Dear Mayor Samson and City Commissioners:
City Attomey
Please review the attached proposed resolution that I have prepared in an effort to
better convey the concept of initiating a Fashion, Film, Entertainment and
Production Council. Such a group would devote its efforts to advising the City
Commission on ways of attracting, encouraging, promoting and maintaining a
positive environment for economic development of the fashion, film, radio,
television, recording and production industries to work within Sunny Isles Beach.
We have seen the economic benefits which have followed these industries in
communities that successfully used similar committees, such as Miami Beach, Ft.
Lauderdale, Orlando, Palm Beach, Hollywood and others. Our City is an ideal
location for film "shoots" as well as for use by casting agencies and production
companies which will create jobs, and boost the economy through increased
business in local shops, hotels, apartments and restaurants.
Through professional contacts, I have already had conversations with several
people in the motion picture and film production business, encouraging them to
consider our city as a location for their next projects. Your thoughts and
suggestions are welcome on this issue which could be of tremendous benefit to
our entire community.
Since
Commissioner Connie Morrow
