Why is David Yoblick on this list? He used to be the GM of CocoWalk, but does not live in the Grove, work in the Grove, or have a business here. As I recall, he doesn't even live in the City of Miami. Why should he have a seat at the table? I thought the BIC/BID was supposed to give the Grove a say over its own issues, and control over funds to make our commercial core better.
Michelle,
Had you been paying attention, you might have noticed that Mr. Yoblick remained actively involved in the BID formation process even after he left CocoWalk because he felt strongly about the need for its creation. He worked countless hours meeting with property owners to explain what was being proposed and to answer whatever questions came up. All in all, he is a fine choice for the position, certainly better than anyone from the minority clique of owners and merchants who tried to sabotage the effort every step of the way.
You should also note that he is being tapped for a non-voting slot, which means that his counsel will be freely available but can be heeded or not on a take-it-or-leave-it basis.
