{ Dear Mr. Castaneda:
I
As per our conversation, enclosed please find some facts about
Borinquen Health Care Center, Inc. (BHCC) and why we are in a
j cash flow problem.
As you know, BHCC bought the new facility in 1987. We received
a loan from the bank for 2.1 million dollars and we paid 1.4
million for the actual building. The rest of the monies were
to be used for renovations. When we did the architectual plans
for renovations, we estimated that the renovations were going
to cost 1.1 million dollars. The bids when out, and the lowest
bid was for 1.4 million dollars.
At that time, we had to go back to find more monies for the re-
novations. Many delays came about, due to lack of funds and
problems with the Board.
Finally, in 1993, the bid from Allstar Builders (ABC) Contrac-
tors was accepted for the amount of $1,881,000. The construc-
tion began, but many unforseen costs came about. Administration
made decisions to finish the project and utilize funds that were
j meant for operations. Example: some of these expenses were;
-$220 for Real. Estate from 1987 to 1994
$200,000 extra due to Hurricane Andrew's
damages
-$39,000 for replacement of roof.
-$18,0oo for installing a fence around the parking lot to keep homeless out.
Plus, other expenses.

For the first time in 22 years, clue to the above expenses, we
are in a cash flow problem and in need of emergency funding.
Therefore, i would like to request from you the release of
funds appropriated to us by the City of Miami on May 25, 1995
City Commission's meeting.
