Once the Board has met and made a recommendation to the Commission, the proposed name is brought back to the Commission in the form of a resolution. Unfortunately, the Chairman of this Committee was frequently called out of town and unable to meet until mid -August. At that time the Committee voted to concur with the recommendation of the City Com- mission in renaming Dixie Park. Metropolitan Dade County passed a resolution on September 2, 1980 to rename one of their parks, Poinciana Park, in memory of Gwendolyn Sawyer Cherry. This action by Dade County was subsequent to notifica- tion by the City's Parks Department of the City Commission's intent to rename Dixie Park in memory of the late legislator, It would appear that confusion would exist if 2 parks within Dade County had the same name. The City Commission may wish to choose another City facility in memory of the late Gwendolyn Sawyer Cherry in order to prevent duplication of park names, __....___..___..__-..^�._.,•.r:a:w:�r.;:...:::,rh:�.lx�wii.::phi.ii+�NQi:wwrrbkld+a++i„tr,;s.Ge;.t�.::,:rz:::^._......�.'�_:_.....__.�.._. r Nwi 4t.64 - sn �a J,paJa anoA aAos o1,� p.. 4 _ q4 '.� - . wtY ..� �.�- K rrr 1980 % _ erg .� • .2', z } t S S�i11. 3 �` . t .4 i21f t' j 1 j `t?i s - .
