SAN LEANDRO DOWNTOWN BUSINESS ASSOCIATION <br />c/o Kenneth Pon, President <br />114 Parrott St <br />San Leandro CA 94577 <br />October 2, 1996 <br />City Council <br />City of San Leandro <br />835 E 14th St <br />San Leandro CA 94577 <br />Dear City Council Members: <br />510-895-2011 <br />On behalf of the San Leandro Downtown Business Association, I am requesting that you bring the <br />ice skating rink funding up for reconsideration at the October 7 City Council meeting. Due to a <br />misunderstanding on our part that the Council meeting where you denied the funding was for the purpose <br />of determining WHETHER TO FUND the ice skating rink and not, as we thought, HOW TO IMPLEMENT, <br />no representation from the Association was present to provide support in favor of funding. We would like <br />an opportunity to provide that support now. <br />Recognizing how much the ice skating rink contributed to creating a positive outlet for children <br />and an opportunity to attract new business for the downtown merchants, we have committed to champion <br />an effort with Mayor Ellen Corbett to raise $60,000 in pledges by the end of this month to resurrect the ice <br />skating rink. <br />As a supporter of our business community, I'm sure that you share my interest in ensuring that <br />children are not left idle during the holiday season and that every effort is made to support businesses in <br />downtown San Leandro. <br />Thank you for your consideration and please do not hesitate to call my office at 895-2011 if you <br />have any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />L' <br />Kenneth Pon, President <br />44-d <br />
