18         Section 1.  Section 163.3172, Florida Statutes, is
19  created to read:
20         163.3172  Municipalities; county authority
21  limitations.--
22         (1)  The Legislature finds that municipalities are the
23  units of local self-government closest to the people they
24  serve and thereby are best situated to determine the unique
25  needs of their communities. Municipalities provide their
26  residents a true voice as to the character and values of their
27  local communities. The Legislature recognizes there have been
28  increasing and numerous preemptions of municipal democratic
29  powers by other forms of local government and concludes that
30  municipalities must retain the authority to perform the
31  functions that are of most immediate concern to their
                                  1
