Edelcup <br />DATE: 5/15/2014 <br />RE: Richard C. Schulman Bench Dedication <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />It is recommended that the City Commission approve the attached resolution to <br />dedicate a bench in memory of Richard C. Schulman. <br />REASONS: <br />Richard C. Schulman provided years of dedicated service to the City. He retired <br />from the City on April 15, 2014. Unfortunately, he passed away peacefully on <br />May 4, 2014. Richard leaves a legacy of dedication to the City of Sunny Isles <br />Beach that is rivaled by few others. <br />He served the City on advisory committees and acted as liaison to the City's <br />Historic Preservation Board. As city historian, he maintained the official <br />scrapbook, tracking events and milestones for posterity. In the early years of the <br />City, he also wrote as columnist Rovin' Reuvin' for the Sunny Isles Beach Sun <br />and was official city photographer. He presided as invocator at most city <br />meetings, groundbreakings and dedications. <br />Richard was the creator and administrator of history hall named in his honor in <br />the Sunny Isles Beach Government Center. He was instrumental in the <br />publication of the City's history book "From Sandbar to Sophistication" by Seth <br />Bramson in 2007. <br />For these reasons and many more, it is recommended that we name the bench <br />by the Veteran's Wall at Heritage Park the Richard C. Schulman bench. <br />Agenda Item No. I OH <br />Date 5/15%2014 <br />195 <br />
