My name is Jeff Marcus. I live at 920 N. Lake Way and I serve on the Executive Committee of The Preservation Foundation. I am writing today to voice my support for the Phipps Ocean Park Capital Grant and Operating Agreement. While this has been a long time coming I believe the time has been well spent. The Preservation Foundation working in conjunction with the Town has taken the time to get this right. I believe we are now on a path that will ensure that Palm Beach will have the best possible Park at a cost that has been properly vetted. The gift that The Preservation Foundation is making to the Town is unprecedented and reflects the Foundation’s commitment to preserving the heritage of the Town. And standing behind the Foundation are some of the leading citizens of our community. They too are eager to see this project come to fruition. Through the good efforts of the very capable town staff and Foundation representatives we find ourselves at the point where everyone is comfortable moving forward. So I would urge the council to approve the operating agreement. It has been heavily negotiated and represents the best efforts of well intentioned people who have a common objective in mind. Thank you.
