Box 4748 Clearwater, FL 34618 - 4748 December 19, 1990 Subject: Waiver Agreement Dear Mr. Held We like to inform you that we will be willing to sign a waiver agreement with the City of Clearwater in regard to operating watercraft at above address based upon the modification dictated by the City Commission to our last proposed agreement but any such agreement is subject to the following: 1 We will sign an agreement under official PROTEST. 2 We do not believe that it is fair or lawful to cite or to enforce this code against anyone other than the person directly responsible for any violation of this ordinance. 3 Mr. Gray under the terms of our lease has to approve any agreement between us and any other third party. In this case Mr. Gray will not approve any agreement that modify the agreement presented to the City which agreement Mr. Gray approved. Mr. Gray has stated he will not act against us should we enter in a workable agreement, but he reserves the right and option to challenge the City should such an agreement seeks to impair or intrude upon his private property rights. Mr. Gray contents that he is exempt from the waiver ordinance under his settlement agreement with the City. The major problem centers around the requirements of responsibility for 9 citations issued to patrons or other members of the public and the potential for abuse of this requirement and the risk of providing ground for revoking our right to conduct our business. We will still like very much to put our differences behind us in this matter and we seek to work with the City and not against it.
