A Resolution of the City of South Miami, Florida, to
temporarily place the manatee sculpture painted by the
South Miami Middle School students on City Property;
and providing for an effective date.
Whereas, students at the South Miami Middle School asked
Prince Media Development, Inc. to provide their school with a
manatee sculpture; and
Whereas Prince Media Development, Inc. solicited a private
donor to provide the Middle School students with an unadorned
manatee sculpture for them to paint; and
Whereas, 49 students in the South Miami Middle School Arts
Magnet program found a way to cooperate to design and paint a
manatee sculpture; and
Whereas, the students of South Miami Middle School have
specifically asked if their manatee sculpture could be placed on
display outside City Hall where it can be viewed and
photographed by the public; and
Whereas, the manatee sculptures are an offbeat cultural
draw to the City of South Miami, and the South Miami Middle
School itself is somewhat off the cultural path, particularly in
the summer when school is out of session;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA:
Section 1: The City resolves to allow Prince Media
Development, Inc. to place the South Miami Middle School
students' manatee sculpture on City Property with the following
conditions:
A) The manatee sculpture shall be on public display for a
period not to exceed 6 months, beginning in June 2011, and
ending no later than 31 December 2011.
B) The location shall be outside City Hall on the North
side of the building, with precise placement to be approved by
the City Manager.
C) Placement and removal shall be arranged and paid for by
Prince Media Development, Inc. at no cost to the City.
D) City property at the site of installation shall be
restored to its prior condition by Prince Media Development,
Inc. after the manatee sculpture has been removed.
