Regular City Council Meeting Minutes
Councilwoman Baskin spoke about her intention to remove the item from
the Consent Agenda. She expressed support for recognizing individuals
for their contributions to the City but opposed renaming Rolling Oaks
Park. Instead, she proposed naming the building at Rolling Oaks Park
after former Senator Oscar Braynon II.
A motion was made by Vice Mayor Stephens, seconded by
Councilwoman Julien, to approve the Item.
Councilwoman Wilson stated her respect for Senator Oscar Braynon and
his family. She suggested that the Council should reconsider the process
for renaming streets and facilities, emphasizing the importance of
community engagement before bringing any renaming item to the City
Council.
Councilman Leon expressed that the current process does not need to
change. However, he recommended that Council members use their
individual community meetings to engage residents on important
community matters and improve communication.
Councilwoman Powell emphasized the importance of processes and
highlighted the Council's responsibility to listen to residents. She
discussed various methods for recognizing individuals and expressed
support for enhancing the recognition process to include public input.
Councilwoman Wilson reiterated the importance of communication,
fairness in processes, and expressed concerns about the fairness of the
renaming process. She acknowledged her sponsorship for renaming
Carol City Park to Walt Frazier Park without a formal process and
recommended further discussion on this matter.
Councilwoman Julien thanked residents and Council members for
sharing their thoughts on the item. She noted that the process she
followed in presenting this item to the Council is customary for facility
renaming or co-designation. She provided an overview and clarified the
intent of the item.
A motion was made by Councilwoman Baskin, seconded by
Councilwoman Powell, to amend the Resolution to name only the
building at Rolling Oaks Park as the "Senator Oscar Braynon II
Center."
On the motion to amend, Mayor Harris suggested tabling the item due to
apparent unreadiness.
Councilwoman Powell proposed scheduling a Sunshine Meeting to
further discuss this item.

To be attached as an exhibit to the minutes.
Rolling Oaks Park;
This is a very sensitive issue for us in a lot of ways. We are very passionate about maintainingthe legacy of our neighborhoods and we are also just as passionate about maintaining
relationships.
In the Bunche Park area, we have had 2 street named recently for 2 of our most beloved
residents who have contributed a lot, not only to our corner of the community, but to the city. We have dedicated the playground & the football field at Bunche Park after residents who
made great contributions to both. The alumni was challenged with adding the name of TeeGreer by his family to North Dade Middle School. The neighborhood & Thunderbirds came
out against it very delicately. We wanted the family to know that we loved Dr Greer, but welove the legacy of the school more.
Same for Oscar. He is loved in this community along with his family, parents, Oscar Sr &Pat. We are proud to see his name on the walkway to the stadium, but the residents of Rolling
Oaks don’t want anyone’s name attached to that park. It is a sense of pride to them just aseverything Bunche Park is to us. Please honor their wishes.
There are a lot of residents who did a lot of important work in this community that are aging. Give them their flowers while they are here to see it.
Thank you,
ResidentBrenda Providence

Subject:Public Comment: Renaming of Rolling Oaks Park (Please Read into the Record)
Date:Wednesday, May 14, 2025 4:55:10 PM
Hi!
My name is Adrianne Derozin (18900 nw 18th court Miami Gardens Fl 33056) and I havebeen a resident of Miami Gardens since I was born in 1990. This is a long comment, but I
hope the whole letter gets read. I have been raised in this community and attended schools in itlike Crestview Elementary and Norland Middle School, and I can remember walking to
Rolling Oaks Park for school picnics during elementary. I remember beaming with pride as Itold other students that "if you take this road, my house is right down the street". I remember
walking past Rolling Oaks Park to go to Juniors and Ruiz market on 183rd street for snacks asa child and pre teen. Giving directions and saying turn by Rolling Oaks Park. I've always
known that park as Rolling Oaks Park, and with this renaming I am continuing to think thatyou do not care about the residents as much as you say. I actually have little faith in this
actually doing anything because when the residents voiced concerns about Formula 1 eventhough it was voted down it was brought back up and approved despite concerns. Red Light
cameras and school zone cameras were just added, Formula 1 just added, The UM games justadded, Miami Gardens Surcharge fee on our water bills just added. All of these things just
being added that are "supposed" to help build the city and help residents, but without a lot ofcommunity input in the process.
It's funny during election season you guys make a valiant effort to get in contact with residents
for votes, through countless fliers and text messages that I'm pretty sure no one consented to,but when things like this are on the docket to get approved there's no real effort to get
residents informed in order to come out and voice our opinions. I work in a municipality so Iknow that just posting a scheduled meeting on the city's website or putting it on the jumbotron
outside city hall counts as your public notice, but on things that affect our day to day lives Iwish you guys would use that same vigor that you have to contact us every couple of years for
elections for these important decisions. Most people in our city don't know about these thingsbecause we're too busy working to keep up with our cost of living which is 21% higher than
the national average, keeping up with our homes and helping our parents and grandparentskeep up with their homes that most of them own by the way through decades of hard work. (I
know we're one of the city's that have the majority of their residents as homeowners notrenters.), and now we're even further distracted with the antics of our current federal
administration.
I have lived in Miami gardens my whole life. (Millennial here) I've seen when they didn'tknow whether to call us Carol City, Norland, Norwood, or Opa Locka until we were
incorporated in 2003 when I was in norland middle school. I have memories of walking toNorth dade regional library and spending hours reading books, and wishing I could go to
Bunche park with friends during the summer but unfortunately my grandparents were too over
Docusign Envelope ID: BA490C19-9E83-4497-B118-8FAB083CCF8B
protective. I saw when Starbucks came on Ives dairy road and 441 when I was in high school(often a marker that a city has a great flow of revenue). I've witnessed the last days of Carol
City Flea market and the demolition of that Plaza that included an empty club that I never gotto party in but remember its place and heard stories about.
As I get older I realize that change must happen and life moves forward, but at one point or
another you all have made your election run on the basis of developing Miami gardens withthe RESIDENTS in mind. Some of you are quoted saying that you're concerned about the
expansion of the city at the expense of your constituents, but yet these decisions and proposalsare starting to do just that. I'm beginning to wonder how this Miami Gardens city centre is
going to affect us in the long run and if it will eventually be the bane of our existence. I'm alsostarting to have less faith that this city will be a continued source of black excellence with
working and middle class families many of which who got their roots in Miami gardens afterbeing pushed out of overtown with the development of I-95, or got their roots here through
immigration at one point in their families' history. Will we eventually be casted out of a citythat we helped build in the name of progress and development too? Two things I've learned
with history is that it repeats itself, and that given the chance, accomplishments by blackpeople are always on the chopping block to be erased as you can see with the opposition of
learning about Black History (American History) in schools today and the threat toremove funding for The National Museum of African American History and Culture. I don't
want this great city to be added to the list of erasures that some are foaming at the mouth tohave. Develop yes, make this city better for all of the wonderful families living here yes, but
making decisions that negatively affect your constituents in the long term or erase memoriesfor those who even made it possible for you to even have a seat on a dais as a
councilman/woman? No.
Sincerely,
A very concerned resident
