Gonzalez City Manager City of Miami 3500 Pan American Drive Miami, Florida 33133 Re: Jose Milton Sculpture / 3805 NE 6 Avenue, Miami, Florida Dear Mr. Manager: On behalf of the Nilda Milton Revocable Trust ("NMRT"), we write to advise you of NMRT's public art donation to the City of Miami (the "City"). As you are aware, NMRT has entered into a Public Benefits Agreement, attached as Exhibit A, to provide various public benefits improvements at the City -owned property located at 3805 NE 6 Avenue (the "Park"). NMRT is currently working on completing these improvements at the Park. In addition to these public benefit improvements, NMRT would like to donate a sculpture celebrating the life and legacy of Jose Milton, founder of J. Milton & Associates, to be installed at the Park. Attached as Exhibit B, please find images of the proposed sculpture. This sculpture celebrates the life and wok of architect, builder and philanthropist Jose Milton. Jose Milton, a Cuban immigrant, arrived in Miami with a dream, a brilliant mind for business, and a degree in Architecture from Universidad de La Habana. He leveraged his education and unwavering dedication to become a successful entrepreneur, developer and builder, and inspiring leader who loved Miami —to him the most beautiful place on Earth. Jose Milton left his mark not only on this City's built environment but in the lives of those who knew him and experienced his generosity. In addition to his many accomplishments in business, Jose Milton created the Jose Milton Foundation which supports programs and organizations in the City and throughout South Florida that aim to improve quality of life for all, with a special focus on education, research, and healthcare. We look forward to working with the City in the installation of this proposed sculpture. NMRT's donation includes the sculpture and all costs associated with the construction and installation of the sculpture at the Park. Additionally, NMRT will enter into a maintenance agreement with the City taking all responsibility for the maintenance of the sculpture.
