COMMISSION ITEM SUMMARY
m
Condensed Title:
A Resolution accepting and appropriating the private donation of $75,000 from the family of Maurice Gibb
for the re-naming, design and construction of Maurice Gibb Memorial Park in the park formerly known as
Island View Park, as supported by Miami Beach voters in the November 2003 referendum.
Issue:
Shall the City of Miami Beach accept the donation of $75,000 from the Gibb family to construct a newly
designed sign re-naming Island View Park as Maurice Gibb Memorial Park and adjacent memorial plaza?
Item Summary/Recommendation:
With the death of Bee Gee music legend Maurice Gibb, the City of Miami Beach was approached by the
Gibb family to create a lasting memorial which they volunteered to pay for in total. Island View Park was
identified as the desired location for such a tribute because of Maurice's frequent visits from his nearby
recording studio. As is prescribed by Code for re-naming, this issue was placed on the November 2003
Miami Beach ballot. The electorate approved this initiative, and the City has worked with the family to
design, price and permit these park enhancements so that construction may commence. The Gibb family
has provided the City with a check in the amount of $75,000 as private donation to cover all costs
associated with the implementation of this project.

Subject:
A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI
BEACH, FLORIDA, TO ACCEPT AND APPROPRIATE THE PRIVATE DONATION OF
$75,000 FROM THE FAMILY OF MAURICE GIBB FOR THE RE-NAMING, DESIGN AND
CONSTRUCTION OF MAURICE GIBB MEMORIAL PARK IN THE PARK NOW KNOWN
AS ISLAND VIEW PARK, AS SUPPORTED BY THE MIAMI BEACH VOTERS IN THE
NOVEMBER 2003 CITYWIDE ELECTION.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION:
ADOPT THE RESOLUTION.
FUNDING
Funding in the total amount of $75,000 is available for this project through the
private contribution of the Maurice Gibb family.
ANALYSIS
The death of Bee Gee music legend Maurice Gibb, was the catalyst for the family to
seek a venue in which to create a lasting memorial for both his family and friends. The
Gibb family have lived and worked on Miami Beach for over 25 years and accordingly
sought a suitable location for placement of this tribute, in the City of Miami Beach. Island
View Park was identified as the desired location for such a tribute because of Maurice's
frequent visits from his nearby recording studio. Re-naming of the Park to Maurice Gibb
Memorial Park was proposed and recommended by the Community Affairs Committee in
accordance with selection criteria set forth in the Miami Beach City Code, Chapter 82.
A public hearing was held on July 2, 2003 to obtain citizen in put, and after a 5/7ths vote,
the issue was approved by the City Commission.
As the proposed park name change required the support of a majority of the electorate in a
referendum, this item was placed on the November 2003 ballot so that the electorate could
approve the re-naming as a tribute to Maurice Gibb. The ballot issue was passed and the
Administration began to work with the family to develop a suitable design concept, and
construction documents for the sign and memorial. Those plans are now fully approved,
and the Gibb family has sent a check to the City in the amount of $75,000 to privately fund
the construction which includes a memorial plaza and a new park sign which is located in
the southeast quadrant of the park and will replace the existing one. (See Attachments 1,
2, and 2A- sample of plaza flooring detail)
The City's cost estimate includes the following:
Construction costs
Gordian Fee (JOC) 1.5%
Contingency 12%
CIP Fee 4.8%
$ 63,085.57
946.28
7,683.22
3,073.53
$74,788.60
Total Fees
CONCLUSION:
The Gibb family has worked with City staff to develop a new sign design and adjacent
landscaped memorial plaza for which they are absorbing all costs. The Administration
recommends the acceptance of the $75,000 private donation and appropriation for the
construction of the voter approved Maurice Gibb Memorial Park.
