§ 3. Extension of Boundaries.

(a)

All agreements heretofore entered into between the City of Orlando and the owners of property outside of said City for municipal services such as sanitary sewerage and garbage collection are hereby validated and confirmed; provided, also that the City of Orlando is hereafter authorized to enter into agreements to render municipal services such as garbage collection and sanitary sewerage outside of the City limits, if the City Council in its discretion determines that is to the best interest of the City so to do. The City may make such charges and fix such conditions by said agreement as appear proper; provided, however, that if in any such area affected by such agreements heretofore, or hereafter made, an election is called and such election results in a vote adverse to the annexation of such area to the corporate limits of said City, then such adverse vote shall be conclusively construed as a determination by the people of such area that such area is not susceptible of municipal benefits and said City shall thereupon, within sixty days after such election discontinue rendering such municipal services in such area outside of said municipal limits. Nothing herein shall be construed as in any way affecting services rendered by or through the Orlando Utilities Commission in serving water and electricity under laws applicable to said Commission.

(b)

Whenever an area is included within the city limits of the City of Orlando under the procedure herein provided for, the City Council of the City of Orlando shall, as soon thereafter as possible, make provision for registration of all residents subject to qualifications as electors of the City of Orlando and shall make provision for furnishing full and complete municipal advantages, including police and fire protection and other benefits enjoyed by the citizens of the City of Orlando.

(c)

All areas which are included within the city limits of the City of Orlando, under the procedure provided for herein, shall be subject to taxation by the City of Orlando for lawful municipal purposes, beginning the first day of the first calendar year after the date of the publication of the results of the election held, as provided for in this act, provided no real or personal property within such areas so annexed shall be liable for or taxed to pay any bonded indebtedness of said city existing at the time of such annexation, the benefits of which do not appertain to such area.

Editor's note— Former § 3 of ch. 1, extending the boundaries of the city, has been deleted pursuant to the city's instructions. The legal description previously contained in § 3 is now contained within the legal description which is attached to and made a part by reference of that certain ordinance adopted 10-20-1980, as referenced in ch. 1, § 2 of the Charter. Section 3 was derived from: Laws of Fla. ch. 26085(1949), § 1; Laws of Fla. ch. 31079(1955), § § 1, 2; Laws of Fla. ch. 57-1647, § § 1—11; Laws of Fla. ch. 59-1660, § 1; Laws of Fla. ch. 59-1661, § 1; Laws of Fla. ch. 61-2600, § 1; Laws of Fla. ch. 63-1717, § 1; Laws of Fla. ch. 65-2023, § 1; Laws of Fla. ch. 67-1839, § 1; Laws of Fla. ch. 69-1384, § § 1—4; Laws of Fla. ch. 69-1385, § 1; Laws of Fla. ch. 69-1394, § 1; and Laws of Fla. ch. 71-812, § 1. Subsequent to Laws of Fla. ch. 71-812, the city territorial limits were varied and extended from time to time in accordance with existing law, but § 3 did not reflect such changes.

Former provisions found in Section 3 pertaining to annexation were superseded and effectively repealed by amendments to Florida Statutes chs. 166 and 171.
