DISCLOSURE OF LOCAL OFFICER'S INTEREST
I Philip Levine ,hereby disclose that or, o 3 2L
(a)A measure came or will come before my agency which(check one or more)
inured to my special private gain or loss; **(see P.2, attached)
inured to the special gain or loss of my business associate, ;
inured to the special gain or loss of my relative,
inured to the special gain or loss of ,by
whom I am retained;or
inured to the special gain or loss of ,which
is the parent subsidiary,or sibling organization or subsidiary of a principal which has retained me.
(b)The measure before my agency and the nature of my conflicting interest in the measure is as follows:
I am a partner in the ownership of Royal Media Partners, LLC. I was recently made aware that Shinola is an
advertising client in Royal Media Partners'Port Shopping Brand Program which includes print advertising in three
Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd. in-stateroom magazines, a brand listing on Port Shopping maps, digital listing on
Port Shopping website and app, and brand video on in-stateroom television. I did not have this information on
April 23, 2014,when I placed an item regarding a proposed donation of clocks by Shinola to the City,for
placement on public property. At that time, however, no formal action was taken by the City Commission other
than to reach out to Shinola and come back to the City Commission with a proposal.
The subject measure which came before the City Commission on June 11, 2014,was a ministerial matter which
only referred (i.e. transmitted)Shinola's proposed donation of clocks to the City, for placement on public property,
for discussion by the City's Land Use and Development Committee(LUDC). No discussion was held at the City
Commission meeting, nor was any other action taken by the City Commission (with regard to Shinola or its
proposed donation), other than to refer the matter to the LUDC for further discussion. (cont'd on pg 2, attached)
If disclosure of specific information would violate confidentiality or privilege pursuant to law or rules governing attorneys, a public officer,
who is also an attorney, may comply with the disclosure requirements of this section by disclosing the nature of the interest in such a way
as to provide the public with notice of the conflict.

Notwithstanding, and acting on the advice of the City Attorney, I was advised to err on the side of caution; abstain from
participating and voting on the referral item; and file the subject voting conflict.
** It is my belief that any special benefit or gain, either to me or to my company, based upon either the 4/23/14 or
6/11/14 measure, or.resulting from a donation of Shinola clocks.to the City, is remote and, at best, speculative.
However, in the interest of full transparency and disclosure, I have checked off the above box.
