Resolution 8399 RESOLUTION NO. 8399
WHEREAS, we, the City Council of Miami Beach,
take cognizance of the retirement of William Burbridge
from active public life with the utmost reluctance and
regret; and
WHEREAS, we cannot allow his withdrawal to pass
without mention of our gratitude for his wise and
effective counsel as a Councilman of our City for
twenty years; and
WHEREAS, those of us who had the longest association
with him, and those who joined us later, know that the
City of Miami Beach as it is today is the outcome of a
development made during his original tenure as City
Councilman;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that we, the City
Council of Miami Beach, Florida, and the citizens of our
community express our gratitude to William Burbridge for
his many years of service to our City. Unassuming and
imbued with a quiet strength based on ability and a
fineness of feeling for his fellow man, he contributed
much to our present civic eminence. We shall miss this
modest citizen whose accomplishments will stand as a
lasting testimonial of his service to Miami Beach --
William Burbridge.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Resolution be
spread upon the minutes of the City Council and a copy
be presented to William Burbridge as a tangible record
of our sincere appreciation.
PASSED and ADOPTED this 3rd day of June, A. D. 1953.
