Re: Volvo Ocean Race 2011-2012, Miami stopover bid
Dear Mr. Frostad:
I understand that a volunteer, citizen working group here in Greater Miami is preparing a bid
package for Robert Datnow at The Sports Consultancy, in hope that Miami will be chosen as the
North. American stopover during Spring 2012.
Please consider this letter an expression of my full personal support for Miami's bid, as well as
my commitment to encourage Miami -Dade County, other government jurisdictions and private -
sector organizations to collaborate in producing a world-class event should our bid effort
succeed.
As a former City Manager of the City of Miami, I fully understand that the proposed downtown
site – a portion of City -owned Bicentennial Park and nearby County -owned "Parcel B" adjacent
to the American Airlines Arena, both on Biscayne Bay—is the premier available location along
the entire Atlantic seaboard. And now as a County Commissioner, representing a waterfront
district that includes four of our community's five yachting and sailing clubs, I remain an
enthusiastic champion of competitive sailing ... of which the Volvo Ocean Race is the
worldwide leader.
In the past, Miami has demonstrated its ability to serve as a stopover site. I am confident we will
perform even better, at that same highly functional location, if selected again. As the gateway to
the Americas, our city is a vibrant, international destination for tourism and commerce, the ideal
marketplace for the global businesses so heavily invested in the Race itself.

Although I speak only for myself, if Miami is chosen I will be pleased to support the working
group as it identifies and secures all of the logistical and financial resources necessary to host the
Race in outstanding fashion.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of any further assistance.
