Editor's note

The above legal description does not appear in charter section 1.01. It is a revision prepared by the city attorney that reflects annexations by the city. The last sentence of section 1.01 has been deleted. It was either repealed by the Municipal Home Rule Powers Act (F.S. ch. 166) or converted into an ordinance by such act which has not been readopted. The provisions of such sentence are adequately provided for by such act.
