Box 2115 Delray Beach, klorida June 7th, 1956 Mr. William E. Lawson Jr., City Manager City of Delray Beach Delray Beach, Florida Dear Mr. Lawson: The following is in regard to the Delray Beach Yacht Basin and the long term lease for its operation between Archer & Warriner, Inc. and the City of Delray Beach. Without question it has been our full intention to provide the City with the most modern yachting facilities possible, and to operate them for the term of our lease. We believe a creditable job in that direction has been accomplished thus far. Within the last several weeks it has become increasingly apparent to us that our construction activities in Dayton 102 JUNE llTH, 1956 Ohio are such that it will take the combined efforts of both Mr. Archer and myself for an indeterminate period. For that reason we do not feel we can continue to give this boating operation our undivided and personal attention that it requires. We have therefore entered into a preliminary agreement with Mr. Stuart L. Moore, President of Sea Ray, Inc., to purchase our lease and continue the Yacht Basin operation. Mr. Moore is very familiar with this business, and we know will continue to offer excellent facilities to the visiting yachtsmen. With the foregoing in mind we ask that the City of Delray Beach approve the assignment of the lease, between Archer & Warriner, Inc. and the City of Delray Beach, to Sea ~ay, Inc. under the terms of said lease. Your co-operation in the past has been most helpful and is very much appreciated. Sincerely yours, /S/ Homer L. Warriner Homer L. Warriner HLW:mw Con~nlssioner Snow then moved that permission be granted Archer & Warriner, Inc., to assign the Lease, hel~ between them and the City of Delray Beach, for the operation of the Delray Beach Yacht Basin to Sea Ray, Inc., subject to the ap- proval of the City Attorney and further subject to there being NO EXPENSE to be incurred by the City of Delray Beach.
