WHEREAS, the City of Parkland, FL in Broward County did not renew their Franchise
Agreement with FPL in 1993 but has continued to receive electric service as before; and
WHEREAS, Franchise Agreements are unnecessary because cities without Franchise
Agreements may continue to purchase electricity from FPL at the same rates as those with
Franchise Agreements;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI THAT:
Section 1. The City shall study all options with regards to the FPL Franchise Agreement
expiring in May of 2014 including options to develop alternate tax revenues to replace the
current revenue stream from franchise taxes imposed on rate payer's electricity bills with the
goal that, by fiscal year 2013 -14, the City will not need to rely on electricity franchise fees
revenues for operations and could refrain from entering into a new Franchise Agreement with
FPL.
Section 2. This resolution shall take effect immediately upon adoption.
