RESOLUTION NO. 168
A RESOLUTION OPPOSING A RATE INCREASE
BY FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY;
DIRECTING THE ADMINISTRATION; DIRECTED
TO PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CI'PY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
DANIA, FLORIDA:
Section 1. That the City Commission of the City of Dania
hereby note their vehement and unalterable objection to any rate in-
crease by Florida Power and Light Company and request that the Public
Service Commission of the State of Florida consider the economic
status of the people of the State of Florida at this time, further
consider the rampant inflation now being experienced and the fact
that many of the citizens of the City of Dania and of the State of
Florida are living on fixed incomes with little or no opportunity
' h for any cost of living or other increases .
w_t
Section 2 . That specifically the City Commission of the
City of Dania would direct the attention of the Public Service Com-
mission to the fact that Florida Power and Light as well as other
utilities are unnecessarily advertising their service. Such adver-
tisement is unnecessary in view of the monopolistic nature of the
utilities and all of these suns spent on advertising as well as -
those sums spent on lobbying fees and costs should be removed from
the rate base or not considered at this time by the Public Service
Commission until such time as the legislature has an opportunity to
remove same from the rate base.
Section 3 . That the City Commission further requests that
the legislative delegation of Broward County take sufficient and
necessary action to file bills which would remove all advertising
and lobbying costs of public utilities from the rate base .
