Dear Mavor Carollo:
This letter is to request your sponsorship of a pocket item to restore funds to
Coconut Grove Local ,Development Corporation for housing development
administration in the amount of $50.000.
The basis for our request is that without precedent. the Housing Division arbitraril',
imposed retroactive completion goals which were unrealistic and for the most mart.
unobtainable. The Division then used these capricious standards to justify a negative
recommendation for the Cocynitt Grove Local Development Corporation.
During the past two years, Coconut Grove Local Development Corporation has
joint ventured and completed four single family units in the city of Miami and is in
predevelopment on seven others. The above funding is crucial to our ability to continue to
provide affordable housing and we respecttuily request your restoration of tundin`J for
the task.
Sincerely,
David J. Alexander
Executive Director
