Manager's office on July 28, 1958. All members of the Council were
present with the exception of Mr. Rudnick. The Village Manager and the
Village Attorney were also present.
After discussing the recent court action concerning our suit
against Metro, the following statement was released:
"On Friday, July 25th, the Supreme Court
of Florida entered an order setting aside in effect Judge
Pat Cannon's decree which enjoined Miami Shores
Village from enforcing its own traffic ordinance and
required it to enforce the Metropolitan traffic code..
"The order was entered on an appeal which
Miami Shores Village took from the Circuit Court
decree. The decree was entered in a suit which the
Village brought against the County Commissioners
in which the Court was asked to resolve certain conflicts
between the Home Rule Amendment and the Home Rule
Charter. The County Commissioners by a. counter claim
asked the Court to forbid the Village from enforcing its
own traffic ordinance. The Circuit Court granted the
County's request and the Village appealed with the
result above indicated.
"Under the Supreme Court's order the Village
now returns to the enforcement of its own traffic ordinance. "
