Avenue Miami, FL. 33136 City of Miami Brownfields Advisory Board City Clerk's, City Hall First Floor Counter, City Hall City of Miami 3500 Pan American Drive Miami, FL 33133 Dear City of Miami Brownfields Advisory Board: Please except this cover letter, indicating my desire to take part and serve along with the City of Miami's Brownfields Advisory Board. My knowledge and expertise regarding Brownfields Redevelopment and the Brownfields Redevelopment area is derived from my many years of experience living in the greater Miami area. Having, grown up in this area, I have watched how my neighborhood and other neighborhoods have evolved. The cultural and ethnic diversity that has arisen in my area, has influenced many positive attitudes and at the same time has brought to my attention the need for certain enhancements to be brought forward to benefit our neighbors. As I furthered my education, I've always felt the need to be an advocate for the area in which I live in. Although, I have no complaints or regrets about where I lived most of my life. I do feel there are certain areas where there can be improvements made. Being chosen to serve on this board, I am confident that my input will be beneficial. For sure I intend to be open minded, sensitive, cautious, and aware of the needs of the area, my fellow neighbors, and what is best for the city of Miami. My interest in serving on the city of Miami Brownfields Advisory Board, is first of all an honor to sit in a such an important decision making position. Secondly, this gives me a forum to present to the board issues that are important to my community which may have been overlooked. The opportunity to have a voice in certain issues that directly affects the lives of other, is a very special thing to me. With my extensive back ground as a Health Care professional, I have always looked out for the interest of others, sometimes putting my own personal feelings and wants aside to assist those less fortunate. In regards to any conflicts of interest which might be associated with me serving on this board, I do feel that I can be fully objective and genuine in dealing with the needs of the community, solely for the basis to receive personal satisfaction and gratification for helping the community. Therefore, I have no conflicts of interest -that would affect any decision or input that I present to this board. In closing, again i would like to reiterate to the board that I will be honored to serve as an advocate } for the people. Thank you very much for the opportunity and look forward to begin this great journey to rebuild Miami as we approach the new millennium.

These approximately 16,500 sites are ' most often found in poor communities in 126 cities representing an alarming 47,000 acres of wasted opportunity to create jobs, increase local tax bases and revitalize neighborhoods. I currently reside in the heart of the Wynwood/Overtown Brownfields Redevelopment Area which includes NW 28 Street to NW 15 Street and NW 27 Avenue to Biscayne Bay. It is very discouraging and frightening to walls past these neglected, abandoned areas where drug addicts and drug dealers are found, as well as other criminal activities taking, place. It's equally discouraging to see young people hanging out with nothing to do _ because there are no job opportunities, often resorting to crime and truancy. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. In my opinion, apathy is greatest impediment to community revitalization and redevelopment. As a resident of the Overtown/Wynwood community, I consider it my responsibility to contribute to making my community environmentally safe. Serving on the City of Miami Brownfields Advisory Board will be an excellent way for me to meet my individual responsibility as a citizen, as well as educate and encourage my neighbors to become a part of the solution. Thank your for your kind consideration and invitation to be a part of the Brownfields Advisory Board, Sincerely, Cynthia Quinn Corporate OffiAvenue January 15, 1999 10990 Roe AtRnue Overland Park, KS 66211 Phone: (913) 345 3000 (owl 458.3328 Fax (9t31341147o3 City Clerk's Office Charleston office: First Floor Office, City Hall Port City Center City of Miami 701 East Bay Street.
