the Plat thereof,as recorded in Plat Book 11,at Page 71,of the Public
Records of Palm Beach County, Florida.

Dear Ms.Swanson,
My client,Catherine Speth,owns two undeveloped properties directly on the Intracoastal waterway,and
would like to donate them to the City of Boynton Beach. She understands at this time the City will not be
able to develope the land into a park.
If the properties can be developed into a park at a future time, Mrs.Speth has requested to have the park
named "THE CATHERINE RYAN SPETH PARK"or a similar variation thereof when it is developed.
Thank you for your attention to this matter and for considering accepting these properties as a donation
to the City of Boynton Beach. The signature of Mrs. Speth appears below as authorization for the
representations made in this letter. We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely urs 1/
