The Miami River Commission thanks the City of Miami for including needed funding for the Miami River District in this and future Miami Forever Bond funding issuances, consistent with the approval of the voters of the City of Miami. I applaud the City of Miami for being awarded a Phase I grant from the Florida Inland Navigation District for a cost share to design and permit improvements to Jose Marti Park, which then the City is eligible to apply again to FIND for a Phase II 50/50 matching grant for construction. Your time and continued strong support for the Miami River District are appreciated. Sincerely, Horacio Stuart Aguirre Chairman, Miami River Commission 519 5—'S03oiA-0\- 3trA6 1)6A)-- 41`^` �,ve(V\i IAk\ .\iOf eAjef ,0,,,A \ 3Ue, Lt4trn QN4Assio er'
