Title
Resolution to Dual-Name Northwest 16th Terrace to "Officer Scott Baird Boulevard" (B)
Explanation
Gainesville Police Officer Scott Matthew Baird lost his life in the line of duty on February 12, 2001. He served faithfully and with genuine dedication from April 1999 to February 2001. In the performance of his duties, he gave his life to protect the lives and property for the citizens of Gainesville. The City of Gainesville and the community wish to dedicate themselves to his memory and the supreme sacrifice he made by: holding a public recognition in his honor; and by dual-naming Northwest 16th Terrace between Northwest 16th Avenue and Northwest 23rd Avenue, in the City of Gainesville, Florida, to "Officer Scott Baird Boulevard," so that his sacrifice and dedication to humanity and justice will always be remembered.
Fiscal Note
The funds for producing the signs are available in the Public Works Department operating budget.
Recommendation
The City Commission: 1) approve the Resolution authorizing Northwest 16th Terrace between Northwest 16th Avenue and Northwest 23rd Avenue to be dual-named as "Officer Scott Baird Boulevard"; and 2) authorize the City Manager or designee to execute and carry out all necessary action to fulfill the Resolution.
