Country Club Drive Aventura, Florida 33180 Re: Mayor Arthur Snyder Dear Eric: I am enclosing herewith two petitions containing over 100 signatures of A ventura residents concerning the Hon. Arthur Snyder. I would like you to know that it would be very easy for me to present to you not just the enclosed signatures but that of thousands of A ventura residents who feel as we do that Arthur Snyder should be properly honored by our city Fathers. The enclosed is simply representative thereof. The purpose of the petitions is for the Mayor, City Commissioners and officials to properly recognize and to give appropriate honor to the outstanding accomplishments of our first Mayor. It is a fair statement to say that at the time of the inception of our good city, the only official with any elective municipal experience was Arthur Snyder. Under his guidance and good judgment, the entire infrastructure of the City was established, including, but not limited to selecting our superb city Manager, establishing a police department, establishing a temporary and permanent city Hall, advancing our road improvement and beautification projects, new parks and recreation programs, etc. The list of accomplishments during his administration could literally fill pages in this letter. We are requesting that his picture be prominently displayed at City Hall in an area to be set aside for the display of similar pictures of all future Mayors and that he be appropriately honored in connection therewith. Kindly set this matter on the agenda for a workshop meeting at which time our Committee would like to be present to discuss it. Very:~~-=:~ A /'/ /' ~_ ~~.~fh:---~' Robert Diamond c.c. Hon.
