Hall of Fame committee approves four inductees for 2026 class
Summary
The Miami Lakes Hall of Fame selection committee voted unanimously to approve four inductees for the class of 2026 — David Shula, Michael Timpson, Ryan Collins and Don Tufts — with Alex Fernandez listed as a conditional addition if he accepts. The committee discussed outreach challenges and scheduling for the induction ceremony.
The Miami Lakes Hall of Fame selection committee voted to approve four inductees for its class of 2026. Committee member (speaker 3) moved the nominations, and the motion passed on an all‑in‑favor voice vote, recorded as 4–0.
The committee’s motion, carried at the meeting, named David Shula, Michael Timpson, Ryan Collins and Don Tufts as the core class. Committee member (speaker 3) told colleagues: "I'll make a motion that that we go with the 4, nominees, which should be Dave Shula, Michael Timpson, Ryan Collins, and Don Tufts for the, 20 26 open ceremony." The Chair confirmed the second and called the voice vote, which produced unanimous approval.
The committee also noted Alex Fernandez as an outside candidate who could be added if he accepts; members said Fernandez had previously been approved by council, so his plaque would reflect the year he was initially approved. After the vote, the group turned to scheduling and event logistics, including sponsorship outreach and finalizing presentation details for the induction ceremony.
Next steps: committee members agreed to gather contact and biographical details to submit a council item by the upcoming council deadline and to reconvene for final planning in early September.
