Re: Miami Circle
Interlocal Agreement between Florida Department of State and Florida Inland
Navigation District, Project Number: ICW-FDS-07-04
Dear Secretary Detzner:
At the direction of the Board of Commissioners of the Florida Inland
Navigation District ("FIND"), I am writing to request your assistance in resolving a
problem that has arisen between our two agencies. As you may be aware, FIND and
the Florida Department of State ("Department") entered into an Interlocal Agreement
dated February 7, 2008 ("Agreement') pursuant to which FIND provided the
Department with a grant of $548,808.86 to be used for the Miami Circle Shoreline
Stabilization project ("Project'). Among the Department's responsibilities under the
Agreement and the FIND rules incorporated therein by reference is the obligation to
maintain the Project "in accordance with the standards and maintenance for other
local facilities and in accordance with applicable health standards" and to keep the
Project "reasonably safe and in reasonable repair to prevent undue deterioration and to
encourage public use." See, Agreement, Section 6.d. and Rule 66B-1.004(6), Florida
Administrative Code. The Secretary of State at that time also executed a Resolution
dated October 31, 2007 in support of the Department's application for grant funding
in which the Department certified to FIND "that it will accept the terms and
conditions set forth in FIND Rule 66B-1, F.A.C. and which will be a part of the
Project Agreement for any assistance awarded under the attached proposal" and "that
the project will be operated and maintained at the expense of said Florida Department
of State for public use [emphasis added]."
In spite of numerous written and e-mail communications to the Department
describing the deteriorating conditions and lack of maintenance of the Project, from
both FIND's Miami -Dade County Commissioner and from the Managing Director of
the Miami River Commission, the Department has failed to correct the situation.
Prior to sending a Notice of Default pursuant to Section 9 of the Agreement, the
Board of Commissioners desires to reach out to you as the agency head to make you
aware of the problem and request your assistance. If this problem is not resolved,
FIND may be forced to invoke the refund provisions in the Agreement. FIND
considers this a last resort and we are hopeful that your intervention will make this
drastic step unnecessary.

Please do not hesitate to contact me or Mark Crosley, FIND's Executive Director, if you need
any additional information. Thank you for your anticipated assistance.
