City and County officials will be asked to briefly share their plans and commitments for improving the area's image, and to reassure residents and non-residents that safety for all is a goal that the City and County will strive to bring Into reality.

Box 014751 Miami, Florida 33101 Subtrai,c,jc d iu c tbe �u aJzc ECQyCI y 1 col nc, t; Rein an Z• Officers and Members of the Board and Mr. Lana: I have read with great concern the letter of June 10, 1994 of Mr. Adrean Lana, whose concerns for the Old Dorsey Library and the Overtown community appear to be both conscientious and viable Ideas and ideals for a better Overtown neighborhood. Approximately three years ago, I supported the Overtown Advisory Board in fostering this building as a Historic Site, an that the building should be rehabilitated and restored for purposes of value in the community. Might I add, this Board, at this time has done absolutely nothing. I should hope that this Board and Mr. Lana can work together in accomplishing more than the City of Miami, in that it allowed it at one time to become a Crack House, and make this site useful and beneficial in a neighborhood that has so many vital needs. Now, it sits and rots and deteriorates daily. Mr. Lana has my support in his efforts to serve the children of this community and my old neighborhood, and it is my personal hope that this community Board will give him their support.' He has my support as the daughter and legal heir of Dana Albert Dorsey, my father. I think his gift to the citizens of Miami deserves better from both the community Board and the City of Miami. It has r ally taken this Board too long to do NOTHING. Assist this yo�g man in helping all of our children. ncer/ely, (Mrs.) Dana Dorsey Wapma The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission The Carrie Meeks, Member of Congress 94- 692
