Re: Letter of Support for Resolution authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and
execute an agreement with the DNC Services Corp. (Proposed City Resolution RE. 4)
Dear Members of the City of Miami Commission:
I write this letter in strong support of proposed City Resolution RE. 4 on Thursday's Commission
agenda, authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute an agreement with The DNC
Services Corp. for the provision of certain venues in and around Miami -Dade County, as well as
other 2020 Democratic Convention obligations, should Greater Miami and the Beaches be
selected to host the convention.
Our community stands to benefit greatly from hosting an event of this magnitude, which will create
a significant economic impact in our community and generate employment opportunities for our
residents. By hosting the DNC in Miami -Dade County, we would also welcome visitors and
businesses from across the nation and potentially incentivize future long-term investments and
tourism.
Miami -Dade County is the perfect place for the 2020 DNC for a number of reasons, but primarily
because of our diversity and experience in successfully hosting large, prominent events. We have
already identified several potential sites for the DNC, and are confident in our ability to host such
a prestigious event.
With your support, I hope to welcome the DNC to our world-class community in 2020, and
respectfully urge you to adopt Resolution RE. 4.
Sincerely,
STEPHEN P. CLARK CENTER - 111 N.W. FIRST STREET - 29TH FLOOR - MIAMI, FLORIDA 33128.1930 - (305) 375.1880 - FAX (305) 375-1262
