Mayor Xavier Suarez,
City of Miami,

Miami, Florida 33133
Dear Mayor Suarez:
We hereby request a personal appearance before the Miami '
City Commission at the June 25th meeting to appeal for
the reinstatement of our administrative grant to the ori-
ginal level of $50,000.
It appears that the Commission was grossly misinformed
and confused by statements that the Coconut Grove Local
Development Corporation received $200,000, in administra-
tive support from the State of Florida for Fiscal Year 87-88.
In fact, CGLDC has received preliminary approval based on
our current grant application in the amount of approximately
the same as last year which was cut from $100,000, to
$85,000.
Without the City's $50,000., Coconut Grove Local Development
Corporation, will have to cut services and projects and lay
off staff members. As you know, this would devastate our
work in building one of the finest Community Development
Corporations in the State of Florida.
We urgently request your support and assistance in the re-
consideration of our grant.
Sincerely,.
Dr. Franklin F. Sa.."s c.c. Commissioner Kennedy
President Commissioner Carollo
