ENCLOSURES: (List of Members)
The Citywide Community Development Advisory Board was created to advise the City
Commission on community development and housing needs. The board will be responsible for
providing a leadership role in encouraging target area -wide resident participation in the citywide
grant process as follows: (a) Promoting interest in grant activities in the target areas; (b)
Providing residents with an opportunity to discuss community concerns and related issues; (c)
Providing an opportunity for City residents to identify community needs; (d) Facilitating two-way
communication with government representatives and target area residents, and assisting the
City in communicating its program services and benefits to residents; (e) Recommending
priorities for community improvements; (f) Reviewing the progress of community improvement
activities; and (g) Conducting public meetings.
City Code Section 2-429 states:
"The terms of office of the members of each board shall run concurrently with
the term of office of the commissioner that nominates each member. When
the nominating commissioner leaves office the board member's term shall
expire."
Thirteen (14) appointments are needed at this time:
• Mayor Carollo has two vacancies to fill.
• Commissioner Regalado has one nomination. Said seat is presently held by Dorothy
Quintana, who had been nominated by then Commissioner Carollo for a term which will
expire on May 5, 1997.
• Commissioner Dunn has two nominations. Said seats are presently held by former
Commissioner Miller Dawkins and Irby McKnight, who had both been nominated by former
Commissioner Dawkins for terms which will expire on May 5, 1997.
• Commission at -large: has eight confirmations. The eight elected target area members
have terms which expired on May 5, 1996. The Department of NET/Community
Development held elections in each of the eight target areas in August. The results of said
elections are as follows:
Mariano Cruz was elected in Allapattah.
Balaam Welcome was elected in Overtown,
Fernando Gonzalez was elected in Little Havana.
Lorenzo Jackson, Jr. was elected in Model City.
Eleanor Kluger was elected Downtown.

Linda Kearson, Assistant City Attorney and counsel for the Citywide Community Development
Advisory Board, informed us that the City Commission may take one of the following
actions: [a] appoint a representative in the case of Edison/Little River (tie vote) and
Wynwood (no nomination was made for target area seat), where the elections did not
produce one winner; or (b] direct the Administration to hold another election in either one
or both of said target areas. Please be aware that meetings for this board begin October 4,
1996; therefore, holding another election for the two target areas that did not elect members
(Edison/Little River and Wynwood) would delay filling those seats until after the meetings have
begun.
For your information, attached please find a copy of the current membership to said board. By
copy of this memorandum, we are requesting that the Agenda Office place this issue on the
October 10, 1996 Commission agenda.
