Tuesday,April 10,2018—5:30 p.m.
Board Member Salvino recommended that we go back to meeting at 6:00 p.m. unless there is a

carried unanimously.
8. Board Member Comments
Board Member Salvino commented he talked to Director Williams earlier about the
public/private partnership for City Hall. He noted he met with Dan Patel from Choice Hotels
who expressed a desire to work with us. If he is willing to meet with Director Williams, it would
be something for us to listen to, since at one time no one was interested at all.
Director Williams said there have been a few parties interested in developing the City Hall site;
the purpose of the charrette will be to have those parties at the table. FIU will meet with Board
members individually, and then there will be a series of community workshops that the
development community can participate in.
Chairman James asked the Board if it would be better to have the charrette before or after their
vacation break.
Board Member Brandimarte suggested holding it after August.
Board Member Grace said she would like to get it out of the way before the break.
Vice-Chairman Harris noted the weeks of July 9th and 16th would be good.
Board Member Brandimarte asked about the poster art for the Arts & Seafood Celebration; she
does not want the same artist to get it over and over.
Chairman James referred to the Realtor Association's Mayors breakfast, and wanted to know
when the shirts with the new logo will be available. She added we are supposed to have a
uniform policy; at the workshop, we said each Commissioner would get four or five items.
Director Williams noted G & S Apparel is the vendor and we have finalized the logo with them.
Her understanding is that City Administration will be talking to the Commission about the
purchase of shirts.
