<br />Summary Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting <br /> <br />June 15,2011 <br /> <br />City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida <br /> <br />the adjacent property. The success of our project and the partnership that we enter into will <br />serve to enhance their project as well, and they have extensive experience in building these <br />types of facilities. In the backend of the deal is where the Milton family is taking a larger <br />share of the risk in saying that they will provide the City with 60,000 square feet of parkland <br />for $700,000 when the actual cost for the City should really be $1.7 Million. If in fact they <br />are in a position where they don't find a tenant for this property and they do have to provide <br />this parkland to the City, they will provide it at a loss. <br /> <br />Public Speakers: Cliff Schulman, Esq. <br /> <br />Attorney Cliff Schulman representing 4M Investors, LLC said it was a pleasure dealing both <br />with City Manager Cohen and City Attorney Ottinot in representing the City's best interests <br />and he believes they have reached agreement on all major points. <br /> <br />Commissioner Aelion noted that the cost was within industry standards. Commissioner <br />Scholl asked if the City can unreasonably withhold approval of any restaurant tenant that they <br />proffer, and City Attorney Ottinot said yes, that the City Commission has the final say.
