10 WHEREAS, on May 1, 1984, the City Commission discussed and adopted a motion that
11 renamed N.E. 10th Avenue, as Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard; and
12 WHEREAS, on January 17, 1995 the City Commission discussed and adopted a motion
13 extending Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard from I -95 to the Intracoastal; and
14 WHEREAS, since the actions by the City Commissions in 1984 and 1995 were taken
15 merely as motions, rather than utilizing a more formal process, it has resulted in a variety of
16 conflicts of address mechanisms; and

18 are allowed especially where an underlying street name is numerical and the ceremonial name is
19 phonetic; and

21 Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Northeast/Northwest 10 Avenue in the City of Boynton Beach
