Dear Walden t
PINg VALLEY COMMUNITY DEVBLOPMENT DISTRICT
Following up our oonversstion of this morning, I was surprised
to learn yesterday that Ordinance No. 82-2 creating the Pine
Valley Co~nunity Development District had not been exeouted.
My file indicates the proposed ordinanoe to have been furnished
prior to the hearing On it, but it may have been misplaoed in
the shuffle.
No harm has been done, but it is urgent that the ordinanoe be
executed prior to Tuesday, May llth, whioh is the date upon
which the first Board of Supervisors will be officially sleeted.
I intended to have the ordinance hand-carried to Chairman MoCain
during the course of the day, but have learned he is out of town.
Trusting he will be available as part of the Work Session on
Monday, May 10th, X am forwarding herewith & new original ordinance
in form oo~plying with Chapter 190, Florida Statutes. A copy
of the ordinance together with a cop~ of this oorreSpondence is
also being delivered to Dan Barrel1, Esquire.
I have taken the liberty of dating the ordinanoa execution the
date of its adoption, March 2, 1982. Please advise if my
assistance is needed for having ChairmanMcCain execute the
ordinance on May 10th.
Thank you for your assistance.
Yours very truly,
