Although I am not presently conducting business with the City of I'Miami the possibility of doing so is ever present and I have no desire to become engaged in a bureaucratic "conflict of interest" debate or confrontation. It is'tivith regret that I ask you to accept my resignation from the Watei*ont Board -Sincerely, /1 James F. Courbier Director cc: U. Plummer, City Commissioner City Attorney NOTE: If the city attorney°s office were to assure me that my presence on the Waterfront Board does not constitute a conflict of interest, I would be delighted to continue my service. 98- 26"7 836 Ponce de Leon Boulevard.

Courbier I received a letter today from our friend Jim Courbier and I have attached -it for your reference. Needless to say, you appointed Jim to the Waterfront Advisory Board for all the good reasons, and I applauded your appointment when you made it, However, as you can see, the threat of losing business just because an individual sits on a City Board and tries to give something back to the Community in which he lives is a bit too intimidating for the good, honest and competent people that you, the Mayor and the other Commissioners try to appoint. I don't know if -anything can be done in reference to Jim's note at the bottom -of his letter, but if you _ have any thoughts or suggestions both Jim and I would appreciate your contacting us. The matter that comes before you on Tuesday regarding my waiver is really somewhat unnecessary due to the fact that the State statute does exempt waivers where a sealed bid is involved. Still in all, no one that is trying to serve the City wishes to as (Jim puts it) "engaged in a conflict of interest debate or confrontation".
