...and summer programs for disadvantaged children. The respondents, taxpayers and citizens of the city, sued the petitioners, the city of Boca Raton, et al., to enjoin the contribution. They contended that such contribution was expressly prohibited by section 7.06, Boca Raton City Charter which provides: Expenditure of Funds Limited No city funds shall be expended in any manner whatsoever to accrue either directly or indirectly to the benefit of any religious, charitable, benevolent, civic or service organization....
...The court held that the charter provision is such an express limitation and a "functional test" cannot be applied. On petition for rehearing, the Fourth District Court of Appeal certified the following question as one of great public importance: Does Section 7.06 of the Charter of the City of Boca Raton, which provides that [n]o city funds shall be expended in any manner whatsoever to accrue either directly or indirectly to the benefit of any religious, charitable, benevolent, civic or service or...

Gidman, 440 So.2d 1277 (Fla.1983), supports reversal here. Gidman is inapposite to the instant case. Gidman addressed whether section 7.06 of the city's charter, which prohibited the expenditure of city funds "whatsoever to accrue either directly or indirectly to the benefit of any religious, charitable, benevolent, civic or service organization," prevented the city from contracting with a non-profit organization to provide a child daycare center. Id. at 1278. The city possessed broad home rule powers under Article VIII, section 2(b) of the Florida Constitution, and section 166.021(4), Florida Statutes (1979), to act for a "municipal purpose." Id. at 1280. The Supreme Court interpreted section 7.06 of the charter to allow the expenditure of city funds to a non-profit organization for childcare services consistent with the City's home rule powers....
