A RESOLUTION OF TilE CI'l'Y OF CLEARWATER, FLORIDA,
OPPOSING ANY LEGISLATIVE 1\'1'TEMPT TO REVERSE 'l'HE
TRIANON DECISION OF THE FLORIDA SUPREME COURT,
APRIL 4, 1985.
WHEREAS, in Trianon Park Condominium Association v. City
of Hialeah, No. 63,115 (Florida April 4, 1985), the Florida
Supreme Court held that municipalities could not be subjected to
tort liability for the failure of its building inspectors to
adequately enforce the provisions of its building code; and
WHEREAS, government cannot become the insuror of those injured
when its laws and regulations are broken, or safety measures it
imposes are ignored by others; and
WHEREAS, common sense dictates that gover~ment cannot
effectively promote the health, safety and welfare of the general
public if it is exposed to this type of liability; and
WHEREAS, the City Commission of the city of Clearwater firmly
believes that there will be a substantial effort by certain parties
to legislatively reverse the Trianon decision;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF CLEARWATER, FLORIDA,
IN SESSION DULY AND REGULARLY 'ASSEMBI,ED, .AS
FOLLOWS:
1. The City of Clearwater strongly opposes any legislative
action that would reverse the Trianon decision.
2. The City of Clearwater strongly urges the Pinellas Coun~y
Legislative Delegation to oppose any legislation that would reverse
the Trianon decision.
3. A copy of this Resolution shall be sent to each member of
the Pinellas County Legislative Delegation and each municipality
