RE: Participation as a Neighborhood Organization in the City of Clearwater / Urban Land InstituteCommunity Forum Meetings

Dear Mayor, Vice-Mayor, and Councilmembers:

The neighborhood representatives of the Clearwater Neighborhoods Coalition (CNC) voted to include theULI Study Implementation as one of its highest priorities for 2015. Our organization considers this

 process to be an essential element towards creating a better downtown while creating a sense of

hometown ownership within our community.

I am requesting that the CNC be granted a seat on the hosting committee alongside with the ClearwaterRedevelopment Agency, Clearwater Regional Chamber of Commerce, the Downtown DevelopmentBoard, and the Clearwater Downtown Partnership.

The success of the ULI implementation depends on active participation by Clearwater residentsthroughout the planning and implementation process. The ULI report labeled residents as the mostimportant stakeholders. The CNC offers its assistance and support by participating on the hostingcommittee as a liaison and ambassador of the Clearwater neighborhoods. We feel that this will help speed

and smooth the process of bringing the input and perspective of residents to these meetings.

Thank you in advance for your consideration of this request.

Sincerely,Clearwater Neighborhoods Coalition

Carl SchraderPresident
