ANALYSIS
At the July 15, 2016 Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee (NCAC) meeting, the
Committee discussed the potential co-naming of Convention Center Drive as Muhammad Ali
Way.At the meeting, staff presented the current criteria in the City Code under which streets can
be co-named. Current criteria for co-naming streets, or portions thereof, located in the City
include:
(i) Miami Beach police officers who died or were killed in the line of duty;
(ii) A public facility located on the street to be co-named;
(iii) Private not-for-profit organizations with significant historic value to the city and
associated with structures which have a significant historical value or architectural
significance to the city and which are located on the street, or portion thereof, to be
co-named;
(iv) Geographic areas within the city; or
(v) A commercial establishment that has been in business in the City of Miami
Beach for 100 or more years and which is located on the street to be co-named
Page 349 of 906
Additionally, staff explained that, pursuant to County Code, any street co-naming approved by
the City Commission would require a County Commissioner to sponsor the item for approval by
the Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners prior to the co-naming taking
effect. Fabrication and installation of new street name signs reflecting the co-naming would also
be required at the City's cost.
The NCAC, through a vote of acclamation, recommended that staff prepare a code amendment,
including a six (6) month sunset provision for amendments to the criteria in the City Code
regarding the co-naming of streets, and moved the co-naming of Convention Center Drive to the
City Commission for approval.
PROPOSED ORDINANCE
Pursuant to the NCAC recommendation and subject to City Commission approval, the
proposed ordinance amendment provides for streets, or portions thereof, to be co-named in honor of
deceased persons who achieved international acclaim as a world champion in a sport and whose
sports career associations with city facilities or other structures are of historical value or significance
to the city.
Additionally, the proposed ordinance amendment adds a requirement that if the proposed co-naming
is requested pursuant to subsection 82-503(c)(1)(a)(vi), a factual summary confirming the world
champion status and sports career of the person and the associations of the person's sports career
with city facilities or other structures that are of historical value or significance to the city shall be
submitted for consideration as part of the co-naming request.
Lastly, the proposed ordinance amendment provides for a six(6) month sunset provision.
KEY INTENDED OUTCOMES SUPPORTED
Maximize The Miami Beach Brand As A World Class Destination
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
This proposed Ordinance Amendment is not anticipated to have a fiscal impact in an of itself.
Should the City Commission approve this Ordinance Amendment, a subsequent City
Commission Resolution would be required for the co-naming of Convention Center Drive as
Muhammad Ali Way. That Resolution, once approved by the Miami-Dade Board of County
Commissioners, would have a fiscal impact of approximately $1,200 consisting of the costs of
fabricating and installing the new internally-illuminated co-naming street name signs along
Convention Center Drive at Dade Boulevard and 17th Street, as well as the new static co-
naming,street name signs at 18th Street and 19th Street.
