Honorable Mayor Tom Miner, 96 ^i 10 City of San Bernardino, P2 ;48 300 N. "D" Street, San Bernardino,Calif . 92418 Dear Mayor Miner, Please find enclosed a copy of my Letter to Mr. G. Hardgrave and Mr. Les Fogassy. I very much oppose a raise in Assessment on my Property,Nr. 0134-121-20 on "E" Street. When I was Vice-Chairperson of Mainstreet Project, Mr. Sam Henley,was appointed the Business Recruitment Chairman for Mainstreet Project to bring Business down to "E" Street.He resigned,because absolutely nothing was done. I inherited his position and formed a dynamic Committee of Developers, ',' Realestate and et to Business people the p � g project going. We intended to build aBuilding for 3 or 4 Stores on our Property. I already had a Mens,Ladies, Shoe or Jewelry Store tenants committed. I worked hard to get other Stores on "E" Streat,such as international Restaurants, Sports and Yardage Stores,who gave me verbal committments�+to come to "E" Street, if I could send them an official plan,which I asked for but giver got. In fact my committee and I were very much discouraged from doing anything as we are nothing more than a Bread and Buttertown,that could not afford to support a jft Mainstreet project - I and pie were told. I called the National Mainstreet P1rcoJ ct Association in Sacramento. They very much disagreed, as they felt that San Bernardino was much better off than other cities in California who were very successful.We lost our tennants for our Store,when they came to visit "E" Street and did not like what they saw. I have lost the exIspected _income for my retirement,that we had Ra planned. I had nothing but expenses as I said for up-keep s and Taxes of $ 2.959. 55 annually. The City unfortunately also lost millions of Tax Dollars for various known reasons I,am against the higher Assessment on my property on "E" ,, S*treet as it does not seem fair to add more expenses, therefore I oppose it vigorously . Very sincerely UU . D JUN 0619 c/c Councelwoman Mrs . Norine Miller OFFICE OF THE MAYOR TIME: V .h ARE ALG®N REAL rr��3[\�j( ATE. .
