the issue. Said hearing will occur within sixty days of thc Board receiving the Recipicnt's
written request. Staff will recommend appropriate action to the Board.
H) Costs to Recipient rcsulting from obligations incurred by the Recipient during a suspension or

Dear Mr. Szerlag:
RE: Buildiug Better COlllllluuities (BBC) luter/ocal Agreelllellt
PROJECT NUMBER 15-70564/CENTRAL ISLAND
DRAINAGE 56-70563/REDESIGN ACTIVE PARK
Enclosed please find two (2) original executed Interlocal
Agreements with Exhibits for the above captioned projects.
Part of our community outreach program requires that we identify
each BBC project with a project sign. Please contact Frank
Barriga (305-375-2504) when the projects are within six months of
starting construction and identify the location for the sign to be
installed.
Additionally, our office would like to be notified at least 30 days in
advance of all ceremonial activities. While the municipality will
most likely handle the ccremonial activities, Roslyn Alic-Batson
(305-375-5658), should be contacted to coordinate a County
presence.
Thank you for your continued support of the Building Beller
COllllllunities Bond Program.
Sincerely,
. . (-- / \
