Title

Resolution Supporting Dual Naming a portion of NE 49^th Avenue after PFC Joshua M. Islam (B)

This is a request for the City Commission to adopt a resolution to dual name a portion of NE 49^th Avenue between Waldo Road and NE 40^th Terrace in memory of PFC Joshua M. Islam.

Explanation

Staff received a Petition from Joel Islam requesting the dual naming of NE 49^th Avenue between Waldo Road and NE 40^th Terrace in memory of PFC Joshua M. Islam. The request to dual name NE 49^th Avenue after PFC Joshua M. Islam meets the criteria established in the Policy for Honorary Street Naming Dual Naming City Streets in that PFC Islam served our country in the US Marine Corps with distinction and gave his life in that service.  NE 49^th Avenue is located in close proximity to Florida Food Service which is a business owned and operated by a member of PFC Islam's family.  Staff recommends the dual name be 'PFC Josh. Islam Way'.

Fiscal Note

The fiscal impact associated with this request is $500 for the cost of materials and labor and is currently available in the Public Works operating budget.

Recommendation

The City Commission adopt the Resolution supporting the request to dual name a portion of NE 49^th Avenue between Waldo Road and NE 40^th Terrace as 'PFC Josh Islam Way'.
