is redeemed at the clerks office payment of the current years tax is
not required as a prerequisite to the redemption of such property, and
WHEREAS, the failure of the Circuit court clerk to require the
payment of current taxes in connection with the redemption of property
sold for city taxes militates against the financial interests of the
city by creating in the minds of prospective purchasers of city tax
certificates misgivings and fear that they --?ill not be protected in the
payment of the current years taxes,
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the city council of the City of
South Miami that Mr. E. B. Leatherman, Clerk of the Circuit Court of
Dade County, be and he is hereby respectfully advised of the contention
of this council and he is hereby requested to demand hereafter, the
payment of the current years city taxes before or at the time c£ the
redemption of city tax certificates. A regularly issued tax receipt
for current years taxes shall be deemed satisfactory evidence of the
payment of such taxes.
