Recommendation:
*This item will require the waiver of section 7.3 of the Special Rules of Order from the Town of Miami Lakes

n light of the death of Marl;ins Pitcher Jose Fernandez, I propose we honor him by painting his #16 on our field at Optimist Park. Jose's positive attitude and passion for baseball made him a roll model for our young baseball players. His journey to achieve the American Dream is a story that all Cuban Americans and our community can relate to.
