Dear Lt.Ross:

Please advisetheother parking committee membersthatduetoa significant work
schedule,Ihavehadto withdraw from several boards and have advised Mayor MaryScott Russell
ofmy decisiontowithdrawfromtheparkingcommittee.
I believe that the parking committee has by and large achieved its goal of informing the
leadership of the City of some of theproblemsthatneedtobeaddressedinordertoalleviatewhat
appears tobeavery significant shortfall of parking spaces especiallyinthehometown district.
The suggested zoningcode changes have also beenvery helpful tothe City.
Please advise the committee members that I have thoroughly enjoyed working with those
committed individuals and have learned a great deal about the City of South Miamf from all of
them.
Thankingyouforyour prior professional courtesies.I remain,
Very truly yours,
