Honorable Victor H. DeYurre
Miami City Commissioner

Miami, Florida 33133
Dear Commissioner DeYurre:
On behalf of all the volunteers of Hermanos al Rescate, I submit
the 'following information for your review and consideration at
your City Commission Meeting of September 8, 1994. Hermanos al
Rescate is a not -for -profit corporation who's primary purpose is
to aid political refugees who seek refuge by crossing the Florida
Straits.
With the ever increasing number of persons fleeing Cuba, Hermanos
al Rescate has been burdened with a shortage of resources thereby
limiting the number of rescue missions we are able to fly. In
additio:p to the ongoing maintenance and fueling costs associated
with our flights, Hermanos al Rescate currently pays an annual
rental fee of $62,000 to Metropolitan Dade County for a hangar in
Opa-Locka for the storage of our planes. We have requested a
waiver from Metropolitan Dade County to assist us in these
increasingly difficult times which has been repeatedly denied.
I respectfully request the assistance of the City of Miami in
urging the Dade County Commission for a waiver of rental fees
from Dade County, If the City is unsuccessful in obtaining a fee
waiver, then any financial support to assist our organization
with the $62,000 rental fee would be greatly appreciated and
vital to the continued success of our ongoing humanitarian
efforts.
I appreciate all your efforts and remain respectfully yours, 1
V
