Tr Victor De Yurre, Jul � Q pMl21 f8 Vice Mayor nnr,n Xavier L. Suarez, T , nrxri1riva !" Mayor In connection with your appointment as chairman of our Ad Hoc Committee to evaluate the F.E.C.-Bicentenial Maritime Park, I am expecting a report well in advance of the September 7, 1993 commission meeting. The reasons for the urgency of this request are as follows: 1. I would like a definitive decision by the City Commission regarding our intent to pursue the plan for the Maritime Park, which has progressed well past the conceptual design stage. This decision should be taken at the September 7th meeting. By copy hereof, I am requesting that the City Attorney prepare the appropriate resolution for our consideration. I ask that you submit your recommendation to the City Attorney and myself simultaneously, and that you do so prior to the 21st of August, so as to give him and the City Manager time to prepare whatever supporting documents are needed to comply with the 5-day rule. 2. In connection with the idea of building a baseball stadium or a new basketball arena, the possibility of a bayfront site has been discussed by various city and county commissioners. It is imperative that we know whether the F.E.C.-Bayfront Park site can be considered for a sports facility or - conversely - whether that option is precluded by the Maritime Park. If you do not believe you will be in a position to make a full report with recommendations by August 21, 1993, please advise me in writing within ten days hereof. I expect the manager will make available whatever resources you need to prepare the report; please advise me if there are additional resources you need.
