I take exception to -the second ptirngral)h or Elio r.eCeronce lc-L-ter. To wit: On April 1985 "CDC Community Development Corporation Surtax Guidelines" were issued by your departmonL•, copy enclosed. On May 8, 1985 the Office of Community and Economic Development of Dade County (OCED) issued "Goals of CDC Joint Ventures under the Surtax Program" which were elaborated into the document with the same name'issued on June 12, 1985, copies enclosed. Our proposal complies in substance and form with every item required in the above mentioned guidelines. To my knowledge, these guidelines establishing the criteria and procedures for CDC participation in the Surtax program are still in effect. Furthermore, OCED's guidelines do not apply to the "Las Palmas" project, as it is not a joint. ve11tu27e. Never. L•helcss, i.L• complies with all the st.nt:ed gon1s in HvtL• clocu►nenE specially goal 113 "To physically and economically upgrade a target area." As you know, this particular project: is a priority of the City of Miami. It is also the County's showcase as the first CDC to achieve OCED's goal to built] capacity in the CDC's to. be developers on their own using conventional financing. On April 7, 1987 we officially presented the complete set of drdw ngs to your staff. All along what we have been requesting is the rating and processing of "Las Palmas" to be in the pipeline when funding is available. tix'' C32� � of Mrs Pete Ropanits August 24# 1907 Page Two TheraEorat your unwillingness to process and rate our proposal, using the existing guidelines and criteria is in -effect denying COM due process. In addition; your refusal to even examine and determine the fundability of the project is in affect jeopardizing the whole project inasmuch' we can not obtain firm financing commitments either from the private banking sources or tho 19ttitt without your acknowledgment that our project conr-orlits with the Progrb", and will be considered for funding once the PY 1988 funds are available.
