Magnolia Avenue <br /> Suite 1100 <br /> Orlando, FL 32803 <br /> RE: Florida Development Finance Corporation Board Meeting <br /> Dear Mr. Spivey, <br /> Today, I am writing to you on behalf of the Board of County Commissioners of Indian <br /> River County concerning the upcoming Florida Development Finance Corporation <br /> meeting to consider the adoption of a resolution to authorize the issuance of $1.75 <br /> billion of bonds to finance the proposed All Aboard Florida project. <br /> As you know, the Florida Development Finance Corporation meeting was initially <br /> scheduled for May 28th at 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. but was cancelled at the request of the <br /> applicant. On June 1st, the meeting was then re-scheduled for June 10th from 3 p.m. to <br /> 6 p.m. However, on Friday last week, the Florida Development Finance Corporation <br /> cancelled the June 10th meeting. In an email from the Florida Development Finance <br /> Corporation attorney, Mr. Joseph Stanton, to Mr. Stephen Ryan, dated June 5th, it was <br /> noted that "[e]fforts are underway to reschedule the meeting for another date in June, if <br /> possible." <br /> As you work with the Florida Development Finance Corporation Board to re-schedule <br /> the next meeting, I respectfully request that the groups opposed to the proposed All <br /> Aboard Florida project be afforded the same notice and opportunity to speak as that <br /> provided to the applicant. All parties should be on a level playing field. Specifically, I <br /> request the Florida Development Finance Corporation provide all interested parties and <br /> citizens with at least 30 days' notice of the next Florida Development Finance <br /> Corporation meeting. Please understand many interested citizens are trying to make <br /> summer travel plans and the pattern of scheduling hearings and re-scheduling hearings <br /> has made it difficult for people to plan accordingly. <br /> 1801 27th Street, Building A <br /> Vero Beach, FL 32960 <br /> (772)226-1490 <br /> 87 <br />
