Dear MayUr-P-artyka:
"
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS
Community Development
Habitat for Humanity in Seminole County is applying for certification to
take part in Florida's Community Contribution Tax Credit Program, so that
we'll be able to offer our corporate partners in Seminole County tax
incenti yes for becoming house-building sponsors. Since 1990 we have buil t
48 homes throughout Seminole County for very lo\v-income families, one of
them in \ViDter Springs. This tax incentive program will allow us to
significantly increase that number over the coming months and years.
Part of the application process requires that we acquire a Resolution from
the cities in which w'~ build houses. I have attached the recommended
verbiage, in hopes that we can put this matter before the Winter Springs City
Commission for their consideration.
If you require any otber infonnation, I can be reached at 407-328-9717.
Thank you for your consideration on behalf of Habitat for Humanity in
Seminole County.

Dear Charles,
In response to your query, Habitat for Humanity is requesting an ENDORSEMENT, via the adoption of a resolution, that
Habitat's goal of building homes to eliminate poverty housing in blighted low-income communities is consistant with the
codes and other enforcements adopted by the city. That we are, in that respect, not in conflict in any way with the cities
plans for the overall health, safety, and economic viability of the city.
We are not asking for any financial or legal obligation, only a resolution ENDORSING our program: Once we receive
that, then Winter Springs will be listed as one of the cities in Seminole County in which we can utilize funds through the
state's Community Contribution Tax Credit program to build houses there.
This request was on the docket several meetings ago, and Commissioner McCloud needed clarification, and so it was
tabled. I have since met with Commissioner McCloud and safisfactorily addressed his queries/concerns. So you do have
a record of the resolution as it was written. But if you need further clarification" please call me personally at 407-595-
2061. I would call you, but my assistant neglected to get your phone number when you spoke to her this afternoon.
Thanks, and I hope this helps

rpake an informed decision."
