Avenue
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 5e AVENUE; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
On December 2, 2005, The City completed the purchase of the YMCA property located
at 4300 SW 5e Avenue. The property is approximately 10 acres and consists of a
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
a City Ordinance, 29-05 -1851 which states, "No naming of a 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.
