ANALYSIS
Mr. Howard Gross, a life time resident of Miami Beach, has generously offered to pay for the cost
and installation of a park bench to be installed on the north side of Flamingo Park Memorial Field
adjacent to the locker rooms. The bench will be the same metal style unit that is currently being
installed in other parks under the Parks General Obligation Bond Improvements Program. Mr. Gross
has offered this donation in recognition of his deceased brother, Norman Gross who played football
for Miami Beach High School, was selected to the All State team while at Beach High School and
later went on to coach football several years at Miami Jackson and Miami South Ridge High
Schools. Mr. Gross feels this location is very appropriate considering the fact his brother grew up
on Miami Beach, played for Miami Beach High School and spent so much time at this field. Mr.
Gross has also requested permission to install a small brass plate, approximately 3" x 5" in size, on
the bench acknowledging the donation.
In accordance with established City procedures this item was referred to the December 4, 2000
Community Affairs Committee meeting for discussion where it was approved unanimously. The
value of this donation is estimated at $850 including the cost of the bench and installation. The
acceptance of this donation will create a shaded respite for park patrons and enhance the beauty of
Flamingo Park.
