the Mayor of Monroe County, Florida, and the
member of said Board appointed as Vice-
Chairman of said Board shall be known as the

County of Monroe operates, which statute was created subsequent
to the creation of the title of Mayor, and further, Chapter 125
provides for the specific legislative and governing authorities
of County government, and

of Mayor and such designation does not serve any useful purpose,
now, therefore,
BE IT P~SOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF
MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA, that said Board does hereby request the
Monroe County legislative delegation to take any and all action
necessary to repeal Chapter 65-1931 in the 1979 legislative ses-
sion and to accomplish said repeal at the earliest possible date
