A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROVING, BY 5/7TH VOTE, AND FOLLOWING A DULY NOTICED PUBLIC HEARING, THE NAMING OF THE CLUBHOUSE STRUCTURE LOCATED IN THE PARK TO THE NORTH OF THE MIAMI BEACH CONVENTION CENTER AS THE "CARL FISHER CLUBHOUSE."

As  the renovation of Miami Beach Convention Center nears completion, there is an opportunity to name the clubhouse located adjacent to the previously existing 21st Street Community Center (also known locally as Miami Beach Municipal Golf Clubhouse, and Carl Fisher Clubhouse).

The clubhouse, completed in 1916, is one of the oldest structures still standing in Miami Beach, and was constructed by Carl Fisher as the clubhouse for one of his three golf courses.

The Greater Miami Convention Center and City staff collaborated on suggested names for the clubhouse.

1. The Clubhouse,
2. The Old Clubhouse, and
3. The Historic Clubhouse

On  May 16, 2018 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item C4 AK - Discussion Regarding Naming for the clubhouse was referred to the May 22, 2018 Neighborhood/Community Affairs ("NCAC") Committee.

During the May 22, 2018 NCAC meeting, NCAC recommended that the City Commission Name the clubhouse the "Carl Fisher Clubhouse."

During the June 6, 2018 City Commission meeting, the Commission set the public hearing for June 27, 2018 to consider the proposed naming the clubhouse structure located in the park to the north of the Miami Beach Convention Center the ‘Carl Fisher Clubhouse.”

The Administration recommends the approval pursuant to Section 82-503(a) of the City Code and following a duly noticed public hearing and a 5/7th vote, the renaming of the clubhouse structure located in the park to the north of the Miami Beach Convention Center the ‘Carl Fisher Clubhouse.”
