COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager
DATE: October 17, 2018
SUBJECT A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, ACCEPTING THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE
NEIGHBORHOOD/COMMUNITY AFFAIRS COMMITTEE AND AUTHORIZING THE
CITY ADMINISTRATION TO EXPLORE LINCOLN ROAD AND WASHINGTON
AVENUE AS POTENTIAL LOCATIONS FOR AN ART INSTALLATION THAT
CELEBRATES DIVERSITY IN OUR COMMUNITY, AS REQUESTED BY THE
LGBTQ ADVISORY COMMITTEE; SUBJECT TO FUNDING AND BUDGET
DETERMINATION.
RECOMMENDATION
Accept the recommendation of the Neighborhood Community Affairs Committee (NCAC) authorizing
City administration to explore Lincoln Road and Washington Avenue as potential locations for an art
installation that celebrates diversity subject to the discussion of potential funding sources and budget
which is scheduled to be heard at the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee.
BACKGROUND
On May 17, 2017, a discussion item was placed on the City Commission meeting agenda regarding a
public art installation that celebrates diversity in our community, as requested by the LGBTQ
Advisory Committee. The item was referred to the Art in Public Places Committee.
On November 21, 2017, the Art in Public Places Committee met and reviewed the request, per
referral from the City Commission, to discuss a public art installation that celebrates diversity in our
community as requested by the LGBTQ Advisory Committee. The Art in Public Places Committee
made a unanimous motion to defer the item until a funding source and funding amount is identified
and provided to the Art in Public Places Committee.
At the April 11, 2018 City Commission meeting, a dual referral was placed by Commissioner
Steinberg to the Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee and the Finance and Citywide Projects
Committee to discuss moving forward with an art installation that celebrates diversity in our
community, as requested by the LGBTQ Advisory Committee.
ANALYSIS
At the September 26, 2018 NCAC meeting, Gayle Durham, a member of the LGBTQ Advisory,
stated the creation of an art installation should celebrate the past, present and future diversity in the
City of Miami Beach. Ms. Durham recommended that the art installed be located on Lincoln Road
and Convention Center Park as a secondary preferred location. Ocean Drive would not be a
desirable location because of the "heavy party scene" it would not be dignified for such an important

symbol. Ms. Durham also stated that the art installation could be anything from a light show, street
furniture or interactive video.
THE NCAC did not recommend the Convention Center Park as a location given that a public art
piece "Melting Pool" by is already programmed for Convention Center Park.
The Committee recommended City administration explore Lincoln Road and Washington Avenue as
potential locations for the art installation, subject to the discussion of potential funding sources
(including future capital projects that generate Art in Public Places funding) and budget which is
scheduled to be heard at the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee.
