As you are aware, the dike, which provides flood protection for communities surrounding <br />LakeOkeechobee, does not meet levee safety standards and has structural deficiencies. <br /> <br />Failure of the dike would have catastrophic consequences for communities surrounding Lake Okeechobee. As <br />the impact of the failure of the dike would 'be felt throughout the District, the District initially requested about a <br />month ago that your local government pass a resolution in support of the District's resolution. <br /> <br />If your local government has passed a resolution, please e-mail me a PDF of the signed resolution or mail it to my <br />attention at the South Florida Water Management District, 2121 SW 3rd Ave, 6th FI, Miami, FL 33129. <br /> <br />If your local government has not passed a resolution yet, please advise our office whether it will be passing one. <br />Since I will be out of the office until July 12, please send information on whether your local government will be <br />passing a resolution on the Herbert Hoover Dike to Alex Suarez at alsuarez@sfwmd.gov. Mr. Suarez can also be <br />reached at (305) 377-7274ext. 7280. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />Lewis Beilman <br /> <br />Lewis J.
