SUBJECT: Marine and Waterfront Protection uthority Resolution:
To urge the City of Miami Beach Commission to appropriate funds
to permanently station a Park Ranger at the Barry Kutun Boat
Ramp (Purdy Ramp) and Maurice Gibb Park
The purpose of this Letter to Commission is to transmit a Marine and Waterfront
Protection Authority (MWPA) resolution approved on October 3, 2017. The resolution
recommends that a Park Ranger be permanently stationed at the Barry Kutun Boat
Ramp (Purdy Ramp) and Maurice Gibb Park.
After thorough discussion of the positive effects the presence of a Park Ranger has had
during the few months of this initiative's implementation, the MWPA feels strongly the
need for a full -time Park Ranger to safeguard the wellbeing of our constituents as well as
the safety of the neighborhood. To this end, the MWPA made a motion and
consequently approved the following resolution:
The Marine and Waterfront Protection Authority moved to urge the City
Commission to appropriate funds to permanently station a Park Ranger at the
Barry Kutun Boat Ramp (Purdy Ramp) and Maurice Gibb Park.
Action: Motion for this Resolution was made by Dr. Morris Sunshine, seconded by Joel
Aberbach. (Vote: 13 -0) Resolution passed unanimously.
