Resolution 9665 RESOLUTION NO. 9665
WHEREAS the voters of Dade County on the 21st day of May, 1957, adopted
a "Home Rule" Charter having as its primary objectives Home Rule for Dade
County and its several municipalities, and to provide a means by which metro-
politan government might perform services county-wide in their application
which could not be effectively provided by the individual cities, and
WHEREAS in implementing said Charter these primary objectives have been
disregarded and ignored to the detriment of self-government in Miami Beach
and other Dade County cities, and
WHEREAS a referendum election has been called by the County Commissioners
of Dade County to be held on February 11 , 1958, for the purpose of voting on
a proposed amendment to said Charter which will preserve the autonomy of cities
and yet assure the functioning of metropolitan government in accordance with
the preamble of said Charter, and the Home Rule amendment,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Miami
Beach, Florida, that the interpretation of the Charter as now written is
inimical to the best interests of Miami Beach and its citizens and is contrary
to the intent of many of the drafters of said Charter, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the said City Council approves and endorses
the proposed amendment to said Charter as a means of preserving self-govern-
ment by the cities and yet permitting Metro Government to fulfill its intended
purpose, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that all citizens of Miami Beach be urged to go
to the polls on February 11 , 1958, and vote for said amendment.
PASSED AND ADOPTED THIS 2ND DAY OF JANUARY, 1958.
