Hallandale Beach commission approves renaming of Southeast 5th Street to 'Storoute Way' and sets Jan. 15 ceremony
Summary
The commission approved an item to rename Southeast 5th Street to 'Storoute Way,' set a ceremony for Jan. 15 (11 a.m. to 1 p.m.), discussed a memorial tree and plaque, and noted fundraising needs estimated between $12,000 and $15,000; the event will be capped at 100 attendees.
The commission approved on the record a street-naming item to change Southeast 5th Street to "Storoute Way" and scheduled an inaugural ceremony for Thursday, Jan. 15, with a planned time window of 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Speaker 1 said the City Hall site could not be used for the event because the city does not own the property there; the ceremony will instead be on city-owned land near Blue Stream Park.
Speaker 1 proposed adding a memorial tree and a plaque and asked whether commissioners preferred listing every commissioner's name on the plaque or using the label "Mayor and City Commission." The speaker also discussed fundraising and asked for commission support for a possible set-aside; an initial estimate of $12,000 was later referenced as $15,000 in the exchange.
A motion was made and seconded (the second named in the transcript as Annabelle). During the roll call, the vice mayor and three commissioners named in the record (Vice Mayor Lazar, Commissioner Lima Top, Mayor Cooper, Commissioner Adams) each answered "Yes"; the transcript records individual "Yes" responses for those four commissioners on the roll call. The meeting host indicated event details (including registration) will be sent via e-vite and said attendance would be capped at 100 for security and management reasons.
What happens next: staff will circulate a save-the-date and registration e-vite; fundraising and any commission budget set-aside for the event remain to be finalized.
