Aguil~~ Cl rol-- First Assistant City Attorn1Y FROM: SUBJECT: Amendment to Resolution No. 97-22451, changing the co-naming of the Miami Beach Police Athletic League Building from the "Leah and Chaim Resnick Campus", to the "Abe Resnick Youth Resources Center" DATE: April 8, 1999 On February 20, 1996, and July 2, 1997, the Mayor and City Commission adopted Resolution Nos. 96-21897 and 97-22450, respectively, interpreting certain provisions of Article VI of Chapter 82 of the Miami Beach City Code so as to allow the "co-naming" or "sub-naming" of public facilities or main streets without a referendum. On July 2, 1997, by Resolution No. 97-22451, the Mayor and City Commission approved the co-naming of the "Miami Beach Police Athletic League Building/Leah and Chaim Resnick Campus." Subsequently, on June 17, 1998, by Resolution No. 98-22797, the Mayor and City Commission repealed Resolution Nos. 96-21897 and 97-22451, prohibiting the co-naming and sub- naming of City streets and public facilities. What is proposed for consideration by the Mayor and City Commission on April 14, 1999 -- a resolution changing the previously approved co-name of the PAL Facility from the "Leah and Chaim Resnick Campus", to the "Abe Resnick Youth Resources Center" -- would not be in conflict with the City Commission's prior actions with regard to repealer of co-names and sub-names. \, The initial co-name was properly approved by the Mayor and City Commission during such time as co-names and sub-names were allowed, pursuant to the aforestated Resolutions interpreting Article VI of Chapter 82 of the City Code. The proposed amendment to ~e current co-name is non- substantive; the "Resnick" name is still being maintained; however, atlhe request of the Resnick family, and to honor the memory of recently deceased City Commissioner Abe Resnick, the family has requested that the surnames be changed from "Leah and Chaim" to "Abe". Additionally, during such time as co-names and sub-names were allowed pursuant to the aforestated Resolutions, a limited number (i.e. three) of co-names were actually approved; t~erefore, any "precedent" set by the City Commission's actions with regard to an amendment to the proposed co-name herein, would have a very limited scope (i.e. as only applicable to the other two names).

BACKGROUND In conjunction with the awarding of a bid for the new Miami Beach Police Athletic League Building, the Resnick family has requested that the name of the building be changed. In July 1997, the Mayor and City Commission adopted Resolution No. 97-22451, co-naming the new Miami Beach Police Athletic League Building the "Leah and Chaim Resnick Campus." The naming of the new building was to recognize the generosity of the Resnick family's financial support of the Miami Beach Police Athletic League. Sadly, the patriarch of the family, Mr. Abe Resnick passed away in 1998. Mr. Resnick served the citizens as a Miami Beach City Commissioner and was a well known supporter of many charitable causes in the City. The family wishes to honor his memory by renaming the building the "Miami Beach Police Athletic League Abe Resnick Youth Resources Center." CONCLUSION The amendment of the Resolution will authorize the changing of the name of the new Miami Beach Police Athletic League building to the "Miami Beach Police Athletic League Abe Resnick Youth AGENDAITEM~ DATE~9 Resources Center" to honor Mr. Abe Resnick for his contributions to the citizens of Miami Beach. rfI'" SR/RB/JS/PSIMMS -J.. ~-- (..P--- T:\AGENDA \ I 999\APR I 499\CONSENT\P AL renaming .mem. wpd -.
