ORDINANCE NO. 9472
AN ORDINANCE GRANTING TO FLORIDA POWER &
LIGHT COMPANY, ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS AN
ELECTRIC FRANCHISE, IMPOSING PROVISIONS AND
CONDITIONS RELATING THERETO, PROVIDING FOR
MONTHLY PAYMENTS TO THE CITY OF MIAMI, AND
PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA:
Section 1. There is hereby granted to Florida Power & Light Company (herein
called the "Grantee"), its successors and assigns, the non-exclusive right, privilege or
franchise to construct, maintain and operate in, under, upon, over and across the present
and future streets, alleys, bridges, easements and other public places in the City of
Miami, Florida (herein called the "Grantor") and its successors, in accordance with
established practice with respect to electrical construction and maintenance, for the
period of 30 years from the effective date hereof, electric light and power facilities
(including conduits, poles, wires and transmission lines, and, for its own use, telephone and
telegraph lines) for the purpose of supplying electricity to the Grantor and its successors,
and inhabitants thereof, and persons and corporations beyond the limits thereof.
Section 2. As a condition precedent to the taking effect of this grant, the
Grantee shall have filed its acceptance hereof with the Grantor's Clerk within 30 days
after final adoption hereof.
Section 3. The facilities of the Grantee shall be so located or relocated and so
erected as to interfere as little as possible with traffic over said streets, alleys, bridges
and public places, and with reasonable egress from and ingress to abutting property. The
location or relocation of all facilities shall be made under the supervision and with the
approval of such representatives as the governing body of the Grantor may designate for
the purpose, but not so as to unreasonably interfere with the proper operation of the
Grantee's facilities and service. When any portion of a street is excavated by the Grantee
in the location or relocation of any of its facilities, the portion of the street so excavated
shall, within a reasonable time and as early as practicable after such excavation, be
replaced by the Grantee at its expense and in a condition as good as it was at the time of
such excavation.
Nothing in this Section shall be construed to make the Grantor liable to the
! Grantee for any cost or expense in connection with the construction, reconstruction or
relocation of the Grantee's facilities in streets, alleys, bridges, and public places of the
Grantor made necessary by widening, paving or otherwise improving such streets, alleys,
bridges and public places, except that the Grantee shall be entitled to reimbursement of
such costs and expenses from funds available from sources other than the Grantor as may
be provided by law.
Section 4. Grantor shall in no way be liable or responsible for any accident or
damage that may occur in the construction, operation or maintenance by the Grantee of
its facilities hereunder, and the acceptance of this ordinance shall be deemed an
agreement on the part of the Grantee to indemnify the Grantor and hold it harmless
against any and all liability, loss, cost, damage or expense which may accrue to the
Grantor by reason of the negligence, default or misconduct of the Grantee in the
construction, operation or maintenance of its facilities hereunder.
Section 5. All rates and rules and regulations established by the Grantee from
time to time shall at all times be reasonable and the Grantee's rates for electricity shall
at all times be subject to such regulation as may be provided by law.
Section 6. No later than 60 days after the first anniversary date of this grant,
and no later than 60 days after each succeeding anniversary date of this grant, the
Grantee, its successors and assigns, shall have paid to the Grantor and its successors all
amount which added to the amount of all taxes as assessed, levied, or imposed (without
regard to any discount for early payment or any interest or penalty for late payment),
licenses, and other impositions (except amounts for assessments for special benefits such
as sidewalks, street paving, and similar improvements) levied or imposed by the Grantor
upon the Grantee's electric property, business, or operations, and those of the Grantee's
electric subsidiaries for the preceding tax year, will equal six (6) percent of the Grantee's
revenues from the sale of electrical energy to residential, commercial and industrial
customers within the corporate limits of the Grantor for the 12 fiscal months preceding
the applicable anniversary date.
Section 7. Payment of the amount to be paid to the Grantor by the Grantee
under the terms of Section 6 hereof for the first fiscal year of this grant shall be made in
advance by 11 estimated monthly installments commencing on the effective date of this
grant and ending on January 28, 1984. Each estimated monthly installment during the
first fiscal year of this grant shall be calculated on the basis of 90% of the Grantee's
revenues (as defined in Section 6) for the monthly billing period ending 30 days prior to
each scheduled monthly payment. The twelfth and final payment for the first fiscal year
of this grant, which shall be due no later than 60 days after the first anniversary date of
this grant, shall be adjusted to reflect any underpayment or overpayment resulting from
the 11 estimated monthly installments made for said fiscal year.
Payment of the amount to be paid to the Grantor by the Grantee under the terms
of Section 6 hereof for the second and each subsequent fiscal year of this grant shall be
made in advance by estimated monthly installments commencing 90 days after the end of
the first and each subsequent anniversary date of this grant, and each such estimated
-2-
monthly installment shall be calculated on the basis of 90% of the Grantee's revenues (as
defined in Section 6) for the monthly billing period ending 60 days prior to each scheduled
monthly payment. The final installment for the second and each subsequent fiscal year of
this grant shall be adjusted to reflect any underpayment or overpayment resulting from
estimated monthly installments made for the preceding fiscal year.
Section 8. As a further consideration of this franchise, the Grantor agrees not to
engage in the business of distributing and selling electricity during the life of this
franchise or any extension thereof in competition with the Grantee, its successors and
assigns.
Section 9. Grantor reserves the right, upon the expiration of the franchise term
herein provided, to purchase the property of the Grantee used under this grant for an
amount equal to the then existing cost of reproduction of such property, less depreciation
to date of such purchase, together with going concern value and any damages to the
remainder of Grantee's property caused by such purchase. All closing costs of such
purchase shall be borne by Grantor. Nothing herein contained shall require Grantor to
acquire Grantee's property or to renew the franchise herein granted.
Section 10. Failure on the part of the Grantee to comply in any substantial
respect with any of the provisions of this ordinance shall be grounds for forfeiture of this
grant, but no such forfeiture shall take effect if the reasonableness or propriety thereof is
protested by the Grantee until a court of competent jurisdiction (with right of appeal in
either party) shall have found that the Grantee has failed to comply in a substantial
respect with any of the provisions of this franchise, and the Grantee shall have six months
after the final determination of the question to make good the default before a forfeiture
shall result with the right in the Grantor at its discretion to grant such additional time to
the Grantee for compliance as necessities in the case require; provided, however, that the
provisions of this Section shall not be deemed exclusive of such other remedies as may be
provided by law.
Section 11. Grantor acknowledges it is fully informed concerning the existing
franchise granted by Dade County, Florida, to the Grantee herein, and accepted by the
Grantee, as set out in Ordinance No. 60-16 adopted on May 3, 1960 by the Board of
County Commissioners of Dade County, Florida. Grantor agrees to indemnify and hold
Grantee harmless against any and all liability, loss, cost, damage and expense incurred by
Grantee in respect to any claim asserted by Dade County against Grantee arising out of
the franchise set out in said Ordinance No. 60-16 for recovery of any sums of money paid
by Grantee to Grantor under the terms of this subsequent franchise agreement.- Both
Grantor and Grantee have relied on Resolution No. R-709-78 of the Board of County
-3-
Commissioners of Metropolitan Dade County, Florida in granting and accepting the
aforesaid franchise.
Section 12. Should any section or provision of this ordinance or any portion
hereof be declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such decision shall
not affect the validity of the remainder as a whole or as to any part, other than the part
declared to be invalid.
Section 13. Ordinance No. 4974, effective April 1, 1954 is hereby repealed, and
all ordinances and parts of ordinances in conflict herewith are hereby superseded to the
extent of any such conflict.
Section 14. This ordinance shall become effective on March 28, 1983 after first
having been accepted by the Grantee in accordance with Section 2 hereof.

Advertisement Requirement
Your memorandum of August 11,
1932 - For references your
memorandum to City Clerk dated
(1) August 18, 1982
This will confirm our telephone conference of August 13 concerning
the request for an opinion contained in your memorandum of August 11,
1932. After identifying the relevant issues and taking note of the
conflict in positions previously taken by different public officials,
you indicated that the franchisee is expected to give to the City the
requisite acceptance, even in the absence of our formal reply to your
request, provided that a timely advertisement is placed and further
provided that the matter is placed on the agenda for the City Commis-
sion fleeting of September 9, 1982. You then inquired whether such
advertisement may be placed and whether the matter could be placed
on that agenda.
I responded to you in the affirmative on both counts and have since
received a copy of your August 18, 1982 memorandum to the City Clerk,
requesting such .actions. I also advised you that such actions con-
stitute the prudent course to follow, pending our response to your
nequest for a legal opinion.. However, I clarified to you that in.,
the event that our opinion ultimately is that the City is required
to follow the Dade County Charter and not the provisions of Florida
Statutes §166,041, then such actions will be ineffective, as clearly
set out in the second page of your memorandum to the City Manager
dated August 11, 1992, a copy of which is attached. On the other
hand, if a,ir t)Inion ultimately is that the City is required to follow
l'lorida Stat�ite, 6166.041, then such actions will have been taken in
a timely manner, permitting the enactment and implementation of the
subject Ordinance.
In light of the foregoing, you have indicated that our formal opinion
on the ultimate issue involved is no longer needed prior to August 29,
1932, 1 have promised you a speedy resolution, but in light of the
importance of the issue involved, I shall not do so by August 29, in
order to permit this office to give full and thorough consideration
to the matter.

Florida Power & Light Company
(FP&L) Franchise Ordinance
Advertisement Requirement
(5)
The attached request for legal opinion for your approval is necessary in order
to complete the Florida Power & Light Company franchise renewal process.
There are two procedures that relate to the passing of City of Miami ordinances.
The first procedure is described in the"Municipal Home Rule Powers Act," F.S. 166.041
(3)(a):
"Except as provided in paragraph (c) a proposed ordinance may be read
by title, or in full, on at least 2 separate days and shall, at least
7 days prior to adoption, be noticed once in a newspaper of general
circulation in the municipality. The notice of proposed enactment
shall state the date, time, and place of the meeting, the title or
titles of proposed ordinances, and the place or places within the
municipality where such proposed ordinances may be inspected by the
public. Said notice shall also advise that interested parties may
appear at the meeting and be heard with respect to the proposed
ordinance."
(dote: Paragraph (c) relates to the adoption of Municipal Zoning
Ordinances which the City has complied with since January 1982.
The second procedure is established under the Dade County Charter which operates as
an wib rella over certain municipal functions which authority comes from Article V111,
Section 11 of the Florida Constitution. This constitutional provision grants to
Dade County certain specific powers in establishing authority over municipalities
that are not granted to any other county in Florida.
In a 1977 opinion the City Attorney, in essence, determined that the Dade County
Charter provisions were superior to the Florida Statute 166.041 in the passage of
municipal ordinances and that the City of Miami was fulfilling its charter require-
ments under the authority of the Dade County Charter.
In December the uncontested opinion of the Circuit Court of Appeals in Rolle v.
the City of Miami determined that the City of Miami does come under the"Municipal
llume Rule Powers Act" and that the charter provision requiring an election to approve
franchises constituted an unauthorized restriction on the City. This ruling reflects
a 1980 ruling by the Supreme Court which held invalid Section 74 of the City Charter.
TO: Howard V. Gary -2- DATE: August U. 1%2
FROM: Clark Merrill RE: FPRL franchise Ordinance
Advertiserent RequirSO"t
This case dealt with a plaintiff's unsuccessful asertion that an election should
be required in the issuance of revenue bonds.
The issue, therefore, appears to be:
1. If the City is required to follow F.S. 166.041 then:
a) A proper advertisement must be placed prior to
adoption of the franchise ordinance.
b) No election is required.
2. If the City is required to follow the Dade County Charter
then:
a) No advertisement is required prior to the adoption
of the franchise ordinance.
b) An election is required to obtain voter approval of
the franchise ordinance.
The attached legal opinion places the question before the City Attorney which would
determine the City's process in approving the FPRL ordinance in order that it may
withstand any possible future court challenge on this issue. It is necessary that
this question be resolved in order to protect the City's franchise agreement with
FPRL which will convey to the City over one-half billion dollars over the life of
the franchise.

and public places, and with reasonable egress from and ingress to abutting property. The
location or relocation of all facilities shall be made under the supervision and with the
approval of such representatives as the governing body of the Grantor may designate for

Grantor by reason of the negligence, default or misconduct of the Grantee in the
construction, operation or maintenance of its facilities hereunder.

either party) shall have found that the Grantee has failed to comply in a substantial _
respect with any of the provisions of this franchise, and the Grantee shall have six months

Your memorandum of August 11,
1932 For references your
memorandum to City Cleric dated
August 13, 1982 ✓
This will confirm our telephone conference of August is concerning
the request for an opinion contained in your memorandum of August 1.1,
1932. After identifying the relevant issues and taking note of the
conflict: in positions previously taken by different public offi-cials,
you indicated that the franchisee is expected to give to the City_ the
requisite acceptance, even in the absence of our formal reply to your
request, provided that a timely advertisement is placed and further
provided that the matter is placed oil the agenda for the City Commis-
sion fleeting of September 9, 1982. You then inquired whether such
adverLisemerat may be placed and whether the matter could be placed
on that agenda.
I responded to you in the affirmative on both counts and have since
received ,i copy of your August 18, 1982 memorandum to the City Clerk,
requesting such actions. I also advised you that such actions con-
stitute the prudent course to follow, pending our response to your
request for a legal opinion.. however, I clarified to you that in.
the event that- our opinion ultimately is that the City is required
to follow the Dade County Charter and not the provisions of Florida
Statutes §166.041, then such actions will be ineffective, as clearly
set out in the second page of your memorandum to the City Manager
dated August 11, 1982, a copy of which is attached. On the other
liand, if: our opinion ultimately is that the City is required to follow
I'lorida Statutes §166.041, then such actions will have been taken in
a timely manner, permitting the enactment and implementation of the
sub.jecL Ordinance.
I-n Eight of the foregoing;, you have indicated that our formal opinion
Oil the ul_Limate issue involved. is no longer needed prior to August 29,
1-9,2. I have promised you a speedy resoluLi-on, but in light of the
importance of the issue' involved, I shall not do so by August 29, in
order to permit this office to give full and thorough consideration
Lo the matter.

TO: Howard V. Gary -2- DATE: August; 11, 982
FROM: Clark; Merrill RE: FP&L Franchise Ordinance
Advertisement Requirement
This case dealt with a plaintiff's unsuccessful asertion that an election should
be required in the issuance of revenue bonds,
The issue, therefore, appears to be:
1. If the City is required to follow F.S. 166.041 then:
a) A proper advertisement must be placed prior to
adoption of the franchise ordinance.
b) No election is required.
2. If the City is required to follow the Dade County Charter
then:
a) No advertisement is required prior to the adoption
of the franchise ordinance.
b) An election is required to obtain voter approval of
the franchise ordinance.
The attached legal opinion places the question before the City Attorney which would
determine the City's process in approving the FUL ordinance in order that it may
withstand any possible future court challenge on this issue. It is necessary that
this question be resolved in order to protect the City's franchise agreement with
FP&L which will convey to the City over one-half billion dollars over the life of
_
the franchise.

Dear Mayor Ferre:
It has come to our attention that on Thursday,
July 29, 1982 the City of Miami has scheduled a public
hearing for consideration of the renewal of the
franchise agreement with Florida Power & Light Company.
It is our understanding that the City Manager and
your staff has recommended renewal of the franchise
agreement under the terms agreed upon by both sides.
While the Latin Chamber of Commerce cannot evaluate
the merits of the individual franchise agreement
items, we understand the financial significance of
having the franchise renewed for the City of Miami.
Recognizing the excellent services provided by FPL
and the significant contributions that it makes to
this community, we wish to endorse the recommendations
made by the City Manager.
We thought we would write you this letter so that our
thoughts can be available in writing at the public
hearing.
Very truly ours,
Luis Sabines - loy Gonzal z-
President Secretary

Dear Mayor Ferre:
The Miami -Dade Chamber of Commerce expresses its affirmation of
franchise renewal between the City of Miami and Florida Power and
Light Co.
The Florida Power & Light Co. has been very active in supporting
Black economic and community development. As a concerned utility
corporation, it has served our community efficiently and has pro-
vided a local branch to service our Liberty City community.
We give our full support to FP&L and to the City of Miami in renew-
ing this franchise agreement.
