WEEK OF NOVEMBER 2 – NOVEMBER 8, 2015
From the Desk of the City Manager
The City’s official 90th Anniversary Celebrations
began on Sunday with the Hollywood Historical
Society’s Historic Downtown Hollywood Walking
Tour in conjunction with Cobra Joe Production’s
Dream Car Classic. Many residents and visitors
put themselves in Hollywood’s rich history by
visiting the more than 47 downtown locations on
the
tour.
Participant
s learned
about the
history of
downtown
properties along Hollywood Boulevard, Harrison
Street and around Young Circle. Everyone enjoyed
seeing the rare items that were on display from the
City’s Records and Archives division and the display
of historic photos showcasing the history of
Hollywood.
The Dream Car Classic exhibited hot rods from the
recent past to trucks from the early 1930’s. Many
thanks to the CRA for partnering with the Hollywood
Historical Society on this official birthday celebration
event and special thanks to the Office of the City
Clerk-Records and Archives and the Office of Public
Affairs and Marketing for curating and displaying
items, facilitating the City’s participation, and
producing supporting materials.

WEEK OF NOVEMBER 2 – NOVEMBER 8, 2015
From the Desk of the City Manager (continued)
I
appreciate
the
accommodation and
speed in which all
parties came together
for the Joint Special
City Commission and
CRA Meeting this past
Tuesday.
Pinnacle
Housing
Group’s
commitment
to
building at least 100
affordable
senior
rental housing units
on the nearly five and
a half acres of City and CRA owned land at Adams Street between South 24th Avenue and
South Dixie Highway is a positive step forward for the City. While I understand 100 units is
a small step when it comes to addressing the need for senior affordable housing, this
project is a welcome step forward in positioning Hollywood for the future. As the Baby
Boomer generation ages the need for senior affordable housing will undoubtedly increase.
On behalf of the City administration and staff, I extend my sincere
condolences to the Roper Family. Former City of Hollywood Vice Mayor
and Commissioner Guy Roper passed away this past Monday.
Commissioner Roper was first elected in March 1986 and re-elected in
March 1990. Mr. Roper served as Vice Mayor from March 1989 thru
March 1990 and again from March 1992 through March of 1993. The
Roper family’s commitment to the City of Hollywood dates back to
1938, when Guy’s grandfather established the popular Stratford’s Bar
and Restaurant. The people of Hollywood and a commitment to making
the City a better place for all to live was his passion. “He loved it - he
was a people person,” said his daughter, Robin Gayle Roper. In
addition to his daughter Robin, he is survived by his wife Marsha, son Guy and four
grandchildren.
