Section 165.051, Florida Statutes, provides the exclusive manner in which a municipality may be dissolved, by either a special act of the Legislature or an ordinance of the governing body of the municipality, approved by vote of the qualified voters, thereby precluding such action by amendment of the municipality's charter pursuant to section 166.031, Florida
Statutes.

How about a parking garage that cost a little over 50,000 per parking space? Maybe a brand new wastewater treatment plant for potential new building for 150 million? Yes, we are taken full advantage of.
I seriously doubt you're going to get the legislature to vote to dissolve Wildwood nor are you going to get the city commission to do so. And Florida has no provisions to allow for an area to revoke a voluntary annexation, as was done to make these new areas part of Wildwood.
