1. Editor's note. —The present Charter of the City of Miami, except-
ing the later amendments and additions thereto, was prepared and pro-
posed by a Charter Board of fifteen citizens elected at a Charter Board
election, held January 21, 1921. The Charter prepared and proposed by
such board was adopted by the electors of the city at an election held
May 17, '1921; and Chapter 9024, Special Acts of the Legislature, 1921,
validated, legalized and confirmed the proceedings in the election of the
Charter Board and the adoption of the City Charter, but did not enact
the Charter in full.
The Charter was amended by the legislature in its regular session in
1923, which was confirmed by the electorate of the city at an election
held July 17, 1923.
At the session of the legislature in 1925, the entire Charter was re-
enacted as contained in Chapter 10847, Special Acts of 1925. The Char-
ter as contained in Chapter 10847, Special Acts of 1925, has been
amended at subsequent sessions of the legislature and also by the
electorate pursuant to the provisions of section 5.03 of the Dade County
Charter. These amendments and additions are indicated by parentheti-
cal historical citations following the amended or added sections. Unless
so indicated, the section derives unchanged from the Special Acts of
1925.
For a list of the Special Acts of the Legislature of the State of
Florida which relate to the City of Miami, beginning with the enact-
ment of the entire City Charter by the legislature in 1925, which are
not included in the Charter as amendments or additions thereto, see
