Dear Or. Stoddard;
St. Alban's Day Nursery (DBA)St. Alban's Child Enrichment Center underwent some
changes in administration during 2012, As a result of these changes, I was appointed the
fole of Executive Director in JUne 2012, Prior to my appointment. the center was assessed
several fines, for false alarms during the months of October 2011 to March 2012, The total
balance for the finesare $2,050.00 and include several $75.00 and $200.00 fees forthe
months of October2011. November 2011. December 2011, February 2012 ang March 2012,
I inherited this debt and am attempting to find a solution. We are in the process of assessing
the cause of the false alarms, which are likely related to a faulty sensor. Webypasseci the
sensor as we attempted to find thecaljse of the problem. OUfservice with ADT Security has
also been disconnected and the total cost of reinstating proper service to the facility IS
$811,91
Whlle we would like to settle thearnount due to the city and pay the fines, doing so would
cause our agency severe trnancial hardShip. As you know, OUf center is a 501 (C)3 non-
profit corporation, with limited resources, All of the children at our South Miami Center attend
our Free Head Start program; and, we do not chargeany of thefamllies for the services that
they recejve. We operate on a very tight budget, which does not allow us any surplus, We
would like your help in getting these fines waived. as we are not in a position to pay. Your
assistance in this hlatter would be greatly appreciated. so that we can continue to provide
quality services to the children and families in South Miami.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 305·443-1234 or
slewis@stalbanschildcare,org.
