OF SUN P <br />To: <br />From: <br />Date: <br />Re: <br />City of Sunny Isles Beach <br />17070 Collins Avenue, Suite 250 <br />Sunny Isles Beach, Florida 33160 <br />(305) 947 -0606 City Hall <br />(305) 949-3113 Fax <br />(305) 947 -2150 Building Department <br />(305) 947 -5107 Fax <br />MEMORANDUM <br />The Honorable City Commission <br />Lynn M.
