Re: UNPERMITTED SPECIAL EVENTS HELD ON EXTERIOR COMMON AREAS

OF THE JACKSONVILLE LANDING

Dear Mr. Liles:

As your client Jacksonville Landing Investments, LLC ("JLI") is well aware from the City's June
14, 2018 letter, pursuant to Chapter 191 of the Jacksonville Ordinance Code, all special events held on
the exterior common areas of The Jacksonville Landing (the "Exterior Common Areas") require a special
events permit. The legal basis for this requirement is also spelled out in detail in the City's pending
Motion for Preliminary Injunctive Relief. JLI's staff was further reminded of this legal requirement by
Brent Fine via email on August 30, 2018.

Despite the City's demand that JLI comply with the law, it has continuously failed to do so. JLI
has conducted multiple unpermitted events on the Exterior Common Areas since the City's June 14, 2018
letter. Further, JLI continues to promote unpermitted special events on the Exterior Common Areas, as
illustrated by the enclosed press release announcing numerous upcoming events.

While complying with the law is important, in and of itself, JLI's compliance with the special
events permitting process has become paramount in light of the recent mass shooting at the Landing.
Chapter 191 was mandated by the City "to protect and promote the health, welfare and safety of the
citizens of and visitors to the City of Jacksonville." Ord. Code §191.101(b). The special events
permitting process allows the City to verify that all special events on public property will be conducted
safely, and that the appropriate security, police protection, and fire and rescue personnel are onsite for the
event.

As JLI knows, Section 191.104 of the Ordinance Code requires application for special events
permits to be made at least 90 days prior to the commencement of the special event. JLI has not applied
for permits for any of the events listed in its press release, nor has it applied for a single future event. For
example, assuming JLI intends to promote and conduct a special event on the Exterior Common Areas
during the week of this year's Georgia-Florida football game (October 27, 2018), it has willfully missed
the deadline and failed to timely apply for the necessary special events permit.

The City demands that JLI immediately cease conducting illegal unpermitted events on the
Exterior Common Areas. These events are potentially hazardous to the health, welfare and safety of the
citizens of and visitors to the City of Jacksonville.

Sincerely,

Christopher M. Garrett
