against Amendment 1 that would have allowed there to be restrictions on rooftop solar
panel expansion for property owners in Florida; and
WHEREAS, solar energy allows citizens to move energy consumption to a more
environmentally friendly source, providing a self-sustaining, pollution free form of
energy; and
WHEREAS, it is in the interests of the residents of the City of South Miami
("City") to and benefit from renewable energy such as solar power; and
WHEREAS, the City of South Miami is a charter member of the Green Corridor
interlocal coalition, devoted to providing renewable energy to residents of Miami-Dade
County; and

solar buying co-operatives for residents of Miami-Dade County including Sbuth Miami;

Women Voters, Florida, League of Women Voters Miami-Dade, The Green Corridor
Property Assessment Clean Energy (PACE) District, Tropical Audubon Society, Rise Up
Florida, CLEO Institute, Citizens Climate Lobby, Sustainable Miami, Resilient Miami,
Urban Impact Lab, Women's March Miami, The Unitarian Universalists Congregation of
Miami, Earth Ethics Institute, Miami-Dade College, and City of Miami Commissioner
Ken Russell's Office; and

expend funds.

COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA, THAT:
Section 1. The City Commission hereby agrees to be a sponsor of the FLSUN
solar purchasing co-ops at no cost to the City, and authorizes the City Manager to allow
