COVER LETTER LETTER OF INTEREST <br />Joseph S. Geller has practiced law for over 35 years, including over 20 years providing service as a municipal attorney to Florida <br />municipalities. He has been the principal attorney for five (5) different municipalities and has assisted many others. His service in <br />elected office, his long career as an attorney with multiple concentrations, and his extensive municipal experience for many <br />entities combine with his reputation for fairness, integrity and good judgment to enable him to help the City of Sunny Isles Beach <br />to achieve its goals. Mr. Geller is currently in his third term serving in the Florida House of Representatives, representing District <br />100, having been elected in November 2014, and re-elected without opposition in November 2016, and again in November 2018. <br />Perhaps more importantly, Mr. Geller served as Mayor of the City of North Bay Village, having been elected in November 2004, and <br />re-elected without opposition in November 2006. This service as a municipal elected official gives Mr. Geller a unique insight into <br />the functioning of municipal government. In addition, his legislative service has given him special insight and ability in legislative <br />interpretation. <br /> <br />Also, a recent addition to our firm is Mayor Francis Suarez of the City of Miami, who has extensive experience in local government. <br /> <br />Due to confidentiality agreements and privacy concerns the firm is unable to provide a list of malpractice claims and/or ethics <br />complaints for our 200+ attorneys. However, none of the attorneys proposed for this engagement have been disciplined by the <br />Florida Bar within the last 10 years. If you would like to discuss this further, please contact Mr. Geller. <br /> <br />As requested, the Firm’s Lawyers Professional Liability Insurance is provided by Berkley Select with the sum insured amount of <br />$5,000,000 in the aggregate including reasonable costs, charges and expenses. If you would like to discuss this further, please <br />contact Mr. Geller. <br /> <br />In closing, it gives us great pleasure to submit this response to your advertisement. Mr. Geller and the Greenspoon Marder team are <br />truly excited by the opportunity to serve the City, with the full resources and expertise available to us. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Greenspoon Marder LLP <br /> <br />By: ______________________ <br />Joseph S.
