Application for Review of the Decision of the District Court of Appeal — Direct Conflict of Decisions, Fifth District — Case No. 92-1038; (Brevard County).

Eden Bentley, Asst. County Atty., Melbourne, amicus curiae for Brevard County.

John J. Copelan, Jr., County Atty. for Broward County, and Barbara S. Monahan, Asst. County Atty., Fort Lauderdale, amicus curiae for Broward County.


We have for review City of Melbourne v. Puma, 616 So.2d 190 (Fla. 5th DCA 1993). Jurisdiction was initially accepted based on conflict among district courts of appeal. We find that our recent decision in Board of County Commissioners v. Snyder, 627 So.2d 469 (Fla. 1993), resolves the conflict. Accordingly, we remand this case to the court below for further consideration consistent with our opinion in Snyder.

It is so ordered.

BARKETT, C.J., and OVERTON, McDONALD, SHAW, GRIMES, KOGAN and HARDING, JJ., concur.
