SECOND READING PUBLIC HEARING -At the January 11, 2011, the Neighborhoods/Community Affairs

requested that additional procedures be developed to serve as guidelines in authorizing future requests. At the
conclusion of the discussion, the Committee approved a moratorium on naming requests until draft guidelines were
developed; those proposed guidelines were to return to the Committee for review, discussion and, if approved,
referred to the full Commission for action. The Administration prepared a discussion of potential policies for the
nomination/number of monument or memorial plaques for the December 8, 2011 NCAC meeting. This discussion .
resulted in recommendations to the Commission which included: limiting Commissioners and the Mayor to one (1)
monument/memorial recommendation per term of elected office; if the request comes from a third party, the cost and
maintenance is the requestor's responsibility; add language to allow for the financial responsibility of the third-party
requestor to be waived with a 6/7 vote of the City Commission; wording that the honoree be in good standing and if
convicted/adjudicated of a felony, their name shall be removed. The Administration prepared and presented an
ordinance amendment for first reading based on the Committee's recommendations. The City Commission, at the
March 21, 2012 meeting, adopted the proposed ordinance on first reading, but referred the item back to the NCAC for
further discussion (between first and second reading of the Ordinance.) The NCAC discussed the proposed
Ordinance at its meeting on March 27, 2012, and recommended that it be brought back to the City Commission for
second and final reading, with the following modifications: a) that proposals for the establishment of a monument or
memorial may only be proposed by (or through) a member of the City Commission; and b) deleting the condition
requiring that the "requesting party" for the establishment of a monument or memorial be responsible for all costs
associated with the design, fabrication, installation, and on-going maintenance of the proposed monument and
memorial. Accordingly, the Administration has incorporated the Committee's recommended changes, and submitted
for adoption on second and final reading.

BACKGROUND
At their January 11, 2011 meeting, the Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee held a
discussion concerning the approval of a memorial in honor of a Miami Beach resident to be
located on Lincoln Road. While discussing the memorial issue, the Committee members
expressed concern as to the increase in requests for memorial plaques in the previous months
and felt the current process would be well served to have additional procedures developed to
serve as guidelines in authorizing future requests for memorial plaques.
At the conclusion of the discussion, the Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee, as a part
of the motion approving the memorial under discussion, approved a moratorium on naming
requests until draft guidelines to limit these requests were developed by the Administration and
returned to the Committee for its review, discussion and, if approved, referred to the full
Commission for action.

City Commission Meeting
ANALYSIS
Based on the discussion held at the January 11, 2011 Neighborhood/Community Affairs
Committee meeting, relevant information from our City Code and the review of other
communities' standards, the Administration referred for discussion on March 11, 2011 to the
Neighborhood/ Community Affairs Committee "Potential Policies for the Nomination/Number of
Monument or Memorial Plaques." The item was heard at the Committee's December 8, 2011
meeting.
At the conclusion of the extended discussion, which included both the Committee members and
resident input, the following action was taken.
ACTION: The Committee (Commissioners Libbin, Weithorn, and Gongora present)
recommended the following to the Commission:
With a vote of two to one, with Commissioner Gongora dissenting:
• Limit the Mayor and each Commissioner to one (1) monument/memorial
recommendation per term of elected office.
• In the event the request comes from a third party, then the cost and maintenance
is the requestor's responsibility.
• Add language to allow for the financial responsibility of the third-party requestor
to be waived with a 6/7 vote of the City Commission.
With a unanimous vote:
• Include recommended wording that the individual be in good standing and, if
convicted/adjudicated of a felony, their name shall be removed.
• Administration to add whatever language is necessary for administrative cleanup.
• Streamline the process for handling monuments/memorials as recommended.
o Recommendations for monuments or memorials are to be referred by the
sponsoring commissioner to the appropriate Commission committee.
o If the committee approves (with the required majority) the placement of a
memorial plaque, that recommendation is forwarded to the full City
Commission to set a public hearing.
o If the committee approves a monument or a memorial that is not a
plaque (e.g. a site, bust, sculpture, structure, art work), the
recommendation is forwarded to the Art in Public Places Committee
(AiPP) for their review and recommendation as to location, aesthetic
quality, maintenance, and other related issues (in accordance with their
criteria); the AiPP recommendation is subsequently forwarded to the full
City Commission to set a public hearing.
o At the close of the public hearing, the City Commission may approve (or
disapprove of) the establishment of the monument or memorial, subject
to consistency with the criteria established in the Code.
• Monuments/memorials must comply with all established City policies,
procedures, standards and guidelines.
As directed, the Administration prepared the proposed amendment to the City of Miami Beach
Code, Chapter 82, entitled "Public Property" which amends Article VI entitled "Naming Of Public
Facilities and Establishment of Monuments or Memorials," by amending Section 82-504 entitled
"Monuments or Memorials" as recommended by the Neighborhood/Community Affairs
Committee at the December 8, 2011 meeting and presented it on first reading to the Mayor and
City Commission at the March 21, 2012 meeting. At that time the City Commission adopted the

for second and final reading, with the following modifications:

b) that the additional condition, requiring that the "requesting party" for the
