MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Mayor Norman S. Edelcup
DATE: 5/15/2014
RE: Richard C. Schulman Bench Dedication
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Commission approve the attached resolution to
dedicate a bench in memory of Richard C. Schulman.
REASONS:
Richard C. Schulman provided years of dedicated service to the City. He retired
from the City on April 15, 2014. Unfortunately, he passed away peacefully on
May 4, 2014. Richard leaves a legacy of dedication to the City of Sunny Isles
Beach that is rivaled by few others.
He served the City on advisory committees and acted as liaison to the City's
Historic Preservation Board. As city historian, he maintained the official
scrapbook, tracking events and milestones for posterity. In the early years of the
City, he also wrote as columnist Rovin' Reuvin' for the Sunny Isles Beach Sun
and was official city photographer. He presided as invocator at most city
meetings, groundbreakings and dedications.
Richard was the creator and administrator of history hall named in his honor in
the Sunny Isles Beach Government Center. He was instrumental in the
publication of the City's history book "From Sandbar to Sophistication" by Seth
Bramson in 2007.
For these reasons and many more, it is recommended that we name the bench
by the Veteran's Wall at Heritage Park the Richard C. Schulman bench.
