Summary Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting June 15,2006 City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida Commissioner Iglesias said that we are better than the Riviera, and that the idea for the name came from the New York Times. He said in reference to the shade on the beach, he lived in a two-story condominium before the high-rises came, at 2 :00 p.m. December 21 his two-story condominium already covered the whole beach. He said this Commission has taken steps to make sure that there are enough setbacks so there are still view corridors and enough sun. Commissioner Iglesias moved and Commissioner Thaler seconded a motion to approve the resolution. Resolution No. 2006-930 was adopted by a voice vote of 4-1 [Commissioner Goodman against) in favor. Administrative Services Director Alyce Hanson asked for direction, as she and Cultural and Human Service Director Susan Simpson met with the Altius Group, that if the tag line was approved that they would recommend evolving into using it and that we keep our branding. Mayor Edelcup said to start with the new Fiscal Year probably at the time when we are printing new stationery which will usually come in November with the change of the vice mayor position. Mayor Edelcup said that we are not talking about doing away with the wave, only replacing "Life With a View" with "Florida's Riviera". Ms. Hanson said the Altius Group recommended that the City evolve into a little bit more softer look and they would like to work with the City in doing that. Mayor Edelcup said they can work with staff and when they have something to present to the Commission then we will look at it. City Manager Szerlag said what Ms. Hanson is referring to is taking the actual "Florida's Riviera" slogan and begin placing it on literally everything, and that we would start looking at that in- house, and then ifthere are any large amounts to effectuate this change, we will wait until the new budget cycle which starts in October.
