I was asked to meet with Mayor • Suarez about the homeless women in the City of Miami. Since I had such a short time to contact anyone, I called you and asked you to set up others (Bernadette, yourself and anyone else). Because of the short notice, I expected to be the only ogee-aa&-that•3n fact was true, but ,it was probably for the best. .a All the items on our agenda were covered and the Mayor is going to help us on the following: 1. Quorum - He says we are not quasi-judicial and thus can reduce the number of the quorum to a reasonable number. 2. Appointments - He wants.us up to full strength, quicklyll And is willing to start things rolling - so let's get names of people who will attend meetings and put in his hands. Pronto. He a so has procedure to replace appointees through designation rather than go through Commission. He will draw up ordinance re this! 3. Budget - tie must give him info on what we need to unfreeze and he will expedite! 4. Setter Cormunications with Mayor and Commission. He wants i1CSOK to become more pro -active. He appreciates our interest _ in helping homeless women in City of Miami, suggested we help him with problems in City of Miami Police Department - under Cover Narcotics Division. 764 f ' 3 a a M T 60-1 jar Gwen Calloway, MiekMA.
