Overview

• The commission approved the measure 3-2 after a meeting that ran past midnight with more than 80 speakers and an overflow crowd.
• Yes votes came from sponsor Richard DeNapoli, Mayor Edmund Malkoon and Theo Poulopoulos, while John Graziano and Randy Strauss opposed it.
• Officials said the change is limited to adding the president’s name on a single sign at Sea Grape Drive at Commercial Boulevard without removing the existing name.
• The Florida Department of Transportation will design and deliver the new sign at a later date.
• Opponents vowed to continue their fight over what they called a divisive move, as supporters cited a tradition of honoring presidents and Trump’s strength with local voters.
