Summary Explanation/Background
This item proposes that the Board of County Commissioners (“Board”) rename a portion of NW 11th Street between NW 27th Avenue and NW 31st Avenue in the Broward Municipal Services District (“County Road”) as “Panther Lane.” The portion of NW 11th Street between NW 23rd Avenue and NW 26th Avenue, which is in the City of Fort Lauderdale city limits, has the primary name of “Panther Lane.” Panther Lane is adjacent to Dillard High School, home of the Dillard High School Panthers. The renaming of the County Road would serve to extend the portion of the right-of-way already designated as “Panther Lane” to incorporate the portion of the right-of-way on NW 11th Street between NW 27th Avenue and NW 31st Avenue.
Pursuant to Section 336.05, Florida Statutes, the Board is authorized to name and rename County-owned streets and roads. Section 18.43 of the Broward County Administrative Code (“Administrative Code”) establishes the Board’s policies for naming property, buildings, structures, or facilities, including roads.
On September 9, 2021 (Agenda Item No. 63), the Board provided notice on the record that it would consider a proposed Resolution renaming the County Road as “Panther Lane” on October 19, 2021, as required under Section 18.43(h) of the Administrative Code. In addition, the Board directed the County Administrator to solicit the input of at least three local municipalities, homeowners’ associations, or other appropriate community groups of the Board’s proposal to designate the County Road as “Panther Lane.” Correspondence submitted by the County Administrator to such groups and the responses received are included as Attachment 1 to the proposed Resolution.
This item would adopt a Resolution (1) designating the County Road as “Panther Lane,” (2) directing the County Administrator to take all budgetary and other actions necessary to effectuate the renaming of the County Road, and (3) directing the County Administrator, as Clerk of the Board, to provide notice to the officials designated in the Resolution.
