because within that official’s sphere of discretion, she is the vessel through which the municipality acts. See id. That authorizing legislation requires an official to make her decisions based on “merit and fitness alone” makes her authority no less final when that official herself is the sole determiner of whether that standard has been met. See Praprotnik, 485 U.S. at 126, 129, 108 S.Ct. 915 (plurality opinion); see also, id. at 145 n. 7, 108 S.Ct. 915 (Brennan, J., concurring); Martinez v. City of Opa-Locka, 971 F.2d 708, 714-15 (11th Cir.1992) (<HOLDING>); Melton v. Oklahoma City, 879 F.2d 706, 724-25
