PER CURIAM.
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.
