MEMORANDUM
TO: City Commission
FROM: Ronald J. Wasson, City Manager
DATE: April 29, 2020
SUBJECT: Aventura High School Senior Recognition Car Parade (Mayor Weisman)
May 1, 2020 City Commission Special Workshop Agenda Item 2
We were asked to help Aventura graduating seniors who will not be having official
graduating ceremonies, proms and parties due to the COVID-19 virus to be allowed to
participate in a brief vehicle parade around Country Club Drive under the supervision of
the Aventura Police Department. Former Commissioner Michael Stern, who is the primary
organizer of this proposed event, has asked if the City of Aventura could allow and support
this one-time event. The basic plan was for a vehicle parade around Country Club Drive
under police escort with participating seniors (one family/student per car). The event
would be held on May 14th at 6 p.m. and leave from the south/west Aventura Mall parking
field. All participating vehicles under police department supervision, would proceed to
Country Club Drive and go around the circle. After proceeding around Country Club Drive,
the parade would be over and all vehicles would disperse. Some of the rules that will be
enforced:
• All participating senior graduating students will be required to register for the
parade prior to the event date. (The parade will be limited to 125 vehicles)
• All vehicles with a graduate must be accompanied by at least one parent.
• Gift bags (if any), will be distributed at the start of the event as the vehicles are
lined up.
• The event will end after the vehicles have circled Country Club Drive twice. At that
time, all participates will disperse. There will be NO assembling after the event.
• The police department will formulate a standard operation plan once approval is
given to the event. (Covers supervision, patrol assignments, number of officers
required and any special requirements for the event)
• The entire event should last approximately 1:45 hours
As this event is planned out and finalized, there could be some minor modifications,
however these listed basic rules will be followed. If there are any questions regarding this
event, please feel free to call me at your convenience.
I have placed this matter on the Workshop Agenda for discussion and direction by the
City Commission.
