RE: My position as Public Information Adviser
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen of the Better Government Task Force:
I received the most recent notice appointing Iris Mitgang as "Alternate Public Information
Adviser" for purposes of the Better Government Ordinance.
I was appointed "Public Information Adviser" some time ago, but nothing has transpired since
that date. No matters have been referred to me. I have decided in 1997 to write two more books,
and commence giving homeowner seminars on,a monthly basis for homeowners who live in
condominiu ns and townhouses and have questions about the practice and legal aspects.
These activities will inhibit my ability to act on a moments notice for the Better Government
Task Force as the Public Information Adviser. I believe it would be preferable to reappoint Ms.
Mitgang,as the Adviser,rather than the alternative,because I would like to resign my appointed
position.
I very much appreciate your willingness to appoint me and your show of confidence. I am sorry
I could not be of more service and that no specific questions came up which would have enabled
me to provide you with a service. If at any point in the future some of my time is freed up, I may
reapply. I would welcome the opportunity if I had enough time to do a good job.
I wish you all the best of luck in the future. As I indicated to you at the meeting 1 attended,I
believe this position could be amplified and used in a manner that would bring good public
relations to the Better Government Task Force.
Please call me if.you have,any questions. Otherwise,please consider this my apologetic letter of
resignation.
Sm rely,
