Resolution 9655 RESOLUTION NO . 9655
WHEREAS, on the 20th day of February, 1957, the City Council
of the City of Miami Beach, Florida, passed and adopted Ordinance
No. 1247, which provided that no tax sales shall hereafter be held
for the non-payment of taxes but that, in lieu of such sale, the
City shall file notice of tax liens for such delinquent taxes in the
office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court in and for Dade County,
Florida; and
WHEREAS, such change in the method of handling delinquent
City taxes has obviated the necessity of maintaining a reserve for
the purpose of purchasing tax sale certificates on behalf of said
City, as provided for in Resolution No. 5585, passed and adopted
by the City Council on July 22, 1942, but
WHEREAS, such change of methods will prevent the purchase
of the liens for unpaid taxes by persons or corporations other than
the City itself, thus automatically increasing the amount of
uncollected taxes which must be carried by said City; and
WHEREAS, great increases from other causes may occur in
any one or more of future years in the amount of uncollected taxes
to be carried by the City as aforesaid; and
WHEREAS, it is evident that in some future fiscal years
the amounts provided for in the budgets of the City for uncollected
taxes will fall short of the actual amount of uncollected taxes during
such fiscal years and in other fiscal years the amounts provided for
in the budgets will exceed the amount actually uncollected;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, that the balance now remaining in
the Special Fund created by Resolution No. 5585 as aforesaid, shall
be held and used solely for the purpose of making up the difference
-•between the amounts provided for in future budgets of the City
for uncollected taxes and the amount of uncollected taxes actually
accruing in the fiscal year to which such budget applies.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that all portions of such reserves
as shall be set aside for uncollected taxes in the budgets for the
current fiscal year and for future fiscal years which shall remain
unused at the end of the respective fiscal years shall be added to
said Special Fund for the purpose aforesaid.
PASSED and ADOPTED this 18th day of December, A. D.
1957 .
