Resolution 9452 RESOLUTION NO. 9+52
WHEREAS, the City of Miami did, on the 15th day of
March, 1957, present to the Dade County members of the State
Legislature a proposed Bill whereby certain lands lying within
the corporate limits of the City of Miami Beach would be removed
therefrom and be annexed to the City of Miami for the avowed
purpose of devoting said lands to the purposes of so-called
Dodge Island Port Plan, and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Miami Beach
has heretofore duly found and determined that a Dodge Island
Port is manifestly detrimental and gravely prejudicial to the
best interests of the City of Miami Beach and its inhabitants,
and
WHEREAS, said finding and determination of the City
Council of the City of Miami Beach was then and there duly
transmitted and made known to the Dade County members of the
State Legislature, and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Miami Beach
desires to reiterate and re-emphasize said finding and determination,
and
WHEREAS, no showing has been made, nor can be made,
that the construction or operation of the so-called Dodge Island
Port demands or requires the removal of said lands from the
corporate limits of the City of Miami Beach and the annexation
thereof to the City of Miami, and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Miami Beach
has further duly found and determined that no reasonable
necessity exists for the diminution of the corporate limits of
the City of Miami Beach for the aforesaid reason or purpose,
and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Miami Beach
is of the belief that the proposed diminution of the corporate
limits of the City of Miami Beach is a matter which gravely,
profoundly and directly affects all of the citizens and residents
of the City of Miami Beach, and that normal democratic processes
require and demand that such action should not be taken without
first affording the citizens and residents of the City of Miami
Beach the opportunity of expressing their will at the polls,
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY DULY RESOLVED BY THE
CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH that the respective
members of the State Legislature representing Dade County be
and they are each hereby requested not to submit for adoption
by the State Legislature any measure, proposal or Bill having
for its purpose the diminution or alteration in any manner of
the corporate limits of the City of Miami Beach without first
affording the citizens of Miami Beach the opportunity to vote on
such issue, or in the alternative, that no such measure, proposal
or Bill be enacted without the usual and customary provision
rendering its effectiveness contingent upon and subject to the
referendum vote of the citizens of the City of Miami Beach, and
