:Dear Councilman Rowell&
It h,.lS come to my attention, by people who were present at the
Monday september 20, City council meeting, that you snowed extreme
displeasure towards the people who "dared" to show interest in
their Village affairs.
May I ass~re you that the people who signed the letter pertaining
to Fatroleman Kenneth's promotion, most de:fin'''~ely were l~orth
Orlando residents!
r
It is beyond my comprehension -that you, an elected official of the
people, have reacted in such a manner. We certaInly do not expect
you to jump, just beoause we have expressed our opinion on this
or any other matter. However, we do expect you to at least weigh
the opinion of the people who have put you in offioe to represent
them.
If you have any further question, as to who ciroulated this letter,
you may feel free to eon tact me or ~lY other person who signed the
letter. fe all live in North orlando and are not hard to find.
In closing mt:l,y I remind you, THIS IS OUR CITY TOO!! r We intend to
stay intrested in Village affairs, after all eleotion time is not
that far off.
Sincerely,
X. ;,;, ~."..... ~ oJ'" ,.'",

Dear Mr8. Baker:
'!'his will acknoWledge and t.ha.n1t you for your letter of sep1:-.ber 21, 1971.
It is ~ a p1eUUft to know that such a relatively nwcaraer sud1 as
you, having 11". in NOrth orla*lo only .!.Dee on or aDout Much of this
year, and ODe who is DCJt even eligible to vote, haS such an intereSt in
Village affain.
However, I beUAwe it. would behoove you to at;t.eft:l councU meetingS, rather
t:ban to rely on hearSaY- to pr0cee4int;Ja. You 1It.a1:84 in your let:ter that
it had caDa to your attent.ion by people _0 were preeeDt. that. I showed
ttext;remeu 4ispleaSure t:otru:4 thOll8 who "aarea. shOIf ~ in Villaqe
affain.
Firat, I WOJ.14 like to aay that the tenor of your letter placeS me, at
least in yC7d% opinion.I of bein9 on trial. May I po1l* out to you that
hearsay evidence is DOt. a4viaab1e, thUlt heM can you be sure as to what
bappe..- if you were not in a~.
Yes, MrS. JJak.er, I am an elected official, elec::'ted by 'ffItJl fellow citiJle1\S,
and I would like 1:0 adcl that. of the 23 names which ai9ft8Cl tb8 letter of
septemhAr 17, 1971 to Mayor BrOWn, only 4 actually vot*l at. 'the last
election and 1:hat of those 23 .... 2 axe not even reatJ!ent8 of this
Municipality.
I have been a resi4eJlt since May of 1959 an! have been invo1ve4 in
calIIlUnity affain since lIhorUy after I racwecI t.o North orlando. I have
been a past pr:esicl4mt of the Civic AsSoCiation, an officer of the North
orlardo Pire DepU."tDl8Dt., haft been a CouDCilDan for over 6 years, ana. am
pr..ant.ly ....in9 'IIl'./ seccm4 teJ:m as Vice Mayor. I haW been illY01wd as
coach, ~ and prcmoter of Little r...eeque in North or1a!l40 for 'the
past 8 or 9 years. 'fherefore, I believe that. I am, pUbapt, more qualified
than at leUt thoee 19 aignatu%'eS of yfN% letter who 414 not vote as to
how best 1:'.0 ha.n4le village affairs. -
I, however # 40 not ~ 'the apparent furor that the recent. procee4iD98
relative to ....iJ19 a very. fina, highly quaUfie4 police officer, to the:
post of sergeant, a1:'. no iDcreaae in salary.
I feel that as long as this maD .is willin; to serve at vbat you must a,cJr"
is a non cal()8titive aa.laJ:y then it should matter little to aDyone, wbe1:her
he is called a qua:r4, a pat:rolman, a po1iceman, or a sergeant.
Yes MrS. Baker, all of you who siqned the letter live in North orlando
except. ~. 'l'b.1s ill your city and when you have lived here long' enouqh
to be eliqible to vote, you may exercise that pxivilege in vot.inc;J for,
or against me or any other pcu:son you. choose. In the meantiDle however,
I would solicit yo:rr help and cooperation in leavinc;J the reins of your
local q~nnant in the hands of those who were elected by those who
cared enou9h to vote.n
sincerely,
