RECOMMENDATION Commission approval, by 5/7th vote, following a duly noticed public hearing, of the placement of a plaque on the facade of the building located at 1058 Collins Avenue, the location of the original David's Cafe, commemorating the contributions of the late Alfredo Gonzalez, Sr., and to place the plaque on the City-owned right of way within proximity to the building, should the property owner no longer be able to house the plaque on the building. BACKGROUND On September 12, 2016, the Miami Beach Hispanic Affairs Committee made a motion urging the City Commission to place a historic marker on Collins Avenue and 11th Street to honor the memory of Alfredo Gonzalez, Sr. (Item 4 in Attachment A). Mr. Gonzalez, a Cuban exile who achieved the American Dream in Miami Beach, made significant charitable and civic contributions to the local community. Pursuant to the recommendation from the Hispanic Affairs Committee, on October 19, 2016, the City Commission voted to refer the item to the Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee (NCAC). At its October 21, 2016 meeting, the NCAC directed City staff to contact the current owner of the property which housed the original site of Mr. Gonzalez's restaurant, David's Café, to consider placement of a plaque on this building, at the City's expense. The Committee also directed staff to explore placing a marker on 11th Street as an alternative. Since NCAC's direction, City Transportation Department staff contacted the property owner, Mr. Isaac Klein, to obtain approval, and he expressed his concurrence in placing the memorial plaque on the facade of his property located at 1058 Collins Avenue, with the condition that he be allowed to Page 1109 of 1802 see what it looks like and where it will be placed before it is installed (Attachment B). As depicted in Attachment C, the plaque will likely be installed on one of the two columns that straddle the front window of the building. In a memo dated July 3, 2018 from the Hispanic Affairs Committee (Attachment D), the Committee encouraged the City Commission to adopt a resolution to effectuate the placement of the plaque to coincide with Hispanic Heritage Month and to also adopt language in the same resolution for placing the plaque on the city-owned right-of-way within proximity of the original site should the property owner no longer be able to house the plaque. The language to be considered for placement on the plaque has also been received from Mr. Gonzales family and is included in the July 3rd memo from the Hispanic Affairs Committee. At the July 25, 2018 City Commission meeting, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2018- 30410 accepting the recommendation of the NCAC to approve the placement of a plaque commemorating the contributions of Mr. Gonzalez on the building located at 1058 Collins Avenue and setting a public hearing for September 12, 2018 to consider the matter. ANALYSIS Pursuant to Section 82-504 of the City Code concerning monuments and memorials, the City Commission is required to hold a public hearing prior to final approval of the commemorative plaque; and the proposal for the commemorative plaque must be transmitted to the City Commission with an accompanying written analysis prepared by the City Administration. At the close of the City Commission public hearing, the approval of the proposal requires a 5/7ths vote and, unless expressly provided otherwise in the City Commission resolution approving the commemorative plaque, the approval shall establish the presumption that the City shall assume the costs associated with the ongoing maintenance of the approved plaque. The size of the proposed plaque would be approximately 18" x 36" (see Attachment E) and the estimated cost would be$3,500- $4,000 (artwork+ fabrication). FINANCIAL INFORMATION The Parks and Recreation Department will fund the costs associated with the design, production, and installation of the proposed plaque (estimated at $3,500 - $4,000). The nominal future maintenance costs of the plaque will be covered by the City.

As you may be aware, Mr. Gonzalez opened the original David's Cafe in 1977 at the corner of Collins Avenue and 11th Street in Miami Beach in a building which you currently own. In honor of Mr. Gonzalez's legacy and contribution to the City of Miami Beach,the NCAC directed the City Administration to reach out to the property owner for approval to place a plaque on the front exterior wall of the building where David's Caf€was historically located on 11th Street. Please advise at your earliest opportunity if you are in agreement with this proposal. We sincerely appreciate your consideration of this request to honor the memory of a Hispanic entrepreneur and visionary in our community and we would be happy to discuss the details with you further at your earliest convenience.

ATTACHMENT D MEMORANDUM TO: Jimmy Morales,City Manager DATE: July 3, 2018 City of Miami Beach- &4# „f -,.- FROM: Alex t Fernantlz,C(aaLt. ._L , SUBJECT Alfredo Gonzalez, Sr. Hispanic Affairs Committee Memorial Plaque As you will recall,in 2016,the Miami Beach Hispanic Affairs Committee recommended the placement of a plaque in memory of the late Alfredo Gonzalez, Sr. highlighting his story as an example of the challenges endured and the values held by the Hispanic community. The recommendation from the Hispanic Affairs Committee was sponsored by Commissioner Joy Malakoff. On October 19. 2016, the City Commission voted favorably to refer the item to the Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee. Subsequently,the Neighborhood Committee directed City staff to contact the current owner of the property at 1058 Collins Avenue (the "Site") which housed Mr. Gonzalez' business to consider placement of the plaque at the City's expense. Since the last action taken at the Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee, it is my understanding that the property-owner has informed city staff of his interest in placing the plaque at the Site. Furthermore,the Hispanic Affairs Committee has delegated me with the authority to coordinate with your staff,the City Commission, and others necessary to effectuate the placement of the plaque. Accordingly, in consultation with Mr. Gonzalez's family, the language on page 2 of this memorandum is presented for the City's consideration for placement on the plaque. By means of this memorandum, the City Commission is respectfully encouraged to adopt a resolution directing staff to take all remaining necessary actions to effectuate the placement of the plaque to coincide with Hispanic Heritage Month. In the event the current or a future property owner the plaque is no longer able to house the plaque at the Site, the City Commission should consider language, as part of the resolution, for the replacement of the plaque to a portion of city-owned right of way within the proximity of the Site. At this time, the Hispanic Affairs Committee will greatly appreciate the continued collaboration of the City Commission and that of your staff in advancing this project. We remain available to assist the City Commission and you staff with the steps necessary to finalize placement of the plaque to honor such a beloved leader and missed member of our Hispanic community. Thank you. Attachments. C: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commissioners Members,Hispanic Affairs Committee Mr.Jose Gonzalez,Director.Transportation Department Page lof3 Page 1118 of 1802 DRAFT I'12OPOSED LANGUAGE ALFREDO GONZALEZ,SR. (1935-2016) Since the onset, Hispanics have contributed to the rich cultural fabric that make Miami Beach a great community and destination. It was in this tropical paradise that Alfredo Gonzalez, Sr. set mots in the city of Miami Beach opening and operating a family run Cuban restaurant which became a staple for locals and popular amongst tourist. This was the beginning of the success story of this family man, business- owner,and caring citizen that exemplifies the experiences of the Hispanics who have made Miami Beach their home. In the 1961, Alfredo exiled to the United States from Cuba, similar to his father before him, who emigrated from Spain to Cuba a half century earlier. With a great desire to be part of the American Dream, Alfredo assimilated to American culture, learned a new language, and worked several jobs to provide for his wife Maria, his mother-in-law, and three sons, Alfredo, Alejandro & Adrian. With modest savings and with the support of his family, Alfredo realized his dream in Miami Beach of serving the cuisine of his native Cuba,with his first Cuban restaurant,Three Boys Luncheonette, located in North Beach. A couple of years later, the dream continued with David's Café which Alfredo operated for over 37 years in Collins Avenue, in the heart of South Beach. With much dedication, Alfredo expanded his business presence to Washington Avenue and almost 20 years at David's Café II on Lincoln Road. In keeping with the values inherited from his family, Alfredo's business success afforded him the opportunity to give back to the community and actively supported all three Catholic Churches in the Miami Beach. Alfredo became known as a champion of Miami Beach's aging elderly population seeking opportunities to improve their quality of life, Through their example of entrepreneurship, faith, and service,Alfredo and Maria instilled in their children and to the community around them the importance of charity. The challenges and heartache endured by Alfredo while escaping the political chaos in Cuba allowed him to appreciate responsible civic participation. Indeed, Alfredo developed a passion for Miami Beach's politics, diversity, natural beauty, and historic character and endeavored to restore several historic properties, including the buildings located at 1058 Collins Avenue, a 1926 gas station, and a bungalow built by Carl Fisher in 1914. In appreciation for the contributions and legacy of this great citizen be it resolved that the City of Miami Beach Mayor and Commission, by recommendation of the Hispanic Affairs Committee, dedicate this marker in honor of Alfredo Gonzalez, Sr. Page 2 of 3 Page 1119 of 1802 After-Action report front the Neighhorhood/Commnnily Affairs Committee 11.
