Input: HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (AP) — City commissioners in Florida have agreed to begin the process of changing the names of streets named after Confederate generals in the heart of an African-American neighborhood. 
  
 During a contentious three-hour meeting Monday night, the Hollywood City Commission voted 5-2 to begin renaming Lee Street, named after Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee; Hood Street, named after Gen. John Bell Hood, and Forrest Street, named after Confederate general and Ku Klux Klan member Nathan Bedford Forrest. 
  
 "It is time to change the names and the time is now," Commissioner Debra Case said during the meeting. "We must do the right thing and we must do it now." 
  
 The SunSentinel reports a final vote is expected when the board returns from its summer break on Aug. 30. 
  
 The current plan calls for Forrest Street to become Savannah Street, Hood Street to become Macon and Lee will be renamed Louisville. 
  
 The controversy has been brewing for a while. Two years ago vandals painted over streets signs and a similar call to change the names went ignored 15 years ago. 
  
 A clash broke out last month at city hall between those pushing for the name change and those against it. Five people were arrested. 
  
 On Monday night, Hollywood resident Cynthia Baker asked commissioners when it would end. "We have streets named for slave-owning presidents: Washington, Jefferson, Madison. Activists have said those streets are next." 
  
 Several Broward County officials were at the meeting and urged commissioners to make the change. 
  
 "It is not right that an African-American mother has to tell her child she lives on a street named after someone that wanted them in chains or dead," said Broward County Public Defender Howard Finkelstein said. 
  
 The commission voted 5-2 to waive the city's policy requiring that property owners on all three streets receive mailed ballots and vote on the matter. 
  
 Commissioners Traci Callari and Peter Hernandez offered the votes against renaming streets. The majority included Mayor Josh Levy and Commissioners Dick Blattner, Kevin Biederman, Debra Case and Linda Sherwood. 
  
 The debate isn't over. 
  
 Callari wants to impose a 10-year moratorium to prevent any other street names from being changed. And Hernandez wants to change the name of every street to a number throughout the entire city. 
  
 "If you inconvenience one, you should inconvenience them all," Hernandez said. ||||| Another city is joining the nationwide movement to purge streets, statues and monuments honoring Confederate generals: Hollywood. 
  
 “It is time to change the names and the time is now,” Commissioner Debra Case said Monday during a City Hall meeting that drew prominent elected officials from around the county. “We must do the right thing and we must do it now.” 
  
 It wasn’t quick and it wasn’t easy. 
  
 But on Monday, more than a week after a raucous protest at City Hall that resulted in five arrests, Hollywood commissioners agreed to rename streets honoring three Civil War-era generals: Robert E. Lee, John Bell Hood and Nathan Bedford Forrest, who was also first grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. 
  
 The 5-2 vote was not final. Commissioners will need to vote on the matter again on Aug. 30, when they come back from summer break. 
  
 Under current plans, Forrest Street will become Savannah Street; Hood Street will change to Macon and Lee will become Louisville. All three streets extend through the entire city, but only two — Forrest and Hood — run through the predominantly black Liberia neighborhood. 
  
 The long-running controversy made headlines again two years ago when vandals painted over the street signs. A similar call 15 years ago went ignored. 
  
 The more recent push to rename the three streets was picking up steam, with State Rep. Shevrin Jones, Broward Sheriff Scott Israel, Public Defender Howard Finkelstein and Broward Property Appraiser Marty Kiar joining the chorus of critics calling for change. 
  
 Confederate sympathizers were equally adamant the streets be left alone. 
  
 “If we pass this, where will it end?” Hollywood resident Cynthia Baker told commissioners during the two-hour debate. “We have streets named for slave-owning presidents: Washington, Jefferson, Madison. Activists have said those streets are next.” 
  
 But on Monday, Finkelstein and Kiar were among several people urging Hollywood commissioners to change the names once and for all. 
  
 “It is not right that an African-American mother has to tell her child she lives on a street named after someone that wanted them in chains or dead,” Finkelstein said. 
  
 Kiar read a letter he signed with the sheriff, who was not at the meeting: “Honoring Confederate figures who led the fight to uphold the evil institution of slavery cuts against the very values we treasure today and stands at odds against who we are as residents of Broward County and as Americans. Failing to remove these names from the city’s streets, which run primarily through diverse communities, sends the dispiriting message that racism, hate and bigotry are sadly still tolerated. This will not erase history but will be our acknowledgment that now is the time to move past such a painful part of our nation’s story.” 
  
 Before the vote, Pastor Michael Anderson implored the commission to have the courage to do the right thing. 
  
 “We stand now as we did in the beginning of this long undertaking,” he said. “The ax always forgets what the tree remembers.” 
  
 Commissioners agreed 5-2 to waive the city’s own policy requiring that property owners on all three streets receive mailed ballots and vote on the matter. 
  
 Commissioners Traci Callari and Peter Hernandez dissented but were overruled by the majority: Mayor Josh Levy and Commissioners Dick Blattner, Kevin Biederman, Debra Case and Linda Sherwood. 
  
 The debate over street names in Hollywood is not over, however. 
  
 Callari wants to impose a 10-year moratorium to prevent any other street names from being changed. 
  
 And Hernandez is advocating changing the name of every street to a number throughout the entire city. 
  
 “If you inconvenience one, you should inconvenience them all,” Hernandez said.
