Resolution 2439 RESOLUTION NO. 2+39 WHEREAS, a great many demands have been made on the City Council for public funds to be used to defray the cost of conventions held or proposed to be held in Miami Beach or in the Metropolitan Miami Area, and, WHEREAS, it is the belief of the City Council that the benefits to be derived from gatherings of this nature are to a large extent confined to res- taurants, hotels and apartment houses and other bus- inesses of the same or similar character which derive a direct revenue from such gatherings, and, WHEREAS, general conditions are such as to make it imperative that the assets of the City be con- served in every manner possible consistent with the progressive, orderly development of the City, to the end that tax levies be kept within the ability of the property owners to pay. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Coun- cil that it is the sense of this body that in the in- terests of the preservation of real estate values, everything within reason be done to relieve real es- tate from burdensome taxation, and, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that no appropriations be made by this City Council from public funds in the immediate future for the purpose of financing conventions or for other special purposes except of an emergency nature or for the development or pre- servation of public property.
