Based upon that` conversation, and follow-up correspondence from the League, it is not necessary for the City of Miami to enter your name for nomination, as you have already been nominated by the FMLC Chairman and Board of Directors. However, the City must have membership in the FMLC, which is automatic with the execution and filing of the Interlooal Agreement and authorizing resolution. To meet that requirement, the League has forwarded to the City authorizing resolutions and an Interlocal Agreement providing for the City's membership in the FMLC. Those documents have been placed with the Manager, who is at this time having them h reviewed in preparation for their execution and filing.— We will keep you apprised of the progress in the processing of - those documents. 4 4 bSf h r t �� Yh �E 4a KKR � 1 i r
