("Plan B") The MRC appreciates the City of Miami, Latitude on the River, and Neo Vertika's recent mutual efforts to bring "Plan A" to fruition, constructing the aforementioned needed public riverwalk connector without using Miami River SAP public benefit funding. 3) "Utilize the Phase 1 $5.5 million of Public Benefit funding into a Trust or Bond to be used to construct the public Riverwalk if the riverfront Phase II is not constructed." The intent of this condition is addressed in the following subsequent addition inserted into the draft development agreement, "prior to the issuance of the first temporary Certificate of Occupancy for Phase 1, the Developer shall record a Notice of Commencement and commence construction of a public riverwalk on Phase 2 of the Property." 60- Hord "o JMYf4uiVrc-afCUMSItAl 60M M Wrovle Policy- Committee: Gbve'rnor of State of Florida Mr. Rick Scott Designee: Ms. Patricia Harris Chair of Miami -Dade Delegation Representative Eddy Gonzalez Designee: Rep, Jose Javier Rodriguez Chair of Governing Board of South Florida Water Management District Mr. Daniel O'Keefe Designee: Ms. Sandy Batchelor !Miami -Dade State Attorney Ms. Katherine Femandez-Rundle Designee: Mr. Clary Winston Mayor of Miami -Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez Designee: Mr. Frank Balzebre Mayor of Miami Mayor Tomas Regalado City of Miami Commissioner Commissioner Frank Carollo Miami -Dade County Commissioner Commissioner Bruno Barreiro Designee: Ms. Marlene Avalo Chair of Miami River Marine Group Mr. Richard Dubin Designee: Mr. Orin Black Chair of Marine Council Mn Ed Swakon Designee: Mr. Phil Everingham Executive Director of Downtown Development Authority Ms, Alyce Robertson Designee: Mr. Javier Betancourt Chair of Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce Mr, Bann Johnson Designee: Ms. Megan Felly Neigborhood Representative Appointed by City of Miami Commission Dr. Ernest Martin Neigborhood Representative Appointed by Miami -Dade Commission Ms. Sallye Jude Designee: Ms. Jane Caporelli Representative from Environmental or Civic Organization Appointed by the Governor Mt: Horacio Stuart Aguirre Member at Large Appointed by the Governor Mr. Jay Carmichael Member at Large Appointed by Miami -Dade Commission Ms. Sara Babun Designee: Mr. Christian Larach Member at Large Appointed by City of Miami Commission Mr. Manny Prieguez Managing Director Mr. Brett Bibeau Miami* River Commission clo Robert King High 1407 NVV 711 Street, Suite D Miami, Florida 33125 Office: (305) 644-0544 Fax: (305) 642-1136 email; miamiriver g-bellsouth.net "rw- mi a mirive rco m missio n.o rg Please note the specifics of the proposed Jose Marti Park improvements were presented at the MRC's July 13. 2015 public 2 meeting, and the MRC recommended approval (10- 1). 41 N I sincerely appreciate the City of Miami and private sector's excellent z. development team for bringing this wonderful mixed-use v development, and significant public benefit investment, to the Miami C- Ln River District.
