Delray Beach commissioners give unanimous consensus to name new station for former Fire Chief Kerry Cohn
Summary
At the July 22 meeting the commission gave unanimous consensus to name a new facility — Fire Station 113 — after retired Fire Chief Kerry Cohn; staff said a ribbon‑cutting and dedication will acknowledge the naming at the July 25 ceremony.
The Delray Beach City Commission on July 22 unanimously agreed in consensus to dedicate Fire Station 113 in honor of former Fire Chief Kerry Cohn, who recently died.
A commissioner proposed that the new station be named for Cohn in recognition of his years of service and contributions to the department, including work on community monuments. Commissioners on the dais expressed immediate agreement; City Manager Terrence Moore said the dedication would be acknowledged at the station’s ribbon‑cutting scheduled for July 25.
The item was acted on by consensus rather than a formal ordinance or resolution; staff indicated the naming and recognition will be incorporated into the station opening ceremony and related materials.
Ending: City staff will include the dedication as part of the July 25 ribbon cutting and follow the city’s standard naming procedures for formal recognition.
