It was originally suggested that this be made part of the tri-party agreement which transfers the City of Miami Dept. of Water and Sewers to the Miami -Dade Water & Sewer Authority, with Metropoli- tan Dade County as the third part. The Dade County Code, Chapter 32A-7, gives the Miami -Dade Water & Sewer Author- ity the power of eminent domain and the right to place their water and sewer mains anywhere within the public rights of way without the consent of the City. In order to properly design the expansion of the gravity sanitary sewer system within the remaining parts of the City, the City must exercise its right to locate underground utilities so as not to interfere with the future sewer construction. This resolution requests the Board of County Commissioners to revise the County Code to permit the City to determine the location of water and sewer mains within the City of Miami to avoid expensive relocations that would conflict with sewer underground improvements. City Manager recommends. 39. ** Resolution authorizing the City Manager and City Clerk to receive bids for refinishing 25 SHUFFLEBOARD COURTS and refabricating a Bank Court at Lummus Park, and allocating $9,000 from Public Parks and Recreational Facilities Bond Funds to cover the cost thereof. ** Under a recent contract various shuffleboard courts were re- paired at Lummus Park.

As part of the improvement program at this park, it is desired to resurface the other 25 courts and replace the Bank Court that was removed, at an approximate cost of $9,000.
