EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Request the Board adopt a proposed resolution by Mr. David Silverberg that condemns anti-
Semitism in all forms and expressions; condemns all forms of discrimination, prejudice, and hate
against any person or group of people regardless of faith, race, gender, creed, sexual orientation, or
national origin; condemns any call to violence or use of violence for any purpose at any time; and
resolves to actively and vigorously oppose, investigate, and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law
any advocacy of violence, acts of violence, or crimes manifesting hatred against any person,
property, or institution based on faith, race, gender, creed, sexual orientation, or national origin,
and will provide to bigotry no sanction and to persecution no assistance.
OBJECTIVE: To adopt a resolution proposed by Mr. David Silverberg.
CONSIDERATIONS: On September 14th we each received an email from Mr. David Silverberg. The
email stated:
Dear Commissioners:
My name is David Silverberg and I’m a Collier County resident of District 2.
Yesterday, I intended to present a resolution for your consideration during the public comments at
the general meeting. Regrettably, the onset of a very brief and sudden illness prevented me from
doing so at the very last minute. I now intend to try again at the next general meeting on Sept. 27.
Better yet, it would be helpful if the Commission can put consideration of the resolution on the
announced agenda.
The resolution (the full text below and attached) is intended to put Collier County on the record as
condemning bigotry, prejudice, discrimination, hate crimes and especially, anti-Semitism of any
kind.
While all this would seem to be self-evident, in the wake of several anti-Semitic incidents in Lee
County and one overt expression of it in Collier County, I believe a reaffirmation of these basic,
bedrock, patriotic principles would be helpful. Though these principles are covered by existing law
and common assumption, their reaffirmation can do no harm and much good. Not only would
passage of this resolution reassure residents, I think it would raise Collier County’s standing in the
world and reassure potential visitors and guests that this is an open, welcoming and hospitable
destination.
Though I expected this to be a fairly routine bit of business since this is a resolution only,
nonetheless, there has been interest in it in the Jewish community. I know that some constituents
have contacted you about it even though I personally haven’t actively lobbied for it.
I know that if it were on the Commission’s agenda the community’s interest would be greater. Also,
I might point out that Sept. 27 falls on the second day of the Jewish High Holy Day of Rosh
Hashonah, the New Year, a day of particular religious significance and solemnity for Jews. Passage
of this resolution on that day would have great resonance to the benefit of Collier County. I can’t
speak for anyone but myself, but I’m sure its passage would be greatly appreciated.
I should point out that this is not the first time I have offered a draft resolution. I’m pleased to say
that last July you saw fit to unanimously approve another resolution I suggested reaffirming the
county’s allegiance to the US Constitution and Bill of Rights. That one was offered at the general
meeting and approved that day, without a prior announcement.
I am hopeful that you all will see fit to introduce and approve this resolution unanimously as well. I
am, of course, available to answer any questions and offer any clarifications you require.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
