MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners
FROM: Ellis Shapiro, City Manager
DATE: November 11, 1994
RE: PROPOSED ENCLAVE LEGISLATION - FLORIDA LEAGUE OF CITIES
As discussed at our last City Commission meeting, Mayor Vandergrift had proposed State
legislation that would allow municipalities to voluntarily annex enclaves within their cities'
boundaries whether the land was contiguous or not to the city.
Pursuant to your instructions, I contacted the Florida League of Cities to determine whether
this proposal was contrary to their policy and to determine how this proposed legislation
might be received by a Florida League of Cities legislation committee for possible adoption.
This last year, all annexation issues were consolidated in the Environmental Quality
Committee. Ms. Diane Salz is the FLC staff member for this committee. After explaining
this proposal, Ms. Salz felt that this proposed legislation should be addressed by the League
and was consistent with the kinds of issues that the League supported. Ms. Salz further
suggested that if the City Commission supported this proposal that we propose a change to
the appropriate legislative guideline as it is currently written and enclosed in this packet.
It would be my recommendation that the following language in 500.3 be changed as follows:
"Provides reasonable procedures to allow cities to eliminate all enclaves and
to expeditiously annex highly developed areas, or areas soon to be developed
that are totally surrounded by the city,whether the particular land within the
enclave is contiguous or not and when the annexation is requested by the
landowner."
If you agree with this proposal, then Ms. Salz has asked me to prepare a memorandum to
her Committee for the possible review under New Business at the Legislative Session
beginning November 17, 1994.
Respectfully Sub itted,

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor S. Scott Vandergrift
FROM: Paul E. Rosenthal, Esq. , City Attorney Aft.
DATE: November 8, 1994
RE: Legislative Issue Regarding Annexations
Pursuant to your request at the City Commission meeting, I
believe that the legislative issue which you raised would be
phrased as follows:
"Should the Florida Legislature amend Chapter 171,
Florida Statutes, so as to allow a municipality to annex
upon the voluntary petition of a property owner lands
which are located within an 'enclave' but which are not
contiguous to the corporate limits of the municipality?"
Upon direction from the City Commission, I will prepare a
draft of legislation which would amend Chapter 171 as set forth
above. If you require any further assistance, please let me know.
