A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, RESCINDING THE PROCLAMATION
DESIGNATING OCTOBER 13, 2016 AS "SEAN DIDDY COMBS DAY."
WHEREAS, on October 13, 2016, the Mayor and City Commission issued a proclamation
designating October 13, 2016 as "Sean Diddy Combs Day" in recognition of Mr. Sean Combs'
contributions to the music industry and his role in organizing the Revolt Music Conference in
Miami Beach; and
WHEREAS, the City takes pride in its reputation as a welcoming destination for artists,
musicians, and creative professionals from around the world, and strives to maintain this
reputation through thoughtful consideration of the individuals and events it chooses to honor; and
WHEREAS, the values and image portrayed by public figures honored by the City
should reflect the core principles and aspirations of our diverse and inclusive community;
and
WHEREAS, recent events and public discourse, including recently released video of Mr.
Combs attacking R&B singer and ex-girlfriend, Casandra Ventura (Cassie), have raised concerns
about whether Mr. Combs' current public persona aligns with the values and image that the City
of Miami Beach seeks to project; and
WHEREAS, it is the duty of the Mayor and City Commission to regularly reassess and,
when necessary, reconsider previous actions to ensure they continue to serve the best interests
of our residents and visitors; and
WHEREAS, upon reflection, the Mayor and City Commission have determined that the
recognition of October 13, 2016 as "Sean Diddy Combs Day" is no longer in harmony with the
City's values of safety, community well-being, and respect, and wish to rescind the proclamation.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT DULY RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, that the Mayor and City
