Resolution 6320 RESOLUTION NO. 6320
A RESOLUTION OF
LOVE AND RESPECT
FOR
THE HONORABLE JOHN H. LEVI
WHEREAS, our good friend "John" has, of his own volition and
because of his failing health, found it expedient to withdraw this
year from the race for a seat on the City Council for another term;
and
WHEREAS, the City has been most fortunate in having the con-
tinuous services of this conscientious and capable man on this Body
since October 28th, 1918, serving for the major portion of this time
as its President and for six years as our Mayor; and
WHEREAS, throughout this entire service he has at all times put
the welfare of our average citizen to the forefront and has worked
untiringly in the City' s interest, often to the detriment of his own
health and personal interests; and
WHEREAS, John' s natural wit, coupled with his rare business
judgment, born of years of actual engineering, construction and sales
experience, has undoubtedly resulted in savings to the City of hundreds
of thousands of dollars;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Miami Beach, Florida, that we do hereby acknowledge that through the
retirement of our honorable colleague, John H. Levi, this Body has lost
the companionship and counsel of one of our most valued citizens, and
it is our opinion that the City of Miami Beach will find it extremely
difficult to replace this man who has so wisely and faithfully served
them these many years; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that as a testimonial of the honor and
esteem in which he is held, not only by this Body but by our citizens
at large, a copy of this resolution be suitably prepared for presentation
to him, as a lasting tribute and reminder of our love and appreciation
for these years of outstanding service which he has rendered to his
City.
PASSED and ADOPTED this 4th day of June, A. D. 1947.
