RESOLUTION:
A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
SOUTH MIAMI,FLORIDA,RELATED TO NAMING THE PARK LOCATED AT 4300
SW 58™AVENUE;PROVIDING FORAN EFFECTIVE DATE
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
On December 2,2005,The City completed the purchase of the YMCA property located
at 4300 SW 58th Avenue.The property is approximately 10 acresandconsistsofa
recreation facility,office space,basketball courts,racquetball court,swimming pool and
approximately 7 acres of open field space.
I requested that the Commission members suggest a name for the park.The two
suggested names I received were Julio Robaina Park and South Miami Park.There is
aCity Ordinance,29-05-1851 which states,"No naming ofa public street or piece of
public property shall be approved unless the person being honored is done so
posthumously."However,the Ordinance also states,"These requirements may be
waived by a four-fifths vote of the City Commission."
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Commission choose a name for the Park located at
4300 SW 58th Avenue.
