RE: Attendance Request at Governor's Cabinet Aides Meeting, December 13,
2006 and Governor's Cabinet Meeting, December 19, 2006
Dear Senator Pruitt:
The City of Fort Pierce and St. Lucie County are continuing to work with Destin
Beach, Inc., to try to develop an acceptable alternative to Destin Beach, Inc.'s
application for a Submerged Land Lease for Berth 4 at the Port of Fort Pierce to
be used for cargo.
Should a solution not be achieved by the first week of December,
representatives and elected officials of St. Lucie County and the City of Fort
Pierce are scheduled to appear before the Governor's Cabinet Aides Meeting in
Tallahassee on Wednesday, December 13th, at 9 a.m. to voice our unified
opposition for the issuance of a submerged land lease to Destin Beach, Inc. for
Berth 4 at the Port of Fort Pierce. Following that meeting, on Tuesday,
December 19th, the Governor's Cabinet will be meeting at 9 a.m. to hear the
arguments.
We will be presenting information supporting our position, including testimony
and supporting documentation from a professional witness as well as letters
from yourself, the City of Port St. Lucie, and various organizations requesting
that this application be denied.
Once again, we are requesting the Legislative Delegation's support in our
efforts and based upon your availability, attendance at these two very
important meetings. Should these meetings not be necessary for us to attend,
we will notify your office.
