City Commissioners,
For the last few months I have had the honor of serving on the Paw Park Advisory
Committee.. Recently, I became married and have moved from Winter Springs to
Geneva. 1 still own the house on Sailfish Road and operate my business in the city. It
has come to my attention that city regulations require a committee member to be a
resident of the city. I have discussed the issue at the last committee meeting and with the
other members and due to the amount of time to find a veterinary replacement, we are
asking the City Commission to allow me to stay on the Advisory Committee to its
completion. If this is not possible or unacceptable, I will abide by your decision. If you
have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
.f)..--
D. Paul Williams, D.V.M.
