Acting Chairman Davis then called for a show of Hands opposed to the name change.  Visually in the video below, it appears that 15 Board members voted to oppose the motion to change the name of Seven50 to Sustainable Communities Initiative:

Palm Beach County:

  • Council Member Joni Brinkman of the Village of Palm Springs in Palm Beach County
  • Vice Mayor Paulette Burdick of Palm Beach County
  • Council Member Michael Davis representing Palm Beach County
  • Mayor James DuBois of the Town of Lake Park in Palm Beach County
  • Mayor Samuel Ferreri of the City of Greenacres in Palm Beach County

  • Council Member Michael Houston representing Martin County

St. Lucie County:

  • Council Member Reece Parrish representing St. Lucie County

The final vote of hands recorded at: 5 in Favor, 15 Opposed.  The motion failed to pass.  The three northern counties of Martin, St. Lucie and Indian River were clearly overwhelmed by the solo southern county: Palm Beach.

Next motion, anyone?   Change the name Treasure Coast Regional Planning Association to Palm Beach Regional Planning Association (PBRPC)?
