Attn: Jorge Gonzalez, Village Manager
Dear Mr. Gonzalez,
Pursuant to my comments at last night's council meeting, we hereby submit a formal offer to
acquire the Bal Harbour Village Hall site. As consideration for this proposed purchase and sale,
we offer $15,600,000 (intended to cover the costs of building a new village hall, inclusive of
underground parking) and EITHER the SunTrust Site OR the Fairfield Site, as the Village deems in
its best interests.
We respectfully ask that this matter be considered at the January council meeting where, if the
council so approves, the matter can be finally decided by the Village residents through
referendum.
Please let us know what might be further required of us.
