Re: Appointment to liousing Authority Commission
Dear Mayor Bower:
SBA HubZone Small Business
Due to the unfortunate passing away of leonard Turkel, I have submitted my application for appointment to the
Housing Authority Commission. I had already intended to do this when the term limit for this position would have
been reached in October of this year.
I feel confident that my experience as a board member of the Design Review Board and on construction management
assignments in Miami Beach would enhance my ability to contribute to this position. I am hopeful that my past
commitment to the ORB has demonstrated the qualities that one would desire in a candidate and gain the support of
your office as well as that of the Housing Authority's Staff.
Please find enclosed a copy of the application that I have submitted to the Office of the Clerk as well as a copy of my
resume.
I would be delighted to come to your office to meet with you and discuss this in more detail if that would help you
with your decision.
