DISCUSSION REGARDING THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH CENTENNIAL, WHICH
WILL OCCUR ON MARCH 26, 2015.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Refer the item to the Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee for discussion.
BACKGROUND
The City's centennial will occur on March 26, 2015. Planning for a Centennial celebration
requires a lot of time and resources. In order to kick-start the planning process the City
Administration believes a discussion is needed to develop a comprehensive vision of the
celebration and agree to the tools needed for its implementation. The following topics
should be considered as part of the discussion:
• Establishing a Host Committee representing a cross-section of the community and
who would oversee the planning, fundraising, logistics and coordination of the
Centennial celebration.
• Celebrate the City through a comprehensive use of its venues and amenities.
• Manage a broad range of activities whose content and pricing reflect the
demographic, economic and cultural diversity of the City, including events that are
free to the public.
• Work collaboratively with all parties interested in these goals, and especially with the
City's cultural, historic and civic organizations.
• Creating an event to attract local, national, and international visitors.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission refer the matter to the
Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee for discussion and further direction.
