Resolution 10756 RESOLUTION NO. 10756
WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Dade County Code presently
recognizes and provides for the right and authority of the
various municipalities, in cooperation and with the collab-
oration of Metropolitan Dade County, to provide and maintain
appropriate traffic signs regulating and controlling the park-
ing and stopping of automotive vehicles on the streets and
other public ways of the various municipalities, and
WHEREAS, the parking and stopping of automotive vehicles
on the public ways has been adequately and efficiently regu-
lated and controlled under said Code, and
WHEREAS, the said Code properly takes into consideration
the indisputable fact that the manner of regulating and con-
trolling of the parking and stopping of automobiles and trucks
within a municipality has a direct and profound impact not only
upon businessman, merchant, resident and visitor alike, and
WHEREAS, the said Code also recognizes the basic proposi-
tion that municipal officials are, of necessity, intimately
familiar with the problems and needs of each element of the
community in relation to the problem of parking, and
WHEREAS, the present modus operandi is eminently adequate
and efficient, but
WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Dade County Commission is con-
sidering the adoption of an Ordinance amending the_ Dade County
Code, the effect of which will be to completely and totally
deprive and oust the municipalities of all right and power to
regulate and control the parking and stopping of automobiles
on all the public ways within the municipalities, and to vest
the same exclusively in Metropolitan Dade County without dis-
tinction or regard whether a particular public way be an
arterial highway or a meandering rustic lane or bridle path,
and
WHEREAS, such proposed project is so grandiose as to be
utterly impossible of fulfillment even by Metropolitan Dade
County, and would result only in incalculable harm to all,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT DULY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, that the regulation and
control, of the stopping and parking of automotive vehicles
on the public streets and ways of the City of Miami Beach is
a purely local function, never intended to be abdicated or
surrendered by the residents thereof and that the total usur-
pation thereof by Metropolitan Dade County can and will only
result in great harm and damage to the public welfare and
safety of the citizens of Miami Beach, and therefore, the City
Council of the City of Miami Beach strongly urges the Metropolitan
Dade County Commission to refuse to adopt said proposed amenda-
tory Ordinance, and thereby enable the City of Miami Beach to
continue to maintain its enviable traffic safety record, by the
judicious and experienced placement of traffic signs as follows:
