ANALYSIS
Chapter 82 of the City Code of Miami Beach provides guidelines for the naming and
renaming of all public facilities within or owned by the City of Miami Beach. Section 82-
503(a)(4) of the Code provides that public facilities (defined as any public building, plaza or
park owned by the City) shall not be named, or renamed, for living persons unless such
persons are over 1 00 years of age. Currently, the only exception to this rule is if the naming
or renaming is in exchange for a monetary donation.
At the July 17, 2001 Community Affairs meeting, the Committee acknowledged that there
should be a system to recognize outstanding living individuals who are under 1 00 years of
age. The Committee voted to direct the Administration to revise the aforesaid Ordinance to
allow the City to consider the naming or renaming of public facilities for living persons
under 100 years of age with the provision that said proposed naming or renaming is
submitted to the electorate of the City by referendum and so approved by a majority of the

electorate voting in such referendum. This will apply to all namings or renamings of public
facilities except those in exchange for monetary donations, since this was previously
exempted from the requirements of the Ordinance.
Subsequently, at the July 25, 2001 City Commission meeting, the Commission reviewed
and approved the Committee's action.
This Ordinance, if approved will amend the City Code to allow for public facilities to be
named or renamed after living persons if:
1. Such persons are over 100 years of age.
2. The naming or renaming is in exchange for a monetary donation.
3. The individual is under 100 years of aQe and the electorate of the City apDroves the
namino in a citywide referendum.
The process to name/rename a public facility after a living person under 100 years of age
will be as follows:
Committee Review and Recommendation
>- Proposal regarding the renaming is submitted to the Community Affairs Committee
(Committee) for review and recommendation. The Committee reviews proposal in
accordance with its established selection criteria. The proposal must be approved
by a majority of the members of the Committee. The Committee forwards a
recommendation to the City Commission.
Public Hearing
>- Commission holds a public hearing to discuss. The proposal must be approved by a
5/7ths vote of the City Commission.
Referendum
>- The naming or renaming is submitted to the electorate of the City by referendum at
the next regularly scheduled election and approved by a majority of the electorate
voting in the referendum.
As a reference, the following amendments have recently been made to this Ordinance:
July 17, 1998 - Ordinance amended to repeal all language co-naming streets.

September 13, 2000 - Ordinance amended to (1) exempt the Bass Museum of Art
from the naming requirements (2) repeal the existing language regarding naming
and renaming streets after individuals (3) for monetary donations only, waive the
requirement that public facilities can only be named after living individuals over 100
years of age.
This Ordinance was approved on first reading by the City Commission at its meeting of
September 5, 2001.
It is recommended that the City Commission adopt this Ordinance amending Section 82-
503(a)(4) of the City Code to provide that public facilities shall not be named or renamed
for living persons unless the naming or renaming is submitted to the electorate of the city
by referendum at the next regularly scheduled election and so approved by a majority of
