Dear Ms. Edwards:
Teri Westervelt Vice President
Regretfully, I am writing to ask for a delayed opening until August 2006.~We had high hopes of opening in January after finally finding a suitable property through the assistance of two real estate agents. The property, located at 4100 Okeechobee, cap. potentially house the entire projected PBMA population.

Tell)' Morkert Secretary
Doug Saenz Marketing Director
Initially, the current tenants, Department of Children and Family Services, expected to leave in September. They later changed their departure to December 1. When Hurricane Wilma came through it delayed their plans again. Currently, they do not expect to leave until February.
Even though their departure is delayed we have continued with other necessary steps to occupy the property. We met with Palm Beach County zoning and discussed requirements. Zoning referred us to the department handling traffic issues. After their initial review of the site plans they do not anticipate any traffic issues. That in turn paves the way for initial approval for educational usage of the building.
As we continue to pursue the necessary procedures to secure the site, we are requesting an amendment to our contract to open Palm Beach Military Academy in August 2006.

RE: Palm Beach Military Academy
To Whom It May Concern:
Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Sean Negm and I am a realtor working in Palm Beach County. My partner Robert O'Brien and I met Jim Utterback in August where discussions took place to locate a home for his charter school Palm Beach Military Academy. We have all been working very hard to secure facilities for the school and we are currenUy in negotiations with John Fitzgerald of Atlantic Commercial Group.
The facilities are located at 4100 West Okeechobee Blvd in West Pam Beach. This facility is aurenUy being used for Department of Children and Family. It has been brought to our attention that DCF will be taking new facilities and that the space wiU be available for our use. DCF should be vacated between December and February.
Finding a location is only the beginning when were disaJssing a Charter SchooL We stiD need to insure that Palm Beach County win aOolN us to use this space for our specified use. We have made steps in accomplishing just that We have had several meeting with Palm Beach County Zoning and it looks very promising. We are aware that Palm Beach Military Academy needs to acquire an extension so we can continue our efforts in finding them a home. We respectfully request that you grant them the extension that they seek so that Robert and I can continue our efforts in opening a wonderful school in Palm Beach County.
Sincerely, Sean Negm
Realtor Palm 1;3each County
