Re: Support for RE.8 Creating Marine Industrial Vocational
School Program
Dear City of Miami Commissioners:
This letter serves as the Miami River Commission's (MRC) "official
statement" as requested in City Resolution 00-320, for agenda items
which impact the Miami River and the Miami River Corridor.
Commissioner Frank Carollo, School Board Member Ms. Lubby
Navarro, and Mr. Nathan Kurland, Chairman of the Miami Bayside
Foundation, presented this important and exciting item during the
Miami River Commission's January 4. 2016 public meeting. The
Miami River Commission's adopted strategic plan, the award winning
Miami River Corridor Urban In011 Plan. recommends the creation of a
needed Marine Vocational School program to teach students the skills
necessary to secure good marine industrial jobs, which pay above the
County average. This program will include a test for the American
Boat and Yacht Council Certificate (ABYC). We strongly recommend
the numerous job generating marine industrial businesses on the Port
of Miami River to support this new program through internships and
instructional opportunities.
Your time and continued strong support for the Miami River District
are appreciated.
Horacio Stuart Aguirre
Chairman,
Miami River Commission
