Title
DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO AUTHORIZE THE NAME CHANGE OF “WE LOVE PEMBROKE PINES” TO “WE LOVE PEMBROKE PINES FOUNDATION” AND APPROVE THE REQUIRED FICTITIOUS NAME FILING.
Summary Explanation and Background
SUMMARY EXPLANATION AND BACKGROUND:
1. During the process of finalizing the logo for the We Love Pembroke Pines organization, City Administrative staff discussed with Administration and a few members of the Board the idea of adding the word “Foundation” to the name. This change would help distinguish the organization from others with similar names and emphasize its status as a nonprofit entity.
2. Using a fictitious name will not require the Board to redo any of the organization’s existing 501(c)(3) documentation or other filings completed during its initial establishment.
3. Requesting the Board approve the name change to "We Love Pembroke Pines Foundation" and the filing of the required fictitious name forms.
