The purpose of this letter is to request a hearing from
the City Commission on April 30, 1992. The reason for
this hearing is to request from the members of the City
Commission to convert the $50,000.00 loan granted to
HAFI on November 14, 1991 Resolution No. 91--789 into
a grant, due to the fact that we are a non-profit
Organization and we have not been able to raise the
needed funds to pay the same as originally expected.
The reason we have not been able to raise these funds are
various among them:
Stagment economy in the City turmoil and insecurity
in the Community due to conditions in Haiti.
Family separation and effects caused by Guantanamo's
situation and court decision towards the Haitian
refugees.
STAFF
All of the above conditions has placed the Foundation in
EXECUTIVEDIRECTOR COLETTIREY a situation were monetary contributions from the Haitian
Community have not come forward and these moneys have
been targeted instead to alleviate the conditions of those
family members returned to Haiti by the Coast Guard.
We do not foresee these conditions changing on the near
future, thus the request to convert the loan into a•
grant.
p
post ve consideration to this request is appreciated.
Cayar
